What 220+ diners say about Taquería el Malecón

So good!!!!! loaded up on meat, best birria for a reasonable price, around 18 for four birria tacos. The flavor is amazing. I will definitely be going here again sometime soon, i recommend 100% just stumbled upon this place looking for birria tacos. Customer service was good, friendly

“genuinely some of, if not the BEST steak tacos ive had in my life!!!”

genuinely some of, if not the BEST steak tacos ive had in my life!!!! staff is friendly and kind, i always feel comfortable here, spent a week coming here while i was staying at my uncles, im supposed to finally move to chicago in october, and i think its worth the walk from lincoln square (1 hr) that i'll likely be taking. in a great location too!!!

My entire bag is soaked in pozole, and the driver all care free saying he didn't know how it happened and "what was in the bag?" Like the receipt doesn't already tell you that. And the lady at the store said she can't send me anyone for a replacement. First time ordered and never again from this place.! I also have pictures for proof!

Taqueria el Malecon is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Santos, Lucy, Antonio very nice. They cook the food fresh and ready to eat and they maintain the restaurant clean. Amazing steak tacos. Must come back. 10/10
