A legacy Tex-Mex restaurant in Central Texas known for attracting big names \u2014 from Will Ferrell to\u00a0Serena Williams \u2014 is now adding a British pop star to its growing list of celebrity diners.\u00a0Charli XCX was recently spotted<\/a> visiting Matt’s El Rancho<\/a> while in\u00a0Austin over the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Charli XCX performed both Fridays October 2 and 9, where she surprised fans with surprise guests Troye Sivan during Weekend 1 and Tinashe during her Weekend 2 set. After her shows, the Grammy Award-winning singer made the most of her time in Austin with a shopping trip on South Congress Avenue<\/a> and more recently, a meal at Matt’s.<\/p>\n

While it’s unclear what Charli XCX ordered at Matt’s, MySA reached out to the restaurant to find out. This isn’t the first time Charli XCX has made it a point to stop at some beloved Austin spots while visiting the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, she kicked off the North American leg of her BRAT 2025 TOUR with two back-to-back concerts at the Moody Center. She prolonged her stay in the city and was spotted partying at Donn’s Depot<\/a> and greeting fans on\u00a0South Congress near the Austin Motel.<\/p>\n
