This is not authentic Mexican food, so if you’re looking for that, you’ll be disappointed. I got a combo plate. No rice or beans came with it or chips. The hard shell taco was great and so was the other item (sancho?), but the burrito was meh at best. It was super dry. I also got a couple of enchiladas to go. Those were pretty good but not great. Service was fast and friendly, portions large.

$17 for 2 flat enchiladas and a small scoop of beans. That was the dinner, no rice, nothing else. Ridiculous. Online menu is inaccurate. Beans were gross!

El Matador is a place I have eaten at many times years ago when I lived in Columbus. It is absolutely NOT authentic Mexican food, so don’t expect that. I like to call it Mexican food for White people. But anyways, since it’s not authentic, they do kind of have their own flavor profile going on in their offerings. One that many locals swear by. My favorite item on the menu is the Chimichanga meal which comes with beans and rice on the side. This thing is massive and you’ll for sure get stuffed. Hadn’t been to Columbus for over 9 years, happened to be there this last weekend and it happened to be my 50th birthday, so for my birthday, I just had to have my favorite dish from El Matador. Tasted exactly the way I remembered them from over 9 years ago. Delish!! Then, to top it off, they even brought me out a free Fried Ice Cream that I shared with the wife and kids (I’m diabetic). Don’t know when I’ll ever be returning to Columbus, if at all, but if I do, I’ll most certainly be looking up El Matador for my Chimichanga fix.

Clean, friendly, fast service.
I had the enchiladas dinner.
It was tasty, not your usual mexican food. I loved the smokiness on the finish of the refried beans.
Good portions and value.
I will stop and have dinner again.
As far as fajitas? I use all of those toppings. What a pointed review that was in my opinion.

An extensive menu and consistently good food.
They only had one server, but she hustled and we never had to wait too long for service. They have a salsa station with 2 or 3 kinds of salsa that is included in some meals, or it can be purchased separately; all the chips you can eat with delicious salsa.
Atmosphere is pleasant, but low- key. Locally owned. I recommend El Matador without hesitation.

I’ve worked here and have been eating here since I was a kid, now grown and this place has been disappointing the past couple times we’ve ate here. Whether you dine in and the kids are yelling profanity, being obnoxious back in the kitchen to the meat not even tasting like meat anymore. All you can taste is the scoops of Textured Vegetable Protein you add into the ground beef 🙁 We will only be returning for the rosada dip and fried ice cream unfortunately.

I have been coming to El Matadors since I was born. Absolutely love everything about it!
You have to try the Rosada dip, you will love it! I don’t drink anymore, but their strawberry margaritas are awesome.
Great place, I enjoy it every time I am in Columbus. I wish there was one in Omaha.
