Kari A.

Really good food, huge portions, good prices, and nice drinks. Service was a teeny bit slow but it was busy so that is to be expected. Overall we really enjoyed it!

John F.

I and my Dad have been eating at El Matador since it was started literally decades ago. The food and service have always been exceptional. It was good to get the chance to take Dad there and grab a bite. Best cheese enchiladas and Tex-Mex in general that you're gonna find in Denton.

Nicole

Love the food here and the service is great. The only thing I don't like is how loud it is in there. But, if you don't have an issue with that this is the place for you. I will be going when it is less busy or getting take out. Food : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 4/5 … More
