About El Metate

In the summer of 2019, I arrived in Eindhoven to work as a chef. Unfortunately that didn’t work. Life had different plans. I had no job, no friends, no Dutch, no English, not so much money. Yet, as the Mexicans say, "le eché ganas" —I gave it a try!

In 2020, amidst the global chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, El Metate was born. It wasn't an easy start, but determination and a love for authentic Mexican cuisine fueled the fire. Little by little my food truck, became a familiar sight at local markets, events, and festivals.

El Metate isn't just another food truck; it's a culinary voyage rooted in tradition and passion. I learned to cook from my paternal grandmother and my mother, passing down generations of family recipes. Every dish is crafted with heart and authenticity, offering a true taste of Mexico. The menu caters to adventurous eaters, spice lovers, and those seeking true Mexican flavors. Importantly, it offers vegan and vegetarian options, making it inclusive for all.

El Metate’s story is a story of resilience, passion, and the universal language of food. the taste of Mexico, and become part of a story that brings people together, one delicious bite at a time.

Join me in savoring Mexico's soul in every delicious bite.
