    New local Tex-Mex restaurant in Allen. Service was very good as was the food. Very fairly priced and fresh. We will definitely be back.

    First time here and this was THE BEST Mexican Food we've ever had!! First the Ambience was amazing…read morean Best fajitas and the tortillas were not only huge but so good!! My wife had the chicken enchiladas and they were the best she said she ever had Our server Jonathan was fantastic and very attentive as were the Managers Gerald and Kevin By far THE BEST and will definitely be back This place is AWESOME

    I'll be honest,, it's pretty hard to impress me with Mexican food. I was raised in California,…read morewhere I had had neighbors, whose parents and grandparents made some of the best food I've ever had in my life. Living in Texas I've seen some good and I've seen some not so great so I never really get enthused because nothing ever really stands out. Lupe tortilla; right here in Allen, was a difference maker. When I walked in, I could smell the difference. We were greeted immediately, and the service was impeccable, our server was attentive and explained any questions we had on the menu and made suggestions, but was not too intrusive. I think right now is a great time to mention how delicious the salsa was, you get chips, salsa, and a little container of pinto beans with something in them that I can't explain other than magic. I was fearful that I might stuff myself to content before my meal was ordered. My friend has been here before and order the fajitas, I typically ordered enchiladas my first time at any Mexican restaurant just to gauge where they stand. We both had big gigantic margaritas as well, and they did not disappoint. The food was delicious, I couldn't stop staring at my friend fajitas either, which looked as though they could feed a family. The feel there is very relaxed and family oriented, so I was able to have a great seat and have a great conversation with a friend in a very relaxing clean location that had great service. I have to say as of today, this is my number one spot for Mexican food in Allen easily and can't wait to bring my family here.. go figure, today after Cinco de Mayo and I've changed my Allen traditions.

    Ok. These folks are super nice! The food is good…read more However, it's always a hot mess inside afternoons and weekends. Teenagers, are not as careful and it shows. 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

The restaurant setting was casual and fun and the owner and the guy at the register were super nice which enhanced our experience. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you!!

    I've been to Matt's a couple times now, it seems to be a favorite for locals. I describe it as…read moreMexican comfort food I suppose. It's a typical Mexican restaurant, the flavors are good, they have excellent salsa and their specialty queso with guacamole and sour cream mixed in with some meat is very good. Overall the food is good, it's not amazing. And their service is a little inconsistent, but not bad all around. It's a very nice atmosphere, good ambience for a family style Mexican restaurant. It is definitely a Tex-Mex style, not an authentic style type restaurant. If you're looking for a place for decent food and nice casual dining, this is a great place.

    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.

    A friend recommended this place and we decided to visit it, we love trying different places and we…read moreabsolutely loved the food, the atmosphere and the attentive care not just from our sever but everybody. The food as a Mexican was amazing especially when you know different regions from Mexico and you know each regions have their flavors and staples. It has been a pleasure for my palate to enjoy those flavor again. We always like asking about the background and origins of the restaurants we visit and we always note and comparare details. The flavors just to reiterate.... Awesome! Atmosphere and service totally outstanding, today was our second time and the person even apologized for us not getting the same booth, we were like what??? You remember that and us? Well we are sold and we found the new place for us to invite friend and have family celebrations! Maybe I can not give a Michelin Star but for sure a "Miguelin" star! Thank you all! Jeziel, Isri, Eli, Charlie , Rolando, we do not know all the names yet but we will acknowledge every one properly and please know that little things come a long way and make a difference!!!! Addendum- for some reason my original post did not post when intended but now that I can, still going there and love it still!!! We have had family gatherings, great moments to celebrate and even when lows, we still found this place an amazing place to be. In all honesty, we feel like they are family, almost like the show Cheers... "sometimes you want to go where every body knows your name". It has been for us a great balance of consistency all around, service, the food, the drinks, even if prices went up (given the economy right now), we know it will be great! Even during these times they have never tried to cut corners or even increase prices!! We love you guys and will continue supporting our local businesses!!

The coconut doesn't over power the drink and it's not too sweet. The pink color is perfectly pink just like a Malibu sunset. The food was amazing and the service was excellent.
