About this business

The Matador in NW Portland, formerly Casa del Matador, our first Portland location, sits on the lively corner of NW 23rd and Quimby. When the sun comes out, the eight-foot high windows slide open for open air dining and the crowd vies for window or outdoor seating, while socializing over the city’s freshest Mexican cuisine.

well not so great – My daughter was denied entrance at 1pm because she had a 13 day old baby with her. This place is listed as a bar and restaurant with sidewalk sitting on a city sidewalk. They were rude and dismissive. I will NEVER go back to this franchised bad place in my neighborhood of 30 years.

Fun and Unique place – This place is a lot of fun. Leave the kids at home and check this spot out. Very unique and their happy hour is amazing. Probably my favorite spot in the summer time. They open up the floor to ceiling windows which is great.

not worth the time – I have been to this restaurant twice now, and was severly disapointed both times. The service is horrible. First time I was there all we wanted was drinks, we probably would have ordered over a hundred dollars in drinks, but our waitress never came around. Second time same problem. I was there for a birthday, and our plan was to get dinner and drinks. We were seated and about 5-10 minutes later the waitress came over to take our drink order and food order. I told her we were there for a special occasion,... read more

I've always had a great experience here – I usually go here with friends for their happy hour 4pm-6pm and 10pm-1am. Their menu is awesome, it's not quite authentic tex-mex, but let's face it authentic tex-mex is actually cheap in price because it's cheap. Most mex dishes were designed to be cost effective. Fresh shrimp quesadillas from the happy hour menu are awesome and the goat cheese stuffed jalapenos are so tasty. They taste like they are fire roasted, they are wrapped in bacon (always a plus) and they have a good kick t... read more

Great place for late night drinks & eats – Casa Del Matador opened a couple of years ago. I usually find myself going there either on a Sunday night, or week night after 10 pm when nothing else seems to be open. The space is nice, especially in summer, when the windows are open. Service is always nice and friendly. Food is what you'd expect from a corporate restaurant. Basic Mexican. Not really good. Not horrible. Wine pours are generous.

Disappointed.... – I had been hearing great things about this place so when a gentleman friend of mine asked to take me to Mexican I suggested Casa Del Matador. I checked out the menus online before heading there. Happy Hour seemed cheap and tasty; the dinner menu a bit pricey but we decided to give it a shot. We were greeted by a friendly waitress. " Hi. How are we doing? Do you both have your ID's on you?" No problem except for the fact we hadn't been seated in the bar but the freezing cold dining room. I understand the ID... read more

Great tequilla, Good atmosphere, Fun service – My experience here was great. I love the atmosphere and the candles. Everyone was very helpful and attentive. The bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. If u want good drinks and good food and a fun fire matador is your place.

Tex-Mex hangout on trendy 23rd. – Happy hour bar hoppers and Northwest night owls frequent this purveyor of all things Tex-Mex, from chicken and corn-stuffed spring rolls to carne asada and scores of tequila. Inside, antique light fixtures, dark custom ironwork and floor-to-ceiling windows that swing open during the summer make this corner restaurant a lively hangout in any season. Inside, the youthful clientele belly up to the handmade, wood-inlaid bar to watch the game on one of two plasma TVs with a plate of ancho-chipotl... read more

I LOVE BROCCOLINII!!!!! – Ok, so I LOVE the food and the atmosphere but every time I go there I have to ask to be seated. They ignore you if you're at the door, waiting...... and waiting.. until you ask them if it's self seating.. then they say no and ask you if you needed a table..... and then you say yes... and then you have a walk to the table... it's just.. odd.. BUT, in general I really do love this place!
