Matejas Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Compostela

The owner has 5 dogs so don't take your pets. When I was getting into a taxi in front of her bar her dogs came out after my little Sheba. I stopped one of her dogs that was attacking my dog by moving it away with my foot while holding my dog on leash without any attepmt to hurt it however the owner saw it differently. I will not be going back there ever and now join the group who have choose not to as well. It is unfortunate that this has occurred. I tried to save a bad situation and feel I did. No one or dog was injured. I did not feel welcome there and hope my friends on Facebook support my action! PS: After the incident, noted in my prior post, months past where I boycotted Matejas. Yesterday, I decided to revisit and have a lunch with my family.

Mateja came to my table and proceeded to publicly berate me, finishing with "Get the f**k out of my restaurant and never come back! You're not welcome here!"

And all this time I thought the dogs were the problem? Not very professional Mateja!!

To be fair to the wonderful staff, the service and food are very good, though a little pricey.

We love this place! It's a family favorite and a local favorite for Canadians, Americans and Mexicans! It's got sports it's got bands it's got music and great food plus games & fundraisers for local community!! Right on the beach what more can...

Well, Mateja runs a fine place. While living in La Penita for a month, Matejas Bar & Grill became our Guayabitos 'place to hang', enjoy the live music, food & bev's, and trot down into the surf when the mood moved us. Thanks Mateja and...
