Reviews for El Matador Restaurant in East Patchogue, NY
A little gem for sure. Small restaurant, friendly staff. The time frame we went it was quiet and not busy at all. If you are... looking for a nice relaxed time, then go during the week, before dinner time. The owner was pleasant and welcoming. The food wasflavorful and the juice drinks amazing. No you don?t need to speak Spanish to order or go there, everyone speaks English. Tryit, I think you?ll enjoy it! Read more

So where do I start when I went to a restaurant and actually had an absolute perfect meal. Tonight my family and I went to El... Matador in Patchogue. It's been a few months since I've been there and whenever I go I like to try different things tonight wasno exception. Let's start with alcohol, it was good tonight. I had something called a Michelada... I hope I'm spelling thatcorrectly. It is a Mexican beer mixed with spicy hot sauce I'm guessing Mexican seasonings and tomato juice. I had absolutelynever heard of it but asked the waitress what she recommended and that was her go-to. After she brought it and I drank most ofit I said I hope it was a little bit spicier and she said that normally it is but they don't like to make things too spicy notknowing people can handle it. She said next time order it with spicy and she will make it spicier. My wife had not one but twostrawberry margaritas. Again the waitress recommended half sugar half salt rim and it was out of this world she said. Westarted the meal with an appetizer. This appetizer was a stuffed plantain filled with cheese and chicken and it was just sogood. Kenny stepped outside of his comfort zone tonight. We are very proud of him because on his own he ordered a chickenfajita. It came in the sizzling plate and he actually put like real ingredients in it. I half expected him to dig through andjust put chicken but there was a little bit of everything in it and it was absolutely beautiful. Gabby got chicken Mexicanstreet tacos. The tortillas look fresh and homemade and Gabby said they were on the thinner side so they were a little messy. Mydaughter does not care about getting messy so she thoroughly enjoyed them. A lot of times you worry about the chicken being drybut it was moist and flavorful and so good. My wife ordered besito salvadoreno. Is it traditional Latin dish, grilled topsirloin steak served with a fried egg avocado chorizo sweet plantains and a side of rice and beans. The steak w Read more
Came for a weekday lunch with my wife. The place looked empty but had good music on. The server took us to our table and brought... some nachos with salsa. We ordered mango and passion fruit juice and ceviche as appetizer. The ceviche was full of shrimp buthad a peculiar ketchup taste that I didn't personally like. Ordered the Matador Fajita and the last seafood entree that camewith scallops, muscles, squid, shrimp and rice on the side. We loved the entrees! Very good portions. It's a great place to takeyour partner out for dinner. Read more
