Shared a great burger and attempted to share a medium rare (actually extremely well done overcooked) steak.

Mateo's is very much open and doing a great job. we have been here twice and loved it!! looking forward to becoming regulars!

Wow! Drove by Mateo last night and this place has been SEIZED by the government, most likely for failure to pay taxes. Sad to see any business close. Restaurant survival, especially in the last couple of years, is extremely difficult.

The worst service I've ever experienced. We waited 50 minutes for a waiter or waitress to come to our table to take a drink order. It was not busy, there was ample staff, and the manager filling up waters said it had even been a slow day. They were not attentive or friendly. We decided to stick it out and wait since we were hungry and it would've been hard finding a dinner reservation at the last minute, plus we typically love the food. The food is usually amazing, but this time it was not that great. Steak was overcooked and chewy, chicken was rather dry. No longer somewhere I consider as being worth the money, but I definitely used to love it here! Bummer for sure. Such abysmal service we won't be returning sadly!

Really disappointed in the service today. Sunday brunch. Few diners, but still took 30 minutes to get cocktails and another 45 minutes to get simple breakfast food. Unfortunate.

The restaurant Mateo's is great! I've been there a few times with my family and it's always been a pleasure. Last time I was there I had a really lovely server named Sarah. She was so chill and cool. I'll definitely be eating here next time.

wife and I went for brunch, we thought we were going for an upscale brunch but would have better to stay at home. completely dead inside (but blasting old school rap music) service was inattentive (asked for sparkling water and brought still, and no refills throughout the brunch). Food was somehow brunt but cold. Our recommendation is to go to brunch at the Kitchen for downtown boulder.

I was the highest bidder for a chef tasting/wine pairing dinner for 10 at Mateo with Mathew (the owner) at a live auction. After organizing with Corey, the chef, setting a date and confirming that morning, the chef tasting with Mathew didn’t happen. We had 10 guests coordinate baby sitters and get dressed up for the most disappointing dining experience. Mathew had tickets to the CU game with Corey so they bailed without talking to us. The poor staff scrambled to accommodate our party size by making the tiniest table seat 10 people by the bathrooms. Then it was like the kitchen ran out of food and every other person received a half portion to share. Dessert was every third. It was so embarrassing. It’s taken me a few weeks to write this after being so disappointed. I found out later, the benefit actually paid the restaurant for the auction item. I will never recommend Mateo or Raglin Market (their other restaurant) to anyone ever again.
Very nice food preparation and pleasant ambiance. Not too formal but with many good elements to enjoy the food. It is one of the casual mid-high end restaurant. Maybe not fancy but great place to go.

We didn't have a dinner reservation and it was packed when we arrived for dinner, but the 45 minute wait was well worth it. The service was cordial and accommodating. My husband and I shared the burger and pan-roasted chicken entree...both were juicy and delicious! The wine spritzer was the best I've ever had. Can't wait for a return visit next time we're in Boulder.

Moules - I ate at Mateo on Oct. 10 with a group of 12. It was listed as fine dining but most of the folks had hamburgers. My Moules were very good but did not include fries as most places do. The drinks, wine and cocktails seemed overpriced. The service was very slow but only one waitress was waiting on 12 people. I much prefer Brasserie 10 10 for fine dining.

I’ve been here a few times and the food/cocktails/wine are excellent. The service has always been slow but it’s usually been worth it. Unfortunately I have to amend that because no matter how good the food is, if you don’t get utensils for 20 minutes after the food comes, or your cocktail order doesn’t come out for 40 minutes(and then is wrong) it doesn’t matter. I really hope service gets better and I can change this review.

Loved our Sunday Brunch. Friendly staff & delicious food. We were a party of 6. We each chose a different dish and everyone enjoyed their meals!! Mateo’s is wonderful about making accommodations for dietary preferences. Highly recommended!
