My family has been coming to this place for years (probably over 20) and it is always consistently excellent. Though it has switched owners over time, it has kept most of the dishes that have earned it a deserved loyal following.
Everything we ever eat, most of it repetitive, has come out as good as the last time. Part of my family prefers the pizza, I tend to order the Alberta beef steak and sometimes we add on some salads or appetizers.
All I can say is, while Matador may not be an ultra fancy steakhouse, by eating here you are trusting a decades old business that continuously brings in a good crowd every night. In fact, most Friday and Saturdays generally have a lineup for a table. People of the neighborhood love eating here, and with good reason. I feel this is as good as it gets for reasonable priced, excellent quality food.
