What recent reviews say

Matt's Latin BBQ draws returning customers with generous portions and authentic Latin dishes, but recent visits reveal troubling swings in execution. Chicken arrives either perfectly roasted or disappointingly bland and dry, rice ranges from fresh to grainy and flavorless, and sides like yucca show inconsistent prep. Long-term regulars mourn a recent slide in consistency; newcomers or those catching a good day still find value.

Praised for
  • generous portions
  • rotisserie chicken (when quality is on)
  • friendly staff
  • fair pricing for large groups
  • authentic Latin sides
Watch-outs
  • recent inconsistency in chicken quality
  • bland or undercooked poultry
  • grainy or flavorless rice
  • hard or poorly prepared sides
  • pricing feels high for perceived quality decline

Best for: families seeking affordable, generously-portioned Latin-style rotisserie dishes.
Think twice if: consistency has deteriorated notably in the past two years; order quality is unpredictable.

  • inexpensive pricing when promotional deals apply

Worth knowing

  • staff members Treacy and Jaky noted for attentive, friendly service
  • rotisserie chicken and pork pernil are signature items
  • four orders stated to serve 6–8 people
  • sides include fresh-made fries, sweet potato, potato salad, yucca, pickled green bananas, yellow rice
