El Malecon is a hidden gem in the heartbeat of New Britain. The food had my tastebuds popping. The service was welcoming.

I made specific requests for al pastor tacos, women came back to the front and never said if it could be done or not, I leave get home to see I was missing what I requested for, was overcharged and rushed...$15 for 3 tacos is insane...Go to Taco Bell or somewhere else!!!

This is my first time trying this restaurant the tacos are really good packed with a lot of flavor my only issue is I feel like I was overcharged for the tacos I paid 16$ for three el pastor tacos but on their website it says they do three set of tacos for 10$ with your choice of protein and then if u want one el pastor tacos it’s 4.20$ so if you get three it would be 12.60$ before tax. Now I know tax wouldn’t equate to 4$ so I feel like I was taken advantage of because it’s my first time going there.

Everything is great ...the food the atmosphere the way this lady cleans up her restaurant is very clean and respectful and attentive. The bathroom is always very clean and smell good. The parking is on street but no parking fee. The lady is quick to take your order and always a few different meats to choose from between ox tail and beef and chicken legs to stew. Also has seafood salad and whole chickens to order. She has deserts and great homeland music playing. Everything is home made and from her heart. My family has come here for many years and will keep returning the prices can not be beat and the food is plentiful. Thank you .

We Went in and the lady there was nice at first. We got 4 plates, small plate of spaghetti and 3 can coke soda.. total was $93!!!!! What !!! What is this a fancy restaurant ?!? I’m assuming the lady was the owner and she left to who knows where and waited 15 mins for her to come back and never did.. the guy there then said I’ll charge you only $71 but a total of $79 with tax … $8 of tax ??! Ridiculous!!!! Stay away ! go to a fancy restaurant instead !!

Extremely rude and kicked me out of their restaurant all because they were impatient and kicked me out since I was on an important phone call

I do not recommend this place because not only they don’t have prices displayed they also don’t tell you the prices or have any menu’s to display them. The food was cold, not fresh and they use too much vinegar and wicked expensive.

Junk!! Expensive!!

I can’t believe the lady charged me for a small order of 3 pieces of “carne frita” and two “guineos verdes” $10; meat was two day old and hard to chew, although bananas were okay, didn’t taste good. Won’t see me eating there again.
