El Malecon Nightclub

First time, had a great chile relleno ,very fresh and delicious. Definitely will return, waitress was very friendly. Nice place, huge and decorated cute.

Great food, its like having party in your mouth, the pricing is really reasonable

I flipping love the parole , my wife loves the shrimp tacos and Daelah loves whatever her mom dont want her to eat.lol

The enchiladas were excellent. The green sauce which topped them was extremely flavorful - you could actually taste the lime a bit. Waitress was kind, friendly, and helpful! The margaritas had ample tequila. Will go back for sure$

I wanted to like this place, I really did! Our drinks were watery, as well as our food. My guest couldnt eat her taco salad. The waitress was very, very sweet and didnt charge us for the taco salad. But she was running around doing everything! She was the only person out front on the floor. Best of luck to you guys.

I’ve only been here once but I will keep going back and take others there too. Not only is it attractive, the staff is sweet and the food was amazing. My husband and I shared 3 different dishes and had none left to take home.They also have a stage that could have a band play and a great space for parties. I could easily see this place for a venue like fundraising.

This place is very good! Dont be fooled by an empty parking lot....Its a great taqueria--style restaurant in a BIG building. You can.orser at counter to go...or be seated and have a server take your order. Very good food. Very friendly service. The menu isnt huge., But there is something for everyone! Our chips were FRESHLY fried & salsa was delicious.. TRY THIS PLACE!!!

Tacos were great and service was friendly. We got a pile of tacos, guacamole, and a cocktail and our bill was a whopping $20. The tacos are the street style kind, which are my favorite. Would definitely visit again.

Fantastic authentic street-style tacos, delicious large serving of pozole stew with tender chunks of meat on the bone. Very friendly staff. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

Confused!?!?I give them a C- on all the basics. The menu is not put together well, almost confusing. Their decor is almost non-existent. Tables and chairs are spread around randomly. Kitchen equipment is in the dining area. The TV was in a test pattern. There was a motorized spot-light that kept flashing on our table every few minutes (why?).Even with all of these warning signs, we thought maybe the food would be good, so we sat down and ordered dinner. The staff were fast and friendly. The margaritas were made well and came very quickly. Our meal also came to us within a few minutes. Unfortunately, some of the food was barely warm. The cheese in a chile relleno came out in one solid piece. Too bad, bc the flavors were good. The preparation was not good. Finally the $$$ were higher than average. They are going to need someone to come in there and make a lot of changes if theyre going to make it.

Weve now gone two times and will be back regularly. Aesthetically it may not be pleasing to someone who is used to some of the more local Americanized restaurants. But the food is by far the best in the area. It reminds us of some of the Cantinas we stopped into down in Cabo. Simple tables and chairs, bright colored walls, great food served with a smile.

Empty on a Saturday night. Service was horrible, waitress didnt really know what was in the burritos. Margaritas were over priced and not from scratch. The person on FB or some Tacoma page that gave this a good review, why, where and who are you?! Do not go to this place. It was best as a Flakey Jakes.

We went here for lunch and there werent many people in there. We were served quickly by a very nice lady. The orders came out pretty fast and really hit the spot. Great place!

Some of the best Mexican food Ive had in Washington State! They marinate the meat to the extent you dont need to add salsa on your carne asada tacos. The salsa are amazing! The tortillas are grilled just enough for a slight crunch and grease to the goods. The horchata is not too sweet and adds a great balance to your meal. The menu reminds me of all my SoCal favorites: tortas, mole, posole, and I cant remember the name of the dish in the heated mocajté but its on the menu. Im going back!

I was super excited when I first went, because there is hardly any good Hispanic restaurants out here. The food was great and the drinks the waitress was super nice and sweet I loved it all!

Food was alright but nothing special. Staff was friendly and service was good. Looking forward to them starting live music. The salsa bar was tiny with only 8 items total.

Good food .The waitress are savy and there to please just ask.Chili Verde was very good.Place is wide open and large, but the people that work there warm to the people that eat there.

Amazing authentic tacos!!!!So glad I found a good spot in tacoma for quality REAL Mexican food.Service is very friendly. Prices are very affordable.

Very good food! Nice place. Full bar with TVs and a stage. They were getting ready for Cinco de mayo. Oh they also have, 99 Street tacos on Tuesdays!

Went to try this joint, when it was new, but stopped at the door, when I saw the sticker, in the window, prohibiting customers from being armed. Does the owner really think that bad guys will obey a sign? I refuse to spend my money at an establishment that does not support my Constitutional right to defend myself.

