Matamoros is a neighborhood scene with couples and families sharing generous plates of food. On the Tex-Mex side of things, standouts are chunky
guacamole, Texas-style all-meat chili,
cumin-rubbed pork ribs, and fajitas. As in many Latin restaurants, skirt steak is a major player. Have it with fried eggs, plantains, and refried beans in a platter called El Campesino.
