Hello my name is Frank Galinas, I use to work for the Matador in the late 80's and early 90's I don't know if anybody will remember me but my bosses where Jackie and Stephanie and Ray of course. I just wanted say hi. 😀

I have gone there since I can remember. Used to take tacos to Florida for my dad. Great people great food

I am so sad it has sold. I asked Margret for Vince's chili respect. Was so surprised tonight that she is gone. That was fast. Loved, loved, loved that place. 35 years! You will be missed💋

Vince's chili was the BEST

I have ate a this restaurant since I was a kid. My favorite. I moved to Tennessee 9 years ago: still crave it. Can I get the hot sauce overnighted to me? Please tell me yes and how I go about getting some without having to drive 600 miles

We were wondering why the food changed. Not as good and not worth the drive 32 miles We have been going there since 1981. Won't be back.

Steve Fargo here and I have been going here since 1968 when the only had 2 booths. Was in town and was going to stop by and you were closed WHY o WHY !! 😭 maybe next time.

New owners was there tonight frist time since 1958 left without eating my meal nothing the same last great memory from childhood now gone how sad

Was by about12:30 and not open. What happened???

Closed on Sunday, open at Noon on Saturday and 11am Mon-Fri

So this was my first time eating here. We were greeted by Brooke our waitress. She was friendly and happy to explain the menu and lunch specials. The specials today were Nacho Supreme and kids eat free on Wednesdays. The prices are reasonable for a family and there is a lot to choose from on the menu. They offer beans and rice with your meal or you can just order without them. Had a great time here today. The service was excellent and during the entire time being there Brooke was all smiles. She stopped by to check on us to see if we needed anything else and how was our food. While there the manager came by to check on us too.

It's two blocks from my house. It's my go to for tacos. Even if it was further away it would be worth the drive. It's been in the same spot since 1954, so you know it's good

This place is where I want to go when I die. The botanna is a straight up masterpiece! The tacos are mouth watering, spicy and delectable. If I could give this restaurant ten out five stars, I would.

Gr8 service. Good food, and went out of their way for our gluten allergy. But it's gotta a fast food feel and quite salty.

I don't live in Taylor anymore, but I still drive down just to visit Matador every once in a while. Best tacos around as far as I'm concerned!

My wet burrito was drowned in gravy.. Didn’t know where my burrito,beans or rice was! And my husbands botana was smothered in so much topping. He couldn’t find his chips and they were soggy! Never again will I eat here. I’ll stick with Manuel’s!!!!

Ordered the mini combination plate. Very dissatisfied with the taco no tomato and same with the tostada. Not sure where they learned to make these items but it is standard on tacos and tostadas to have tomatoes. They slapped some beans on a fried tortilla and put about a tablespoon of lettuce and call it a tostada. Shame on them. Never going back. I do not recommend this establishment. Paid $1.00 for a side of sour cream and $9.00 for the meal. Next time going to the other Mexican restaurant El Mariachi 35851 Ford Road West of Middlebelt. I was wondering why had not seen too many cars at this establishment now I know why.

Great atmosphere. Very small margarita 4 price. First thing I ordered a chicken enchilada dinner meal. They dont sell chicken enchilada so charged $1.00 extra. I received the small meal told waitresses she said I thought u said small dinner. It was good. Salsa was delicious.

Everything was great, but their salsa is tasty but all liquid. I prefer cilantro and chunks of onion and tomato in my salsa. Service was great also.

The food was just alright, but service was good. I think Los Amigos food tastes better. Their refried beans was too dry for my liking. At Los Amigos the food tastes much more fresh in my opinion. Everyone has different tastes so try the place out for yourself.

Prices bit higher than other local authentic Mexican restaurant. Food was good and delivered in a timely fashion. Bit slow on drink refills considering it was not busy.

I got a Mexican sandwich. They only offer pork, which was okay but I wanted chicken. They also put potatoes in it. Yummy, but never had it that way. I ordered it take out so the container was full of juice/sauce. It had no lettuce or other toppings. Now it wasn’t nasty, but it wasn’t the usual. My boyfriend orders tacos, very good. His tostados looked and smelled nasty by the time he got to them, so he tossed them. Won’t run back here anytime soon.

Food was okay it wasn't bad but wasn't great. We both had chimichangas. However our waitress was friendly and entertaining. The place wasn't busy so while she was cleaning she was singing with the music overhead. I wouldn't go back for the food but because she was personable.

Ever since the new management it seems to be going down hill slowly. The Quality and the Amount of a meal you get is getting less than it was a few months ago. Hope they improve. Was there on a Friday evening and it was just about empty a couple of years ago you'd be lucky to get seated right away. Just a Different Atmosphere now. Too Bad. I'm going to try it one more time in a Month or two.

This mexican restaurant has been here for more than 25yrs. I have had several of their dishes and all are great. My favorite is Chile Relenos(sp?). Authentic and delcious. Another favorite is the guacamole with fresh fried flour tortilla chips. Good guacamole but fresh made FLOUR chips! I dont know of another restaurant that does this.( You have to ask for them) They provide you with free salsa and corn chips, have great, friendly service and the food is fabulous! A really great family run restaurant!
