Order on Uber eats. Excellent food. Chicken cooked to perfection and the macaroni salad superb

Food was just as I expected to be, mofongo with the garlic sauce had immense flavor, ribs fell of the bone, the rice and carne frita combo was bomb! Staff was super friendly and service was very fast! I didn't stay to eat there and I got in a little late but overall experience was amazing! read more

This place is so good! Some of my real estate friends ordered food from here for a netting and I went back 2 days later for lunch and dinner lol it was so good. I love that they have so many items and lunch and dinner specials to choose from. I ordered the pernil with yellow rice and beans and plantains the first time , the half chicken with white rice and black beans with yuca for lunch and then another order of carne quisada with yellow rice , beans and plaintains for me and my daughter. I wish I lived closer as I would visit a lot more but it's definitely going to be a bi weekly or monthly dinner for my family. I even took some home for my hubby and he devoured it lol. Service was great each time and I loved the ambiance, music playing and very clean. I will definitely be back soon !!! read more

I had the bbq chicken, morcilla, yellow rice and beans, sweet potatoes, papa rellena, and an empanada. Pretty good spot, a little pricey but the food was good for sure. Empanadas were very excellent, just a bit skimpy on the meat. Rice was really really good, no complaints there. Chicken was good and everything else was good as well but nothing to brag about. read more

Food is delicious! I always get the roasted chicken with macaroni salad and sweet plantains. Soo flavorful! The location looks pretty nice and I love the space. Service has never disappointed! Love it read more

I love coming here because even though they play music and have a TV, we cans still chat with one another. The food is great!

I enjoyed the easy service here. It's a cafeteria style Puerto Rican influenced restaurant. They have different specials and you just pick what you want. I opted for half chicken with yellow rice and a macaroni salad. It was very tasty and way generous on portions. Definitely can split with 2-3 people. Prices were reasonable. Will return. read more

Stopped here because I was craving tostones. They were good for the most part. One of them had a hard center. I saw them pull them from the freezer before frying them, so I don't know if they were bought from a supplier, or made there and frozen for later. Either way they were decent, but I wouldn't necessarily rush back here for more. read more

Matt's Latin BBQ - $4.50 tostones. One of them had a hard center. But otherwise decent. - Barbeque Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The food was pretty decent! I got it in takeout. I the rotisserie chicken was a bit saltier than I would like but the flavor was definitely seasoned well. The meat was also very tender! The beans and rice were also pretty decent! I enjoyed the tostones a bit more than the batatas, but it's more because I enjoy the texture a tostone has more. Overall, it's pretty decent and I would give everything an average of 3.5 (if I could give a half star) read more

It's cafeteria style, so don't be disappointed if you were looking for something else. The chicken is super tender and juicy, the guisado was good but not the best I have ever had. I also went veggies, and I was surprised by the amount of flavor they had. But the star of the show was the beans and rice. I would go once a week for those alone. The service was quick and friendly. I can't complain. read more

This was not a hit!! Staff looks and acts miserable! Quit if you don't like to serve! WRONG INDUSTRY! The place is supposedly known for their rotisserie chicken. It needed flavor! Super dry and lukewarm at best. Trifongo- very good, a little dry Mofongo- Good Rice and beans- excellent- old school Ribs- horrible and dry. Chicharron de pollo- good flavor but barely hot Overall the experience was underwhelming! read more

The food here is terrible ... The rice taste burnt the yucca taste like it has 100 pounds of garlic in it and the chicken is super dry ... On top of it all it cost me 20$!! For Spanish food that's ridiculous ..It's a shame because the lady that served me was really nice, but I will not be eating here again. read more

Matt's Latin BBQ - Awful - Barbeque Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Gross. This place used to be good and we hadn't been in a while so we decided to try it again. Ordered pork, arroz con gandules, and macaroni salad. The only edible item was the macaroni salad. The pork was absolutely disgusting. It was chunks of fat and super hard pork that I couldn't even cut through. They earned these horrible reviews. Do not go here. I'm so grossed out. read more

