The staff is great. They welcomed me when I arrived and were very friendly. The food came out in just a few minutes and was brought to my table. My tostada was delicious. Loaded with plenty of meat, beans and toppings. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. read more

As many mentioned in their reviews- I also grew up going to Matta's, the experience and atmosphere at the current location is nothing like the prior locations. The current location is really just a stand with a few tables for eating in (nothing fancy) but it appeared most people ordered to go. Customer service was great it looked like there was just one person cooking the guy in the front took orders and then went to the back to help put orders together. There was quite a few people waiting on food but the orders came out fairly quick. As for the food you can't go wrong with Robert's Tacos they are just as good as I remember, my only complaint is the hot salsa. The hot salsa was very much on the tomato side and more of a sauce consistency. read more

Mattas Mexican Grill - Robert's tacos - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I have been eating at the original Matta's since 1966. This restaurant has the signage and logo of Matta's, however while my food "looked" correct, it was far from the food that I was used to eating! The quality was horrible and the taste followed! If this restaurant is still "in the family", as I was told, the family is not keeping to the traditions of the parents who started this business. Abeula is turning over in her grave! Awful read more

I've gone a couple of times now. They're enchiladas are really good. The guys in there are really nice people and very reasonably priced. Nice clean little restaurant that they keep improving. They have my future business. read more

I used to eat at Mattas as a young child years ago when it was on Main St. I loved it then......when I saw that they moved over in east Mesa and had just a to-go place I decided to give them a try. I will say that a lot has changed since the good old days. The food itself was good, nothing to rave about anymore, but it was good. It was clean on the inside and the people working were very nice. It's nice to see that some little part of an old favorite is still around. read more

The food is just amazing salsa perfect this has been a great restaurant it is just perfect

Grabbed some food while nearby for work. My burrito was delicious and the cheese crisp was a fun addition just to check them out. The guy who took my phone order was very friendly and got the order perfect. Picking up was fast and again super friendly staff! Didn't dine in but there are some basic tables if you want to stay and eat. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area! read more

Date 2/7/26. There were four of us. I had the chili relleno - usually my favorite. However, my husband had the Chimichanga stuffed with pork green chili topped with green sauce. It was AMAZING! The pork was so flavorful and tender! I'm trying that next time. Someone complained online that their food was smothered and messy. We eat almost any Mexican smothered in green chili - that's the CO and NM way!! Nothing fancy - but we'll be back!! read more

Matta's has the best chimichanga anywhere and the salsa is my favorite. We have been going here for years and will be going as long as it is open read more

I ordered two soft tacos- one shredded beef and 1 chicken. The weirdest soft tacos I have ever seen. They came out like rolled taco with lots of meat and cheese on top. Ok, they could be good but no. The beef tasted like salt, only salt. The soft corn tortilla tasted like it had been fried yesterday and cut like rubber. The chicken was indescribable. It didn't look or taste like chicken. I bought a side order of refried beans. They tasted scorched. They gave me another order of soft tacos of ground beef. Same kinda corn tortillas and ground beef that tasted old. Nothing was edible. I won't ever go there again! read more

Good tacos and taco salad. Their salsa is excellent!! It's best to do takeout as they have a very small area to dine inside.

My first time at Matta's Mexican place and the food IS AMAZING! The customer service is great! My RELLENO was wonderful, but the next time I'm ordering extra green chili to bring home! read more

Watch out look out; food ahead! Marta's opened up nearby and thought I would give it a go. As it always seemed busy. Stopped on a Saturday morning to grab a breakfast burrito. The staff is friendly and the place is pretty simple, not a bad thing. Ordered my food, breakfast burrito, and it was ready pretty quick. At home, opened up to see what they had cooked up. The burrito was ok, it included potatoes (the best part), chopped up sausage patties( the round ones) eggs and cheese. The sauce that came with it (side) was a bit bland, for my liking, a bit heavy on the tomato flavor side. Over all, if you like this kind of burrito, this place is for you. Personally, I favor a bit more spice and different ingredients. Again, they are pretty busy, so there is definitely an appeal for sure. read more

Matta's chile relleno. . . chef's kiss! I love the meat stuffing instead of only cheese, like most restaurant's do. And their beans! And their hot sauce! These are the three things that have me hooked. read more

Cure your Mexican food cravings with this little spot! There are a few tables inside and outside if you want to eat there. I just grabbed it go and feasted at home. Mmmmm mmmm good!

