The menu looked great and we were excited to try their drinks but ended up leaving after 20 minutes of just sitting at the table. The bartenders looked in our direction several times and never acknowledged our presence. A simple “hey guys, we should be with you soon, thanks for your patience” would have put us at ease. First impressions matter, and with so many options in the South End area, I don’t see myself giving this place another chance.

The Atmosphere was the best part about this restaurant. Service was just above average, but wasn't bad.
The food was relatively plain and didn't have that Mexican flavor I was looking for. Mainly tastes like the spices that make up the Mexican pallet was halved. It was there, but not in adequate portions for proper seasoning. I tried all 4 of our parties dishes to make sure it wasn't just mine.
The food portions were large and definitely enough to fill. The others in my group were all pleased with the size of the dish, but also had the same observations as I did on taste.
Overall you won't be disappointed here, but I wouldn't say you will be wowed either.

The Matador modern Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine paired with a lively ambiance. Diners often highlight dishes like braised pork shoulder, enchiladas verdes, and butternut squash quesadillas. These spots are also praised for their extensive tequila selections and creative cocktails. However, reviews vary depending on the branch, with some patrons loving the vibrant atmosphere and inventive menu, while others note inconsistent service or find the food less authentic than expected.
If you're looking for a dynamic dining experience, especially for drinks and sharable plates, The Matador is a popular choice.

I came for happy hour and the food was such a great deal and it was so good. We sat at the bar and Rashel was our bartender. She was super knowledgeable about the menu, the drinks and was just super friendly any provided great service. I definitely will be back.
Was looking forward to trying this place out. Unfortunately it was a let down. We tried several items across the menu and the only flavorful thing was the Brussel sprouts. Everything else was flavorless... including my strawberry lemonade cocktail. Won't be returning and would not recommend.

We decided to visit Destini today for our 1 year anniversary, she could not have been better. She took such good care of us and really made it a special time for us. If you go absolutely request her she deserves all the raises in the world!! We will definitely be back just for her!

Great atmosphere, Nice And cozy with that contemporary Mexican Casita feel. Excellent variety of margaritas and other drinks. Good food, huge portions. Definitely a good place to bring friends, family or dates.
