El Malecon offers a variety of seafood dishes, with standout items such as the cóctel mixto, known for its generous portions of octopus and shrimp. However, the molcajete dish has been criticized for being overly salty, overcooked, and oily, with some confusion over the preparation. Service can be slow, especially during busy periods, and there have been issues with attentiveness. The restaurant's prices are on the higher side, with chips and salsa incurring an additional charge. The ceviche has received mixed reviews, with some guests praising the mojarra frita. It is important to note that the restaurant only accepts cash payments, with a $20 fee imposed for credit card transactions. Overall, El Malecon provides a clean and pleasant dining environment, with mixed opinions on the quality and value of its food offerings.
