Matador has succumbed to the overwhelming demand of the South Sounders who have fallen in love with the joint and they'll be opening for lunch next week. They are shooting for Jan. 16.

The T-Town Matador is the first to open daily for lunch. The peeps who frequent their Ballard and West Seattle locations must not have taste buds as refined or demanding as ours. Nee-ner, Nee-ner.

Now we won't have to wait until 4 p.m. for the Tex Mex treats, and I'm sure everyone who works or lives downtown can appreciate yet another dining option to break up the busy day â€" I know I will. Just be sure to bring a whole box of Altoids to disguise the tequila breath. Salud! â€" Natasha
