Great food, service was ok. We were traveling and a party of 5 adults and one child. Everyone got something different, and the it was all good. Large portion size for the price, would love to come here again

Outstanding restaurant! Got the Tifton Burrito. Stuffed, and I mean STUFFED, with huge juicy shrimp, tender steak, sauté fresh veggies, including squash and zucchini, perfectly seasoned rice, and beans all wrapped in a amazing delicious flour tortilla draped in creamy white cheese. The staff were all very nice too! Authentic, beautiful decor and very clean and tidy! Will definitely be back here asap!

The food was delicious, I had taco asado and my husband had a burrito. Chips, salsa and cheese dip were great as well. The service was quick, friendly and efficient. The ambiance was lively and family friendly. The decorations seemed authentic. Overall great experience.

OUTSTANDING food, service, and ambiance. Had the chicken fajitas and it sets a new standard. From out of town and coming back to Tifton just to eat here!!

We were famished after a long day on the road and chose this place based on other reviews. We weren't disappointed. We arrived a little after 5:30 PM and the place was hopping. We were able to get seated but we got one of the last booths. They have quite an extensive menu. We both had a beer to drink but the drink special for Saturday evening is a pitcher of margaritas for $14.99. Had we not been so tired... We both ordered burritos. I got the supreme and my wife had the Jarecho. They were huge and very good. They don't come with rice and refried beans like most places. I ordered a side of Mexican rice but couldn't eat it all. I could have done without it. This place is decorated in authentic Mexican decor and while it was nice, it wasn't anything fancy. Fluorescent lights set an atmosphere that says you are here to eat and move on. It isn't intimate but suits the business. Our food arrived shortly after we ordered it and all told we spent less than an hour here. We'll stop in again when we are in the area.

This was the most hoppin' spot in Tifton with the exception of the Publix water aisle a day before the hurricane. Seriously though, El Matate was an excellent choice for Mexican. The parking lot was packed, and we snagged the last table before the lobby started to fill up with people waiting, and the service was quick and friendly. They had some big ass margaritas which were cheap on Wednesdays. The crunchy taco (a must at any Mexican restaurant) was pretty basic, but also pretty good for being basic. And the fajita burrito with steak, chicken and shrimp was big and filling. Tony's tacos also looked good but I didn't get to try it. I think there were a few Mexican options in Tifton, and we only tried this one, but if I was ever back in town, I'd probably end up here again, but get there early enough to beat the rush!

Ordered the fajitas for two and they were the best I ever had! I called in an order for pick up, but the inside was bustling with people, it's very clear that this is "the best place in Tifton!"

First of all, the service here is amazing. Second, the food is done fast and good. And third, the environment is exciting and fun.

Great place to stop on your rode trip. Large petitions, tasty for all. My 11 year old and my 80 yesterday old mother including my wife and I were very satisfied. Bean and cheese burrito for the young one, taco chicken salad for mom, enchiladas Verdes and I had mole poblano. Each dish was much better than any fast food. The place was packed with locals including a birthday party. The service was above average however, the manger is amazing. We would eat here often and I would change one thing. No cheese on top of my mole, lol!
