El Matador - Taylors

I went to El Matador's restaurant since 1982. My parents took me there when I was a kid, and now I take my family. This place is not your usual restaurant. From 1968, this restaurant served as a kind of hidden treasure at Upstate, SC. David and his team are nothing but culinary genius. The atmosphere is original and it feels like at home. Salsa is dying because I know he is not imported or bought. David grows his own paprika and creates this wonderful taste I have enjoyed for years. They're doing everything out of the ground. The staff is by far the most polite thing I have ever experienced, and that says a lot in today's time when others treat you as inconvenience. Try this place, take your family and friends. You'll be glad you did it.

Oh, my God! The best Mexican food ever. The best Chili Rellenos I ever had on the Guacamole. Great staff and the owner come out and is very personal with everyone! Very recommended and my family and I love it!!!

We started to visit this restaurant in the late 80s when we lived in Greenville... Hands down, the best Mexican cuisine ever and the Sangria...homemade and sooo good! We never had anything that wasn't brilliant! And everyone is super nice and friendly... the service excellent and the decor so juicy! We haven't lived in SC for many years, but every time we come back, this is the first place we visit! Feels like home!

Best Mexican food in Greenville. We've been eating here since they opened up in the '70s. The quality and friendliness of the staff is always the same. I would recommend it here.

The food was delicious and the service was very good! Everyone was very friendly and the owner came to the table and thanked us for coming. They brought my friend a dessert for her birthday. I have been eating at the El Matador not long after they opened at their first location. This is my favorite place to eat and I would eat more often it was closer as I live in Spartanburg. Thank you El Matador for the wonderful food and many good memories through the years!
