Mateo's Family Restaurant

Mateo's Family Restaurant is a beloved family‑run Mexican eatery tucked into the heart of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, on the bustling Anthony Highway. The moment you step inside, the vibrant colors of traditional Mexican tiles, hand‑painted murals, and warm wooden tables create an inviting atmosphere that feels both festive and homely. Chef Mateo, the owner‑chef, prepares each dish with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, from sizzling fajitas and tender carne asada to the house‑made guacamole that arrives tableside with a side of crunchy tortilla chips. Signature items include the “Waynesboro Burrito Supreme,” packed with seasoned beef, black beans, rice, cheese, and a drizzle of chipotle crema, and the “Family Enchilada Trio,” a platter of three enchiladas—green, red, and cheese—served with a side of Mexican street‑style corn.
