Order queso as a first course here, a full bowl of it. The one to know is the Bob Armstrong, which Matt's El Rancho invented in the seventies and trademarked in 2015: queso with crumbled taco beef and guacamole worked through it. I judge every other queso in town against it.
Queso.

Raphael Brion scored it 7.8 for queso, carne guisada and enchiladas built on the old Dart Bowl recipe, and The Infatuation files it in its own Austin Queso Power Rankings, where the salsa sampler runs five house made salsas from a mild avocado to the fiery El Scorpio.
