The food is the most authentic Mexican food in Grants Pass. The service was very good and the ambiance was very traditional Mexican, which My wife and I really enjoyed, especially since we had just returned from Mexico and had visited the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta. read more

Very kind people serving fresh and tasty food! Kind people + good food = heart + tummy full! read more

Food was great. Adequate portions. Fast and friendly service. Tasted more homemade and more unique than most other Mexican restaurants in town. read more

First of all when you Oder salsa through door dash they charge you $.50 each second of all when you pay for something you expect to receive it in the order. I spent $4 on all of the different salsa's and got only 1 of them. The carnitas were dry. The asada tasted horrible. I really used to like this restaurant but they clearly don't care when it's a take out or delivery order! When I called to inform them of the issue they didn't even care. read more

Service was very nice, the young lady who seated us and took our order was very friendly and had a big smile. The place overall looks a little worn out, like it needs a really good scrubbing, cleaning and sprucing up. Food is not bad, but I would say underwhelming, on the bland side, and the chicken for the enchilada was boiled rather than grilled. I found that odd. We had ordered chicken tacos for a business luncheon a while back, and the chicken in the tacos was also boiled and not grilled. This just did not feel authentic to me? The chille relleno had a white cheese inside that was like a block, not melty at all. Although flavor was decent overall, I like my relleno's to have melting cheese. Maybe that's just me? We wanted to taste the flan for dessert. It was very dense, and the caramel sauce did not have that authentic burnt sugar flavor. Again, it was not bad, but not the authentic, light, flavorful traditional flan one is used to. Finally, the bill included an up-charge if you used a credit card. I think credit card fee's should be for the business to absorb, not tacked on the bill for the customer. It comes across as cheap and tacky. Of course we paid it. But we wont be coming back. read more

Real deal Mexican food. Friendly staff. We stop here every time we stay in Grants Pass.

Food was okay. Didn't like that our take out food was in very non environmental styrofoam packaging. What was worse, is one entire dinner order went completely missing, but we WERE charged for it! We even went back the next day and they WOULD NOT refund us! Wow. read more

Was in town for a night on a road trip to visit family. Found this place. Service was good and friendly. Ordered the chicken fajitas. It was really good and enough to share with my grandmother. My son got a carne asada taco salad and liked it as well. Chips and salsa were good. read more

Absolutely delicious! From the salsa to the food, we loved every bite of everyone's order. Our family got fajitas, tacos, and a steak platter and we all loved it. The service was awesome, they were very friendly and checked on us often. We also loved the style of the restaurant, the decor was fitting. Definitely a top contender for Mexican food in this town and we'll definitely be back! read more

Malecon's is The Best Mexican food in Grants Pass, OR. We just ate there tonight and the flavor and tenderness of the shredded beef was the best I had ever had. My husband had the #12 combo and he said it was awesome. I would recommend Malecon to anyone. read more

The service was very good, but both the food and the margaritas were disappointing to me

Love the food here. People are super kind.The taquitos are one of our favorites. My husband and I eat there frequently so glad the new owners took it over a couple of months ago. What a difference in quality and taste of the food. read more

Malecon Family business. Husband brings drinks. Lights up when he talks about his wife, the chef. It's beautiful. Stops just short of giving away the secret ingredients. Happily took on a party of 20 and split every check by baseball team kids uniform number. Fast service, awesome service. Would come back for sure. - [ ] Chips perfect thin snd crispy but no salt. Womp womp - [ ] Raspberry margarita is GOOD! Brought out the extras in a little cup too - [ ] Nacho burrito ground beef GIANT huge, very tasty - [ ] shrimp chimichanga. Excellent cream sauce. Friend declared it best Mexican he's ever had. Wife has worked to perfect it. Chipotle sour cream maybe heavy cream. It's a secret sauce. Inside is shrimp and scallops with butter garlic sauce - [ ] Avocado tostada vegan Meh. Expected refried beans. Got whole beans. Lacking flavor. Meh - [ ] Side rice and beans Now that's good. The plain whole pinto beans lack flavor. With no vegan sauce and just plain slice avocado the tostada was very boring. But the super flavorful rice really kicked it up a notch read more

This is very solid, traditional Mexican food. They don't skimp on the cheese for the nachos as well! I loved the extra detail that was placed on the artwork. They didn't do the basics like you see so often. There is depth and vibrancy to the art. It really stood out as something special. More than anything else though, the service was supreme. We love it here!! read more

Went in on a Sunday afternoon with two little kids. Not very busy and we got our food so quickly. Husband got the mole enchiladas and said it was one of the best he's had. What a cute place, we'll definitely be back. read more

Yummy food! Service was great and everyone was friendly. Not too pricey for an everyday dinner

Delicious homemade food, recipes passed on thru family generations! Friendly service, amazing food ! The best salsa verde I have ever tasted - a must try if you live in Grants Pass or looking to stop for a bite. read more

My husband and I stopped here on our way from Brookings to Redding. It was Thanksgiving Day, so we were initially just happy to find an open restaurant. I ordered the Posole and the Carne Asada plate. It was my first time having Posole and the broth was so flavorful. They provided a plate full of fresh veg, like cabbage, limes and onions. The meat was so tender! The Carne Asada plate was good, but the best part was the homemade flour tortillas. Lastly, I ordered a turnover to go and I chose the pineapple filling. I fully expected the filling to taste like canned pie filling, like the filling in most turnovers, but it was full of chunky pineapple and definitely homemade. When we checked our, I complimented the young man at the register and he smiled broadly as he informed me that his mother was the Chef. We will definitely be back. read more

OVERPRICED! Got charged $19.45 for a California burrito (No sides). Almost double what any other place in town would serve and with sides included. Food tasted fine but nowhere worth the cost. read more

Didn't like it. Got fajitas, barely any meat. No hot sauces offered, not much flavor. Margarita had no tequila, just wine.

