Matachines Authentic Mexican Food - Great chips! - Mexican Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

I love Matachines. Although I don't visit too often it's one of my favs and never disappoints. I do wish they were open later though. I love that the chips are made fresh so when you get them they're still warm. I usually get tacos but the last time I went I tried the pasole verde as I had heard really good things about it. They were right, it was delicious!! I was so full but I couldn't stop eating it! Haha I also enjoyed myself a Mexican Coke as that's the only type I'll drink when it comes to coke. I've also always loved the authentic dining plates and the decor. I definitely recommend trying it out and keeping this small local restaurant in business. And the salsa is phenomenal as well!!!! read more

Matachines Authentic Mexican Food - Their salsa is phenomenal as well! - Mexican Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

We had a great first visit. Our server was lovely and took good care of us. There are complimentary chips, salsa, and queso. The salsa was excellent. For the queso, it tasted like cheap nacho cheese, so I probably wouldn't eat it again. My beef enchilada with red sauce was delicious. The ground beef was chunks of sirloin, and it had a nice charred to it. Good rice and beans, but the rice was soggy. Overall still one of the best Mexican food I had recently. read more

First time here Working nearby. Craving Mexican food & was greeted quickly with a smile from the staff. I saw they had beer and margaritas.... Maybe next time!!! I decided whatever the server thought was best... She mentioned green enchiladas... I did chicken and it came out lightning fast and piping hot. THE Chips and salsa...so delicious & came out fast. The entire experience was great. My two items after taxes was in the $18 range.. but I didn't leave hungry. I destroyed all the decadent foods. Staff seemed to work well together and seemed happy so kudos to them for a job done well. I will return when in the area! I love the smiling masked staff!

Man, I really wanted to love this place.. Reviews below were good, I was trusting in this! Sadly - service was SLOW, as they only had 1 guy on the floor and 1 cook. **understand it's tough, but 45+ minutes for 3 tacos is too much with work lunch hours*** ***NO LUNCH MENU - full price all day*** Salsa & chips, yep they are good - **BUT THEY CHARGE YOU AUTOMATICALLY** 3.99 - it's not complimentary like us OKLA folks know well. Food was okay, but sadly not enough to return or tell my people to come here. 3/10 total review. :/ read more

Matachines has remained one of my favorite places in Edmond to grab tacos (or my latest Mexican craving) since 2017. My love for the folks and food at Matachines has only grown since they established this little spot in 2017. I love supporting this local Latinx LGBTQ+ owned business. Their tacos are perfect. They don't compromise on flavor or authenticity. Don't skip adding a pinch of lime and a little bit of salsa to each bite, this takes them to next level. I usually get 3 street tacos, whatever meats I'm feeling as they are all really tasty. Other menu items I love: --tortas (a Mexican sandwich with everything except the kitchen sink) --sopes --tamales (get both & eat together for deliciously cheesey bites) They can be hard to spot when driving by. They are located in the little strip mall with Aspen Coffee at 15th at Fretz. They share a parking lot with the Dental Depot. They serve food up until closing time, but if you go too late their dining room may be closed and they'll be happy to serve you a to-go order. God bless Mexican people and their food. Thank you for sharing your culture, food and love with us in Edmond, OK :) September 2021 read more

I am so sad, they closed last Sunday for good! The owner worked so hard to keep it open. I wish her all the best!

Overall visit was great. Food, service*, and accessibility was all great. You'll find familiar Mexican dishes here that you'd find at most Mexican restaurants, but with the unique flair of herbs and spices that is expected when trying a different chef's culinary flair They offer agua frescas and horchata, and those are always like dessert for me and golly they're soooooooooo good. They also have praline clusters, and other sweets and desserts The interior is nice and decorative with plenty of seating available. Lots of east-facing windows, so you'll get a good amount of natural lighting during the daytime There are a couple of entrances and exits off of 15th Street that lead to this small shopping strip/business park, with plenty of parking spots read more

