    LET ME TELL YALL ABOUT THEM BIRRIA TACOS!!! 😩 I’ve only had them once before somewhere else and was not really satisfied with the quality from the other place. I keep hearing how good birria tacos are though, and decided maybe it wasn’t the type of taco that I didn’t like, but maybe they just weren’t made right by the other place. So I went to try them again today here at the El Malecon Mexican Grill and let me just say I am thanking God I decided to try these again. I don’t know if I’ll ever eat anything else besides birria tacos for the rest of my life .. delicious doesn’t even begin to describe these 😋 RUN DONT WALK and go get yourself some (birria is only available 2 days a week, Wednesday being one of them just to be clear) and you get alllll of this for just $12!!!! You really can’t beat good food at low prices

    I've said it multiple times you need salsa and chips. Just saying the food is on point a 💯 percent but the Verde salsa and hot sauce just isn't it I go here at least 2 times a month. But would be 4 time's if you had chips and salsa. And when I come there next week I'm going to remind you guys. Thank you food Is phenomenal....

    Great food and service! We've gone here multiple times over the last year and the food has been consistently delicious. The person working the counter has always remembered us and is very kind. Authentic food, great salsas and a wide variety of options. A great local addition.

    Delicious, authentic mexican food, with a wide variety of meat options for the tacos as well as great salsas at fair prices. The portions are great and I like they give fresh and grilled onions which is a unique touch. The service has been consistently great. Looking forward to eating here again soon.

    Tonight was our first visit at El Malecon and we are HAPPY 😊 We are from California and are extremely picky about Mexican Food. I love that they used the yellow corn tortillas and used two of them with the street tacos plus it's like they were speaking my love language when I saw the grilled onions on the side of my tacos 😍 My husband even ordered more food to take home and I had my dad try their red salsa and he gave it 👍🏼👍🏼 Definitely keeping El Malecon on the top of our list of fav Mexican food places!

    Highly recommend, never disappointed. Food is always fresh, tastes delicious, variety of authentic dishes, and great portions. My favorite tasting queso around here and the Vallarta Special is really tasty.

    My fish tacos were excellent! Friendly service! We sat at the picnic benches outside by the food truck and it was very nice.
