Hello readers. I’m back to you with another joint, Philly cheesesteaks baby. Who doesn’t love cheesesteaks? They are probably one of my all time favorite comfort foods. I’ve loved cheesesteaks ever since I was little when my parents introduced me to them. There are a lot of great Philly cheesesteaks out there, but there are a lot of bad ones as well. You have to be careful where you try them because there are many copycats, fakes, and wannabes. I preferably only have Philly cheesesteaks at places where my friends and family recommend me to go to. I suggest you all go here. Metros Caffé is yet another great San Francisco staple that many people don’t know about. Not to be confused with Metros Café, Metros Caffe is located in the Lower Haight area on Filmore Street between Haight and Laussat Street. This place is that local neighborhood joint to get your semi-greasy but awesome sandwich fix.
Metros is a family owned operation where they emphasize using high-quality ingredients. They use top grade ribeye beef and make their burgers and cheesesteaks a la minute, and have three different types of offerings: appetizers, burgers, and cheesesteaks. Their appetizers consist of a multitude of food such as hot dogs, hot links, fish and chips, and corn dog. They also have french fries, fried zucchini, and tater tots! These are the perfect compliments to their burgers and cheesesteaks. Their burgers and cheesesteaks are made from quality Niman Ranch natural beef, which is high quality beef from cattle fed with a 100% vegetarian diet and had never been given antibiotics or growth hormones. I hear they’re very good, but with their cheesesteaks don’t allow me to order anything else. The cheesesteaks are truly the highlight of this joint. They offer a variety of cheesesteaks such as the their standard metro cheesesteak with grilled onion, hot and sweet peppers. They also have BBQ cheesesteak, mushroom cheesesteak, and my favorite, the bacon cheesesteak.
Walking into Metros, I could smell the beef sizzling on the grill, with the sweet smell of onions and peppers. I walked up straight to the cashier looking at the menu that I just described above, and my eyes were automatically drawn to the bacon cheesesteak. What’s better than prime ribeye beef and bacon? Nothing I say. Aside from that, I also decided to get some tater tots. Tater tots have always been an all time favorite of mine, first tasting this wondrous food at my elementary school cafeteria line. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked! The food took about eight to ten minutes to prepare and came to my table piping hot. It looked like any standard cheesesteak, but the moment I took a bite, I understood what all my friends were talking about. This was the bomb! I could taste the juicy ribeye and the sweet onions with the crispy bacon topping it all off. The tater tots were extremely well seasoned, super crispy, and not overly oily. No lie, it was probably one of the best tater tots I’ve had.
Metros is definitely one place to remember. It is a very unassuming place. There’s nothing fancy about it and they let the food speak for itself. Metros gave me one of the better cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. It wasn’t the best, but I cannot deny its deliciousness. Metros is a pretty tiny location, so if you don’t like close quarters you may want to get it to go. Also, don’t forget your cash! I hope you all enjoy this place as much as I did.
On a side note, there is also an awesome ice cream place across the street called Three Twins Ice Cream. It is an organic ice cream shop uses a simple and high-quality ingredient base. This shop is almost like a Ben & Jerry’s. I recommend you going here after eating at Metros. It’s the best way to top off a delicious Metros cheesesteak.
