"From out of town and this is a staple for whenever we come out to visit, reasonably priced, great service, clean environment amazing food!! Must try!"
"First visit and it was great! Food is fresh, hot, delicious, and plentiful(you definitely will not leave hungry)! Complimentary Chips and Salsa (extremely Hot, buyer beware). The Chimichanga which is filled with shredded beef was delicious. The only thing missing was the Ranchero Sauce the menu listed as part of this plate. The Guac and the beans and rice were all good. Hosts and the Server I had could be a bit more positive, upbeat, enthusiastic and welcoming. Parking was only 1-2 spots in front, but they said there's parking behind the restaurant (I think you have to turn down a side road before you get to the restaurant to get to that parking). I Def recommend and hope to be back soon."
"I have been going to El Matador for 40 years now. Always had good food and service. Try their extra hot salsa, the best heat ever."
