    The food at Matador is consistently very good. The Happy Hour is deliciously satisfying and always fun. The staff are friendly especially Angelina, Kassy and Fernando. The tacos with any meat are winners and the grilled chicken quesadilla are yummy.

    My quesabirrias we’re a delight, they were hefty with meat and cheese. As they should also, the broth on the side and the spicy green salsa on the side complimented my meal to the max. Had 1 Paloma and it was exquisite. My date had the flautas, he enjoyed himself. We both shared the FLAN it was super delicious. Will consider again.

    We have eaten here before and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, on a most recent visit there was a group of 12-14 young people who were very loud. When they left, the noise level returned to normal.

    Great ambiance! Inside and outside seating was available. Great place for food and drinks. We were the party of 8 that ended up being the party of 7. We all shared pitchers of margaritas and chips and salsa. We also had a variety of meals that were so fresh and tasty! Definitely recommend!!
