Casa Del Matador: Tex-Mex Restaurant in Portland, OR

Casa Del Matador is an excellent Tex Mex restaurant in downtown Portland. They have two locations. These pictures were taken at their North West Portland location. It is not very easy to find Tex - Mex food in Portland and this place is one of my top two favorites in all of Portland.

 Last time I was there I had one of my favorites, Pork Tacos al Pastor, and mercy they were good!  My girlfriend got the fajitas and they looked amazing. She refused to share, so I assume they were good.

My pictures just didn't do justice to this restaurant. The bar area is very cool. That's it in the 1st photo. Yes, that's a longhorn skull up there.

In this next photo you can see a round fireplace with a table around it. I really want to eat around that fireplace, but every time I've been in someone is already sitting there.

I don't know if you can tell from our faces, but the drinks were pretty good too. I had a margarita and they served it in a large glass. It was the same size as the glass in the picture.

Sadly, we got there just in time to miss happy hour! Casa Del Matador's Happy Hour is quite good, especially the tacos. Here's what their website says:

Restaurante Casa Colonial by Ricardo - Comayagua, Honduras

Restaurante Casa Colonial (Colonial House Restaurant) Also know as Ricardo's is located in the Central Park of Comayagua, Honduras, next to the cathedral.  We got the chance to eat there on our family trip into the town.


According to my husband this is the best restuarant in Comayagua.  I think most people would agree.  It is a great place filled with art and antiques.  This is the front room of the Ricardo's.




We sat in the middle room.  It had a romantic fill to it.  Behind this room is a large outdoor patio and clean restrooms.  There was no AC inside, so next time we will sit outside.



Pictured here are what they called Enchiladas.  We would call them tostados or chalupas.  These enchilades were phenomenal.  Probably they best thing we ordered!



These are the tacos, also very good.



I got the typical plate "Plato tipico".  It came with plantains covered in cream, rice, grilled steak, cheese, beans, and salso.  It was good.



The jalapeno steak with rice, potatoes, and beans.  The grilled potatoes were the second best thing on any of our plates.  I don't know what they season them with, but they were excellent.
