I had such high expectations! It looks like such a cool place. We had to hunt down a waiter to order, and again to pay. We saw people who arrived after us being served. The food was great. I would not go back.

Worst experience ever!! If you happen to get an unprofessional a**h*** named Milo ask for someone else immediately. He was so rude to our entire table. He ignored us and then got mad at us for just going to the bar to order our drinks. He proceeded to close us out and said to leave when we were done! To make this clear none of us were drunk or being belligerent the only rude person here was our Waiter Milo who proceeded to yell at us for going to the bar to get our own drinks, stating that by doing so we were making his job harder. Well Milo if you had been paying attention to us it wouldn't have Been so hard. Thats not the worst part he then had the other employees lock us in the establishment until we supposedly paid our tab! We had already paid everything off he went and changed the receipts to add a 20% gratuity charge! What gratuity?! He definitely did not deserve our gratitude or money! Never in my life have I ever been so disrespected by someone who clearly has 0 customer service.

Don't know how this place has survived simply based on the abysmal bathrooms and charging a cover for parking on the weekend. Been 5 years and the bathrooms don't lock, are locked out permanently, or look this bad on a good day. Ridiculous.

I had such great expectations for this place because I was told they were having live music. Well me and my loved one were so disappointed because we sat and the chef/manager rudely told us we couldn’t sit . No one told us that the tables were reserved and he gave such an unprofessional ugly attitude that I don’t think no one would go again to this place. We left $20 dollar tip to waiter because he was a good server. But we didn’t eat nothing he just gave us water !

Malolam is a bright and colorful spot in the Montecillo Apartment area. I went with my friend who had come into town for the weekend. I got the carne asada tacos with the corn and my girlfriend got the Malolam Tacos with the corn. The main thing I have to say is that the tacos were definitely good, but no way were they worth $6 each. Our server was very confused as well, not giving us a single menu the entire time stating that they didn't have any and didn't mention the prices of the tacos he recommended. I will probably be back again, but I am going to need them to either lower their prices or have way better service next time for my review to change.

Malolam over charges for their drinks, they say a beer is $4 and then they charge you $6 for it. Also they promote unlimited pozole on Sundays but only the first plate is big and the next ones are tiny and they take forever to bring it to your table. This place isn't a good place to party anymore.

Been here once or twice and it was a fun environment with good food and drinks. That said, it seems like the customers are becoming more and more disorderly/violent. I live next door and can definitely say that the cops respond to issues at Malolam every other week. Last Sunday afternoon, the cops had weapons drawn after a fight in the parking lot. This place was good - and can be again. Ownership just needs to clean up the bad actors.

By far the worst bar/club environment. We were sitting at the bar and then approached by staff to give up our chairs to later find out they were set up outside unoccupied. Worst customer service. The DJ had continous rave music for hours it became boring real quick. There's many options out there and for sure will not return to this place no matter if they have $1 beers that how bad this place is.

Been here many times at night where it is more a var vibe than restaurant and that is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 with atmosphere. That being said I came today here for dinner and it was so chill I loved it! The food was delicious and clamatos were too. Service Could have been a bit faster but it didn't matter because they did keep checking in on us to make sure we were not missing anything. Definitely recommend here for lunch/dinner.

We had to sit at the bar which an underwhelming experience. The bartenders/servers weren’t friendly or attentive. Everything was sticky! Was my first time there and definitely not going back. A little pricey for food quality.

Malolam has always been an establishment that I've cherished. I'd come on Sundays although it's one of their busiest days, but service was always on point. Now...I'm not sure what happened. New manager or owner?? We waited for a table. Ok. However once we were seated we waited for over 30 mins and no one came to offer a drink or take our order. There are plenty of establishments in El Paso. I will gladly take our business elsewhere; one that takes care of their patrons.

The food is phenomenal! I love the fusion concept of incorporating Mexican and Asian cultural Flair's. The Tacos I had were an excellent Carne Asada with a Thai kick with peanut sauce. The common denominator in both cultures is the Cilantro. The Mexican Fried Rice as the side dish has been cut with delicious Chorizo! The Chicken Chicaronnes hands down the best appetizer on the menu. It was recommended since the pork dish was out. If they can build a parking garage here, I would be coming weekly!

