Tex-Mex restaurant · South Lamar

"Sixty-six years of Tex-Mex can’t be wrong. The self-dubbed famous South Lamar restaurant is certainly popular, especially for its fajitas, chiles relleno, and margaritas. Matt’s is also the birthplace of the iconic Bob Armstrong dip, created for and named after the former Texas Land Commissioner, who was a longtime customer (RIP). Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell
