Matador West Seattle

"A+ at this location for drinks, food, and service. Excellent cozy atmosphere for dinner or drinks. The bartender and waitress are super attentive. Update: On the night of Saturday, February 24th, at midnight, I revisited this establishment and unfortunately, I was let down by the level of service provided by the bartender on duty. Despite ordering a Long Island drink, the bartender forgot to bring a straw along with it. When I asked for the straws, she didn't seem very attentive to my request. Furthermore, I noticed that the alcohol content and flavor of the drink did not have the same kick as it did on my previous visits to the establishment. This was quite disappointing to me. Overall, my experience suggests that the level of attentiveness and quality of service at this establishment may vary depending on who is working at the time."

"Amazing food! The dip flight was absolutely wonderful. One of us got carne asada fajitas and thought it was great. Another got the matador bowl with carne asada and thought it was tasty too. Another got carne asada and shrimp fajitas and loved it. Drinks were delicious, we had the passion fruit margarita and the blood orange margarita!"

"Beautiful restaurant, but a little too dark inside. Happy hour menu is fantastic but I didn't find the food to be flavorful enough. It's a great place to meet up with friends and a great spot in Alaska Junction."

"We had a really delightful time here last night. Food was good, albeit on the spicy side. Atmosphere was great and service was on point. The taco salad I had was ginormous. My husband devoured his enchiladas and I saw our friends put away the tacos and a steak sandwich. Service was prompt so we got seated quickly, got our orders taken quickly, food was quick, and we were out of there and onto our next activity in good time!"

"The interior is incredible. Chips and Salsa are great fresh. The fish tacos are the best thing I've tried. Perfect flavor balance. Steak tacos need a sauce element to them and the shrimp tacos are awful. They are drenched in oil. The chorizo queso was not good. The jalapeño took away from the other flavors. The quesadillas are okay but not the best"
