About El Matador

El Matador is a top-rated restaurant serving delicious Mexican food in a clean and friendly environment. Their tacos, queso, and chips and salsa are highly praised, and the shrimp tacos are loaded with fresh shrimp and toppings. This authentic Mexican eatery is a local favorite, often packed on Tuesday nights for taco specials that offer huge flavor at reasonable prices. With a cozy, mom-and-pop vibe, El Matador is a great spot to grab a bite and socialize. The atmosphere is beautiful and ideal for enjoying a margarita and fajita combo with friends and family. This restaurant is known for being kid-friendly and welcoming to dogs in the outdoor eating area. Customers love the chicken fajita burrito enchilada style and appreciate the great taco Tuesday deal at $3.50 for a massive taco. El Matador has plenty of parking and offers excellent service, even for larger parties. While the food is excellent, there have been some concerns about service quality. Overall, El Matador remains a great place to have a meal, offering lots of great choices and a fun, old-school feel.
