Good Mexican Food There is a wide selection of reasonably priced authenic Mexican food. Your chip and salsa dish is continuously refilled and comes with the meal at no extra cost. Seating is somewhat limited with a small non smoking section. PROS: Authenic, reasonable CONS: Small non smoking section

I'm a woman. I went to Matador Restaurant yesterday afternoon. I was by myself, and craving some of the wonderful food that I had grown up eating there. We used to take bottles to Halls Party store, right next door, and go to the Matador window and order taco's to go. I was told, "just one, oh okay, seat yourself, I'll be right with you." I went to the back of the restaurant, as I was reading a book and wanted to be away from conversations, and was anxiously awaiting some hot chips and salsa, followed by the combination dinn... read more

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
