About

Matt's El Rancho sets itself apart from the endless Tex-Mex spots around Austin with scratch-made cooking and famously not-too-sweet margaritas. The vibe is convivial and family-friendly, drawing a suburban crowd that keeps things lively. Open for lunch and dinner most days, with extended hours on weekends. If you're craving classic Tex-Mex standards in a no-fuss atmosphere, this is your spot.

Head there on a Friday or Saturday when they're open until 11pm, giving you more time to sip those margaritas and soak up the energy. For a different vibe, try Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse another time.

From the community

“It's Busy For a Reason”

In a city full of Tex-Mex places, Matt's is a standout. The food is typically solid for the genre, the margaritas are excellent without being overly sweet, and the vibe is friendly. Just expect a lot of suburban families.
