If you want good authentic Mexican food this is not the place to come this is where you come for the white version of “I’ve had this, I can make it” this is a safe space for the folks too scared to go up to a food truck, or worried the lettuce may be to spicy for their 136 month old boy named Hubert. I wish you the best.

I have been going to this place for years, and I must admit that the food still taste just about as good as it always has and the staff is still friendly and gets the orders out quickly

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.

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.
