Information about this business (3)

Our Mexican restaurant offers the best Mexican cuisine around! We use the freshest ingredients in all of our authentic Mexican dishes. We have an impressive collection of tequila. Whether you're looking for tacos, seafood, or an ice cold margarita, our family restaurant has it all...

Established in 1966, its exterior and interior had remained the same for 40 years -- Unpretentious on the outside, yet escapist by way of its comforting aromas and deep booths inside. There'?s definitely something to be said about that, but its new exterior paint color and interior addition are very nice.-Shellie B.

El Matador Restaurant features authentic Mexican Food that was created from original recipes developed especially for El Matador. These recipes have been handed down to our cooking staff since inspired in 1966!
In 2007 the restaurant doubled in size by adding a new dining room with seating for 68. The new bar features over 210 tequilas, the largest selection of tequila in Orange County.

This place has seen it's day and by that I mean 30 years ago. When I walked in I thought I was having a dream reliving the 80s as a kid. I swear I was looking for the Pacman machine or a pinball...
