“Matadora delivers where it matters most: the food. Unfortunately, it struggles with when it matters most: time. We arrived on a Saturday evening to a nearly empty dining room and gave ourselves a generous 90 minutes. Even with few guests, both food and drink service moved slowly from the start. As the evening went on, the bar area filled up and the delays became more pronounced. The reason became clear. Only three people were working in the kitchen on a Saturday night, a choice that ultimately shaped the entire experience. That said, the food is genuinely excellent. We started with shishito peppers, Mexican corn, and Mediterranean spicy olives. The wait tested our patience, but the payoff was real. Everything was flavorful and well executed. The honey drizzle on the olives, which initially sounded questionable, worked beautifully, balancing sweet and briny in a way that made them hard to stop eating. For mains, Matadora showed its strengths. The blackened swordfish was bold, well cooked, and satisfying. The seafood paella was rich, layered, and deeply flavorful, clearly prepared by a kitchen that knows what it is doing. Zero proof cocktails were also thoughtfully crafted and stood out as more than an afterthought. Unfortunately, timing won. With service continuing to lag, we skipped dessert to make our next commitment and barely made it out on time. Matadora is easy to recommend for its food and drinks. The flavors are dialed in and the menu works. But the service pace needs attention. Staff the kitchen properly and this becomes a standout. Until then, go when you have nowhere else to be.“

“Just had an okay meal here. Vibes and atmosphere were nice, but the food did not live up and we were disappointed with how long the end of the meal took. They were clearly short staffed, as we saw our server running around trying to help all of her tables and so we do not blame her—she was great! It just shouldn’t take 30 minutes to order dessert after receiving the menu. The meatballs and ham & cheese sandwich were my favorite, but still a 4/5.“

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“This is exactly the type of food you want when thinking of tapas. The food is sooooo delicious with so many flavors coming at you, the hangar steak is unreal flavoring honestly could have just that and be very happy. The food comes out hot and fresh but recommend putting in a few plates per person from the jump. The only thing that might set this place back is the music and volume, personally for me it was fine but if you not in the mood for loud music or don't like throw back hip hop then just consider that.“

“We are in Cambridge for a few nights and found Dali being a restaurant nearby. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. Luckily we made reservation as the restaurant was packed. The menu was extensive; the service was friendly; the meal was served quickly and delicious and the atmosphere was great. We ordered 4 tapas plus an order of focaccia and a bottle of wine. All come to less than $100 not including tips. A must try in Cambridge, MA.“

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!“

“Full portions, fair pricing, great quality, what more do you want.
Purchased a chicken quesadilla, mexican nachos, and chicken enchiladas. All three were very very good.
I think the nachos are the best Ive ever had, that’s how good they were. Got them with the beef and it was seasoned just right not too salty, most places use way too much salt. Very tender too. Huge sized nachos.
All 3 meals had ample amounts of clearly fresh guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. Tortillas look like they are made in house.
All the food was extremely fresh with plenty of flavor.
Will definitely come back here.
Seems like a family run restaurant and were all very friendly. You know it is legit when all the other patrons are mexican and english is obviously a 2nd language for everyone.
Thank you!!!“