We have visited this restaurant many times. The one thing that I loved right from the beginning was their made in house fresh flour chips & their amazing salsa!!! Endless. The best!!!! Then recently I tried their green chili posole.... And let me just tell you how amazingly delicious it is!!! Wow!!! I always get the large b/c who doesn't live leftovers!? It's that good! I get two delicious meals out of it!!! It's made with chicken not pork. The only thing that could make it better is if they had cabbage to go with it! My husband usually gets street tacos which he says are very gf! The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is due to the slowness of the wait staff. When there is only two tables with customers you shouldn't have to walk up to the counter for refills etc. But the food is worth going back for over & over & over again! Sorry I forgot to get pictures of the chips & salsa. read more

We just moved to the area so we've been exploring new restaurants, starting off with this one. I was a little surprised that we were the only ones there but I'm not complaining! The interior is very unique and pretty and the ambiance was nice. The reason I'm giving this a 3.5/5 stars is because the prices are pretty steep. $13-14 for a taco plate is crazy to me (3 tacos, rice and beans).. maybe I'm just used to the prices in Texas which were always around $9. So as much as I wanted some street tacos, I opted for the chicken flautas plate. If you order two "platters" which consists of a list with about 10 different plates, the chips and salsa are free of charge. So we did just that. Chips and salsa were great! We had mixed emotions at first but it quickly grew on it and now my husband is obsessed lol. Sweet tea as well. It's not overly sweet, tasted like real tea instead of straight up sugar. Below are the ratings for everything we ate! Beef enchiladas plate: 9/10 beef was seasoned well! Chicken flautas: 6/10 chicken was super dry/unseasoned Sweet tea: 8.5/10 Carne asada fries: 7.5/10 needs more toppings maybe onions + cilantro Chips and salsa: 9/10 chips were homemade, salsa was fresh and delish Rice and beans were fire as well! Overall we'd def come again. read more

Matachines Authentic Mexican Food - 3 Barbacoa Street Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

We've eaten lunch here several times and are slowly working through the menu. So exciting to see dishes like Posole, Chicken Mole and Sopes on the menu! Everything is delicious from the thicker authentic chips with salsa like no other, homemade chunky guacamole to drinks like Horchata. Desserts like flan make it extra special, and if you leave without trying the Mexican Coffee, I'm sorry. Wow! Service is pleasant and always attentive! I'm so happy to see this authentic Mexican restaurant on the north side of town, especially Edmond! read more

This place is my new go-to for street tacos. The carne asada is incredible. They have brunch tacos with chorizo which are also great! If you like spice, their red salsa on the table is amazing. The chips are super freshly made and their salsa with those is also incredible. Can't say enough good things about the quality of food here! Didn't get a pic because I can't wait to eat my food! read more

When 3 Tequilas was closed for remodeling, we were in a scramble to find some Mexican lunch and saw this was near. It's hidden in a shopping center but well marked with signage. There was some traffic on the road leading into the shopping center and leaving which was tough - I'm not around Edmond much so this probably is typical lol we got some complimentary chips and queso. Crispy chips, okay cheese and salsa. Didn't realize guacamole was extra, since the server asked if we wanted some, but we should never assume! Ordered a chimichanga plate - was mostly the tortilla/breading and really light filling. The beans was good. But the rice was watery for some reason and just not flavorful at all. My husband ordered eggs and chorizo and it wasn't as flavorful as he hoped. As a Mexican, he did not enjoy his plate at all. It was passable for lunch but that's about it. Overall, nice service but the food was just okay. read more

Holy moly yummy and authentic! I follow a local food page on Facebook and noticed this place always advertising. They advertised $3.99 margaritas so of course i was intrigued! Located in Edmond off 15th and super easy to get to! It's just right before the railroad tracks in a shopping center area. We were immediately greeted and chose whatever seat we wished. We didn't have a wait at 6 on a Friday evening. I figured they would only have two options of so from margarita but they had so many everything from strawberry to mango to original! I opted for the mango on the rocks and it was superb! I would've easily had a second if i wasn't juggling my kids. I even loved they served the margaritas in plastic cactus glasses. My husband and i both ordered the 3 taco plate. These are street tacos and on the smaller side. Anywhere else Tex mex the tacos are larger and I'd never finish three but easily could here. They were perfectly seasoned as well! They also came with a side of rice. My son got the kids meal chicken quesadilla and it was very generous portion! He couldn't finish the entire thing. I loved the chips and guacamole we got as an appetizer. Definitely not spicy what so ever. Service was very attentive and can't wait to come back to this charming local place! read more