Great food and service. Smaller family owned Mexican establish with authentic dishes. Loved the chimichanga, beef tacos and Mexican pizza.

I went last night & waited over 25min for my order. It seems the little guys w/small orders mean nothing to the manager. Instead of placing my order, the owner was more concerned about the big order. I asked 3x if my food was ready. "It's coming. It's coming." His cook forgot to cook my order! And the food ended up being horrible. read more

First time here had the carnitas tacos they were out of this world amazing so flavorful and the dipping juice and hot sauce topped it off amazingly! The service was friendly and helpful and it is super clean. I'll be back for sure!! read more

We arrived early Saturday afternoon and we had three Number 4's and a cheese crisp. Fantastic! I just wish they were closer to Phoenix. Larry (the number 4 guy) read more

So it pains me to give Mattas a 3 star as I have been going to their restaurants since I was 4 years old. My parents went there before me and it has been a family tradition. Sadly after they moved to Mesa Riverview that is when their quality took a hit. The staff has always been friendly and I love to support them. But the quality of ingredients they use have not been the best. However their prices remain affordable comparable to other Mexican restaurants and I can't complain there. I still recommend them but I would like to see unprocessed quality ingredients like it used to be. You can clearly tell that they use canned meat which doesn't taste bad, but it's not the taste you expect. Owners if you are reading this I promise you that the valley would pay more for higher quality, I love the family business and want it to continue. If these changes happen I will gladly change my review. read more

Was in the area today and decided I give this place a try for lunch. Overall very impressed, ordered a Chicken Enchilada special with (lots and lots of) Rice and Beans. Food was tasty and of good quality. The person who took my order was very friendly and professional. The food was prepared correctly and quickly. So, I agree there is not much ambiance, but seems the bulk of their business is take-out. However, this a small store front in a shopping center so I ain't expecting anything fancy. All I care is the place is clean, fully stocked (napkins, straws, utensils) and the food comes out in a reasonable time and as expected. All of the above occurred during my visit. If you are expecting ambiance go to a chain in their own buildings such like Nando's, Garcia's. Mi Amigos, Serano'a, etc. Nonetheless, for a little north of $10 including a drink it is a great value which is becoming harder and harder to achieve. I was there to eat lunch, not wine and dine a client or a date. This will be one of those places if I happen to be in the area at the right time, I'll drop again. read more

I visited this restaurant on a Wednesday afternoon at about 3:00. I was with my mother in law and we were just a little hungry so we decided to split the Potato Tacos. Reasonable price and good portion. We each had one and then we were full. Lots of cheese. The service was ok. They were nice but the cashier was very dry and just seemed like he didn't wanna be there. This is a nice restaurant and I will be back and hope to see it do well. read more

I really wish I could write a better review. Ordered a chicken enchilada, beef taco, rice and beans. Everything was extremely bland, zero taste. It's like they even forgot salt exists to add flavor. Chicken enchilada - bland. Beans - bland, rice - bland, taco - yep bland. Add to that it cost $16.xx for this meal and they refused to include chips when I asked. Sure as heck wasn't about to give them more money. It's like after being in the east valley for 40+ years they forgot how to make good food at a fair price. Definitely won't be back again. Much better options around. read more

Great food at a chill spot. Quick, friendly and delicious. Stuffed burro with green chile pork!

if you're looking for a mexican spot that treats you like family and the food never disappoints; this is the place to go! the employees at the register are incredibly kind every time i stop in & they never fail to make me feel welcomed and cared for. I have always enjoyed the sandy's special if i'm looking for a fuuuullll MEAL but the mini chimis never miss either. to top it all off, mattas makes a MEAN salsa... don't forget to grab a jar before you take off because i promise you will want that when you get home! read more

Been with Mattas for 30 years...on main st, riverside and higley & brown. I ordered my cheese crisp with shredded beef and there was no crisp about it! Soggy, was served on a cardboard pizza board and when I tossed my trash, the table was moist. If it wasn't for buying the hot sauce... drove 50 miles rt to get it, I'd never go back again. Very disappointed in the cutbacks a restaurant of 70 years would do. They may as well close this one and only sell the hot sauce! read more