Went during lunch today (cinco de mayo) and it wasn’t busy at all! We loved the atmosphere. Kinda reminded us of a Mexican restaurant on the beach in Mexico that I went to a few years back. LOVED THAT! When you’re there, you don’t feel like you’re in El Paso. I got the Black Forest ham torta with the Mexican Caesar side salad. LOVED IT! The salsa they bring to the table is also amazing, with the house made tortilla chips. Overall, I had a great experience! Staff was super friendly, and even the manager kept checking in on us and making small talk!

what a awful experience! first time ever going here, we heard great things about this place! never again! a came into town FROM GA, and we live around the neighborhood and got told my GA drivers license was “ fake” & i asked to speak to the manager & “ the door guys “ were manager, and GM” told me i can call the police to basically prove our ids are “real”, or show him our “ fb”!!?! sat there for 5 minutes arguing with this guy @ the door with dreads. i would hate for him to be a manager of my store. will never recommend this place.

The owner made a decision to kick out an active duty veteran and his friend due to a complaint of a drunk woman who thought we were stalking her. Thats laughable and very unprofessional. Atmosphere is alright, a party is a party. Good vibes and good drink prices. Nice views from the third floor. Very thoughtful to have fans blowing mist, big plus.

love the food! simple and inexpensive, yet better than most restaurants in El Paso. They need to add more food in their menu for brunch in the weekends! love the service and atmosphere.

I maybe should have posted the before plate, but I rather give props to the Chef 👌🏽 now that's Some Spicy

We went to a friends birthday celebration on Saturday evening. The attention from the staff was really good. The cocktails and food we ordered were very tasteful.

I want to like this place. My husband and I will not be returning. We decided to eat dinner and have drinks here two nights in a row. Friday night was exceptional! Thus 3 ⭐️ s! Our waiter was wonderful and on point. The drink shown in my pictures(a paloma) and our mushroom tacos were great. The waiter was very good about explaining the choices of mezcal and what the kitchen had run out of. The price seemed fair. The energy of this place was fun. Then we made the mistake of going again Saturday night. About the same time of day. It was a disaster. The waitress was not good. We are from out of town (still south texas though) and I ordered a michelada. My husband ordered a paloma. He literally was served mezcal and soda water or something like that and I was served a glass 1/4 full of lime juice. And a beer on the side. Then the waitress tried to help us? 🤷‍♀️ She went back and just made his drink stronger and told me I wanted a clamato drink. The tacos my husband ordered were served with o e he did not orderand she was like well the kitchen is out? The manager stopped by and actually was insulting banging my glass down when I told him our meal was going terrible. He said well you don’t know what a michelada is this is a michelada what you wanted was a red beer.And so forth and so on. Hey bud the customer should not be insulted. He did remove the drink price from our bill. I did not eat my food because I was over it. Lots of other great options in El Paso. So 3 ⭐️ s! For Friday -0 stars for Saturday.

From the moment I walked in ,I felt good. It’s smelled clean, looked clean. The staff was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. I will definitely be back.

A group of friends and I made a reservation in the upper level of Malolam (Malo Alto) and got bottle service as we wanted a place for us to sit comfortably and have a good time. 12:50 AM came and a bouncer with a very rude attitude started kicking people out, including my group, off the upper level, since according to him, "his bosses were demanding the upper area to be closed". At this point, we were still halfway from finishing the bottle we purchased and had just recently gotten a refill on ice and mixers. We asked if they would accommodate us downstairs in a table so we could continue enjoying the bottle service we had already paid for and received a straight NO for an answer, and not even the smallest attempt to accommodate us was made. What really troubled us is that after we made ourselves to the lower portion of the bar, we saw at least 3 groups of people still sitting down unbothered and enjoying themselves at the upper area that was "supposed to be closed". We asked a bouncer what was that all about and we were told if we didn't like it, we could make ourselves out the bar or he could simply kick us out. What it this all about? The $600+ dollars we spent for bottle service was not good enough? A bottle we couldn't even finish and were forced to leave behind. It seems Malomam is turning into a classist bar where you must have some sort of status or know someone from the management/staff to have a good time and be treated with respect. If Malo Alto closes at 1AM as claimed, that should be clearly communicated at the time of reservation or by the waiting staff, but that is not the case as we clearly saw how people stayed in that upper area way past 1AM. We have been longstanding customers of Maloman since its beginnings; this is no longer the case after this bad experience.

Lovely lounge with great staff. The food was a little too spicy though. Over all I loved the ambience. Great place to hang with friends at night!!

Great place to day drink as well as nights. Food is better than average for El Paso bars. Try the fish tacos or sea bass ceviche if you're not looking for huge calories. Sweetest bartender helps the overall experience.

Good atmosphere and crowd. Food wasn't too bad. Service is the worst.
