Great energy, smiles, fabulous banana desert
Often go here. Love sitting by the fireplace; wait people are always SO friendly, do not pass go: ORDER BANANA DESERT. A surprise: Better than ordinary coffee. As to that other review...what were you thinking? Hello! Don't go in any alcoholic establishment without ID

Wait Staff Needs Training
I went there with my friend and his 22 yr old daughter. We were seated, and when the waitress came she asked my friends daughter for her ID.... which she wasnt carrying. We were asked to leave because she didnt have ID. They should have told us this when we entered. I wont even try to eat here again. We went down the street to the Brewary and had not problems.

Bueno
I wondered why it was called THE Matador instead of EL Matador. Maybe it was lost in translation. He he Seriously: great Happy Hour food items. Totally tasty and a good deal! I would give this place 5 stars if the drink was stronger!

Lovin the Matador
As a Texas transplant, I am always looking for good food that can remind me of the Tex-Mex I left behind. And the enchiladas do just that! They're amazing. Great place to people watch and be seen. Little too noisy if you want to have a good conversation though.

This place is not wheelcahir accessible
I wen tto this restaurant and it is not accessible to a wheelchair. There are all boothes and two table, but you have to go up a 2 inch step to sit at it. I tried to sit in my wheelchair from the floor the table was at my neck

Great Food and Atmosphere
The food is tasty and they hae a fantastic wine selection, but the food is hot, hot, hot! I even ordered a dish that didn't come with hot spices and it was almost too hot to eat. I think they need to ease up on the habanero so people can really enjoy the food, because it is very good.

Great Mexican food and drink
The Matador in West Seattle is pretty good. The food is tasty and the servers have always been friendly. The drinks are good, but the restaurant can get busy. The best tables are in front where all the action is, and the quieter tables are in the back, but it seems a bit lonely back there. The very best tables would probably be the two in the very front window, especially when the windows are open and the sun is out. The margaritas are some of the best.
