My husband and I stumbled across this place and it was a pleasant surprise. Restaurant has a bar vibe so I was not expecting much from the food. The michelada was delicious and the cerviche was amazing! Lots of shrimp and octopus- was not expecting this. We will have to come back and try the other dishes!
Soup was FANTASTIC- the meat was so tender and the broth was seasoned to perfection. Lots of love went into that soup. Homemade chips and salsa also were a hit and there salsa picante had a very complimentary flavor with the dishes. Would recommend for anyone looking for some authentic, heart warming, soup
Heck of a good Michelada 🍺 with plenty of powder & spice dripping from the rim and in the glass they add a combination of Worcester, Clamato, Tapatio, and a house special blend served in an ice cold goblet. The ceviche was also very good with a big portion of pulpo 🐙 (octopus). Nice space overall with friendly staff and the tunes you would expect in such a restaurant including soccer channel ⚽️ permanently on the tv. The quesabirria is also a sizzling masterpiece of flavor.
Stumbled in here on New Year's day and had a good experience. The chips are fresh and the meals were a good portion and tasty. Service was a little slow but fine overall.
Amazing food! The portion sizes were very large and prices super reasonable. You can tell everything is made in-house. Would highly recommend.
Authentic Mexican run by a really nice family. We had fajitas + nachos, and it was too good to stop even when we were full!
So glad to have found this restaurant that served great food that opening late at night when all of other restaurants closer to Mission Street had long lines or closed after the Day of the Dead festival and we were starving. The price was great, too. The menu was in Spanish only (must be authentic, right?) but we kind of figured it out. The location is further down from the busy Mission but probably easier to find parking. There are buses that run along 24th and Bryant Streets. Will visit again if I am in the neighborhood.
Excellent as always! Chicken Mole and a Steak Taco.
Deliciousness abounds! El Tmate's food is top notch. The Waitress was wonderful, she make terrific margaritas as well!
Tried El Tomate when our favorite taquería was closed on Christmas. The food was very tasty and authentic. It did take a long time for service but that could have been because of the holiday.
They should fix their tables. I noticed at least three that were very wobbly.
Would recommend and plan to go again!
Very relaxed, casual setting for good food. Fresh tortilla chips were a bonus. Steak fajitas were OK, meat wasn't great but the chicken was great!
Excellent food, good service. Garlic shrimp plate was mighty tasty. Tacos + chicken enchiladas plate was also very good. Lots of options to choose from.
Super good. Super good burrito, beer, chips, and salsa. The beer was bottles, and the burrito was knife and fork instead of wrapped in foil, and it was still awesome. Up with this place!
yummy, home style Mexican/southwestern food. Nice local neighborhood spot!
Excellent good and awesome lunch special. Huge portion and reasonablely priced. You need to try it out yourself when you're in this lovely neighborhood 🌮🤩
Great food in a low key atmosphere. I had the fajitas which were amazing. Prices also easy on the family budget.
