While visiting Badlands and vicinity, we were looking for a good dining spot. Ma Cualli had great…read morereviews, so we decided to give it a try - and it did not disappoint. We ordered margaritas, guacamole, quesabirria tacos, shrimp fajitas, and carne asada tacos. When the food came out, we were taken back with the HUGE potion size and the aroma. Everything was delicious, and packed with flavor. Every dish delivered on taste, making it a meal that was both satisfying and memorable. The value was excellent, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and flexible, adding to the overall experience. The restaurant itself has a great ambiance, with a spacious interior. If you're visiting Rapid City and looking for memorable, authentic Mexican food, Ma Cualli is definitely worth a stop. A great find during our South Dakota adventure.

I was so grateful to find a place that had some gluten free items especially pizza! I would give…read morethe pizza a solid B plus. I was pleased with the crust and amount of cheese and pepperoni I just was not a huge fan of the type of sauce used. But still solid pizza for me. And again just happy to even have an option. I also super loved that they had things like cane sugar sodas I got this awesome rootbeer from 1919! Ryan got a cider and he got some cheesy bread. The buffalo dip was a good flavor. And it is in a cute neighborhood here we were able to walk around and explore while we are here for his work in Rapid City South Dakota! The people here seemed friendly and got us everything we needed. We would definitely come back here. Looks like they also do things like trivia and other fun events!

We tried their Tikka masala and korma and the korma was hands down the better dish of the two. Tikka masala could have used more spice and heat (even though we ordered spicy, I guess they are cautious to not scare people away). The buttery garlic naan was delicious. Definitely a place to come back to and try more options.

Our entrees were expertly prepared and presented. They offered a number of lovely cocktails that pleased the rest of my party, while I enjoyed a glass of the lovely Austin Hope Cab. I'm knocking off a star for the excessively loud 80's music curated by an aging DJ, along with over-worked waitstaff that were challenged to respond to every party. Expensive (for Rapid City), but a lovely splurge to celebrate the birthday of our friend. I only wish that the temperature (103F at 6 pm) would have allowed us to sit on the rooftop patio.

We made reservations a few months ago for this restaurant. Very thankful we did as it was full to the brim! The decor and ambiance brought us back to the roaring 20's. Our server, Alexis, was awesome. She was highly informative and gave us greet recommendations! I had the watermelon and strawberry gazpacho as an appetizer! Refreshing with spicy twist....delicious! Wish I had the recipe! My husband & I had the specialty pasta for the evening....a ricotta and herb filled tortellini with a melt in your mouth herbed chicken breast...all in a creamy light red sauce. Fantastic! Our friends had the beef filet (cooked perfectly by the way) and the Elk ribs. They both said they were the best they've ever had! We all shared the combination dessert plate....plentiful! Overall an amazing experience! Highly recommended!
