Matt's Rancho Martinez

Ryan is the best waiter I have ever had at Matt's; he is amazing at his job, smiles & takes care of his customers/tables. I have been a Matt's "regular" for years. Wasn't impressed w/ Super Duper 100 watt BRIGHT lightbulbs over the bar....bar lacks ambiance it once had; needs to be toned down a bit, made a bit more cozy for for "chilling out" & having a drink... other employees lack personality and smiles. Food was excellent.

YUM!!! Matt's Ranchero is some of the best food in the world. I have LOVED it since my first time when it was a few blocks north in Lakewood. Everyone who works here is friendly,kind,and understanding of customers requests and special diets. I have never had a bad experience at Matt's and the tortilla soup will heal anything.

Went here upon the recommendation of a friend. The service was adequate and the portions were soooo generous. The chips and salsa are amazing and I had grilled zucchini with chicken. Was very tasty but the rice was a bit dry. Otherwise, the outside dining was lovely withisters and the skinny margarita was delicious! Definitely worth a try!

One of my favorite places continues to "wow" me with its outstanding service and delicious Tex-mex. I'm talking about Matt's Rancho Martinez on Skillman in the Lakewood district. I came early, around 5:30 pm, and got seated straight away. If you are planning on eating here on a Saturday night, it's a good idea to call ahead for a reservation. However, I have never waited longer than about ten minutes for a table at Matt's, and that includes peak hours. For my meal this trip, I decided on the Beef and Guacamole Enchiladas with sour cream. Spanish rice and refried beans are also included with this meal. I inquired of my waiter if Matt's made their own tostadas because they taste so fresh. He informed me that indeed they do make them on-site. In fact, the tostadas at Matt's are never older than two hours old. That's freshness you can taste and just part of the reason I keep coming back to Matt's Rancho Martinez. My waiter prepared for me a free take-home bag of tostadas since I was obviously a fan of them. My food came out quickly and my chip bowl never went empty. One of these evenings when it gets a little cooler I'm going to try eating out on the patio and take in the street ambience of Skillman. If you like margaritas, Matt's has one of the best in town. Family owned and operated for over 70 years, Matt's Rancho Martinez should be on your radar if you like quality Mexican food and great service. Also, check out the Grilled Fish Tacos-delicious!

1st time here. Was spur of the moment. I had fried catfish… was delish! Recommend! Raspberry margarita - uh yum! No pic because I drank it all! Wish they were open later. Was a relaxing place and music playing would play a mixture of country, oldies & spanish. Very nice atmosphere! I’ll be back, don’t know when but hopefully soon!
