Very good Mexican food and it's just around the corner from me so that's an added bonus! Family friendly and good food at even better prices. The nachos and botano are HUGE!!!
YOU CAN START BY HIRING A MEXICAN FOR A COOK OR CHEF HAVE REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD... AND YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT DONT KNOW WHAT CARNE ASADA IS AND YOU SUPPOSE TO BE MEXICAN RESTAURANT.. WORST FOOD EVER.. BOTANA WAS NOT EVEN A BOTANA THE SHREDDED BEEF WAS FROM A CAN AND THE REFRIED BEANS... ITS TRUE I AM PUERTR RICAN AND I COOK BETTER MEXICAN FOOD THEN YOU DO.....
Absolutely horrible service! The drink runner (Kelsey) was extremely rude and looked extremely bothered to be serving our table. The service was extremely slow and the staff was very unfriendly.
Favorite Mexican Restaurant – Do not even take into consideration the negative reviews left about this restaurant. If you are a vegetarian, don't go to a Mexican restaurant, go to Ann Arbor. This is the best Mexican food around. I have been to Amigos, Mexican Gardens, Xochimilco's, and Taco Especial. They do not compare when it comes to good food. The Matador's food is full of taste and very modestly priced. It is as close to authentic as you can get in Metro Detroit. I love the atmosphere and the staff. They are very nice a... read more
Just Terrible – I'm only giving this place a one star rating because I can't give it no stars. I'm a lactose intollerant vegetarian. So, I ordered the bean burrito no cheese. Thinking that the bean burrito would have some whole beans mixed with refried beans and veggies or something. No, this was a lump of microwaved refried beans from a can wrapped in a tortilla. My mother agreed that her taco's were terrible as well. And that was with a half hour wait time. While we were there, there was a birthday. I couldn't believe that... read more
Don't be misled by the bad reviews! – For all those claiming that this restaurant is the worst imitation or is terrible, I couldn't disagree more. In all reality, everyone claiming to look for 100% authentic Mexican cuisine should simply travel abroad in Mexico, as that is the only way you are going to find it. All "authentic" restaurants here in US are simply a blend of traditional family dishes and the American culture. Albeit they are authentic to the family who's restaurant you are eating in, doesn't mean that they are 1... read more
The Best I Ever Ate – I grew up in Dearborn Heights and my father brought tacos home once in awhile when he worked late which was my first experience with Mexican food of any kind. It was only a counter and I believe a couple tiny tables at the time. The owners closed for part of the year to return to Mexico every year. The tacos were my my first love of Mexican food and still to this day, when I visit my mother, who still lives at the old place, I still try to get my favorite tacos. It's been about 40 years now and I still ... read more
Worst Mexican food in town! – The food is just awful. Those looking for anything resembling decent Mexican food will be very disappointed. They put parmesan cheese on the tacos, mozzarella cheese on the burritos, and a weird tasteless "chili" sauce on nearly everything else. The refried beans are canned. The chicken is tasteless. The salsa has the texture and appearance of tomato juice. It's completely liquid with no solid particles in it -- that's right, not so much as a tomato seed or bit of onion. The tortilla chips are s... read more
POOR SERVICE – Went to Matador's for dinner last night with my family. The restaurant was not that busy. After patiently waiting a half hour for our nacho and two tacos, we noticed that three other customers that had came in after us were getting their food. I asked our waitress if our order had gotten lost and pointed out that other diners were being served before we were. Our waitress explained that our order will be out shortly. WELL IT NEVER CAME..... After seeing the third customer get their food before us, we got up an... read more
