Matador Mexican Grill

Matador Mexican Grill, a popular "Fresh-Mex" destination in Fort Collins, Colorado, is famous for its legendary hot sauce bar. In the Northern Colorado food scene, Matador is often cited as having the best hot sauce selection of any fast-casual Mexican restaurant. Because they are made in-house at the restaurant, the sauces lack the "processed" vinegar-heavy taste of many commercial brands. You can taste the roasted vegetables and fresh herbs. They are respected for not "dumbing down" the heat—their hot sauces are genuinely hot, even by chili-head standards.
