We were drawn in by the beautiful architecture. The building was beautiful, inside and out. We were a bit put off by the lack of people there on a Saturday night, but gave it a chance. The service was good. The drinks were good. The food, on the other hand, was not too good. It was definatly not authentic Mexican food. There was way too much red onion in everything and the rest was just not good. Beautiful building and fine service but not good food. I will not be returning.

One of the worst Restaurants I have encountered - the food was horrible - the ambience was worse - and the service, although not horrible took entirely to long. Do yourself a favor and avoid El Matador.
