Lake Mateos

By Jim Taibi

Lake Mateos. What an amazing place. Bandmates Tim Tuttle, Mike Baca and I, along with Tim’s brother Terry headed down to Lake Mateos in mid-January to find out for ourselves what this place is all about. The four of us are all veterans of Anglers Inn at El Salto with over twenty trips between us.

What we found upon arrival was a beautiful new lodge in a tropical jungle- like location. As usual Ramon and Joel were there to greet us with Margarita’s and appetizers as our bags and tackle were whisked off to our cabins. The new rooms at Mateos are very spacious and well-appointed. The new amenities have been well thought out and we couldn’t have been more comfortable or content. Being able to relax outside at night with the river valley in full view was very special. Anglers Inn at Mateos is a masterpiece in my opinion. Billy has done it again. The lodge is very roomy and open with a great feel to it. The inside and outside dining areas and bar are very comfortable and there are great views of the river valley from all of the outside areas. The fire pit is a great place to relax after one of Delfino’s amazing meals or a soothing massage at the spa. Speaking of the food, the new lodge has not missed a beat in preparing the dishes that Anglers Inn is famous for. Anyone who has been to Anglers at El Salto will recognize the excellent quality and presentation of the classic meals and service style.Read more...
