“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”
