Reader Review Revue – The Stranger, 2007
“If hunger is your main concern, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show at Matador [...]  nachos are both deliciously huge, and hugely delicious: chips, cheese, avocado, sour cream, beans, and chicken. Yum.”

Broken Promises (excerpt below) — The Stranger, 2005
“The Fire Jumbo Prawns definitely lived up to their name, as all three tasters dove for beer after a bite and declared the habanero and tomato-sauced crustaceans hot, hot, hot. The Tex Mex Spring Rolls, a crisp fusion snack of yummy little fried rolls stuffed with chicken, corn, and black beans, came with both a chile sesame sauce and avocado sour cream. [...] The steak tacos were so delicious we ordered their cousin, the shrimp tacos. [...] I’ll definitely be back for more promise breaking.”

Casa del Matador Tequila Bar — The Portland Tribune, 2009
“Friendly, fun, unpretentious and smoke-free [...] This is the first Oregon location of the four-bar chain, which is based in Seattle. But the Casa del Matador – scarlet-walled and tinged in iron lace – feels anything but corporate thanks to some eye-catching personalized touches.”
