    Matt's House Margarita is splendid. The bar is welcoming and airy on a warm day, with large service windows open to the patio.

    Start with the Bob Armstrong Dip and follow that with the Mexican Pizza or Fajitas. Service was great and food was excellent.

    This family-owned restaurant, the progeny of the venerable Matt's Famous El Rancho in Austin, is a vast indoor and outdoor space. Read more

    The food was good, if a bit on the high side. The margaritas were great! However, it was so loud that we could hardly hear ourselves speak. The waiter even had difficulty hearing our order.

    The traditional tortilla soup at this location is loaded with chicken, avocado, and tortilla strips. Even the small will fill up most people for lunch.

    It's just not as cool now that the Bob Armstrong is on the menu. It's like finding out there isn't a Santa. That's right kids THERE IS NO SANTA DEAL WITH IT.

    Don't get too attached ... it's closing soon. Jerks.BUT in the meantime, try the large Smoked Bob and skip your meal.And don't miss the ridiculously strong margaritas.

    The bob Armstrong queso alone is worth the trip. Avoid bad service (and more expensive prices) by coming for lunch M-f 11-3pm. Margaritas are great too!

    Matt's used to be the pride of Dallas when Matt was alive and when it was by the Lakewood Theater, now it's an embarassment. Save yourself, avoid it.

    If you get tortilla soup to go, make sure they pack your avocado. This is the second time in a row. Ugh

    Once Matts is gone, try the Taco Joints Disaster dip. Just as good.

    The queso is exceptional. Service slow but very professional. Seating inside is very noisy due to high ceilings.

    I would drive for hours to eat a Bob Armstrong. It's that good. The sour cream enchiladas aren't on the menu, but they're tasty.