Sooo happy we found a delicious Mexican restaurant in town! Everything we had was so yummy. Quick service, and great quality! Definitely will be back again! read more

The Malecon is under new ownership. Upgrades made to the interior design are beautiful. Unfortunately, the warmth of the service is missing, prices have increased and the quality of the food has been cheapened. The beef has a lot of gristle, the pork has a lot of fat, and the salsa is tasteless. I ordered a wet burrito and it came with lettuce and tomato inside it and very little of any other fill. The owner is stingy with her meals. Having grown up on Mexican food, having lived in Mexico and traveled there all of my 70 years of life, I think this restaurant is an insult to anyone who eats there. Don't waste your money. read more

What an unexpected surprise! We were in Grant's Pass for work on a really hot day. We ended up here because the very kind woman took us in 40 min to close after we were unsuccessful in getting a table at 3 other places due to the heat. Really great service and delicious food. We had a chicken tostada and enchilada combo. The beans were really tasty and the rice actually had flavor! The chicken was flavorful and the tostada was loaded with fresh lettuce and tomato. We also had a couple crispy tacos and some very cold beers! All things paired well with the light, crispy chips and salsa. read more

Nice little cantina with great food and drinks at good prices. Menudo served daily and even breakfast. Will definitely be returning to try some of their food. The Chile Rellano is spectacular read more

Unfortunately it was just average. Either the waitress or the cook mixed up my order and I didn't care for the enchilada ot the taco.

The portions were good. The chicken in the taco was tender, very bland, unseasoned. The taquitos we're good and came with plenty of guac and sour cream. The carnitas plate was overloaded with pico de Gallo, and just slightly less carnitas than I would have preferred. Otherwise the plate was good. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Google maps takes you to the wrong place, it's off 6th, don't go around to the bank on the backside of it. read more

What a find!! I travel around the state of Oregon for a living & dine out ALL the time. Sweetest little place. Clean, family run. And my chicken burrito was delicious. The meat was juicy and so flavorful. Right off I-5, so a great alternative to the fast food, mass produced options. Service was fast. Highly recommend! read more

Just wow! I've DoorDashed this place twice now and the food has been amazing! The first time I had enchiladas--the second time, the chile relleno burrito. Both were excellent and accompanied by excellent salsa and guacamole. Their beans and rice are flavorful and prepared perfectly. Don't hesitate! read more

The food was so delicious! Authentic tasting and seasoned perfectly. Growing with homemade authentic Mexican food, the enchilada sauce tasted like mom's! Highly recommend this place it is truly a hidden gem, and we will be back! read more

By far my favorite Mexican restaurant in grants pass! The breakfast plates are outstanding and a very generous portion for what you pay. The food is fresh and authentic and the service is quick and friendly. The chips and salsa is super yummy and the salsa/ hot sauces they bring out with meals are different and tasty. My toddler loves the donuts so that gets us in the door happily and gives her something to do while I read the menu. This place is absolute gem and a must try if you're a fan of Mexican food! read more

Malecon Grill and Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Grants Pass, Oregon

I'm not sure how people rate this place with 5 stars. I've given this place three chances, and I have to say the quality is just not there. It is the most bland, overpriced Mexican food. Meats are often dry and the salsa so is watery it does nothing for the food. The ham breakfast burrito came with lunch meat instead of chunks of ham. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. read more

My standard is the rice--I never eat the dry tasteless mound . The only exception is Malecon! The best rice ever! Simple menu, very reasonable prices; lunch for 2 with beer was $23. 6 stars!!' read more

Based on some great Yelp reviews, our family decided we'd give this place a try during an overnight stay on our long road trip. To summarize, this place is a gem that we found in the least expected place. From the moment we walked in, the staff (who are also the owners) made us feel extremely welcome. My wife and I both ordered the Chile Relleno & Enchilada combos, and it's hands down the best Chile Relleno I've ever had. You could immediately tell they put their passion into their food and the whole dining experience. The entire family thoroughly enjoyed their food. The rice is incredibly tasty and tender. She was passionate about cooking and told us all the ingredients are fresh, right down to their special Red sauce which was to die for! She explained the long process it takes making the sauce, including ordering special peppers from Mexico and marinating them in garlic first. Prices are extremely reasonable. The owners came and talked with us and were super friendly and appreciative. The place was recently renovated so it's very clean with a pleasant ambience. Highly recommend this place. read more
