**Dining Experience at El Matate: A Mixed Bag**

El Matate, a family-owned restaurant, offers a diverse Tex-Mex menu that occasionally shines but has garnered mixed reviews.

The cashier at this establishment is VERY rude. They were being extremely rude about a misunderstanding on THEIR END, and people that were behind us in line told us when we left the cashier at this place was cussing at us. Not professional AT ALL. Management should do better with teaching their young employees about how to be more professional. Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
