The atmosphere and service have a homey feel, which is perfectly fine by me. It feels comfortable, welcoming, and genuine. We are regulars here, and I'm not sure why I haven't written a review until now. We've been several times, and the food has been consistently delicious. The service is usually very good, and while the kitchen can sometimes be a little slow, the food is always presented well, especially for this price point. A couple of our favorite dishes are the Gabriel, with two chicken enchiladas, spinach, and sour cream sauce, and the Mario, which comes with three brisket tacos, Monterey Jack, and poblano peppers. For dessert, it is hard to beat the churros. The restaurant can be a little hard to find since it is tucked in the back corner of the lot behind Firestone, west of Kroger, but it is definitely worth looking for. If you enjoy good Tex-Mex from a local family-run spot, this place is absolutely worth trying.

One frustrating thing is that it comes out on a cast iron oval skillet, and if you don't move off quickly, it'll over cook. It gets 4 stars in my book because the service is always hit or miss.

For my dinner I tried the spicy chicken tacos which were ok. A large piece of chicken crusted in a buffalo type seasoning. In a puffy shell. I liked the shell and the chicken was white meat. The beans and rice that came with it were good. The beans were not refried like the other dinner we received. I also tried the nachos, flautas, and enchiladas. All were ok, but there should be a better sauce in the enchiladas. Overall an ok place.

They brought a large basket of perfectly crispy, warm chips with salsa and took my order. I got the #15 lunch special which is your choice of two enchiladas (I got sour cream chicken), rice and beans. The food was served quickly and at the perfect temperature. My enchiladas were bursting with chicken and the sour cream sauce was the perfect compliment. The rice was excellent as well. Even the iced tea is great, and featured a legit lemon slice. They have a full bar which I'll be trying on my next visit and two large TVs set where you can see one or both from any seat in the dining room. I told my server she's going to get sick of seeing me because I'll be here at least twice a week! Service was excellent by the way. My tea was even refilled without having to ask. It was a 10 star meal!

We entered and no one says anything, lady came in after us waiting, shoving us to see if there is a list for waiting... like girl were the only two people in line. We got sat and the workers are very friendly, no problem there. Chips were good and came out crisp. I ordered the two taco plate. Taco shell was very stale, was very sad. The ground beef wasn't that good, chicken taco was better (surprisingly). Rice and beans were decent. Overall, didn't hate it here, but also not that great. There was a lot of people here and a lot of people waiting to be seated as well.

The tables and floors are dirty with flakes of food. Just down right dirty. Ugh. Not sure when they ever wipe them down, if ever. Of all the tables on several visits I couldn't find a clean table to sit and eat. It's a taqueria? But, still offer table seating. I'm so confused. Not the usual spotless Mexican kitchen. The floors are dirty. Ugh. Crumbs all over the floor and it's sticky. I think most folks use Uber Eats. That's why they don't have a standard inside. Usually, kids, and I mean kids 16 and younger are running the counter and kitchen. The bottles are never wiped down. Caked on food on ketchup, green sauce, and red sauce bottles. Thus far I've not gotten sick. They don't speak English, but then I don't speak Spanish. So it's a wash! I'll probably go back. And pray every time I don't get sick. Thus far I've dodged the bullet! I'd like to support a small business. However, the prices are stupid crazy! Salsa and chips are $5.50. Refills are $1 each time for salsa. Pay up front too. Then they serve you. Don't expect refills either you have to pay first. ( I still leave a tip, but probably shouldn't). Food is always decent! Just know when eating in, it's not up to expectations as a consumer. Make your own judgments. Sticking to Uber eats may be your best bet! That way you don't see what really goes on inside this establishment. June-September 2024

It seems like an older couple is managing, or trying to run this location but they don't have a grasp on the business. There is no flow to the service and no strategy. When our server was on the floor (he hid in the back), he was rude and barely paid attention. He did not listen to what we ordered and was a but pushy. He never brought us our iced tea. We ordered queso and mushrooms and opted to have the steak added for $2. He charged us for a full side for $11. Got the carnitas tacos but they were dry. I'm guessing they were a day or two old and reheated. The only thing that was decent the chips but the beans were cold. Hard pass on this location. We'll stick with the Prosper location.

Comfortable booths. Wife had chicken fajitas. Generous portions came out sizzling hot. Very good taste. I had Brocheta de Camarones. Also came out good and hot. Tasty. Except the chef must have spilled some extra spice seasoning on one end, because one of the wrapped shrimp was hotter (spicier) than anything I've ever eaten. Same with the grilled onions at that end. That was at only one end of the skillet they came on. The rest were OK. Strange. If the whole plate was like that I would have sent it back, but it was just one small part. That's why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. Moderately priced.

We've driven past Matt's Rancho Martínez in Allen for the past five years and finally decided to…read moregive it a try today. Unfortunately, it ended up being a bit underwhelming for us. When we walked in, the restaurant was very loud. The tile floors and packed dining room made the acoustics pretty intense, so conversation at the table took some effort. It also took about five minutes for our waitress to initially greet us and take our drink order. That said, once she came by, she was extremely polite and attentive for the rest of our visit, which we appreciated. We ordered the half-pound fajitas, and those were definitely the highlight. They came out quickly, were well-cooked, and were more than enough for two people to share. Portion size was generous. One thing we noticed was the limited soft drink selection, though they do offer a large variety of alcoholic beverages. Overall, it was a decent experience, but nothing really wowed us on this visit. We're glad we finally tried it after all these years, but we're not sure it'll become a regular spot for us.

My group was about 40 people so we sat in the banquet room and enjoyed their excellent lineup of Happy Hour specials. I had the nachos which were loaded with ground beef, beans, cheese, guacamole, jalapeños and sour cream for $6 and bottled Budweisers for $3 until 7pm. Others got the taquitos, the loaded queso and all looked tasty. There was plenty of complementary chips and salsa for everyone and food and drinks were served quickly and at the proper temperature. The banquet room is quite large and features a HUGE TV, I'm guessing a 100 inch! Perfect to host a Super Bowl, National Championship or any other kind of watching party. Apparently the VFW meets there every Wednesday night.
