El Metate on Bryant between 22nd & 23rd (EOPB)

What a find!  We loved this Mission Taqueria and it's "cute to boot".  Really nice staff and friendly customers, who shared their "favorites" with us, while standing in line to order.  I had a fish taco and Rosalie had the carnitas burrito.  Absolutely delish............. 
The decor was bright and colorful and the restaurant was clean and inviting.  The salsa bar was well stocked with (mild to really spicy) salsas, which set my taste buds on fire.  Loved it!
Rosalie had one of the house-special fruit drinks that she said tasted like fresh melon and was excellent!
Once again, it was a Wednesday lunch, so parking on the street was not a problem.  Nice little neighborhood and clearly a favorite haunt for local business people.
This one ranked high on our list, plus the total bill (for both of us) was under $12.00. 
This is a  perfect little find for "fab" Mexican food in vibrant surroundings, yet a casual spot.
