I love this place! I am always a happy camper when I walk out. You can walk in and get seated quick, even when they are busy. The food is always out hot, fast, and the drinks aren't bad either. One of my top places to go.

Always a great place for Mexican food. Their chips are fabulous and ordering a strange combination is never a problem.
Great job by the staff. Our server was efficient, and the food was excellent. The hot sauce was a little bland, but it just needed a little salt, nothing to worry about. Brisket tacos had great flavor, and everyone I was with was impressed as well. I like the large glasses they serve beverages in. Very smart. I'm sure the...

El Mat's is a staple for those that live in the area. The food is consistently good and the service is excellent! Favorite...shredded beef tacos...yum!

This was a popular restaurant in years past, but has declined steadily over the years. The food is very bland, and the restaurant looks dingy and dirty.
My family has eaten at El Matador in Denton for two decades. It was our kids' favorite, with attentive servers who remembered my daughter's "the usual." I consistently found the food to be fast, consistent, and tasty. We returned after a long time away the other night and were shocked to find the food close to tasteless, some dishes served...

Great choice for a casual meal. The wait is typically never long and the service is always incredibly fast. I go to El Matador for its consistency in the quality of the food (always good tasting) and service. The prices are very reasonable.
We don't get to Denton often anymore, but this is our favorite Mexican in the country. We always make time. The chips, salsa and queso are the best. Lunch fajitas for one is plenty big enough for two esp if you have enough chips and salsa! The servers are the best and most have been there forever. They always seem...
