| - I see a lot of favorable reviews here, which is good...perhaps they were just having a rough night tonight. However, you'd think on a Saturday night, they'd have their A game on. I have to start by saying this is a beautiful restaurant from a decor perspective. Gorgeous inside.
As for the food, it's just okay. A third of the chips in our basket were stale. Kind of disturbing to find those little hidden gems when you're trying to enjoy your salsa. I will say the salsa is quite tasty however. We tried the queso and ordered it without onions. Of course, it came full of onions. We sent it back. We ordered the street tacos, again without onions, and of course they came with onions. Might be a small thing, but you'd think if someone takes time to order food without something, as a server, you'd check to make sure it was right. Nope.
The chicken was oily and dripped out of the taco. The carnitas have decent flavor, but there's a lot of cinnamon in their making so be ready for that. I've been eating Mexican food in Las Vegas for 30 years, and I've seen a lot of places come and go. I hope Matador makes it as its a really cool place, but they need to take a step back and focus on the food. It's what will keep people coming back for years to come. I feel like they are trying to hard to pack as many flavors into the food all at once.
Just focus on making all of your menu items classic and tasty and the rest will take care of itself.
