Matador Ballard is a gem in the heart of Seattle! 🌮✨ We swung by for happy hour and shared the Grande Nachos with ground beef - definitely a highlight with generous portions. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and crispy too!

The vibe is casual yet trendy, perfect for a night out. I tried a few margaritas, but ended up sticking to a tequila shot, which paired nicely with our food. 🌟

Friendly staff and quick service made for a fantastic experience. Just a heads up, parking can be tricky; I recommend using the public lot nearby. Can't wait to return! 💃🎉
