WELCOME TO THE MATADOR

At the Matador, tequila is more than a beverage, it is an entire culture of its own. We immerse ourselves in it. We know the landscape and the people who move, shape, and make a difference within it. We love everything about tequila, and all agave spirits, and we enjoy nothing more than sharing our knowledge and appreciation for this amazing world with all of our guests.

We serve a menu of scratch-made dishes that complement the nuances and complexities of our agave collections with exciting preparations that re-think Mexico through always fresh ingredients and creative presentations. Our restaurant interiors are designed to reflect the heart, soul, craft, and adventure that live inside every good bottle of tequila.

Step into the Matador and gain insider access to the world of tequila, the flavorful foods that go wit hit, and the rarefied atmosphere of craft and pleasure it creates.

Every Matador is custom-built, often with reclaimed materials and personal touches from our founder and team.
No two locations are alike—but all of them share the same sense of energy, warmth, and bold design.
