El Matador is a true hidden gem and has stood the test of time. I frequented El Matador years ago when I worked in Azusa and now find myself driving 2+ hours to get their wet burritos. The food is absolutely sensational and the staff are always a pleasure to interact with. Highly highly highly recommend you check this spot out and get a wet burrito! Also, free homemade chips and salsa both of which are prepared to perfection.

We absolutely LOVED this place. Cute little whole in the wall authentic Mexican food. Not your average place. Absolutely delicious. Everything we are was exceptional. The wait staff were very welcoming and friendly. Small interior but it made it very cozy feeling. We ordered carne asada burrito, sangria, cheese enchilada and pork tamale. Loved every bite! Very filling. Priced well. 5 stars. We're going back here for sure.

The best menudo in town. Friendly service that is very tentative to your needs. Great menu selection. Their green sauce wet burrito is phenomenal its so good.

Had lunch a few days ago with a co-worker. It’s been a few years since I’ve eaten here but recall very much enjoying the food. Although I recall the food being a little better before, it did not disappoint. It just might have been what I ordered. I ordered the burrito a la Diabla and my co-worker the al pastor wet burrito. My friend really enjoyed his burrito, but mine was just ok. I really expected it the be spicier and there wasn’t a lot of meat. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the food, but I do intend to go back soon as Mexican is one of my faves and they have a really good salsa bar and free chips.

Food was "Awesomely awesome at its awesomeness." Ordered a wet burrito and got a babii in an incubator. Wasn't expecting the burrito to be oh so massive! Horchata was gr8. Got 3 refills & one to go.(Maybe I was thirsty thirsty? Idk.) But overall the experience, the food and the atmosphere were enjoyable. As a trucker and tourist, I definitely recommend eating here and returning.