First time to dine here tonight. Holy Cow!!!! That food is fantastic. We plan on being regulars now. This place is a bit hidden from street view, but worth the effort. (To the west of Dental Depot) I'm so happy we found them!! read more

After reading so many glowing reviews I was surprised by the lack of flavor and seasoning in their meats. Our first visit was on discount enchilada Tuesday, but both the red and green were done too simply and lacked flavor. Salsas taste processed. I've had nearly every taco here, all but their lengua. Tacos are filled with a lot of meat, but nothing stands out. Some are downright bland. Where are the authentic Mexican flavors, marinades and seasonings?? I will break them down... Their fajita tacos are a type not found elsewhere -- overflowing with fillings, pretty tasty, the only tacos worth getting here imo. Fajita de res -- steak is cut into odd long strings, lacks juiciness, but taco still pretty good. Pollo (chicken) are strips of plain breast meat, not marinated nor seasoned significantly, but meat is tender. Skip the pollo taco, but it's better in the 'fajita de pollo' taco (even better with only the grilled onions). Carnitas are fried extra crispy and stringy, flavor decent but the meat literally crunches. I prefer more tender pork. Al pastor marinade was much too mild, but okay with added grilled onions (ask for them) and salsa verde. The rest you can skip altogether... Asada and Barbacoa -- barbacoa slightly more tender and juicy, but both underseasoned and taste unimpressive. Molida (ground beef) -- dry, cheap, too bland. Buche -- or pig stomach, the worst of the bunch. It may sound odd but it can be good when stewed until tender. Here it's not being cooked right, too chewy like rubber, I nearly choked on it. Tip: be sure to ask for grilled onions on the side. Their dining room is simple but very clean with plenty of pleasant enough folks on counter service. But they refused seating us 20 minutes before closing even with food already prepared since I had called in ahead. I want to like this place, since all but the lengua tacos are 5 for $5.99 on Thursdays (recently raised from $1 each). But they have stiff competition from a couple of superior nearby taquerias who aren't afraid of seasoning. read more

I took my mom and husband here for lunch on Sunday. She was wanting authentic Mexican food and this seemed to fit. Our waiter was super helpful and explained the menu a little better. They really liked their food but be ware that the enchiladas are tiny(cute like) but also full of flavor. My shrimp fajitas weren't as flavorful and veggies weren't as grilled as they usually are. I'd like to give this place another chance but it might be awhile. read more

Matachines Authentic Mexican Food - Shrimp fajitas?? No sizzling skillet. 9/26/21 - Mexican Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

Matachines is actually a human machine of taco making magic. Yes, I mixed science and magic, get over it! What's that over there? A table? Look again because there are cards on that table....Get it? Cards on the table?............ Okay fine, I will not quit my day job! I have only had street tacos and chips and salsa from Matachines. Let's break them down one at a time shall we? Chips and Salsa The chips carry more fresh crunch than a recently harvested bell pepper. I am talking the chips are obviously homemade and wow did they transfuse me with crunchy power. Yeah I am crunchy now and I dig it! The salsa is a concoction that will make you a smarter individual by eating it. Scientifically speaking, (Yes, Yelp is where you should always come for scientific findings) each serving of salsa actually raises your IQ by 0.000135% of a point. Yes, it feels like a small amount per serving, but do you know how much intelligence peppers cost? Be glad you are getting this much and just order chips and salsa already! Street Tacos I have had five different tacos and as such I feel the only appropriate way to do this section is via an ultra popular top five list. 5. Al Pastor (Pineapple style Pork) - Okay this one being at the bottom of the list is totally on me. I historically don't love pineapple so much but I ordered this anyway. So yeah this is on me not them. If you like pineapple then order this. 4. Lingua(Tongue) - Solid taco, do not fret about ordering tongue, no one will bad mouth you for ordering this.... 3. Asada(Beef) - I mean these won't knock you on your Asada, but you won't be left asking where's the beef? 2. Carnitas(Pork) - I don't have anything snappy to say here, just order one of these unless you roll kosher...then don't order it. 1. Barbacoa (Beef) - This to me is by far the best street taco at Matachines. It is beef-tastic with all the flavors you would expect and crave on a mid march Saturday....We've all been there. My wife says that she could rule the world if she had enough chips and salsa. read more

