First time here. We were in town for work and just saw the signage on the building so we decided to eat here. What amazing food. The drinks are great! Prices seemed a little high but over we were very happy.

I always want to make another review when I visit again if things improve and since I can’t make a review for the Alamo location I’ll do It here. The Alamo location made up for last time and the staff, food and experience was great.

Matteos has really good Mexican food. The food is fresh, it is healthy, and it tastes homemade. They serve it in paper containers instead of plastic. Their Frescas are delicious, made with real fruit, and some with veggies.

Incredibly delicious. They have the best drinks anyone could want. The Agua frescas are just 10/10. We will be back every time we are in the area. It was clean and the girls were very polite, friendly and hard working. 10/10 for their customer service.

I was told about the Tacos hear by a buddy and they were quite good. The beans and rice to complete the plate were serviceable but not bad. It's true a meal that you can eat over two sittings. …
