All the entrée choices contain tremendous amounts of shredded or melted cheese, usually pouring out and over onto the cheese in the beans and creating a Union of Cheese.
There is an overall heavy sprinkling of the same shredded cheese on the plate, just sort of miscellaneously.
My guess is that the meal overall is about 60%-65% cheese unless you get a steak etc., and more so if your dish explicitly contains cheese as a named ingredient.
The overall weight of food in a dinner is approximately nine hundred kilograms, mostly quesal mass.
We loved El Matador because my dad had been instrumental in getting the owner's sons through high school. He was treated like a king there. One of the un-looked-for perks of being a good high school counselor.
I am suddenly in desperate need of a large oval plate covered in a bean and cheese mush with a bit of rice and tortilla buried somewhere under the steaming slop. Oh god I miss Mi Casa.
There are a couple places around the neighborhood that I have logged in my mind that might possibly hold the appropriate type of "non-mexican mexican" food that you seek.

the bar/waiting area is what nails this one home.. including the endless supply of hot chips and overflowing pitchers of fresh'ish salsa.
