Worth the drive!!. My wife and I went to Matt's El Rancho for a date night. Our waitress was fantastic. We really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. The menu was extensive, prices were reasonable, and food was delicious. We look forward to going back soon!…
So So. The last time we went there the food was o.k. but the waiter acted like he had a burr in his underwear. The time before that the food was cold and the manager was a jerk. We waited two years before we went again. Thought by then the people had all changed. No such luck. The food was fair AND the waiter knocked over my water glass. Never went back. It's too loud and clang bangy in there.…
Very Consistent and Good. Love Matts!! Been coming to this place for 5 years now. Drinks are great! The Brisket quesadillas are da bomb!! Shrimp Nachos are great too!!
Serious down grade....
Well first I want to say the service was absolutely on top of things! Every one that we saw from the time we walked in until we were seated, served and left was very nice.
The food on the other hand was the pits! It's like they down graded their cook and the quality of the food. I have eaten there a long time ago, and was expecting to be WOWed like I was then...Sad to say, I was not..
My friend had the veggie fajitas and she said they were horrible, no flavor and rubbery. Her rice was also not seasoned in a Mexican style. She could have brought her own soy sauce, and just put the veggies on the rice and she would have had make shift Chinese food. She also ordered a side of queso, which was good and the chips were great!
My brother had the chile relleno and said that the pepper was cleaned out so thin that he could not even taste the pepper and that the beef inside of it was so bland, no season or flavor what so ever. He also had a side of guacamole which would have been very good if the would not have ruined i with putting salsa on top of it.
I had the guacamole enchiladas with beef inside and a queso/ red sauce on top. I asked for queso topping but i guess the cook didn't think that I needed it..So I only got it on one side of my enchilada. The beef inside was VERY bland no flavor and my rice was over flavored.
I was just so disappointing that we paid so much money for such horrible food. I wish they would go back to what ever they used to do about 7 years ago..
Pros: Great service
Cons: Horrible food…
