Customer Reviews
Great atmosphere and tasty food. The beef enchiladas were delicious and came out fast. The salsa is tasty but definitely leans on the spicier side! The outdoor seating is a wonderful sanctuary from the noise of the city. A must-visit in Austin.
Fantastic place to get Tex-Mex. The brisket nachos were incredible but the quesadilla was by far the single greatest quesadilla I have ever had. Absolutely phenomenal. I have heard great things about Bob's Queso, but I didn't get to try it. Next time for sure (and you can bet there will be a next time even though I live across the country.
Out if town for a wedding from New Jersey! Perfect cosmo cocktail - made w fresh lime and Cointreau! Great prices, Good service- food came out fast and was hot! Had the fresh guac, chicken and cheese enchiladas. Brenda our server was the best! Sat on outdoor patio in the sun! Nice breeze! Enjoyed this place on our mini vaca!
Matt’s is quintessential Tex-Mex! The Knockout Martini is a must-try, and starting with the Bob (queso) sets the perfect tone for the meal. The shrimp and steak fajitas are outstanding—flavorful, tender, and absolutely delicious. A true Austin staple that never disappoints! Please note that Matt’s can get quite busy during peak hours, but the service moves quickly. The tables are set close together, and the lively atmosphere can get loud—so sip your drink, soak it all in, and enjoy the experience!
Came here for a quick lunch after a business meeting. Didn’t expect much from a Tex mex restaurant called Matt’s and I was impressed. Service was friendly and fast. Inside is very cozy and warm. They have patio seating in the back. Chips and salsa hit the spot. Waitress recommended the Asadero tacos and boy am I ever glad I went with it. It was so tender and flavorful that I didn’t add the fixings that came with the food. $20 for two tacos which is pricey but well worth it.
