My friend and I met for a quick happy hour drink here recently and ended up lingering for hours and eating a huge dinner... mostly due to our lovely server, Ashlyne. She was just so incredibly nice. Visiting with her as our many tasty dishes came out gave us little incentive to go elsewhere. The rib eye Carne Asada was a favorite dish.

Atmosphere and food are both A+. I don't think I've ever been disappointed. The full menu is great and they usually have some neat seasonal options. I go most often for the amazing happy hour deals since the food is delicious and inexpensive.

Love this place! Used to go multiple times a week when I lived nearby, now I make sure to stop by whenever back in West Seattle. Servers are amazing, food is amazing, atmosphere is amazing, drinks are amazing. Can't recommend this place enough!

Matador has a great seasonal menu and killer happy hour deals. Their nachos are probably the most popular, but I have enjoyed the other dishes they offer. Couldn't get enough of their steak sandwich. I'm happy to live down the street from here.

The food was amazing but the star dish of the night had to be the Mexican street corn. Like I can’t even explain how incredible it was. As a Canadian I have just spent the better part of an hour searching every Mexican restaurant around me for just one that serves Mexican street corn and can’t find any. It’s like it doesn’t exist here. I just need that flavour in my life again man. I envy anyone that lives near this place that can order it whenever they like.

Service was good up to the point where we were waiting for our check. Our waitress looked to be chatting with the boss and doing other things. Kind of annoying but I’m sure it was a 1 time thing……… Anyways the food was pretty good. New twist on TexMex. I’d come here again for the atmosphere.

Near the best happy hour mexi-food location in west seattle. And the late night happy hour is an added bonus. I am an infrequent drinker, so I can't rate the liquor, but I would recommend the food.

Had such a great first visit for dinner that I made my second trip within two weeks. Creative menu, although perhaps not the most authetic. Spanish rice is top notch. Pricing is slightly higher than some traditional Mexican restaurants, but it's an elevated dining experience.

Excellent service, food and overall atmosphere!! Last minute decision to eat here with only 24 hours to spend in Seattle after dropping our college graduate at SeaTac. Loved the mojito was very generous in a large glass and the portions were gigantic even with splitting with my mom we took a quarter of the meal home!!
