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.

Leaving this review to say I’m thankful for the service I get at matador. Bri , specifically is the person I see and tell myself tonight the decision to eat at matador is worth it. Great service from everyone. But Bri takes the experience to another level. High knowledgeable of the menu and beverages. I’m thankful.

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!
