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 RickmanDecember 24, 2015Love 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.
Enrique Gutiérrez ArzateJanuary 7, 2019I’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
Josh TruaxSeptember 15, 2015The 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.🍕🍕🍕🍕
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
Kayan HargreavesOctober 12, 2010Red 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.

Heidi WilliamsNovember 28, 2010food here is delicous, 1 app and 1 entree is plenty for 2 people. service is always friendly and happy. if you can swing it, do happy hour and eat appatizers for dinner
Jenelle FreebornApril 8, 2013Fish tacos are SO good. Might be a tad spicy for those that don't tolerate it well. Always add guacamole too!
Mike BradenJanuary 9, 2014The Mole Colorado is AMAZING!!!! Get some grilled jalapeños to compliment the already stellar flavor.
Happy Hour is awesome here and you have to have the steak or braised pork tacos!
The steak meals, nachos and enchiladas are all great. Great atmosphere, two good TV's with sports.
Eric HodelJanuary 22, 2015The fish tacos are amazing! Unfortunately the TVs are awkwardly placed for watching sports ball
Christopher RiggsOctober 22, 2015I really like their food but one time a few years back I went there to have dinner and the waitress was finished taking our order when we both looked over there was a cockroach crawling up the wall 😖
I credit Matador for raising my tolerance for spicy food. Hachacha!! Ps the steak nachos are the best in town.
Try the Full Sail- Wassail on tap as it's tasting amazing with the food!!
Von Marie OlivaNovember 7, 2011Their garlic prawns are $5 for Happy Hour - don't miss this opportunity!
West Seattle GirlJuly 10, 2010The $4 Happy Hour nachos could practically feed four people! And all of my friends are addicted to the steak tacos.
Go to the Matador in West Seattle and get the Happy Hour Nachos w/chicken and a glass of their red sangria.
