Tacos Al carbon were delicious, rice and beans: amazing! Margaritas can be a little stronger.
Over all experience it was ok. We got a great welcome. Our table was ready so we got there at a great time. The salsa and chips... they give you to start is delicious. I'm currently 5 months pregnant so I has to order my margarita virgin and it was yummy. Wegot steak, chicken and shrimp fajitas and they were great. The sides however for being a Mexican restaurant they felt storebought. The rice was dry, I hardly got beans and what I did get was dry. The service started to go down from there when it cameto the kids food. I completely understand a Mexican restaurant don't order American but kids are learning to eat too. Read more
We love this place! Food is always good and service is very good. We like having hot and mild salsa too. They did a good job... trying to accommodate my needing an enchilada minus the tortilla. I miss the flavor, just can't eat wheat or corn. Read more
These people take their salsa seriously! Came here with family and was blown away by how delicious the food was. My two tests... for Mexican food are the chips and salsa and the tacos. El Matador meets---nay, exceeds---on both counts! Their Spanish ricealso has flavor which is unusual for most Mexican joints. Their regular salsa is substantially hotter than other restaurants andtheir hot salsa...WOW. Great meals, great service, great food. Read more

If you get the right things, the food is decent. This is definitely not traditional Mexican food. It is very Americanized which... isn't necessarily a bad thing if that's what you're looking for. Although the salsa was kind of spicy and that was very good.Just ask for extra if you're looking for that and add it to your meal and you should be good! Read more