We don't have any good Puerto Rican food in Clermont. So we made the trip to East Orlando and took a friend's recommendation. Idk how this place only had 3 stars on Yelp. Our food was great, my boyfriend was in search for Puerto Rican steak and he found it. I love hot bars so you can see the food because I thought I was gonna go for the steak too till I saw the beef stew. I was sold, I tried their mac salad and loved it too! So I highly recommend it. The place was larger than I was expecting as well. I'm not a mofongo fan but there is a sign up that says "mofongo experts" and best Puerto Rican food since 2005. Let's just say I wish I had known about this place since 2005! I'd be a regular. It was worth the drive and I'll be back. read more

Most of the protein we had were over cooked and not really pleasant. Thought this would be a chance to try something that we have not had before, Puerto Rican. I would definitely try Puerto Rican food again, but probably not from Matt's. I would definitely get the BBQ Ribs and Chicken and skip the rest. We ordered a couple of combo meals to take back to our hotel. I will breakdown each protein. BBQ Chicken - whole chicken leg, really moist and flavorful. The BBQ sauce provided a sweet glaze on the skin. BBQ Ribs (Costillas) - sweet smoky sauce. Ribs are tender and juicy. Really good. The best thing ordered tonight. Fried Chicharron Frito (Deep Fried Port Belly) - the skin is too hard to bite down on, too bad. That is usually the best part, but this time its tooth breaker. The underlying meat is pretty good, its moist. THe skin blocked all the fire allowing the meat to become moist... at least that is what I hoped. Fried Pork (Carne Frita) - way too dry... over cooked... did not even try to finish. Now the side dishes: Mofungo - sweetened fried mashed plantains. Great warm and sweet dish that would have went well with more savory dishes. Mixed Veggies - over cooked steamed veggies (carrots, cauliflower & broccoli) Rice - both white and yellow were prepared properly. read more

I arrived on a Friday evening and there was only a couple in front of me, but I couldn't understand why it was taking so long for the multiple (at least 4!!) staff members trying to get their order since they were speaking in Spanish. Slowly there were more customers coming in waiting behind me, and finally one of the 4 staff members stopped standing there and finally asked me to take my order. I had 1/4 rotisserie chicken with 2 sides, which I chose yellow rice and mixed vegetables. The yellow rice was a bit salty for my taste, while the mixed vegetables were over cooked. The chicken was ok. I also ordered a chicken noodles soup, which was super oily and was not appealing at all. I think the food quality needs to be improved while the staff, who were all very nice and friendly, need to be better trained for better efficiency in helping customers. read more

(9/5/2023) We got an delivery order to our workplace during the workweek. My boricua co-worker was very interested in trying this place out and she was looking forward to the campesino-style food. I'm a persistent over-orderer since I want to try all the things. I got a quarter roasted chicken, it was initially moist, seasoned on the salty side. I basically did dunk everything in garlic oil, as I do love the garlic oil. I enjoyed the boiled yucca, with garlic oil. The mofongo was super dense and somewhat bland and very starchy. It may just be that I do not really like mofongo. I've been trying it over and over again just to check if it's me (and I think it's me, also, I am not boricua). Overall, it was an OK meal. read more

*** Don't pay attention to the STAR RATING. This place has authentic PUERTO RICAN food and FLAVOR!! I was craving Chipotle next door. I said well, why not give this place a try since it's a local, small business. I paid for a water, maduros, yellow rice and pork $15. DON'T let the price deceive you. The flavor was on point to PUERTO RICAN flavor. The sit in area good for about 50 people more or less. -High chairs for babies available -PARKING easy. -Fountain Drinks -Menu Variety GREAT! -Flavor 5Star -Staff FRIENDLY -Bathroom (did not see) -Food hot -Clean area Well worth the try. read more

Ordered food through uber eats and was surprised on the reviews. Getting quality puerto rican food living downtown is tough. The chicken, and chicharron were definitely some of the best ive had in the area. Will definitely be adding this to my rotation. read more

Food was ok, nothing special, chicken def not even close to Martins bbq, but just bland overall, like they're hiring people that are just pushing out tasteless food and don't care about seasoning or quality. Gave it an extra star after business reply, seems they do care, I may have had a one off order that day. I will return and try again. read more

Decided to try something a little different while in the area. Most restaurants were chains near the hotels. It was empty (no customers) when we arrived which right at 4pm. We only had 2 in our party and we both ordered a combo (meat choice, 2 sides and drink). So filling and so good. It was basically an early dinner because we were so full that I won't eat anything until breakfast tomorrow. We had a coupon for 15% off so we're able to eat for $16 total. Combo 1: Ribs, Potato Salad, Rice & Red Beans Combo 2: BBQ Pork, Potato Salad, Fried Sweet Plantains read more

Excellent customer service, just not the flavor I was looking for. I got the pork intestine with rice and beans. It just didn't taste fresh.

