El Matador

I went here for a catered birthday party, and have no complaints. We just had fajitas, guacamole, cheesy beans, warm tortillas, and chips and salsa. Everything was good, but they kept running out of tortillas. The venue was great for about 70 people. Options included beer, wine, or margaritas. The margaritas were really good, and they had different types they could muster up. This was a fun and friendly place that I look forward to revisiting where the entire menu is available to peruse.

We love El Matador. Great food , wonderful service . Quick and easy . We have been going El Matador for years , have shared many happy occasions and made many memories at this local Mexican Food Restaurant.

Solid taco Tuesday deals. $6 margaritas and cheap tacos. Fast and friendly service. Lots of space. Big fan of the shredded chicken hard taco (without cheese). The steak soft taco was also really good and topped with a healthy amount of guac. Will be back!

I tried the ultimate margarita described as a big margarita in a fish bowl, wasn't as big as I thought. And the tequila in it tasted pretty low quality. Our food came out pretty fast, service was good. My food was good and the portions were generous. I also tried a bite of my husband's chimichanga and it was delicious. I'd definitely go back but not for a margarita.

Early evening dinner with family here - at their recommendation. How can you go wrong with place that's been around for almost 60 yrs in the same spot. The interior definitely shows its age in a nostalgic way. They were busy but easily accommodated us, clearing an area to seat the group. Server was attentive, got our drinks & the food order was accurate. Considering how busy it was I'm sure it was an effort. I ordered the chimichanga and the wife got the flautas. Portion sizes were huge & food flavorful. My chimichanga wasn't what I was expecting - instead of being deep fried it was more pan fried. Not quite sure how I feel about that... Prices were reasonable considering how touristy the area is. That's probably why they've been so successful

An amazingly huge selection of tequilas, and the sort. Variety of Mexican beers in bottle only, no tap. They also offer some other types of alcohol if tequila is not your thing. Friendly service, generous pours. The food is good or just ok. It's your typical Americanized Mexican food. Plenty of people enjoy it, and that's what matters. The place is huge, with plenty of outdoor seating and a fun but chill ambiance.Located in a very busy intersection with limited parking in a small lot but can also park in the surrounding businesses or street.

Authentic Mexican food. Excellent and friendly staff and great atmosphere. I recommend the Enchiladas and the Cadillac Margarita.

Wow what a great little spot! Came in here for taco Tuesday we were seated in Chris's section. It's been a while since I've had such attentive service. Chris was on it with with refilling waters, chips and salsa answering any questions about the menu. Just in general nice and friendly service. It was refreshing. Taco Tuesday was a value. These are monster tacos not tiny street tacos soooooo good. We tried the hard shell, shredded beef, tacos, and soft shell Carnitas. Both were excellent! We got a side of rice and beans those were just ok. But I also got a Chile Riano à la cart and that was excellent! I would definitely go back and would recommend anyone looking for a festive Mexican restaurant to check this little gem out!

This was an amazing place for our private event! The staff was on point, the food was excellent and everyone had a wonderful experience!Sincerely,Orange County Dental Society
