About
Experience luxury dining
like never before.
At Los Metates, we bring the heart of Mexican cooking to the streets of Austin. Inspired by the traditional metate — a stone tool used for grinding corn by hand — our food is built on heritage, handcrafted flavor, and a deep respect for those who came before us. Whether you’re catching a flight, taking a break from the job site, or just following the smell of sizzling tacos, we’re here to serve up tradition with every bite.
We’re proud to be just minutes from the Austin airport and even prouder to serve locals, travelers, and hardworking crews who know real flavor when they taste it.
Our Values
Experience the rich flavors of Mexico, handcrafted with care and tradition in every dish we serve.
Our recipes are rooted in generations of Mexican home cooking — bold, soulful, and always made with love. From slow-cooked meats to fresh salsas, we carry the flavors of the past into every plate.
We don’t cut corners when it comes to taste. Every dish is made from scratch using quality ingredients, seasoned to perfection, and cooked with fire and heart.
We’re not just a food truck — we’re part of the neighborhood. We serve everyone with the same respect and hospitality you’d find at a family gathering. Whether you’re a traveler, a local, or part of a nearby crew, you’re family here.
Being mobile means we go where the people are — from job sites to events to neighborhood pop-ups. But no matter where we roll, we stay grounded in our mission: share authentic Mexican food with real people, every day.
The chef
"Cooking is our love language
— and every dish is a
conversation with my roots."
Our chef grew up with the sound of tortillas sizzling and salsas being blended by hand. With every dish, they bring that same sense of care and culture to the streets of Austin. Blending old-school recipes with modern execution, they’re here to serve up a menu that’s bold, fresh, and full of heart. For them, cooking isn’t just a craft — it’s a connection.
