"I arrived at a not-too-busy time at Matador in Friedrichshain last Thursday (Himmelfahrt/Ascension and thus a public holiday in Germany) and was just astounded at how bad the service was. It wasn't packed- not even busy- when I arrived and the tables began to taper off as I sat there. Then again, I did sit there for quite a while.Upon arrival I was directed to take a place from the bartender and then proceeded to wait 20 minutes to receive a menu (even though I had made eye-contact with two staff members and made motions). After that another fifteen minutes was needed until I could order. The cocktails are very reasonably priced and of reasonable quality, yet I wish I could say the same for the food. I ordered a corn-on-the-cob and waited yet another twenty minutes for it to arrive, which seems an extrordinarily long time for such a simple dish. It was okay, but not worth the wait, nor the cost. Tables around me were also served so much quicker, and whilst I understand tables of many people are more financially viable and rewarding for businesses, it seems bad form to simply treat couples or people eating alone as less when we all go to restaurants to eat! My final- and perhaps most disappointing observation- would be my main course. I ordered the veggie burger and was thoroughly disappointed. It was the kind of terrible veggie burger you can find in the freezer sections of Aldi (literally, I'm almost entirely sure, the exact same ones I wouldn't touch from those freezer sections because I know how terribly they are) which was filled with bad-quality frozen 'soup' vegetables. The fries were also of a quality I can only call 'meh' and 'like chips I used to get in school dinners'. Basically, would I go back? No. Not in a million years. Thankfully the couple on the other side of the glass door from me were lovely and seemed to find me quite entertaining, and when I wanted to get the hell out of there they brought the bill very, very promptly."

Mexican food in a boring way, not eating again. And the service kitchen is slow when it opens. 40 minutes. Nice restaurant.

Obsługa lokalu pozostawia wiele do życzenia - wszystkie kelnerki byly niesympatyczne, powolne i z łaską obslugiwaly klientow.

I have the best time in Berlin. Every night we went to Matador, close to our hostel with friends. Staff are friendly and speak English.

It’s super hard to find good Mexican restaurants in Berlin, so this place is another option that I’m on the list of “average”. They try to make authentic Mexican food

Große Cocktails für 3,90 €, sehr gute Mischungen und super günstig. Haben sehr gut geschmeckt. Das begleitende Essen war lecker und in Ordnung. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt auf jeden Fall.

I ate lunch here about a month ago and regret to have to report that the food is really poor. There are many restaurants in the area and this is the worst I've tried. The service was friendly however, which is why I've awarded 2...stars.

I write this review as a warning don 't waste your time and money at this place! Berlin, Germany is not know for its great Mexican food, but this is ridiculous. The atmosphere was average, nothing special, but not bad; the service was very German,...meaning virtually nonexistent; and the food oh no! We ordered the enchilada combo dish (one beef, one chicken), served with rice and salad, and the 2 Taco dish (one beef, one chicken), served with rice and salad.We didn 't get the beef and chicken tacos we ordered, but were served the vegetarian tacos instead. When we asked the waiter if we could have what we ordered, we were told flat out, 'No, this is what you get, and this is what you pay for....
