Matador Tacoma - Tacoma (WA)

5 /5 Jeremy Snyder: My friends and I loved this place. The food was Mexican but it had its own unique spin to the dishes. The ambiance had my favorite kind of design, rustic and chill. It was also neat how we felt a sense of privacy in our booth though there was people all around us. Drinks were also good.

5 /5 MaQuade Eastham: Went for lunch with my mother and had my go-to street tacos and the grande nachos with ground beef and we both sat by the fire and took in the amazing decor and ambiance of the place. I’d been to the Ballard Seattle location many times but not in downtown Tacoma. Parking is very easy and was a non issue. Great location with a historic vibe up on the bluff with some great views around the corner!

4 /5 Misha Averill: Went for happy hour, and got all the yummy margs! Drinks are plentiful and delicious. Not the bestest margaritas but they’ll do! Didn’t get a pic of all our drinks because we were thirsty, and they were chilled to perfection. Got the dip flight appetizer and it was wonderful! Must order are the quesobarria tacos!!! They come in a plate of three standalone!! They’re cooked perfectly crispy on the outside with melted cheese inside! Staff and service were great! Super friendly and very attentive to our beverage needs! Only complaint, as it gets busy, it does get loud in the space. I was feeling like I had to speak louder than normal so my friends would hear me.

5 /5 Tate Spitters: We had a great experience here! The food was excellent we ordered the fajitas, and they came out hot, well seasoned, and in generous portions. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. The service was friendly and very attentive without ever feeling rushed. The restaurant also has a great moody, cozy vibe that makes it perfect for a chill lunch or dinner. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again!

4 /5 Sonya Grigorian: Great service and great food! I loved my enchiladas so it was flavorful and fresh! The only downside was the nachos. Wasn’t a huge fan of it but we got it during happy hour so it was discounted which was nice! The meat we ordered was chicken and was slightly dry for me. My suggestion would be instead of melting cheese on the chips make a cheese sauce! Would make this amazing! Ordered the mojito and it was alright!
