September 3rd, 2011--Mattitos, Frisco, TX
view of stadium from Mattitos. Pro-soccer & HS football
Family-owned, although there are now several locations throughout the area (and sadly Mattito is no longer among the living). I immediately liked the place, because the manager told me I could take as many pictures as I wanted of whatever I wanted. He shared that recently someone had won first place in a photo contest with a "Mattitos at night" shot. Located across the street from the soccer stadium, it may become our new hang-out for pre or post soccer games.
The second reason I immediately liked the place is that not only did they have MOLE on the menu, but they agreed to make my favorite dish which was not the menu--spinach enchiladas with mole sauce.
Fun atmosphere--check out the cool bottle wall and funky lights.
Sadly my teenaged bean and cheese burrito connoisseur was unable to attend, due to a pressing engagement at Walgreens with his new friends. That is a topic for my other blog.
My husband and I split our dinners. Mine--spinach enchiladas with mole sauce. His--snapper with a black bean sauce. The mole was good--nicely balanced with multiple kinds of chilis. I tend to like my mole with a little bit more spice and chocolate undertones. The snapper was delicous. The guac was more "onionly" than some, but had a nice kick to it. Here's the real treat--a michelada. I have never seen this on any menu, except when I was in Mexico. It is a distinctively different and refreshing beverage (I've been told it's the best hangover cure in the WORLD). It's made with beer, clamato juice (clam & tomato), lime and spices. They made ours with bohemia beer.
