Try the Tamarind Margarita ! It's so different and good and it has a cinnamon sugar rim that makes it absolutely perfect! Steak nachos for happy hour will feed all of starving Ethiopia! They are huge!

Steven Rickman

Love the atmosphere! It was like if Quentin Tarantino had a Mexican restaurant haha. The carne asade burrito was super good and the guacamole starter was really good too.

Josh Truax

The beer on tap is great they have karaoke as well as a gigantic pizza you can order...and I mean the size of your table. Bring friends to help.???? ???? ???? ????

I’m very picky when it comes to tacos , nevertheless guys here do a great job with all the menu. But to be honest, if you’re looking for tacos go to LA

Eric Tigre

Matador is a lively addition to the Alaska Junction. It's Goth-lite Tex-Mex vibe is great to get beer and some tacos with friends under dim light . However, staffing is a bit like Hooter's with coeds. Read more

Fish tacos are SO good. Might be a tad spicy for those that don't tolerate it well . Always add guacamole too!

Melanie

Great happy hour food! Tacos are great, and the clementine salad was also very tasty.

Red zin is yummy, and so are sangrias . The nachos are a cholesterol convention , so super delicious! Ask bartender Beau for jokes - not very funny but he tries and it's fun to witness the attempt.
