Hi everyone! There's a lot of construction debris flying around at Matta's Grill & Cantina. Here are the photos to prove it!This is the north side of the dining room with windows at every booth. The arches will be covered in smooth plaster.
This is a view of our curb side pick-up area. It has it's own entrance on the south side of the building, so there's no more going up to the front of the restaurant to pick up your order. When we are up and running, the phone# for take out is: (480)964-TOGO
(Write that down!)
This is a view from our kitchen. To the left is a stack of walls that make up the huge fridge with a freezer inside. To the right is where the servers pick up your orders. Beyond that is the stairway to go up to our office.
All those wall pieces stacked up...well they're all put together now.
You think a 10 foot high refrigerator is big enough?
This is our waiting area. We had our carved wood benches and chairs restored that will once again be used in the Matta's waiting area.
There will be one beautiful ceiling in this area, so be sure to look up!
This is part of the dining room. Styrofoam and chicken wire wrapping the arches and some of the walls to prepare for plaster.
This is the other side of the dining room. To the right, the booths will be covered with a tiled roof and wood corbels. Straight ahead under where the Mariachi's will be a beautiful carved wall fountain.
And finally the smooth plaster that will resemble the old Matta's on Main Street. The guys are doing a superb job! The man in the photo working on the plaster said he had grown up eating at Matta's and can't wait till we open.
We hope you all enjoy the pictures!

Growing up in Mesa and my family knowing the Matta family. I have missed the great food. I still have family pick up the hot sauce jars and mail them to me in Florida. I remember when my Dad Craig would have me stop and pick up the gallon mayo jars of hot sauce and big paper sacks of chips to take home.
The best Mexican Food and the best family service. I will be coming back to Mesa after the grand opening to enjoy it all again. Thank You for sharing the updates of the new store. I know Mr Matta would be proud of the work done. I just wish his old booth next to the kitchen was in the new place. I remember as a little boy sitting with him and eating lunch after my Mom had bowled and Mr Matta had watched at the lanes around the corner.
Best wishes, tasty dishes and we all look forward to the new Mattas Grill and Cantina

ANY IDEA WHEN YOU WILL OPEN? WE HAVE A DINNER PLANNED FOR 5-11-2010. D
This looks AMAZING!!! OMG you two have been busy!
So excited to come see it in person!
Looks like it will be perfect when it is all finished! I can't wait! My family and I have been waiting a long time to go back to my favorite restaurant! And I'm so happy to know that you are keeping the old benches.. we had some happy time waiting on them.
the pics are amazing! it makes me so excited to see you getting closer and closer to opening! i love the booths with the windows. and is the upstairs going to have a seating area? we drive by often to see how things are looing, too! do you have an estimated time when you are opening? we can not wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the restaurants our sister and brother-in-law took us to when we moved here thirty-two years ago. Sure hated to see you close the restaurant on Main. We had several family and friends and parties in the old one. Loved the patio area! Old traditions die hard for some of us. Will be glad to try the new restaurant when you open.
