They pretty much just sell tacos. This one is sit down and gringo friendly. This is cleaner than 90% of the Tex Mex joints in town.

I'd take my switchblade.

Not at this one, but there are some where I'd watch my back.

I heard that MiCo is wanting that spot. Not a big fan of Matt's but I'd rather see them stay there than have MiCo take it over.

I recommend the Parrillada Tizoncito which is basically one of each taco and a quesadilla. Goes down well with a Michelada.

I don't live far from there, I'll have to stop in. It does look unusually sanitary.

100% agree. Wonderful place!

Have to check them out next time I take the familia over to the Fort Worth museum district.
