Overview

Matamoros Taqueria, nestled along TX-149 in Longview, Texas, offers an authentic slice of Mexican cuisine that draws locals and families alike. This Mexican restaurant is best known for its standout quesadillas and a variety of tacos, particularly the carne asada served on warm corn tortillas. The emphasis on traditional flavors shines through each dish, delivering a satisfying blend of seasoned meat and fresh vegetables.

Patrons frequently praise the generous portions of meat in the tacos, highlighting the balance between protein and accompanying veggies.

Excellent tacos! I had Barbacoa, Al pastor, & chorizo. All very good, but I especially loved the barbacoa. My wife had a chicken quesadilla, which was also delicious. The staff were very friendly. If you drive past this place all the time but never stop to eat, you’re missing out!
