“We’ve only been open since April; that’s why this is such an honor for us,” said owner Joanie Vazquez, who credits the success of Matador on the freshness of its concept. “It’s a tapas place and a Latin steakhouse. We encourage sharing with the tapas so it has a fun ambiance, too. At least that’s what people are telling me,” she said. And they’re backing it up with their Best Of ballots as well.
