In Short
Super-friendly waitresses in flamenco skirts serve up mounds of Mexican food and make sure you're happy, no matter how busy they are. It has all the usual suspects: tacos, enchiladas, burritos, tostadas, Spanish rice and refried beans. But there are a few surprises worth investigating. Combination dinners will satisfy indecisive diners and the nacho supreme, a generous platter of chips, cheese and ground beef, is topped with fresh, homemade guacamole. And if you love sweets, crunchy Mexican fried ice cream is a must.

The El Matador in Ogden and the one in Bountiful are owned by two brothers, I've known them for over forty years. It's not authentic Mexican, but it's good food. If you found your food bland, next time try the chili verde. You don't stay in business as long as they have with the crowds they serve if the service and food are bad. Kids are always welcome.

The exterior makes this a deceptive place -- looks great on the outside, but everything inside is disappointing (layout, decor, etc). Don't get the management mad, I've heard them get angry at critics and run them out the front door. This is weird place to eat. The food is 'cheese melt mexican' everything they serve seems to smothered with melted cheese -- with tomato paste that has almost no flavor. There are so many Mexican restaurants in South Davis County -- don't waste your money on this one.

There is a reason that El Matador has been in business for over 20 years - It's clean, it's good, it's family friendly, and you get a lot of food for your buck. I have been going to El Matador for over 16 years and enjoy it every time I eat. The owner is someone who takes pride in his business and I often see him interacting with customers, handing out candy to the little ones, and making sure that people are satisfied. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this may not be at the top of the list. However, having traveled to Mexico on occasion, authentic Mexican food in some cases, leaves things to be desired. My favorite dish is the Chicken Chimichanga with the fresh guacamole on the side, and I like to polish it off with a piece of hot sopapilla. Also good are the fajitas, the cheesburger and fries, and the simple chicken burrito enchilada style. They serve chips and salsa in plenty, and I have never had bad service. For the value, the taste, the service, and the selection - this is an A+ establishment.
