We gave one star because the only thing we liked was our waitress. But not our hostess who gave us a stink face when we requested a quieter table. The floors were slippery, the tables were sticky. The chips were stale. The food tasted like leftovers pulled put of the fridge and thrown together as a meal. Breaded chicken nuggets in a taco? Rice a Roni and canned black beans? My body went into a MSG coma afterwards. I hate leaving bad reviews but just trying to be honest. I hope that waitress gets a job at a better restaurant.

I picked two items in the happy hour menu (crispy Brussel sprouts with Haba prawns) and had a very good meals. The seasoning was just right!

I decided to visit my sister this weekend in Washington state and my had a little girls weekend trip, MUCH FUN!!! One of the restaurants we had dinner at was called The Matador. It's serves Mexican Food. The food was amazing!!!! And the presentation of everything was to die for it just made you want to eat your food right away. The ambiance of the whole restaurant reminded me of day of the dead meets the old wild west, twisted with a little modern flare it hard it's own killer vibe to the scene. The music up to date, the drinks had an interesting flare and good blends to them and of course you could always go with your classic wine and beer of choice if you so choose to. This is a must try if your a foodie and you like to be on the scene as well!!

They are tasty. Rich braised/confit duck, sweet/spicy pineapple salsa, acidic pickled red onions, garlicky crema...what's not to like? If you're into that kind of thing, that thing being deliciousness...
