Matt's Rancho Martinez

Review. I ate at Matt's last night for the second time and have been sadly disappointed both times. I ordered the 'special plate', two crispy tacos, beef enchilada, rice & beans. The menu advertises that the tacos come with lettuce, tomatos and mixed cheeses. Well when my plate arrived, I noticed that the tacos did not have cheese on them so I asked my server for cheese. He looked at me like I was crazy but after about 10 minutes he finally remembered to bring me a side of cheese. It was the cheese that comes out of a bag...and not real, actual cheese. The enchilada was so so but the rice and beans were a tad too salty. It was certainly nothing like mama makes. I will not be going back.…

very disappointed. We live in Lakewood, so had heard about this restaurant as a local favorite, however we were sorely disappointed when we dined there. After waiting over 30 min for a table, we were seated upstairs (where there is no atmosphere). The chips were greasy and the food was overall very disappointing. Will not return.…

Used to be good. Anyone who would call Matt a scam artist clearly doesn't know their history. He was on various cooking shows (pre-food network) and was a published author. He was a local celebrity and his family has been in the business for many years. Me and my family had the pleasure of meeting him and his wife years ago. And my family have been eating at Matt's before it's current location. All I can say is that the place declined when it's creator and owner declined and let loose control.

The food was excellent in the past and I can honestly say it isn't what it used to be, my family and I have been saying that for years. Still favorable to hack Dallas tex mex places that will go unnamed. And still a great spot for Lakewood. Hopefully someone will take control and restore Matt's food to its former glory.…
