About Matt's El Rancho Austin
An Austin Favorite Since 1952, Matt’s El Rancho is proud of their reputation for serving the finest Mexican Food & Margaritas in the world. Offering daily lunch specials & a menu that includes steak and seafood, Matt’s is "Always Good"!

Matt's El Rancho #1 opened in 1952 at 302 E. 1st. The original menu consisted only of blue plate specials such as chicken fried steak. But the occasional enchilada plate daily special drew demands for more Tex-Mex.

After 34 years, El Rancho #1 and #2 had become so popular that they simply didn't have space for all those hungry customers. That's when Matt and Janie Martinez found big a tree-shaded lot on South Lamar, and decided to make it the spot for a new Matt's El Rancho. The beautiful new building that was built in 1986 features three dining rooms, a patio, a large bar area, and even a tortilleria. Even though the first two El Ranchos were closed when the new restaurant opened, the

family still held on to their decades-long commitment to fresh and delicious food.

As was the case when Matt Martinez opened his first restaurant in 1952, the El Rancho kitchen still uses only the highest quality ingredients. Every dish is made from scratch. Even the salsas, tortillas, and pralines are made fresh every single day. Below you'll find highlights of Matt's El Rancho's delicious menu.