A solid four stars for some great Latin food! After a long Monday, who wants to cook? Thankfully Uber Eats is to the rescue! I was craving Latin food so my boyfriend chose this place. I ordered the half rotisserie chicken with a side of yellow beans and rice and tostones (the kind made from breadfruit; not sure what it is called.) my boyfriend ordered the skirt steak with a side of yellow beans and rice and mashed potatoes. Each entree comes with two sides and there are a lot of choices. I also ordered a small chicken soup because soup is always awesome! Our food arrived and the first thing I noticed was that the portions are huge! My chicken had tons of meat and there were two large tostones and a heaping pile of yummy beans and rice. I dug into the soup first. It was delicious. There were long noodles, chicken on the bone (a little awkward but tasty, potatoes, and yam pieces. The broth had a great flavor. I finished that and moved on to my entree. I could only finish about half (yay leftovers!) because as I said the portions were huge. The rice was amazing and had some huge chunks of flavorful pork. The tostones were crispy and had a nice delicate taste. The chicken was a little on the salty side but it was very juicy and came right off the bone. Of course I had to steal a bite of the boyfriend's mashed potatoes (creamy and yummy) and a bite of steak (flavorful and well cooked.) I will absolutely order from here again. I can't speak for the customer service since it was takeout but the food is great and I am fine ordering it to go! read more

I might give them another try in all fairness. My place of business does a thing called Lunch in a Crunch and Matt's was featured for this Friday. I got the churrasco steak, red beans and rice and some tostones. Truthfully, I was a little dissapointed. The best thing in there was the red beans and yellow rice. The churrasco was chewy and tough, hardly any chimchurri marinate and nothing on the side. The tostones were oily, tough and flavorless, and again plain, no sauce offered of any kind. Maybe is was because it was a group order but frankly it sucked. read more

Came back again. Spotlessly clean. Average portion sizes. But, you know, I keep coming back. This place is addictive. The pork remains my favorite dish. For dessert, I did the Flan. it's bought and sealed from an outside vendor, as if it were meant to be sold off a catering truck. the portion is small, but it's, well, allright. it's hard to mess up Flan.... read more

La comida no esta tan mala para el precio, pero cuidado cuando visiten. Las muchachas parece que tenien algo encontra de los hombres que vienen a comer, y te confunden con las comidas, pero tratan a las mujeres specialmente, que esta bien, pero yo no vuelvo a correr las 2 horas que me tocan para traer a mi abuela aqui otra vez. Espcialmente si van a tener esa clase de actitud. Y van a faltar le el respeto a la gente. Edito: La muchacha tenia in poco de actitud, y en em caso de la confusion de comida, si le dice arroz amarillo a una persona, la otra persona va a asumir que es arroz amarillo, y pero que no cambie de llamada el arroz amarillo a arroz con gandules, cuando lo llamo de una manera la primera vez, la muchacha que nos atendio tambie estaba enojada, puede a ver sido su caracter, pero de mi punto se parecio enojada, y como si mo queria a ver trabajado, y como una persona en el espectro, eso causaria sentirme mal, y no querer comer, la unica rason porque pude es porque tuve acompañante, si no, me hubiera hido del lugar. read more

Matt's catered my charcuterie boards for the cocktail of my wedding. We were so very happy with the results. The catering coordinator was so easy to work with, they were very professional and were exceptionally efficient with setting up. The boards were beautiful and I can't believe how reasonably priced! We also rented glassware from them and I would highly recommend renting table setting stuff from them. They made it so easy with drop off and pickup I didn't have to do anything! 10/10 would hire again! read more

