In Short
The self-declared King of Mexican Food has a long history of serving the rich and famous, but it became an Austin institution because it caters to a timeless, fad-less clientele: families. The Bob Armstrong dip is a mouthwatering combination of queso, guacamole and ground beef. Shrimp avocado pico comes in a cocktail glass layered with shrimp, cilantro, tomatoes and avocado. The fajitas are worthy of their fame, with sizzling veggies and meats. Creamy flan has a sweet caramel sauce underneath.

Matt's is a good dependable restaurant. The food is always good and the price is reasonable. The service is alays friendly and the experience is always enjoyable. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Tasteless food, deafening and definitely not worth waiting for a table. To top it off, my stomach paid the price, too. High greasy/fat Tex Mex. Have had better fast food Mexican food. The place is definitely not what I remembered from 10+ years ago.

We waited over an hour for a table for four on a Thursday night. They didn't appear to be that busy. The waiter was clearly not interested in us as we waited 20 minutes for him to take and receive our drink order (which was tea and water). We ordered and the food was cold and tasteless. I will never recommend Matt's to anyone. Go someplace else!
