Matamoros Taco Hut | Our Story

A Gas Station That Fed a Town

Matamoros Taco Hut started in a converted gas station in Gonzales, Texas — and never needed to be anything fancier than that. The food did the talking, and the town kept showing up.

The old gas station on N St. Joseph Street never stopped fueling Gonzales — it just switched to tacos. You can't fake those bones.

Matamoros Taco Hut began with Abuela Juana, whose love for cooking and hospitality turned her home recipes into a local tradition. Starting from scratch in Gonzales, Texas, she shared the flavors of her casa — rich, comforting, and made with heart. Today, her spirit lives on in every taco and in our logo, reminding us that great food and genuine warmth are what make Matamoros feel like home.

While other kitchens flip to lunch, Matamoros is still serving eggs and morning plates for anyone who needs them. Their hours follow the town, not the other way around.

A taco here is a handshake and a standing invitation. Gonzales has been taking them up on it for years.
