I'm from Concord, I like to eat mariscos. I'm going to various restaurants looking for the best campechana. El Malecón has the best campechans in the area thus far.

Food wasn’t too good and for the price which was about $30 just for a plate plus the drink felt it was not worth it

Very disappointing. Went for lunch, ordered the snapper and shrimp. Both were totally overcooked and tough. For a fish restaurant it is a bit ridiculous. Menu is only in Spanish and no-one there spoke English. Server was pleasant enough. Wont go back.

I ordered my food to go, I got a large cóctel mixto, and WOW it was good, and jam packed with octopus and shrimp. I’ve never eaten one that was so generous with the portions! Great job!

My husband ordered a Torre as he usually does when we go out to any Mariscos restaurant. We love Avocado! But this Torre was 90% Avocado and 10% seafood. No Onions.. though I think I had enough Avocado to last me a lifetime the servers were understanding about it and tried to fix the situation. Next time we come ill tell him to order something different. Lol

Very comfortable sitting area outside. The service was good but the food was definitely not ok. We got served some seafood that was not ok to be served. The cooked shrimp were definitely not cook that same day or maybe cooked with bad shrimp. Callo de acha was bad. Pretty much all the mariscos were not ok to be served. After spitting out several bites and trying my hardest to just eat it either way, I had to let them know that the seafood they served was bad. They were nice about it except Panchito in the kitchen seemed upset. We felt very bad letting them know but Panchito should’ve been the one feeling bad serving seat that had gone bad. Should’ve pulled out the fresh stuff. Anyway careful where you eat fresh seafood.
