amazing food! had the steak fajitas best I have had anywhere. the owner came and talked with us to make sure everything was ok. We will definitely go back and tell our friends and family

I have been going to EL MAT since I was a little girl,and my husband proposed to me there :D we used to meet up and have dinner with the whole family The chicken chimichangas enchilada style with guac are to die for. I can't believe some of the reviews I have read. granted the food may not be authentic but it is a great place to gain fond memories

I have been going to el Matador since I was a kid. My aunt actually worked there:) I love the new location, not the new price. I used to be able to get two soft shelled shredded beef tacos for the price of the hard shelled ones but now it costs about $10.00 for one. Lunch time is crazy here be prepared to wait. My only problem besides the pug nosed late 30's early 40's blonde waitress who is terrible...is the dreaded dreary and dark green room which has no natural light to offset the low lighting that is every where. You can barely see your food and your eyes spend the whole time trying to adjust. I ran into an old high school friend there and couldn't recognize him until he took off his baseball cap. I was so embarrassed. I'd just avoid that room until they realize the bad lighting and fix the problem.

I am willing to drive 60 miles to eat here,they have the best beef enchiladas and homemade french fries, their chips and salsa is diffently fought over at our table.
