El Matatan The Finest Fusion Of Latin Cuisine

First time going - but definitely will not be the last!! Great ambiance- it has low lighting and a cool bar with seats. The volume was low overall which I appreciated because you can have conversations with the people who you came to eat with. Now the real star- the food!!! The guacamole was a bit lack luster and bland in comparison to all the other flavor explosions we ordered. The bone marrow sweet potato appetizer was really yummy and not something I had tried before anywhere else. Added the bone for an additional $4- worth it!!! The lomo saltado was AMAZING!!! Super flavorful, the meat was very tender! All 4 of us ended up ordering it and we were very pleased with our meals! We need to come back to try the rest of the menu but I'm not sure I can go there and not order the lomo saltado again!! Also we ordered their margarita pitcher and it was really good and not overly sweet at all. All the staff was super helpful and kind and constantly checked on us to see how everything was. Would definitely recommend checking this place out!!

Every thing was great 100 % coming back The service was amazing The food also was great I thought chef Ramsay was here that good

Unique fusion of Cuban and Mexican flavors. The restaurant is really quaint, pretty decor and great service!We had brunch and we both liked our dishes! I'd say mine was a little on the salty side but I'm very sensitive to salt. I saw so many dishes I would definitely come back to try. We ordered the Suavero Benedict and Huevos Rancheros Looks like they have a liquor locker as a bookshelf divider that makes for a really pretty conversational piece. They also have a small private room that looks like it can fit about 35-40 people. It's a gem in a very small strip mall. Can't wait to come back and try dinner.

This is a cute, trendy spot for brunch! Came here before it got too busy so we were fortunate to be seated right away. Our server was friendly and had such a fun personality that heightened the ambiance. We started out with drinks and got a Fluere Collins and La Mari. We got cheese and corn empanadas for a starter, and corn pancakes and avocado toast for entrees.Fluere Collins- A good mixture of sweet, tangy, and refreshing. It is a strawberry based mocktail with hints of lemon.La Mari- A vacation drink if there ever was one! It has a creamy coconut pineapple base with fresh strawberries. They were generous with the alcohol as well.Cheese and corn empanadas- Crisp exterior with hot, gooey cheese inside and corn that adds a layer of texture. Served on a bed of black beans and smoky sauces and condiments on the side.Corn pancakes- This was delicious! The pancakes are soft and fluffy with a homemade caramel sauce. Finished with caramelized plantains.Avocado toast- Creamy avocado generously spread on sourdough toast. Accented with ham and cotija cheese and finished with over easy eggs. Very filling!The best part is the complimentary churro after your meal. Such a wonderful experience!

A cute little place with elevated Latin American food. I enjoyed my squash blossom quesadilla - the blue corn tortilla was nice. The texture was great on the yucca fries, and the ceviche with plantains was so fresh! We got a dessert (churros with strawberries and fresh whipped cream) for free, which was so nice. Super fresh and not too sweet. Great service too!

Amazing brunch spot!I was thoroughly impressed with every dish we ordered:- Corn cake pancake - this was so moist and soft - not gritty at all. They came with crema dulce & whipped cream on the side, which was great because you could sweeten it to your own preference. Plantains on top were nicely caramelized. 10/10- Huevos rancheros w/ ropa vieja - I loved how each tortilla chip was individually soaked in tomatillo salsa. The ropa vieja also added a nice kick and eggs balanced out the saltiness. 10/10- Suadero Benedict - a layer of beans made this a very unique but delicious sandwich. The brisket was so tender and delicious and was topped with the perfect runny poached egg. 10/105 stars for uniqueness, taste, aesthetics, and service! Food portions are not huge (we thought it would come with 2 pancakes instead of just 1) but it turned out to be very filling. I would love to go again to try other non-brunch foods like their empanadas, yucca fries, and Suadero tacos. The inside of the restaurant is lovely and service was friendly, helpful, and attentive. They do have a nice outdoor seating area, but it's along Katella, which is a busy street. Getting into their parking lot (which requires turning into a narrow residential alleyway) was confusing, but we eventually found it after following GPS. But the food definitely makes it worth it to make your way there!

My husband and I have been here a few times now and would highly recommend it. We have come now for dinner and brunch and both times the drinks were strong, the service amazing, and the food was delicious. I have had mimosas, chilaquiles, empanadas, tacos, and so many more delicious, including the churro sweets. It has all been so good.Parking is behind the building and is so easy to get to, and always plentiful. If you're in the area, I highly recommend that you come check this place out! We will most definitely be back to celebrate delicious food!

100 % recomendado,excelente atención , la comida deliciosa de buena calidad. Buenos precios y hospitalidad fenomenal.

Loved the octopus plate--so tender and full of flavor. Every dish we tried was perfectly executed, with just the right balance of seasoning. Nothing was overpowering. You can truly taste the chef's care and attention to detail in each bite.
