3 Stars: Not like the original... (by Yvette D.)

You'll almost get the same experience here like the Cobras on Beverly Blvd. Same great food! They do have their own wine bar with an eclectic collection of imported wines. The restaurant is almost 4 times bigger. You can actually have a conversation during your dinner and you're not rubbing elbows with your neighbors. Service is not up to par in this location. But overall, this place is a great spot in Los Feliz.

3 Stars: Overpriced. . .but! (by Michael K.)

But! I've never gone there and not had something intensely entertaining happen at a nearby table. From excessively shiny girls taking pictures of each other to an awkward (and failed) marriage proposal--this place has got it all. The food? Fine, but should be about 20% cheaper. The wine selection is good, but overpriced. And sometimes the corners smell of ant spray. But, again: the people watching. Good.

2 Stars: Disappointing and Overly Expensive Tapas Joint (by Ruchira S.)

I was SO excited to try Cobras and Matadors. I love tapas, it's one of my absolute favorite foods, and I had yet to find a good tapas restaurant in LA.

Unfortunately, I am still looking for a good tapas restaurant in LA because this was not it. The food was okay, but not great. And the small plates were honestly too expensive. They were the price of normal plates at a normal restaurant. The whole point of tapas is to get multiple small plates!

So sadly, my quest for good tapas continues. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

One of my favorite restaurants ever! I love trying lots of different dishes, and with the small portions and reasonable prices it's easy to do just that!
