A longstanding location, in a rustic but festive Tex-Mex decor theme. Located next to Medical City Dallas Children's Hospital along Forest Lane, west of Central Xpwy 75.
Decent amount of free parking on site, a picturesque shaded patio, small bar that pours big, big, drinks (bring designated driver). Happy Hour on Tuedsays is All Day!
The menu offers Breakfast All Day, Salads, Fajitas, even a Cheeseburger if your mood says Moo!
Lunch menu specials are great deal, get Fajitas Salad Bowl with small $1.50 upgrade, and you can skip dinner that day. Mmmm!
Seating? well, rustic does not have to be stoic. Please invest in new, better booths, and those little square wooden seats at the bar? nah, pass!
Viking-sized diners, avoid the 3 "booths" near the main entrance. The twin booths have a partition that wobbles!
Every time the diner in the opposite booth leaned back, it pushed me forward in my booth! Ay, yai-yai!
Besides the massive Fajitas Salad Bowl, we had traditional Chicken Enchiladas con Mole (mole sauce poured over the enchiladas). These came with Cilantro Lime Rice, and I subbed Borracho (pinto) beans for the black beans.
Big enchiladas, packed with plenty of warm, moist, shredded chicken breast. Oddly, the chicken meat had no savor, no spice at all. The mole sauce must have been Doña María commercial brand, also a bit bland.
Since I was tour driver today, no drinky drinky, so could not take the edge off this slightly subpar Mattito's visit.
Staff was very warm & energetic, and checked on our table multiple times.
