The ambiance is perfect as is the decor. The drinks and food were delicious. Not one complaint. The staff is courteous and genuine. Life long Tacoma resident that will go back asap. Happy Mother's Day to me.

I love everything about this place except for the staff specially the hostess and waitress the two of them almost ruined our date night but we didn’t let that happen

Best meal I've had in a long time. The drinks are equally good, and strong. Bailey, our waitress was great, very helpful and funny. I also noticed the great communication and teamwork between the staff. They were very busy, but still delivered top knotch service.

I decided to visit my sister this weekend in Washington state and my had a little girls weekend trip, MUCH FUN!!! One of the restaurants we had dinner at was called The Matador. It's serves Mexican Food. The food was amazing!!!! And the presentation of everything was to die for it just made you want to eat your food right away. The ambiance of the whole restaurant reminded me of day of the dead meets the old wild west, twisted with a little modern flare it hard it's own killer vibe to the scene. The music up to date, the drinks had an interesting flare and good blends to them and of course you could always go with your classic wine and beer of choice if you so choose to. This is a must try if your a foodie and you like to be on the scene as well!!

The happy hour at this place is THE HAPPY HOUR OF THE TOWN! The best food you could possibly get for the best prices ever! They really know how to market them selves sheer genius. This place is packed for a reason. There is also a Matador in West Seattle as well if you are up North. The servers are sweet & the food comes out so fast it’s almost considered fast food in my humble opinion. Every time I have friends that come in town I take them to the West Seattle location because I live in Kent however a group of friends & I have been coming to this location because many of them live further south so I’m grateful for both locations. Stop by & try the food & any of the MANY & I SAY MANY OF THE TEQUILA & MEZCAL selections they have!

Always delicious food and even better service! Huge portions that make for great leftovers. They'll even send you home with chips and salsa, a bonus!

Great food. So flavorful! The happy hour menu is a great value and wonderful selections. We will be back.

Absolutely love coming here for date night and enjoy their cocktails and appetizers.The cocktails are a hit and miss on the bartender. I have been here three times and two out of three the drinks were amazing!!

I had the grande nachos (not pictured) and I tried my friends bbq cauli wings they were delicious. It's always packed and a wait during happy hour but we didn't have to wait long. They have outdoor seating available. The hostess was very patient and getting everyone checked in. Our server was great, she helped by giving several recommendations.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Great service. Recommend getting there an hour early out ur name in the list and have some drinks at the bar. The bowl of chili was great and the steak was fantastic. Chips and salsa ...solid salsa !!!