I have only gotten carry out tacos here before, but we decided to come in and stay for dinner. I'm so glad we did. Their fresh chips and salsa are easily the best in Edmond. I had pozole and my wife had a torta. Both were great, but the pozole was next level. I will come get it anytime it's cold or I'm under the weather. They only had one server, but he worked his butt off. The place never got really busy, but it should be full every night. We will be back. read more

We recently used door dash to order from this restaurant. We've eaten there before but I can tell you this last meal that we received was not what we remembered. The salsa also tasted very different and it was too spicy for anyone to eat. The nacho cheese was cold and from a can & no one wanted to touch it either. The flautas had chicken inside that was extremely dry & un-flavorful. They forgot to make one of the burritos for our meal which ended us being short a meal for someone's dinner. The chips were incredibly salty. I ordered avocado slices for two dollars as a part of my vegetarian child's dinner... it was six slices of avocado and it was so paper thin altogether it might have equaled .25 inch. So sad... but for $50 I don't think we will be back.! So I deducted a store for taste and another star for order accuracy. *As a sidenote door dash did credit me the cost of the meal that was not delivered in our order. Technically are door dash or should have caught the error. However they do not re-deliver missed items or erroneous orders as their policy is only to issue a refund in credits to your door dash account. You could re-order but in these COVID19 times it is at least an hour wait and you may have to pay another delivery fee. So we ended up sharing food to make it work* read more

The pros - really yummy fresh fried chips and smoky salsa and the cheese enchiladas are super good! They have a regular red sauce (not chile con carne) and are topped with finely shredded lettuce and a drizzle of sour cream. Cons - The carne asada fries are a huge miss. Undercooked barely warm fries, non melted cheese and tough meat. Pass on these. read more

I'm not sure why I didn't review it last year when I first discovered it, but oh well, here we go. This place: clearly a five star Mexican joint, period. This trip, I wasn't feeling adventurous, so I ordered that day's special, which was three enchiladas with rice and beans. So... amazing. They aren't that big, or they don't LOOK that big, but you can easily get full on just this dish alone. With the chips and salsa you get with the meal, though, you're easily satisfied. Speaking of which, those chips... they are definitely made in house and pretty shortly before you sit down. They come to the table hot with a very chilly (but tasty) salsa. Everything about them screams "made with love." They are thick, but not too greasy; extremely crunchy, and mildly salted. I could go on about this place. The price is very reasonable, the food is authentic and delicious, and the service is fast and friendly. I don't know what more there is to say. Except, you owe it to yourself to try it! read more

Matachines Authentic Mexican Food - Chips are crazy thick n' tasty, salsa is outstanding too! - Mexican Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

A friend recommended Matachines because she loves their carnitas tacos. On my first visit, I tried her recommended tacos and loved them. I have to drive a distance to eat there but I have enjoyed making that happen. My wife shares my enthusiasm after I shared my new secret place. Should be easier to go more often now. I like their smoky table salsa served with their home made chips. Both the red and green taco sauces are very tasty. read more

I stopped in to get a takeout order of their salsa for comparison purposes. I had made a roasted chile salsa the day before, but mine was missing something. And they had tamales this time, so I ordered two red pork also. The salsa was totally different this time. Instead of a dark, roasted brown, this was a pale orange. It had substantially more vinegar and heat, but not the smoky pepper flavor that made me drink the last drops on my first visit. The tamales, however, were darned good. The corn husks and wax paper kept them warm on my 15-minute drive home. They weren't filled consistently through, but the masa was great; not the mealy kind you sometimes find. And the red pork was tender and tasty, with the perfect touch of heat. read more

Blown away! This is hands down the best authentic Mexican restaurant I have encountered in OK. Ordered via door dash and it was stellar. The guacamole is the best I have ever had.

