Great food, friendly staff! Highly recommend the HUGE happy hour nachos. It was a bit steamy inside, though, and I wound up sweating like a stuck pig
Its so hot in the restaurant, they have AC, but they won't run it until it gets too hot outside.
Ballard an West Seattle icons. Miss the ol location in Ballard. Good watering hole for pre-funk'in!! Salsa is outstanding.
Got happy hour at the bar and it was so yummy. Jesus P was the bartender and made our experience great!
Leo was great. Get the ribeye tacos, you’ll be glad you did!!
Good service and food. Happy hour 4-6 has really good deals on food, but no drink specials.

The fajita flavor was awesome but the tortillas ruined it. They were stale. Gotta have exceptional tortillas for the dish ! I asked for corn tortillas to go with my fajitas and they were hard and tough so it ruined the dish. Asked for some flour to try and save it.

Food is always good at The Matador. And Karen, our server, far exceeded our expectations. She was professional , friendly, and far more attentive than servers at restaurants costing three times as much,. Great experience!

So sick of this place being understaffed and closing the kitchen early while we wait to be seated.

If I was Simon Cowell I’d be sending the rice and beans to Hollywood.

I would give this a five star rating if based only on the carnatas. Best ive ever had and i have ordered them at numerous places throughout the years. If only i had ordered it this time! My son got the carnatas and i got the carne asada with the rib eye. I was sorely disappointed and ate little. The meat was chewy and the corn frozen. My son gave me a piece of the very generous portion of his braised pork however so all was well. We took home so much food it likely fed him for days. The service was excellent and the drinks were good.
