The food is fantastic. The atmosphere is dark, private, and with good vibes. The tequila selection is very robust. Wonderful date night, or other, restaurant. Do note, however, the whole place is 21+.

Bartender wasn't really paying attention to me. I had to ask for everything.

The food was good and the service was fine. It is very, very dark though. Like unnecessarily dark. Probably won't go back unless it's mid day during the summer.

One of my favorite dinner places. Lots of vegetarian options. Very inviting decor and if it is nice out, they have great outdoor seating.

For being in a kind of odd place in Portland, I believe this is probably one of the better Mexican style restaurants. I’ve been to in a long time. The food was excellent. Quantity was good. The service again excellent. I didn’t post pictures because there seems to be a lot already.

Matador is such a fun restaurant with good vibes and great service! I’ve been a handful of times and love that they offer vegan meat substitutes with such good flavor. Jahayra has been my server every time I’ve been and she’s outstanding. She always goes above and beyond and gives me the best experience. Since I’m vegan, she is always very careful to let me know what my options are. I’ll be back!

Would just like to personally shout out Jahayra. She is one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She’s a perfect balance of sassy and sweet. Call her “The Matador Sour Patch Kid.” She really pops her… you know what.

Jahayra was great! She was very helpful and kind. I was hesitant on what to order to eat and recommended the steak habanero burrito. It was delicious.

I come to this matador very often and I continuously run into issues with a specific server named Yahida. She always has a snobby attitude and is rude like she doesn’t like her job. If you come to this location definitely don’t have her as a server. When I say bad experience bad. We have to do better matador!
