My husband and I love going to this restaurant. The staff is friendly , the restaurant is always clean. The food is amazing. We have never had anything we didn't love.We would definitely recommend El Matador's!!
El Matador is another hidden gem on 112 in Patchogue. I never had a bad meal and the drinks are awesome. Emily and the whole staff are so welcoming and accommodating. Don't forget to order a piece of flan or tres leches for dessert!!!!
A hidden gem! Food is amazing and service is excellent. Place is clean, you are not rushed. We both had seafood, mine the daily special and the baked clams and rice balls. Will definitely be returning!!
I had a delicious dinner at El Matador tonight. It was a spur of the moment decision and didn't really get to try that much but I had the skirt steak and it was absolutely delicious and my date also enjoyed her meal. The chips and salsa they give you when you are first seated were also very fresh and tasty. I say in the bar area and the bartender was our waitress and she was very attentive and kind. I can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes and add to this review.
Food was great!!! Service perfect and good atmosphere. Highly recommended. Will be going back. Prices are good and they have Argentinian Malbec wine
Excellent service, Clean establishment! The food was authentic and I loved the Avocado Green Salad. We ordered the Carne AsadaAnd had the Tres Leche Cake for desert! I wish they had live music but we settled for the singing waiter!
Last night Bon G and I chose El Matador in Patchogue for our Friday Dinner. Easily found next to 112 Nissan, they have their own parking lot, a big plus. We had a google rezzy and were seated immediately. We had 2 wonderful servers who took care of our every need and also gave us explains on the menu items. To get in the mood we had a couple of shots of Patron each which really helped. We were hungry, so for appys we had Fried Calamari and Baked Clams...Clams were delish but Calamari was rather small portion. They had specials and we availed ourselves to 2 of them; I had Fried Porgie and Bon had Short Ribs..Both were prepared perfectly and were outstanding.... For dessert we had the Best Flan I can remember eating! So Goooood! We had a great time in a laid back, but loud venue and will certainily be returning to try the other great menu items!
Good for dine in and take out! I like the Platano relleno, ropa vieja and stuffed shrimp! The drinks were pretty hit or miss last time I went (maybe just the bartender) The service is usually very good, friendly and efficient.
Outstanding restaurant. Recommended by some great friends, we decided to have dinner at this location. I was amazed that this restaurant, tucked away in a small plaza, punched out great authentic flavors. The staff was super friendly with outstanding attitudes. Everyone had smiles and treated their customers with the highest quality of service. I highly recommend this establishment. The food is exceptional, the people are fantastic and the experience was worth five stars.
Date Night brought my boyfriend and I here...so happy with our choice! From start to finish everything was delicious. The complimentary chips and salsa was delicious! The salsa wasn't spicy, but it had excellent flavor. I want to dip everything in it. For an appetizer we had Arepitas y Chorizo. It was chorizo with onions served with a cornmeal flat bread. Excellent flavor! I found out they had chicken tortilla soup as their soup of the day. I've been craving chicken tortilla soup for weeks..so I had to get it. I was served the wrong soup at first...shrimp bisque. Our server fixed it right away and apologized. The chicken tortilla soup was absolutely delicious! For my entree I had Camarones Relleno. This meal consisted of shrimp with a crab meat and shrimp stuffing in a creamy lobster bisque sauce. I was also able to pick two sides. I went with black beans and mixed veggies. Everything on my plate had amazing flavor. My boyfriend ordered Besito Salvadoreño. This meal consisted of top sirloin steak served with a fried egg, avocado, chorizo, sweet plantain, rice, and beans. It was delicious as well. For drinks I had a strawberry sangria and my boyfriend had a mojito. Service and food was excellent! We can't wait to go back.
