Reviews
"On a spur of the moment for Christmas, we stopped in at Matador to have lunch. We had plans elsewhere but saw Matador and decided to check them out. LOVE mexican food! First of all, the atmosphere is awesome. We grabbed the fire pit table. The seasonal menu is small but highly encourage you to check it out, it had some really neat dishes. For instance, the chicken and sweet potato Tamale - superb. The chips were not greasy and great flavor. The salsa was fabulous, a real kick to it. Mentioned to Mgr how much I really wanted a hot bowl of soup. He brought cup of chicken tortilla to try. Thought it was absolutely spectacular coming from San Diego! It has a kick to it and not too salty. He was so awesome, asking, "What could we do to make it better?" Make it ALBONDIGAS! The only downside was it was not crowded and our waitress didn't come back twice to ask our party of six if we wanted more to drink or if there's anything else she could do. We had to track her down twice and it took about 10 minutes for her to even come over. We never got asked to refill our drinks. That's the only downside or the service would have gotta 5. If you are in Boise, highly recommend checking them out."
"Wow. Matador is one of my go to places that used to be reliable and consistent. Apparently maybe i havent gone in a couple years because boy have things changed. I got a to go order because I was sick, which is maybe why the bartender did not feel lile giving me happy hour pricing on the haba prawns. She also charged me for thebiced tea they werent sure if they had dumped yet or not while I waited the 30 minutes it took to make my haba prawns and the special which was supposed to be stuffed pickled peppers... My total was almost $40 with tip, i am glad I did not tip well...her service was awful, she was very busy but spent a lot of time talking to employees rather than her customers anyway, once she dropped the tea she basically never came back, some sugar would have been nice, but she never did a check back. When I got to my friends house I opened the bag to find they forgot the tortillas and I took a pic of both dishes I got...the boxes are not big boxes, so keep that in mind ...the peppers...pepper...it is actually only 1 split in half..was $14, my old tea w no sugar was $4.50 ( she didnt offer to put in a to go cup either so I had only drinken about 1/3 due to lack of sweetner) and the haba prawns had 6 or 7 normal sized shrimp and a little wedge of polenta for $15. Ive had the shrimp dish on happy hour several times in the past, its delicious and we'll worth the $7 or so they charge...this was still tasty, but totally not worth the cost. I felt ripped off, and will probably try and find another go to late night place for my travels thru boise in the future. So disappointed, and u guys used to have a 5 star rating from,me...one of the few!"
"Okay. Nice patio. Overpriced for what it was. I had the beef enchiladas. However, the happy hour is great and well priced. 4 stars for normal and 5 for happy hour"
"I had a good experience here on June 8th. The food and service were good too. I liked the ambience of the restaurant. When I am back in the area I would visit again."
"This place is Amazing!!! Great food, great service, the ambiance is incredible. Everything was just perfect! We travel a lot and this one is in our top 5 a must try if your in Boise 100% worth it!!!"
