" Matador North Portland is a hidden gem! I was impressed by the variety on the menu, especially their seafood options, which felt fresh and authentic. The staff was attentive and our drinks were delicious. Happy Hour is a must-try! However, I noticed the portions could be a tad bigger for a few dishes. Overall, still a great place to enjoy good food and a lively atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't usually write reviews, but Matador was fantastic! The food was authentic and flavorful. I had their paella, which was simply incredible and must-try if you're there! The atmosphere was lively and fun, a great place for hanging out with friends. There was a slight wait for food, but it was worth it in the end. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" While my experience at Matador was largely positive, there were a few bumps along the way. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for both casual diners and those looking for a nice date night. I tried the nachos, which were good but didn’t blow me away. The wait for service was longer than expected despite the restaurant not being too busy. Overall, I'd say it's a solid choice but there's room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Matador today, and it was delightful! The atmosphere is fun, and the staff is attentive. I had the crispy brussel sprouts and tacos. Both were fresh and made with high-quality ingredients. I loved the house-made salsa that came with the chips! It's a place where good food and great vibes mingle well together. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I celebrated at Matador for a birthday and had a great time! The menu offers a mix of traditional and modern dishes. I tried the shrimp tacos, which were incredible! The ambiance created a lively backdrop for our celebration, but I did notice service was a little slower than expected. Still, I'll definitely be coming back for those tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic dinner at Matador! The vibrant atmosphere paired with friendly service set the perfect stage for a great night. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they did not disappoint. The meat was cooked to perfection and the flavors were exactly what I was hoping for. My only critique would be the drinks; I expected them to be more robust in flavor. However, that wouldn't stop me from coming back to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my last visit to Matador, I was disappointed with the service. Although the food was commendable, the staff seemed overwhelmed and inattentive. I waited quite a while for my drinks, although the chips and salsa were a delightful addition while I waited. I would love to return, as the food itself was authentic, which is rare around here.
