El Metate - Pasadena

Huge portions and great value. Could barely finish.

Go to family owned and operated Mexican restaurant in Pasadena. This coming from a Mexican person Tastes just like home and the service is bar none.It feels like you're walking into your Tias house from the very start. First class service, at very affordable rates.Must try the molcajete for sure!

A neighborhood gem. Parking is a little tricky in this neighborhood.

The food is delicious and the customer service is top tier. The salsas do a great job at complementing the chips and platters. Although I’d say I’ve had better molcajete than this place, it’s still really delicious. The owners and the son are amazing! Definitely check it out.

Hands down the best Mexican food. I can't recommend this place more. I'm lucky enough to have visited over the years. Will be returning every time we come to Pasadena.
