Fun Place to hang out and drink  4 Star Rating - Very good

I love to meet my friends here after work! The waiters are super nice and the margaritas which are priced responable (won't break your bank!) pack a punch. The setting is casual and patio is perfect at night to sit and gossip with your friends!

Greasy Regular Tex Mex  2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

There are much better mexican food restaurants close by. The food is regular tex-mex fare with a greasy twist. Chips are good; hot sauce unremarkable.

Great Mexican Food  4 Star Rating - Very good

This is another great restaurant run by Matt Martinez. The food is traditional tex mex, and the Smoked Bob appetizer is great. Its queso with chopped,smoked brisket mixed in. Great margaritas. It is modestly prices, but the portions are huge. Dinner is $15 per plate before tip and drinks. It has a very fun atmosphere.

Bland + overcooked + rubbery meat + sloppy plates = DISAPPOINTED CUSTOMER 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I was HIGHLY disappointed in this restaurant's food. I'm very familiar with this kind of food, but this place let me down. Matitos had been recommended to me by numerous people, but when we went and I ordered the light fajitas (that come with broccoli and cauliflower instead of onions and green peppers) the fajita steak was overcooked and the whole meal was bland. The fajita meat and broccoli tasted more like Chinese food beef and broccoli than anything Tex-Mex. The meat was rubbery and borderline inedible. I came into the restaurant very hungry, but the food was so bad that I couldn't even eat 1/3 of my meal. The most "seasoning" that was on my plate was spicy jalapeno in my pico de gallo (I like spicy food, but that's all there was to the meal!). My boyfriend got tacos, which were under-seasoned and bland as well. His refried beans tasted worse than "El Paso" canned beans. He remarked, "This tastes like cafeteria food" which was right on the money. However, the service was very good, and our waiter was nice and helpful. The margaritas are also very good. When I told the waiter about my disappointment with my meal when he asked how everything was, he took it off of the check when I didn't even ask him to, which I thought was appropriate. Overall, I would commend this restaurant on its service and lively atmosphere, but if you want a good meal, you're better off going somewhere else.

Pros: Good service
Cons: NASTY food

Best Brunch 5 Star Rating - World class

I had a very small wedding and had the reception during brunch and just rented out the patio. This was the most amazing brunch I could of ever imagined and all my guests were very happy and impressed. This is hands down the best place to go for brunch in Dallas while still being a pretty un-pretentious. My suggestion is to go when they open to get better and faster service.

Pros: Great food and atmosphere,
Cons: Don't expect anything to happen fast, tons of people

The most AMAZING Brunch I have ever been to! EVER! 5 Star Rating - World class

This is a must go! First I have to say that this is the freshest, most flavorful brunch I have ever been to. I generally do not go to buffets, so take this endorsement to heart. I am a foodie!!!! I started with Two Chicken Jalapeno and Two Pork Tamales with Tomatillo and Chile Con Carne sauces. I then moved to a combo of BEEF and CHICKEN FAJITAS with Grilled with onions and sweet peppers, they were so moist and tender it was a mouth watering bite! Then I went a little crazy.They had enchiladas, that were perfectly seasoned, huge platters of fruit and cheeses , a OMLETT BAR with a omelet chef cooking them to order, the taquitos were constantly being filled because they were so crispy and tasty they were flying off the banquet table, the food went on and on.. as I sat in this unique and festive atmosphere of lush patios and fountains in a ranch-like setting it contributed to the enjoyment I had people watching as I feasted while the very attentive wait staff kept my glasses of champagne and tea full as I waited for my brunch to settle for the BEST part. THE CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!!!! YES A CHOCOLATE fountain that a gal dips and drenches big fresh strawberries, sweet pineapple and other delectable fruits of the season. Finished off with a steaming cup of coffee, I now know why they have received so many awards, from so many people and have opened another banquet facility room across the parking lot to accommodate the many many wedding parties and family or company functions and celebrations they host throughout the year! My hat off to you and TEN stars if they had that many on this page, they would all be yours!

Pros: The VERY best Brunch in the Metroplex!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: none! Not one bad thing... really!

Chile relleno 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

When I was there last week, the beef chile relleno had a nice crispy crust -- at least around the edges. When this dish is good here, it is really good

The Best Mexican food in Dallas. 5 Star Rating - World class

This is some good eating. The quality of the food is superb and the Margaritas are the best. Menu selection is large and everything Ive had has been excellent. They tend to get busy in the evenings and you may have to wait in line, but itll be worth it.
