Popular downtown Tacoma eatery to offer $5 margs, nachos to celebrate 20 years
This year marks two decades of The Matador in downtown Tacoma, and the restaurant is offering a few deals to celebrate. The restaurant and bar, with locations throughout Western Washington, Oregon, Idaho and South Carolina, offers an extensive tequila selection and a variety of Mexican fare. The twice-daily happy hour, from 4 to 6 p.m. and then 10 p.m. to close, is already a good deal, with soup, salad, quesadillas and street tacos available for just $6 or $7. Though on Nov. 17, when the restaurant will celebrate its 20th birthday, all happy hour menu items drop down to $5. Plus, house margaritas will go for the same price all day on Nov. 17, not just during happy hour. The happy hour menu includes the restaurant’s Grande Nachos, a heaping plate of chips covered in cheddar and monterey jack cheeses, black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole and cilantro-lime sour cream. Tacos come with fillings like baja fish, steak, shrimp, carnitas and chorizo. You’ll also find crispy brussels sprouts, bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños, habanero shrimp, chicken tortilla soup and caramel apple churros on the happy hour menu. The restaurant is also using its 20th anniversary celebration to highlight new improvements, like an

Tacoma doughnut shop known for decadent fried treats will close after 14 years
Legendary Doughnuts will close its Tacoma store Nov. 15, ending a 14-year run on Sixth Avenue, the owners announced on social media over the weekend. In Nov. 7 Facebook and Instagram posts, Shannon and Ken Patten said the last few years “have been quite a struggle for us at this location,” pointing to pandemic-related challenges, a general economic downturn and customers having to “choose between treats and necessities for them and their families.” They also said they recently received notice of “a substantial rent increase close to $2,000 a month and continued price increases,” which contributed to their decision. “It is with great disappointment that we have to announce the closing of our Legendary Doughnuts Tacoma location,” the post read. They thanked their customers, especially regulars who returned week after week, and their employees. “We were able to build and foster business relationships throughout the community and would like to think we did our small part at being good neighbors.” In an email Monday afternoon, Shannon Patten confirmed that the property owner had informed them last month of a rent increase of approximately $1,800. They had been on a month-to-month lease since November 2025, she said, and they “did not
