El Matador - Costa Mesa

The best Mexican food in Newport Beach! They have the largest selection of tequila in Orange County. Thank you for the amazing food and outstanding service!

Whenever we find ourselves in Costa Mesa, we make sure to stop by El Matador! Our entire family enjoys ordering their own Carnitas plate because it’s simply delicious! The portions are so generous that one plate can easily provide enough for two meals. I have to remind myself to take a break from eating so I can save some for leftovers!

Exceptional service paired with outstanding food in an unparalleled atmosphere. Vegetarian options include delicious veggie fajitas.

This place is pretty good. The bartender was very professional and chill. The foot was good and the portions were too. Restrooms were clean though for some reason the sink had no water pressure. The decor inside was nice and the huge variety of drinks at the bar was a great backdrop for everything else. Vegetarian options: There's some stuff. Dietary restrictions: Items are labelled with ingredients. Parking: Parking lot in front, not too many spaces, though. Kid-friendliness: Yea probably. Wheelchair accessibility: Door is not automatic. Handicap stall inside.
