El Metate - Signal Mountain

Worst mexican food ever. Food is cold and over priced. They got my order wrong twice and acted annoyed that they had to fix my order. Will never go there again. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

I don’t know how a restaurant can get my order wrong every single time I come in, my order is very simple, I order the nachos vegetarian with extra queso sauce and rice, every single time I come in, and they ALWAYS mess it up, be it there’s grilled chicken or steak on them, no cheese, or no rice or a combination of all 3 unwanted or missing ingredients. I keep coming back because the restaurant is close to my house and I hope that maybe one time they won’t mess my meal up in some form, they have yet to prove me otherwise. The only thing that is positive is that the wait staff is fairly friendly. The last time I came in was 01/24/25 (Friday night) Vegetarian options: There is a good chance that you’ll find some form of meat on the vegetarian menu items

I have been there 3 times and everytime they get my order wrong. They put pieces of chicken in my vegetarian dish, all 3 times. This is not acceptable. The salsa is awfull, the food is never hot. Will not go there again. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

I was excited to try this Mexican spot on Signal Mountain, as we were up there for a class and were hungry. Firstly, I will say that the service was top notch. Our waitress was lovely and very attentive. However, the food was subpar. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong things. Everyone else at the restaurant seemed to be enjoying their meals, and I think I could smell the fajitas, which smelled divine. However, I don’t recommend the grilled chicken salad or the chicken tortilla soup. We ate them because we were hungry but the chicken tortilla soup was especially disappointing. It was lukewarm and did not have much flavor. The best thing going for it was the avocado. The broth itself tasted like they just added diced tomatoes to some canned chicken broth. I think they could really make this soup great if they wanted to but maybe they’re putting most of their energy into tacos and burritos and fajitas, etc. Or maybe it was just an off night. If we happened to be hungry on Signal Mountain again, I might try this restaurant again and order something else, but I probably will not be ordering the chicken tortilla soup again and I won’t be recommending this restaurant to friends until I have a better food experience.