This place was very disappointing I order the 1/2 chicken with mixed vegetables and green salad. The order came in wrong no green salad to much of what it looks like carrots and cauliflower like dry and yellow the chicken was dry and bland waste of time and money I don't recommend this place. I called the restaurant and I was told that they didn't have green salad so they put extra mix veggies without calling me first. Sorry guys you need to do a lot better will it order ever again from this place read more

I ordered online for a 8:20pm pick up. Arrived at 8:36pm to find half my order done and sitting on the counter with no temperature control, with one of the items being macaroni salad made with mayo just sitting out at risk of getting.     I proceed to speak to a young man who was by the register and I advise him I'm there to pick up an order and I believed it was the one on the counter he goes over to it and says the mofongo was not ready yet. I responded ok. He just stared at the receipt and said nothing. So I said ok I'm just trying to get my food that's prepaid for. He then said well I can do a regular mofongo since I don't have the tri fongo ready. I said whatever I just need to get the food. He then said it will be 7 min for the tri fongo. I said once again ok. He then proceeded to throw around things as he is placing it to fry with an attitude. A family entered and he left the items for the mofongo to the side and continued to assist the new customers that walked in. He made me wait another 25 min to clear the restaurant of other clients to then finish the tri fongo. Once finished he threw the container on the other counter to walk over to the pre served items sitting in a near by counter top to bag everything up. I asked for a manager as I wanted my money back instead and he said no one is here you have to come in the morning. Horrible attitude and the worse customer service experience. As a near by hotel manager we used to recommend this place to our guest that wanted Spanish food but with the competition in the area and this experience. I have instructed my staff to no longer suggest this restaurant. We are recommending Made in Puerto Rico that is in same shopping center. El Cafetal or El Rinconcito all options in the area for our guest and still able for us to provide transportation to. Never again.  To top it off they have a ceiling leak right above the cold food station. And they placed a small container to catch the water and with the container being half full the drops where splashing water out of it on to the food in that area. Health department needs to visit them as per this and the staff don't seem to have food safety training. read more

First thing I want to say is that the trays were so greasy, I almost lost my meal right at the start. Kinda wish I had though, since I must say, it was just awful. The Ribs were so under cooked, I wonder if that was the reason for all the salt they added to them. Then the Chicken legs were also salty and horrible along with it's bullet proof skin. Broke 2 forks on that alone. The rice and beans were at least normal tasting. And thank God my drink was bottled or who knows what that might have been. Oh, and did I mention my Chicken still had feathers? Never again....yuk! read more

Pretty nice place with some food I missed from the islands, however the Mofongo that I ordered stated that the meat would be stuffed into the middle and when the serving came it was out on the side with the mofongo being just by itself. Don't get me wrong, it was still good, I just felt that the flavor would have mixed better with the meat inside of the dish instead of on the side. The prices were fair and the menu diverse, though they could have more people working the front for speedier purchases. I can see myself coming back again to try the others items on the menu if i'm in town. read more

Went in earlier today for lunch and there was some people waiting to order before us so we stood on line for about 15 minutes just to order because there was only two girls. My man went the safe way and got chicken with rice n beans, I'm boricua so I went for the pastele and some sancocho soup. The food was an embarrassment to all Puerto Rican because the pastele was tasteless and the soup was bland and missing everything a sancocho soup is made of. His plate also lacked flavor and he said the chicken was dry. We just moved in the area and we will never again come here. Better off just making it myself for the price we paid read more

This is a great Puerto Rican food place. The food is served cafeteria style. You tell the person what you want and they setup your plate. If you order the mofonogo, just be ready for 10-15 wait. I got the steak & peppers & onions with fried plantains and yellow rice with red beans. It was very delicious and very filling. I was there with several people from PR and they loved it. My only complaint is that I wish they had a sauce bar like Pollo Brasas. I understand that this is a PR place and that is probably not authentic so I understand why and that would not stop me from going back there again. Delicious and very reasonable prices. read more

Great portions and pricing. A bit salty. Quick service the day I went in. It does get pretty busy. The juice is pretty good, must be made in house. A good alternative when you want a full plate of food (rice beans, protein). read more
