  If you haven't been to see us lately then you've missed out on the construction happening at Mesa Riverview. Yes it's a bit of a mess, but when they are finished it will look great!

While I have your attention it might be good to note that construction has blocked our front doors and you can either enter through our patio door or our to-go pickup door and go to the host/hostess area. Thanks!

It's all in the detail

Ok, so we missed out on Cinco de Mayo, we'll catch up. It's hopping at Matta's Grill & Cantina! There are so many different things going on, all the details are being addressed now. Let me start by saying that we finally have front doors and they are BEAUTIFUL! The tile work is nearing completion, those guys are knee deep into detail and they are very talented. Al from Tanner Materials is overseeing all the flooring, look them up if you are looking for some fabulous tile work!

Allen from Web Plastering has done the most beautiful job on the stucco, inside and out! We wanted the stucco on the inside to match what the old Matta's looked like inside and he has done exactly what we wished for. Call Allen at 602-376-3829.

Our painter Neil needs some recognition too, he is the man to call when you need a painter. I bugged him to get a website up to show off his great work, but says he's not ready for modern technology so call Neil at: 480-227-6852

We would like to also tell you that you can get a taste of Senor Rio tequila at one of their many tequila tastings, check their website for info on locations. (Their Anjeo is my favorite) Ask for Senor Rio when we open!

If you follow us on twitter then you get to see photos minutes after I take them with my phone. I have been instructed by the big boss, my husband Peter, to not put many more pictures up on here, sorry. We want you all to be surprised by the attention to detail that we've put into our new Matta's! He has been the mastermind behind the design of the dining room, kitchen & bar. I do take credit for coming up with the 2nd floor, restoring all of the old Matta's light fixtures and restoring all of the old decorative pieces & repainting them. I am working on some artistic collages of old photos of the history of the Matta's restaurants so you'll have something to look at in our new waiting area.

Almost forgot, we now have 2 signs up on Bass Pro Drive! Our building sign should be going up soon. Also, our patio walls went up today.Enjoy the pictures!

Mattas.com

Just wanted everyone to know that I published our NEW Matta's website today. Go take a look around, there's lots to read...family history, history of Matta's food, menus, customer stories on why they love Matta's and see old photos too!
I will still be working on the website adding info & photos so you will see some changes. Keep checking back. If you come across a link that does not work, please let me know by emailing this blog.
Hope you all enjoy & have a great weekend!

Plastered

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!
