About this business

The flagship location of The Matador in Seattle is extremely popular with locals. The unique ambiance, with skillfully-designed tables, antique lights, fireplace and plasma screen televisions is a blend of conventional and modern sensibilities. There is decent choice of Tex-Mex cuisine available too, with options like charbroiled rib-eye, beef tenderloin medallions and skillet seared fajitas. The sandwiches and starter plates are also something to try out here. Check website for more information.

Great find! – Finally a southwestern place in Seattle that isn't "Baja!" Hands down my new favorite place for fajitas and enchilidas -- the best I've had since moving away from Texas, y'all.

Hip in Ballard – True they only opened a month ago but I was surprised by how packed it was. Warm atmosphere and cool interiors. The food was wonderful! It was a bit loud and our group had to yell to hear each other. Overall a great new spot with lots of promise. I'll go back.
