El Matador Authentic restaurant

The best menudo in town. Friendly service that is very tentative to your needs. Great menu selection. Their green sauce wet burrito is phenomenal its so good.

The food here is always good! The price is a little more expensive than some places but their food is of higher quality than most Mexican restaurants.

Was a big fan of this place in Monrovia years past. Stopped in for brunch on Sat morning to check in. Service was 5 out of 5. Very attentive, cheerful and accommodating. A/C was on and running strong. Authentic as I always remember it. The location has great parking and the menu includes all the classic favorites. Their chips and salsa uses the standard chile del arbol red. Good, a medium-hot, but not spicy. Ordered the Chile Verde con huevos and it was, again, authentic. Wife had the machaca and that was above average and very fair. Overall, the portions are above average and the food is cooked pretty much right down the middle. I am certain this is on purpose to remain appealing to the mass audience. The place could use a management visit to smoothen out some of the rough edges, like the out of order fountain machine, and the stacked tables and chairs out front, as well as a power-cleaning to the floors. Pricing is slightly above average, but worth the trip. $49 for 2, includi
