About the Business
Specialties
A local staple for scratch-made Tex-Mex since 1952, Matt's El Rancho has served generations of Austin locals and visitors for over 60 years. A family business through and through, Matt and his family have a long legacy of delicious food and warm, traditional service that's hard to come by these days. Next time you find yourself on South Lamar, we hope you'll stop by to try some of our famous fajitas or Bob's legendary queso! We'll see y'all then.
History
Established in 1952.
Matt's El Rancho opened in 1952 on Cesar Chavez downtown. It quickly grew from a small restaurant downtown to a Tex-Mex destination on South Lamar. Known for its famous Bob's Queso, named after Bob Armstrong, Matt's has also become famous for its fajita plates, margaritas, and more. With over 60 years serving Austin, we look forward to many more!
