I absolutely love this place! I’ve never had a bad experience. The drinks are always on point and the food is always hot an fresh! Jonathan is my favorite waiter. He took excellent care of us the last time we were there.

It was our first time there and the food was so delicious. We had the Bob's queso and the chicken fajita sandwich and my husband had a n enchilada and a taco. Njeri was our server and she was wonderful and attentive and funny. We had a great lunch!! Definitely will be returning
Service was quick and friendly. I had the brisket tacos which were excellent. Matt's fries as an appetizer were lacking. Maybe a little pricey for the food but it was very good overall.
1st time here. Was spur of the moment. I had fried catfish… was delish! Recommend! Raspberry margarita - uh yum! No pic because I drank it all! Wish they were open later. Was a relaxing place and music playing would play a mixture of country, oldies & spanish. Very nice atmosphere! I’ll be back, don’t know when but hopefully soon!
This is one of my favorite restaurants! Yes, this is run by the same family as Matt's in Austin that I enjoyed while in school at the University of Texas. Start off with a Bob Armstrong appetizer and the you must try a Chicken Chile Relleno with carne sauce or a Chicken Stuffed Zucchini.
One of my favorite places continues to "wow" me with its outstanding service and delicious Tex-mex. I'm talking about Matt's Rancho Martinez on Skillman in the Lakewood district. I came early, around 5:30 pm, and got seated straight away. If you are planning on eating here on a Saturday night, it's a good idea to call ahead for a reservation. However, I have never waited longer than about ten minutes for a table at Matt's, and that includes peak hours. For my meal this trip, I decided on the Beef and Guacamole Enchiladas with sour cream.
Spanish rice and refried beans are also included with this meal. I inquired of my waiter if Matt's made their own tostadas because they taste so fresh. He informed me that indeed they do make them on-site. In fact, the tostadas at Matt's are never older than two hours old. That's freshness you can taste and just part of the reason I keep coming back to Matt's Rancho Martinez.
My waiter prepared for me a free take-home bag of tostadas since I was obviously a fan of them. My food came out quickly and my chip bowl never went empty. One of these evenings when it gets a little cooler I'm going to try eating out on the patio and take in the street ambience of Skillman. If you like margaritas, Matt's has one of the best in town. Family owned and operated for over 70 years, Matt's Rancho Martinez should be on your radar if you like quality Mexican food and great service. Also, check out the Grilled Fish Tacos-delicious!
My son has Celiac disease and Matt's was very accommodating and the food was amazing. There was nothing but empty plates!
We will be back on our next trip to Dallas!
Don’t even ask. Just give me a bowl of Bob Armstrong dip, some chips, and a margarita. I am now in my happy place. Dinner may follow and it will be amazing, too.
Great place. Being from Austin I know their sister restaurant, Matt's El Rancho, so this was a fun adventure. The Bob Armstrong dip is a classic and the grandfather of all queso. The service was wonderful and the drinks were nice. It was exactly as I was expecting.
This is the real Lakewood-ers TexMex. This comida consistently makes mouth watering plates of Texas style comfort food. Chilies relleno, tacos, and margaritas. Try the chicken fried steak Bob style...you only live once.
Emily was my waiter and she is so amazing and funny! Amazing service and amazing food . I will definitely be back .
Went here upon the recommendation of a friend. The service was adequate and the portions were soooo generous. The chips and salsa are amazing and I had grilled zucchini with chicken. Was very tasty but the rice was a bit dry. Otherwise, the outside dining was lovely withisters and the skinny margarita was delicious! Definitely worth a try!
