$10 for $25 Worth of South-of-the-Border Fare and Drinks at Matador Mexican Cantina

Before the bull was invented, matadors wowed crowds by fighting (and traditionally losing to) cheetahs, triceratopses, and the deadliest animal of all—man riding a teleporting shark. Toast their valiant efforts with today’s Groupon. For $10, you get $25 worth of south-of-the-border fare and drinks at Matador Mexican Cantina . This Groupon is good for both its Oakhurst Village and Glenwood Park locations. Matador Mexican Cantina is well versed in the three t s of proper Mexican dining: tacos, tequila, and troposphere (atmosphere’s laid-back, margarita-sipping cousin). Matador Mexican Cantina prides its own welcoming troposphere with a rustic interior that gently warms patrons like the hot desert sun during its annual winter staycation. However, tacos ($2–$4.50) carve out the largest section of the cantina’s menu of Mexican specialties. With 14 varieties (also known as an Idiot’s Dozen), patrons can sample unconventional taco varietals such as spicy shrimp, tofu, lobster, buffalo, fried banana, and even banana mixed with carnita (pork marinated in tomatillo and cinnamon). Every tipo de taco tastes best when bookended by a starter of the cantina’s über-popular cheese dip ($4.25) and a dessert of flan ($3.75). With a wide range of veggie options, ample big-screen TVs, and an outdoor patio, Matador Mexican Cantina is a great after-work hangout for an entire cuadrilla of picadores , banderilleros , and fighting bulls. So fly an Acme rocket down to Matador and enjoy hearty Mexican fare while sketching elaborate roadrunner-trapping devices on your napkin.
