Friends,
I would like to welcome you to our restaurant Matadors. My family and
I have been serving fine authentic Mexican food for more than 25 years
in Phoenix, Arizona. Our restaurant has become a tradition for many Arizona
family gatherings and well as the jet set (Sammy Davis Jr., Clint Eastwood
just to name a few.) You also might
catch many local, state and national politicians at a table right next
to you.
We are well known for our frothy margaritas, our delicious Mexican entrees
and our "Greek Taco's". Everything in Matadors is made fresh
daily. Nothing comes from a can and there are no preservatives. Our salsa,
hot sauce, guacamole, tamales and everything else is homemade. The tacos
are made from shredded beef, not ground meat. We even make our own Menudo
with tripe, beef feet (patas), hominy, corn and spices. Popular dishes
include our Huevos Rancheros, Lengua Con Chili and our Beef Tougue in
Green Sauce. Come by on Wednesday or Sunday to enjoy our Mexican stew
called Cocido. When you do visit us make sure not to try one of our fantastic
desserts including our deep-fried marble cheesecake.
Of course all of our fantastic food is available for take-out as well
as party trays for group events and if you need to host your event we
can handle groups up to 300. We have also added online ordering directly
from our web site for dine-in or take-out making it even easier to indulge
in our great food. I'm looking forward to seeing you at our restaurant
and I know you will enjoy our great service, hospitality and food.
From our family to
yours, all the best,
Alexandra Anagnopoulos

Fun
stuff about our name:
Did
you know: The first bullfights supposedly took place in Knossos,
Greece, a contest of some sort is depicted in a wall painting unearthed...
dating from about 2000 BC. It shows male and female acrobats confronting
a bull,
grabbing its horns as it charges, and vaulting over its back.
