El Matador - Costa Mesa

The best cold shrimp and tomato soup I've ever tasted in my entire life.

I came in randomly during Lunch time when all their ingredients are fresh and occupancy was very low and I was amazed at the service provided by not only the Server but the Owner himself. I just got a basic Asada Burrito plate to test the waters(I mean rice, beans, meat, tortilla, salsa, guacamole, chips, etc. tells you the quality in a nutshell...and I personally devoured it so fast if someone saw me they'd think I was a starving homeless man.

Delicious food , genuine Mexican vibe, great service, and drinks on point! We love this place. We will go back soon!

We absolutely enjoy dining here; it’s a fantastic spot for satisfying your craving for Mexican food. Plus, they’re very generous with the chips and fresh salsa, which we really appreciate!

Early Morning Play at Lions Park and Lunch at El Matador was Superb !!!