I'm not going to sit here and lie and tell you this food is good it's garbage at best. I could go on and on about the customer service and the food, but I'll try and keep it short the quality of the food is equivalent to microwaveable taquitos. The taquitos were unbelievably overcooked it was physically unbearable to eat, it took me a solid 45 seconds to finish chewing the food. Don't get me going about there supposedly "Refried beans" the beans tasted like hot dog water with cheese on it and had the texture of cat food. The customer service was equally as bad with the guy at the front on his phone he also never washed his hands picking his nose and giving us our food. I wouldn't recommend Matta's to my worst enemy. read more

Food was ok I thought maybe it was like the old Marta's in Mesa. Not quite. The staff was friendly. It just needs more decorations inside the restaurant. read more

Mattas has been through various stages in its long life. Beginning with the original location on Main Street just down the street from the temple, to a location up in Pinetop, to the location that recently closed on Higley to this newest location on Baseline and Crismon in east Mesa. Most of the time the food is good, sometimes not so good, but today the food was excellent! So so good, bringing back 30 years of memories of countless family dinners and date nights. Today, I wanted to keep it simple and order my litmus test, soft ground beef tacos and a cheese crisp. We walked in to the modest place where you order at the counter to eat there or to go. There are three tables inside and 5 tables outside. We chose to sit outside with great views of the Superstition Mountains. They brought our piping hot food out and I could immediately tell that it was the same as always. The awesome tried and true ground beef served in the foil "to go" pans but tasting as amazing as always. The cheese crisp was crispy and cheesy. I was not disappointed. If you know Mattas, then you know! And you really should go and support this old institution at their new location. read more

The food was below par. The taco I had was extremely greasy and the stuffed Chile relleno had a strange flavor.

The food was really good- we had the matcha a enchilada and the green chili tacos. Both were excellent.

Great experience. I ordered a shreded beef enchilda platter & it was just spicy enough for my tastes. We choose this place because it has a full service dining room-nicely decorated with a Mexico Theme. It is perfect for entertaining your "Gringo out-of state guests" to provide a SW/Meixcan experience in dining The Margaritas are awesome too. And a very nice and capable/well-trained waitress took great care of us. She was very attentive-took great care of us. I definitely will be returning the next time I am craving Mexican food. read more

Oh my!!!! The food is absolutely amazing! Catering for a huge crowd of 250. Seriously the best food! Service was excellent. They helped carry to our vehicle and load. Huge success! Will use again & highly recommend. read more

The food is amazing. Always get extra salsa for later. You won't be disappointed! The sour cream has a delicious kick.

Finally found a restaurant that has very tasty beef Tacos! The mild salsa and chips are also really good. read more

I am 70 years old and have been going to Matta's since I was a kid. Back then, it was probably the premier Mexican food restaurant in Mesa and maybe the whole east valley area. Times have changed. Recipes have been tweaked. The whole restaurant business has changed by Covid, and not for the better. Nowadays, Matta's is just another strip-mall Mexican restaurant with decent food. We went there a few days ago, and I ordered a chimichanga, which is on the menu for $10.95. Unfortunately, what I was charged for was a burrito $8.50, and deep frying, $2.00, and green sauce on top, $1.95. Total $12.45. When I asked about it, the guy at the counter wanted to correct it, but couldn't and called the manager up. Manager looked at it and, instead of opening the register and handing me $1.50, turned and walked back to his office. After a few minutes, I got tired of waiting and left. I'll probably go back to eat there again, because my wife likes it, but the experience left a bad impression. read more

I grew up eating Mattas on Main St. It is more of a nostalgic flavor and over the years it has gotten worse and more expensive. I am appalled at the prices. I get that everything has increased, but they have increased more. The service is ok but not anything special, and there is zero ambiance. I think I am finally done. read more

We have been going to Matta's for years! It's very casual and the food is amazing. We are always greeted with a smile and great service.

My family has been going to this restaurant since they opened up over on main street. Miss that location and all the staff that I was so used to seeing there every Friday! Milana was always the server for us, who we loved very much and was very sweet and professional. The food there is absolutely amazing and their hot sauce and salsa is by far one of best! It's definitely one of my favorites!! I hope this establishment never goes away! read more

Wasn't real impressed. First of all, they wouldn't honor the price listed on the menu for a bean & cheese burrito. They made me pay the $7.50 cost which was for meat type burritos. He said there wasn't a choice on his register for the $5.00 burrito that said bean and cheese on the menu (pictured). He even went back and asked people in the back but said it was $7.50. I feel this is misleading. If the menu shows one price, it should be honored. I also got a cheese crisp which was less than desirable. I probably won't be back even though its close to home. read more