This place has custom made me dishes (replacing meat with avocado and onions, cheese with beans) and then charged me less. They serve authentic salsas, pickled carrots and sides; the sides are economical and their tortilla tastes home made. They serve aguas frescas, horchata, mulitas, gorditas and tortas. As well, they use real dishes and recycled napkins.Go now for the Grand Opening!

Dj was playing good music but changing the song to soon. If people are dancing let the song play a little longer. I get that the place has to make money, but damn. They do not charge a fee to get in but prices for drinks are crazy. 1 shot of hypnotic $20, can bud light $5, long island ice tea 6oz cup with ice $10, bottle of warm water $2. And they dont know how to make mixed drinks. Very disappointed.

Newish casual place, very friendly staff, prices and portions are excellent. Food quality was great as well. In my top 3 for casual Mexican

The place is a nice size and has potential to be a successful nightclub. The problem is the DJ changes the music too soon, in the middle of a song he changes it. The DJ doesnt mix the music very well, meaning it doesnt blend into the next son . Now entrance is free the drinks are too expensive for this place. One drink $12 in a small drink. Beers are only $5 which is reasonable. In the $12 drinks minimal alcohol. The selection is minimal also. There are plenty of seating. Large dance floor. A lot of potential if advertised correctly. The bartenders are nice.

Reasonable prices. Delicious food. Fast and friendly service. Its close to home and well become regulars there. 😁

Always yummy, love the shrimp tacos and this is the only place that has Pozole! We drive from Belfair for it lol. Good stuff!

Service good but my food wasnt- chicken was overcooked and dry. Beabs,rice and salad were good and excellent margarita.

People sleep on this place, but they have a very friendly staff and great food! Love coming to this place since most Mexican food places arent that great in this area.

Excellent food and the service was super! Cant wait to go back.

Margaritas were advertised at 3.50 ended up paying 14 for two drinks. Establishment was empty and waitress couldnt tell us what types of meets were in the burritos. Empty place is a sign to stay away. Do not go here.

Open dining area, good prices on food and drinks. Very friendly staff. If you speak Spanish, they do too, so dont worry.

Dont go expecting a great atmosphere but the food is good and its about as close to authentic Mexican on this end of town.

Good food friendly service and very cheap price on everything

Pretty good food but prices went up after third week open. Not fair.

Didnt even set foot inside. Went here with family and when we opened the door the staff was playing hardcore hip hop so loud that i couldnt hear the family member standing next to me outside the restaurant. If yall dont want customers why be open?

Food is really good. Service not the best but our waitress tried her best.

Omg. The. Worst Service ever.. I tried to complain to the waiter but it was like he didnt care.. Dont go there if you have big parties.

It’s like an indoor taco bus.

Awesome place to eat. Food was perfect. I will be back

Excellent food, as good or better than any of the other, more well-known local chains. Similarly priced.

Food was decent wait staff was friendly prices seemed ok just seemed empty

We went to walk in and noticed the sign that they prohibit the right to bare arms. We wont support a local business that doesnt allow us to protect ourselves. So we left.

Great service, great food, great prices! Friendly helpful staff! Awesome!

Wow, Im hard to impress when it comes to food. This place was very delicious.

Nice street tacos, great staff. Large venue, very open floor plan and bar.

My daughter told me about it . that is was the best one she been to in Tacoma as. We are from California. An this is as good as California.

The best Mexican food in town, awesome and friendly customer service.

The servers were not organized, there was no communication between co workers. Didnt ask for chips and salsa but I thought that was a given.

The service sucked went for my moms birthday . The worst part was the waitress had to be asked for utensils several minutes after food was served

Very good food. It looks like it might be a good party place at night too.

Food was good and service. Wish they had a changing table.

Food is okay. Drinks are good. Service was a bit slow. No atmosphere.

Food was amazing, no atmosphere whatsoever. Restaurant layout is strange

Magnificent site!!! Broad!! And a stage where they have presentations. I liked it a lot! As an art promoter I recommend it for your cultural programming. I imagine that all types of Latin and Caribbean music can be presented here. The food and cocktails are fabulous. I totally recommend it.

Wow! Delighted with the well-made food, rich and fresh, and above all, the super friendly people, they offer time and time again for a refill if you ask them for chips, they kindly take you whenever they are the lady who was there yesterday, Sunday the 30th. Wow, beautiful, she has very captivating attention. We were going to make that restaurant part of us, my family was very happy, I give them 100%100

Delicious food and very good customer service recommended

Very good restaurant and good food, I recommend it

It is already closed, in fact the premises are for sale. They should say that he is no longer working.

Very good.
