Description

**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. While some patrons praise the flavorful dishes and exceptional service, others express dissatisfaction with food preparation and service inconsistencies. Guests have noted issues with spiciness levels, burnt dishes, and inattentive staff, leading to less-than-satisfactory experiences. Despite these concerns, many commend the inviting atmosphere, friendly staff, and reasonable pricing. Overall, El Matate remains a popular choice, particularly for those appreciative of a flavor-packed dining experience, though potential visitors may want to approach with tempered expectations.

I'm from a little border town in Arizona and I love Mexican food. This little restaurant does a bang-up business and they're busy most of the time. Great food and great takeout. Really good family dining and really good service That's what it takes to keep us happy Thank you so much El Matate.. there is one in Dunlap and there is one in Soddy-Daisy, family owned. A+ Service: Takeaway

3 stars for service we had to ask 3 times for water then they only brought it to my husband. And never came back to check on how the food was. We left with only eating about 1/8 of the food we ordered -it was not good at all- the only thing that was palatable was the chicken in the burrito and his shrimp (6). We won't be going back nor taking company here. Service: Dine in
