Legendary Texas restaurateur Matt Martinez packs in the locals -- singles, as well as families -- at his always-noisy, always-crowded Lakewood restaurant. The kitchen isn't particularly creative, but it does cover all the bases, and it does several things well. The chile relleno, a poblano pepper stuffed with cheese and deep-fried, is reliable and the cheese queso is legendary. The layered Bob Armstrong dip (spiced beef, queso and guacamole) is practically a meal in itself. Those watching their fat intake will appreciate the restaurant's selection of fajitas grilled in canola oil or grilled without oil. Parking can be a problem, especially on weekends when there's usually a line out the door. It typically goes fast and it makes for some fun people watching. If you don't want to wait, avoid prime-time dining and go early or late. -- Kathryn Jones

Convenient in Lakewood
Carl6866 - 07/10/2008
I've been coming here for years and the food each time I come is top notch. For you chicken fried steak lovers.... try their "TAMPICO" style.. has a verde sauce and covered in cheese... TO DIE FOR! And their Margaritas are pretty potent too!... They have a nice outside dining area as well, thats pretty nice at night as they have white "christmas" lights, lighting the area... It good... just try it!

Lei510 - 06/25/2008Always excited to go eat at Matt's. Yum!!
Horrible!
laurataylor07 - 10/10/2004You could not pay me to go back & be subjected to such rude service by this disgruntled server in his 40's. A taco salad should not be slathered with refried beans either. It was disgusting. The queso tasted like microwaved Velveeta.
Standout Tex-Mex in a neiborhood of Tex-Mex legends
exiled0904 - 09/30/2004Matt's is a great place for Tex-Mex Don't expect fancy decor or "atmosphere" at Rancho Martinez. Don't go looking for exotic "Novelle Mexican Cusine" either. Matt's simply has THE best good old fashioned Tex-Mex in a down home setting. It's not fancy but it is the best.
Plumhappy111's Review
plumhappy111 - 09/30/2003I have eaten at Matt's several times and loved it. I have also eaten a no place. Not only do they have good food but good mixed drinks that I have never heard of before. I am also a close friend of Matt's two younger sons! They know how to cook too.

Ted Skinner's Review
tedskinner - 03/12/1999Great food, interesting hot sauce. Cool atmosphere and very speedy service. Parking was a pain, but we got a table for 10 on a Friday night at 7:00 in about 15 minutes. If you can find it, go there!!!

sew's Review
sew - 02/28/1999Wonderful cheese & onion enchiladas & catfish tampicano. However I haven't been there in several years because I don't have the time to wait in those long lines.
