El Matador | Mexican Restaurant

"irst time visit to a very well known and long term established Mexican restaurant in which I have no idea why we've never visited. Seated right away due to a large dining interior and the smell of flavorful foods wafting throughout, plus the painted walls of flashy dancers and hometown scenes made our visit all the more pleasant and welcoming. When our orders of Chicken fajitas and Supreme Quesadillas(which had Shrimp and chicken) arrived very quickly we knew we had picked an awesome restaurant for our Saturday night dinner, not to mention the delicious hot and very flavorful foods. Definitely will partake of this sort of historical landmark of a 5 star restaurant."

"This was the first time I've been at this location and I regret it. I regret not stopping before. The food was great and the service was great. I ordered the steak fajita and it was amazing. Everything was hot and fresh and I received my order very quickly. As great as the food was the sweet tea was off the chain. I don't know who made it but they deserve a raise. Kudos to everyone there. Great experience."

"I've passed El Matador in Fort Oglethorpe countless times and finally decided to give it a try. There was no wait and we were seated right away, which was a nice surprise. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly. The salsa was excellent--definitely a standout. The chips were just okay at first, but the second batch was warm and much better. As for the entrees, they were decent--not the best I've had in town, but still enjoyable. I will say the Mexican rice was really good and flavorful. The restaurant was clean, the staff welcoming, and overall it was a pleasant experience. I wouldn't say it's my top pick for Mexican food in the area, but I'd definitely return occasionally. If you're checking out this spot, be sure to like my photos and follow me--I'm working on building up my local food content and really appreciate the support!"

"This place is always our go to when we are in the area. 5 Starts everything. The chicken flautas are so so juicy. The chicken has never been dry, the strawberry water and peach water are our favorite. So so good and they do not disappoint with the portions. This is the place you go when you are hungry and want good quality food asap! Everyone there is always great. I have had an amazing experience every time."

"The food was surprisingly delicious and the service was great. The items like the rice and refried beans, typically served at Mexican restaurants, were flavorful and not over cooked like many other restaurants. The Quesadillas and Chimichangas were excellent. Definitely worth checking out."
