Mattito's

Nestled on Forest Lane just off the LBJ Freeway, Mattito's Tex‑Mex is North Dallas' go‑to spot for bold Mexican flavors and a relaxed, festive atmosphere. Since opening in 1993, the restaurant has become a neighborhood staple, drawing office crowds, families, and Sunday brunch regulars alike. The interior blends rustic wood tables with colorful Mexican artwork, while an outdoor patio offers shaded seating and large‑screen TVs for sports fans. Signature items include the off‑menu Bob Armstrong Dip—a creamy, cheese‑laden starter beloved by longtime patrons—alongside sizzling chicken nachos, hand‑crafted tacos, fajita platters, and a surprisingly popular grilled salmon with citrus glaze. Fresh guacamole, house‑made salsa, and a rotating selection of frozen margaritas keep the flavor profile lively. Mattito's opens daily at 11 am, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner until 10 pm, with a moderate $$ price range that appeals to both casual diners and larger parties. Happy hour runs from 3 pm to 6 pm, featuring discounted drinks and appetizers. The venue also accommodates private events, catering orders, and large groups of up to 20 guests. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch, a weekend brunch, or a lively dinner with friends, Mattito's promises generous portions, friendly service, and a true taste of Texas‑style Mexican cuisine.
