Sometimes I'm just in the mood for sex, and the Matador seems to know how to do me up right. It's got hard wood, dark ambience, and it will wine me and dine me and feed me tequila until I say "take me home." It has everything a swinging bachelor could offer, including the large mirrors, velvet drapes, a fireplace and sensual music. This place IS my Latin lover. Tasty signature margaritas using only the finest liquors are just a part of what makes this place roll. Happy Hour here is not typical, mind you. You won't find cheap chili fries and onion rings here, no-sir-ee. Happy Hour at Matador consists of steak tacos that melt in your mouth and Tex-Mex spring rolls that make me orgasm. (We're talkin' sex, remember?) And it's all for under $5. Call me a cheap whore, I don't care.  As pretty as it is, the fire pit gets hot. Sit back and just admire it from a booth.
