We can’t remember a time when the Matador wasn’t part of our lives, and we’re glad. Because life without the refried beans from Matador would be a life barely worth living. The burros here are so big, you’ll end up taking half home with you. Try the Colorado Burrito, spicy and chili-filled and scrumptious, or the carne asada, a signature dish here. Not in the mood for Mexican food? Matador also serves Greek dishes. We recommend the gyro, a golden pita stuffed with thin-sliced beef, onion, tomato, pickle, and served with a side of fries. Feeling like a slice of America? Matador makes one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches in town.

I've been here for multiple breakfasts for work meetings, but I bet this would also make a great hangover-cure spot. The hashbrowns are greasy and piled high, just the way I like them. They also have some great omelette options.

At this point, we don't know who's been around longer: AL3, Phoenix's Turntable Patriarch and international DJ all-star, or The Matador � the iconic downtown Mexican food joint that's been busting out burritos for almost three decades. All we know for sure is that magic happened when these two joined forces. Freakin' good clubbin' in a restaurant? Are we serious? We sure are. The tables are cleared, and the dance floors are filled by some of the most muy sabrosa clubbers around. Not sure yet? Don't just trust us, ask the nearly 1,000 people who line up outside along Adams on a Friday night waiting to get in and shake that thang to the best booty-rockin' reggaeton, old-school beats, hip-hop hits, and cumbia 'round back. Be advised � there's no room for chillin'; the dance floor's packed with caliente chicas aplenty who come here to dance.
