This is my favorite Mexican restaraunt in Ogden. Love the warm salsa and chips served with every meal. The menu is varied and prices are very reasonable.

Walking into The El Matador is like stepping back twenty or thirty years in time! The decor is set up like a quaint mexican villa, replete with toreador posters on the walls,a nd plastic chilis. I am sure it was the height of restaurant fashion in 1972. The food and plating are from the same era: enchiladas, tacos, chips and... more
