Reviews for Matador in San Francisco, CA
It was ok, average. Food came out really fast but the margaritas arrived after we finished our meal, even though we reminded a... waitress half way through the meal. The tacos looked very nice (see photos) and the taste was a little better than average.Waitress was friendly but I think they would’ve done better with one or two more staff. Read more
Overall a nice place for some good Mexican food. I really enjoyed there quesadillas which I do recommend. Stuff is towards the... expensiver side though. Churros we’re also really yummy. Read more
This place is amazing. As soon as I sat down Mario behind the bar greeted me; made me feel super welcome. I ordered a spicy... Paloma, and it's probably the best one I've had in a while, and he doesn't taking the rim, he tajin's half the frickin' glasswhich is awesome. Then they brought out chips and guacamole or green sauce of some sort. It was nice somewhat thick texture,tart and flavorful, (nithing worse than a bland sauce)but the CHIPS, the chips kinda stole the show, which is odd. I just havenever tasted chips that freshly toasted out of the oven before. I asked for more sauce, and he brought it right away with awhole new batch of chips. And the bacon wrapped1 poppers were excellent, and not your ordinary out of the freezer poppers. Thesebad boys were clearly made in the kitchen and they didn't disappoint. Compliments to the chef. Mario, without asking me, broughtme a shot of their frozen passion fruit margaritas slushy. And that was also really really great. Wish I was hungrier, anddidn't get buzzed so quick, but can't wait to go back. Great casual, spot for friends, family or a fun date with excellent,well, everything! P.s. almost forgot about the quesabirria. It was perfect. So good, just get it. Read more
I went into this restaurant from a local’s recommendation. The food and drinks here is out of this world! I had a spicy... skinny margarita and the tacos. But the server, Kristy, was incredible! She was super attentive and kind. I will definitelybe back when I’m town! Read more
We visited Matador on a Sunday evening and it was pretty busy. We had to wait outside a while before we were seated, but when we... finally were, the staff was apologetic and very friendly to us. We chose to sit at the bar because it was better lit and morespacious. We ordered horchata and a watermelon agua fresca for drinks. The server was friendly and quick to serve us. Fordinner, we ordered the mix and match tacos, where you can get 3 for $14. We both got the cauliflower adobo, camarones al diabla(grilled shrimp), and fish al pastor tacos. Everything tasted great and we were happy with what we ordered. Read more
Nice location for heated outdoor seating. The staff has always been nice. They have a good happy hour for Margaritas and... pitchers. The food is good if you don’t have a taste for actual Mexican food. If you enjoy more authentic Mexican food thisisn’t it. The rice is surprising good though. The cocktails are good. The mezcal is very Smokey. Read more
This spot lived up to high expectations. It was a little too windy to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor seating, but we... had a great time indoors. The drinks were very creative; particularly the signature old fashioned. The chips are the bestrestaurant chips I've ever eaten. Service and food were great. I really enjoyed the mole enchiladas, and everyone seemedhappy with their choices. Read more
Amazing food, great service! Orderd the carnita fajhitas and the taco specialty and corona extra , they didn't had the regular... bottle so they gave me extra in a glass. Worth the money???? Read more
