" Matador didn't live up to the high expectations I had. While the atmosphere was lively and inviting, the food was just okay. My burrito was bland, and I wasn't impressed with the service either. Probably won't be back unless I hear major improvements have been made. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely spot for Mexican food! I enjoyed the carne asada tacos and they were flavorful, but I thought the portion sizes could be slightly larger for the price. Service was friendly and the cocktails were excellent! Would visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a large family gathering at Matador, and it was wonderful! Despite being busy, the service was quick and friendly. The kids loved the tacos, and I couldn't get enough of the guacamole. The only downside was we waited a bit for our table, but once seated, everything went smoothly. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Matador was a delightful experience! The ambiance is lively and inviting, perfect for a night out. I ordered the steak tacos and they were exceptionally delicious, bursting with flavor. The margaritas were also top-notch! All in all, a wonderful place I recommend for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food in Boise. " (*Curated Review*)
