    Much much better than last week. Wish they would go back to the old more expansive menu. This one is so much smaller. Also miss the live music.

    Service was less than stellar and we have been there many times. The menu was 1/3 the size it was in the past and that alone may prevent us from going again. We have a reservation for next week coincidentally. We will see.

    Went for Mother’s Day brunch based on the listing in Open Table. They do not serve brunch, it was an error. We did not stay and went elsewhere for a great brunch. We’ve been many times before and food is great, but not what we were looking for today.

    Service was poor. Had to remind them repeatedly to bring our drinks. They didn’t have a printed kids’s menu. The food was overall expensive but nothing special . I do not recommend.

    First time there are do not plan to return. Our server was generally absent during our stay, first taking more than five minutes to visit our table after sitting down and even longer to get our drinks. The food itself was generally forgetful. The seared scallops and the beef empanadas were indistinguishable from what you can but at the frozen foods section in Costco. The beet salad and ensalada verde were both acceptable. The paella was paella in name early. The rice was bland and lacked saffron while the seafood and chorizo were on the same level as our appetizers. Was hoping for something more but left disappointed.

    We brought a friend to Matadora for the first time, and she plans to introduce her family and friends to her "new favorite restaurant." Our all tapas meal, followed by a cheese plate was great! And a special shout out to Kiki, our server, for going above and beyond with her helpfulness. We'll return soon!
    MatadoraResponded on April 24, 2025
    Hi Rebbeca, We love to hear that we are her new favorite restaurant. And we will make sure Kiki hears about this amazing review. She along with the rest of our staff have great passion about Matadora and giving spectacular service. We can't wait to have you back!

    Today was the first time there. The food was great and the service was excellent. We were able to stay and to chat for almost 4 and half hours there. We will definitely dine there again. They have indoor garage free parking. It was nice in such a raining day.
