Tacos el Metate

Discover the True Taste of Mexico

Tacos el Metate was established on April 15, 2017. Since then, we have been dedicated to serving our community with our authentic Mexican cuisine. In June of 2020, we decided to open our second location right across from Denver University. We also have a spot in Aurora and are so excited to announce our third location in Arvada in December of 2024. We hope to one day be able to bring our cuisine throughout all of Colorado!

The food is great and the staff are friendly. We've been here 3+ times since moving here about 2 months ago. I highly recommend the shrimp tacos, and my partner recommends the lengua.

Great tacos, very authentic. I love the salsa bar, the fish tacos are especially amazing. We liked the green enchiladas (they are spicy) and the alpastor tacos as well.

Very delicious tacos and tortas! The aguas Frescas and horchata are refreshing. The salsa bar has a variety of hot, medium, and mild choices. Will definitely be coming back!
