Reviews for Matador Ballard in Seattle, WA
This is our favorite restaurant in Ballard and we have been here 8 times in 3 months. The drink menu has so many choices you... must try. They have the best pork nachos. You gotta see the interior of the restaurant, it's very unique. Read more
There’s a few things I enjoy about this restaurant . - Lively and fun ambience - The happy hour. Its nacho menu is great every... time. - Location. It’s at the main restaurant street, so you can grab a bite here and hop over to another spot easilyafter. It’s a fun casual spot to come every now and then. Read more
Great atmosphere. Delicious food and excellent service. Fairly good value for what you get. Quite large portions for the... Fajita. Everything was fresh and enjoyable! Great margaritas! Read more
Extensive drinks menu and they are good. I would say that the options for vegetarians/vegans are quite limited but the staff was... great in helping me out. Chips and salsa is complimentary and the staff replaces it while you are waiting for the food. Liked mycheese quesadilla in this chill ambiance. Also, there is a paid parking out right across from Matador. $4/hr Read more
We went there a few times before they changed new location. Their new location feels little smaller than previous location,... maybe? I see some upstairs but not sure that is available for dine in or their office(?) I like new location more. Nicer decorand same friendly service. Lighting is bit dark for reading menu but good atmosphere. We would like to go their new locationagain. Their bacon wrapped jalapeños are my favorite! Read more
Great place to have a few drinks and great Spanish appetizers and dishes. We went for happy hour (note they only have food on... happy hour special - drinks are excluded from the happy hour - you'll have to pay full price for the drinks). The nachos werethe best size for value. Everything was delicious! Gave 4 stars only because the drinks were not on the happy hour menu. Read more
I came here for lunch and was quite impressed. The service was great and the food was delicious. Though the price looks a... little higher than average, you definitely get what you paid for in quality and quantity. Their rice and beans are delicious,you can tell it is not canned beans from the way it tastes. I had the baja fish tacos featured in the photo. We also sharedtheir spicy shrimps plate, and fried beans dip which were both delicious. Read more
Love that they have some solid vegan options! My favorites are the Brussels sprouts (no cheese), beyond beef street tacos (no... cheese), taco salad (ask for it vegan and I usually add corn or extra rice) and their guac is awesome (no cheese). Their housesalsa is amazing as well! This time I was served my Mikenna and she was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and helpedme make sure I was ordering vegan. Matador cocktails are some of the best in town. I recommend the tamarind ginger margarita orthe smoky margarita made with mezcal. Tuesdays are awesome with 1/2 off all tequilas and mezcals $16 and up and the flights arehalf off, too. Happy hour is a must with food discounts and vegan-friendly options. Read more
