Made a reservation, we were a large group but our waitress came by to take our order and check in VERY minimally. We tried ordering drinks and would get them 20-30 min after AND with us having to remind them. We tried telling a manager and another waiter. Disappointing because we were very excited to come here for the first time and will not be returning.

We tried La Malquerida for the first time after seeing all the great reviews. The restaurant is…read moreclean, has a great ambiance, and the service and drinks were excellent. That said, the pricing was hard to justify. The Trompo al Pastor was $49 (portion is big enough to share, despite being described as per person), and the Barbacoa at $35 was decent but lacked depth of flavor and needed more seasoning. The $16 guacamole was also a surprisingly small portion for the price. We also ordered the Aguachile al Mango for $28, which sounded great but was almost inedible due to the extreme spice level. Overall, a nice atmosphere with strong cocktails, but the value just didn't match the cost for us.

The service was really great. The person was friendly, attentive, and responsive. The ambience was friendly, casual dining and cute. The pork was so flavorful and tender. The steak was very well seasoned and not overcooked. The salad was fresh and super light and the flautas were crispy and the chicken inside significant and well seasoned. The sauces are really great. We got the steak salad with Caesar dressing and their housemaid hot sauce was also a good touch. Definitely put all sauces with the house hot sauce. It was so feeling and we definitely couldn't eat all of it. We grabbed a cupidito come like John to go for our kids dinner. Cubaritos are $10 on Fridays. For drinks we got the mango lemonade and the cucumber lemonade that were both not too sweet and refreshing. Definitely going to come back. If you're in the area you should try.

More than one room available. I sat in a back corner seat to enjoy the peaceful environment. Lively, as it was busy but peaceful , as not very loud and enjoyable for a nice breakfast. Spanish speaking mostly, but can navigate English just fine. Good service, polite and attentive. Very plentiful meal, as they start the table off with complimentary chips and salsa. Then a very enjoyable meatball with potato arrived, also complimentary. Very delicious flavor & texture. The Chilaquiles con Nuevo, served with rice & beans. The beans were fantastic, the season & cooking style. Rice was light and nice as well. I thought the eggs over easy mixed into the green sauce with the cream , cheese over the shredded, soft bed of chips - very nicely done! Great flavor balance, not too spicy and a lot of flavor to enjoy together. Good meal. Good value. Many places nearby for "Quince" dresses . Bus stops outside. 11 strides across street. Pay to Park outside, watch signs.

The chicken noodle soup that you get for free, is kinda flavorless. But we made it flavorful by mixing the salsa in that you get with your chips.
