57 Years of Tradition

Mexican Restaurant & Bar with 500 Tequilas

The Great Tradition Continues

The doors to El Matador opened in Costa Mesa, CA at this exact location in the spring of 1966, and for over 50 years we’ve served the same quality Mexican food created from original family recipes. Our Tequila Wall of Fame boasts an impressive collection of over 450 different tequilas, and we are passionate about educating our guests about the art of tequila! Whether it’s your first visit or 100th, we’re so grateful to have you with us and hope you enjoy your experience at El Matador! Bienvenido!
