"If queso is the Tex-Mex fuel that run Austin, then Matt’s El Rancho is an Austin essential thanks to its Bob Armstrong dip, a mix of queso, guacamole, and taco meat. The restaurant opened in 1952 and quickly became a go-to Tex-Mex destination for politicians, sports writers, and other movers and shakers. Let mom and dad feel like a local: advise them to order it by asking for “a small Bob” or “a large Bob.”" - Elizabeth Leader Smith
