Our family spent a good half day or so visiting almost all of the places on the Basque Block. We loved all of them. The entrance to this one is a bit hard to spot at first glance. The door is kinda narrow behind a little fence, but basically right next to the sign.Once inside it is small but laid out well, with a counter on the right, small set of tables doen the middle, and a shopping area on the left wall. Around 4 pm on a Tuesday the tables were all full, as were the few out front.The market sells wines, cheeses, chocolates, and other food items of Basque origin or recipe, and a lot of cultural stuff. We bought some chocolate bars( which all seem to have s peppery flavor or zing), and some wine. Prices were reasonable and they informed us that during certain hours they do wine tastings. The place was clean and service was great. We intend to go back and do recommend.

Strolling around downtown Boise on a warm Summer day and decided on Matador because we wanted Mexican food. We are from Los Angeles, and are used to great Mexican food. This was more akin to an El Torito or chain restaurant, standard Americanized Mexican food. You know what you are getting which is nice. The service was good, and the dining room was nice.

Overall is an average Mexican restaurant. The menu has variety and some especialties. The cheese enchiladas are good. The Chile relleno is not recommended definitely some of the worst I ever had. The service is good and the waitress was attentive but could not do much when asked to get me another glass that did not smell like cleaning chemicals. She blame it on the city water. I think was the ice who smelled. The flautas are huge made with flour which in totally wrong. They are a modified chimichanga and with chunks of meat rather than shredded beef. In a nutshell is okay to be there once since the prices are not bad. Not worth a second trip.

Met another couple there for dinner this week. Didn't realize when we entered that you are supposed to go up to the bar and order your food (there were three signs with arrows telling us that, but we were looking for our friends, and missed them). We ordered both the cheese platter, and the charcuterie platter (each $22), plus a bottle of Cava, two desserts, and four glasses of wine for a bill of $126. So prices are reasonable. They only had 3 wait staff, so service was a little slow. We had to ask for table service items, and waited a long while before having to go to the bar to ask for our bill. We noticed it's a very laid back restaurant where many tables didn't turn over in the two hours we were there. They don't rush you to finish, and we liked that they offered samples of their many unusual wines (several Basque wines on their separate beverage menu).Thank you for the review. We'll look into the issue of unclear ordering directions! I'm glad you caught the relaxed, unrushed vibe--we want our guests to feel like they can settle with friends for an evening of wine and conversation. Gratefully--
