"Matt’s El Rancho is enormous, with multiple dining rooms, a sprawling patio with a fountain, and seating for 500 people. And even then, there’s almost always a wait for a table. It’s endearingly kitschy in the way that non-Texans think of Texas (think: clay-tiled floors and old wooden rafters) and your guests will probably be talking about the potent margaritas and the legendary Bob Armstrong dip—a mashup of queso, taco meat, and guacamole—for the rest of their trip. " - nicolai mccrary, chelsea bucklew, katherine lewin
