Bib Gourmand antojitos and wood-fire grilling in El Tezal.
Metate takes its name from the volcanic stone traditionally used to grind maize, and that reverence for the basics runs through everything the kitchen sends out. Tucked into El Tezal, it is a small, deeply popular room that has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in the Mexico selection for cooking that punches well above its price.
The menu is built on antojitos and wood-fire grilled meats, the kind of Mexican cooking that rewards good ingredients and a hot fire. The signature is the Tacos Baja: blue-corn tortillas cradling flaky white fish fried in a striking squid-ink batter, then finished with pickled cabbage.
The setting is a real part of the draw. A white-stucco entry opens onto a tree-shaded stone patio strung with lights, anchored by an open-air kitchen and a tiled bar. It feels relax