The toppings were unique and delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Hubby & I are always looking for new places to explore, this morning I was wanting some huevos rancheros / chilaquiles, ended up doing my search up on google just to come across this place & went through the reviews & was definitely excited to walk in! Let me tell you, the moment I walked in I fell in love with the place itself! Our server was amazing, I wish I would have gotten her name she was such a sweetheart! I was so over the moon with their cafecito! It tasted just like my auntie & my grandma make it, felt at home for sure! I decided to get the chilaquiles, gives you 2 options for the kind of salsa you want on them & I got them both & it was absolutely delicious! On top of that hubby got the barbacoa plate & I had to get a taste off his & it was so delicious! We started off with chips, salsa, & guacamole! The chip's definitely taste freshly made & it has its very unique taste to it which makes it extra delicious! Everything was just so fresh & amazing, a true definition of authentic mexican food! I am from California which "mexican food" out here tends to be very different but THIS place had just that touch, love, & taste! I am please & cannot wait to go back! To the owner: whoever our waitress was when we were there around 11:15ish special shoutout to her she is amazing! Would love to get her name! read more

Finally found real Tex Mex in OKLAHOMA. Here's my take: Arrived at 1030 on a rainy Sunday. I was definitely feeling a bit homesick. (For food) Hubs ordered the chips and salsa $3.50 or so, which I have never paid for those before, but... they were great. Fresh fried chips served super hot with brown salsa. It's what I'm used to having in San Antonio. Great fresh taste and a strong slow burn. Comes with 1 refill. I ordered huevos mexicana served with beans and sliced avocado. Hubs had the chorizo eggs plate also with beans Sonny boy had green enchiladas with chicken. Everything was very good and tasted like food from home in Texas. Not at all what we usually get around here. Thank goodness The cleanliness was good and the staff friendly and attentive without any annoyance. We may have found our new place. Will be hitting up $1 street tacos this Thursday. I highly recommend checking this place out. Very pleasantly surprised. Enjoy the pics. read more

The food is great and it's a great value. We always have the same few waitresses and they are always kind. It is locally owned and they can whip up a great cocktail. It has become one of our favorite restaurants and we eat here half of the times we decide to eat out, which is not frequent. Definitely recommend giving this place a try. My favorite is the red or green enchiladas plate, with the chimichangas coming in second, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Food was flavorless. Service was horrible.. Ordered drinks and an appetizer. Waited 30 minutes for it to arrive. Ordered food another 30 minute wait. No one came to the table during the whole wait time. Food arrived wrong and cold, ordered a drink, it never came. There is nothing authentic about the food. Waited another 25 minutes for the check. Other people with long waits had to ask for menu's and the check. Not a pleasant experience! read more

I've been ordering Matachines through Postmates because they were having a free delivery offer and wowzer, it's delicious!!!! I've been trying their combination and beef fajitas and chips and dips. I love their chips! It's so unique and not like the chips at other Tex-mex places. Their best kept secret is their flour fajitas. It's soft and it's so SO perfect. You have to try them to know what I'm talking about. They give you spicy salsa and salsa verde with the food orders. Add them to your meal and they bring out all the flavors. I'm so glad I finally tried Matachines. My little man also love to eat here. He likes to nibble on the meats, rice, and the flour fajitas! We will definitely eat here many more times. read more

I really enjoyed this place! The chips, salsa, queso and flour tortillas are not complimentary but they are not pricey and well worth it. The chips were delicious, salsa flavorful. The queso was ok.

Not too spicy but super flavorful! read more

Food was good , but overpriced. The service and atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. I had to take our food to the counter when it was delivered incorrectly. I had the tamale plate and loved it.

Definitely not a repeat restaurant for my family. read more
