50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Malden

“First time visiting. We visit a lot of Mexican restaurants in and around the North Shore, and have our favorites. This is for sure a new favorite for us. The customer service at the location in Malden was excellent, our waitress was so polite, personable, and the right amount of attentive. The restaurant was spotless, I mean, SPOTLESS, including the restroom. The rest of the staff checked in, and the food was excellent.“

“I’ve overlooked this place for far too long! Everything I ordered was delicious!! And not too expensive either.“

“Today I was having a pretty off morning and I’ve been super exhausted, I walked into this restaurant today and I am there pretty often and the owner had told me I seemed pretty tired today which is true, she told me that she hopes I have a better day. I ordered my food and sat down and she comes out with something for me to try, now she didn’t have to do this but I truly appreciate it and she may not know it but that made my day better. Every time I go in there they show great hospitality and always treat their customers with respect and create a comfortable environment and also amazing food. I will always recommend this spot to all my friends & clients !!“

“THIS PLACE WENT FROM BEING ONE OF THE BEST GEMS TO A PLACE THAT FEELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE TO EVEN SET A FOOT IN. I'VE BEEN TO THIS PLACE FOR OVER 10 YEARS, SINCE PANDEMIC HAVE NOT GONE. WE FINALLY WENT, THE MINUTE I WALKED IN THE PERSON AT CASHIER SAID WHEN YOUR READY TO ORDER YOU COME HERE, BLINDED BY IT AS IS A RESTAURANT NOT A FAST FOOD SPOT I LOOKED AT HER AND ASK FOR THE MENU SHE LOOKS AT ME AND POINTS INFRONT OF HER TO GO GET IT MIND YOU, THERE ARE 3 OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO WORK THERE .....I LET IT PASS AND TRIED TO GIVE THIS PLACE A SECOND CHANCE COMING BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK AS THE FOOD ACTUALLY WAS GOOD THE WEEK PRIOR. WELL SERVICE WAS ONLY WORSE THIS TIME AROUND, THE WOMAN AT CASHIER LOOKED BOTHER BY JUST BEING THERE TAKING OUR ORDER AS THE TIME PRIOR OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO ALSO WORKED THERE STANDING JUST THERE. WE GET OUR FOOD REALIZING I GOT CORN TORTILLAS ASKED IF THEY CAN BE SWITCHED TO FLOURONE OF THE EMPLOYEES RESPONSE WELL IF YOU DON'T EAT THEM THERE GOING TO THE TRASH AND I AM LOOKING AT HER LIKE OKAY IS FINE CAN I PAY FOR AN EXTRA ORDER OF TORTILLAS OF FLOUR. THE AMOUNT OF DISPLEASSURE THESE WOMAN HAVE BEING THEIR IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SERVED, ASIDE FROM THE FOOD FEELING SO RUSH THIS TIME AROUND AS WE GOT THERE AT 8 THEY CLOSED AT 10PM. I UNDERSTAND RESTAUTANT INDUSTRY IS NOT EASY BUT FOR ME TO GO TO AND SPEND MY MONEY IN A PLACE THAT FEELS SO FORCED TO WORK IS NOT WORTH MY TIME NOR MONEY.“

“Yes I am received very good attention from the people who are working there and the food was very good!“

“Great food but lately El Jefe's is taking a hit on bad reviews due to @GrubHub's poor ordering system with algorithm issues which I have brought to their attention, and seems they still haven't fixed since I placed an order months prior. On 3 separate occasions on the same date and time I received my order incorrect. When I compared the order from my GrubHub account against the receipt received from El Jefe's, it was determined I was missing many items from my burrito bowl. I contacted GrubHub in which they kept refunding me, and I also mentioned the issue. I ordered El Jefe's 2 more times and the same error occurred both times. I could see once they mess up the order due to reading it wrong but not 3x. El Jefe's only puts an order together based on the ordering slips they receive from GrubHub, so if something is off with GrubHub's ordering system that is what the restaurant is receiving and thus creating the order from. As much as these food delivery services are ripping off these restaurants, they got a nerve to make the restaurant take accountability for their mess ups and ordering errors. They're already scamming these vendors out of $$$ and continue to affect these companies in a negative manner. Time for these vendors to go back to the old delivery ways and cut the greedy middle man! These good delivery services are a total rip off with their high fees, whacked discounts that don't add up, and lack of customer service.“

“I have been to Patzacuaro no less than 40 times and every single time the food is phenomenal. The servers could not be more polite and they have an excellent spicy margarita. I go out to eat quite a bit and this is my favorite restaurant in the greater boston area.“

“Wow, what a happy little accident we had stumbling into Angela’s Cafe before a flight. We only had an hour before needing to drop off a rental and head out from BOS, and Angela’s was one of the few places open on July 4th. Couldn’t have been happier to have found it.

The service was stellar from the beginning. The place is very small, but given it was 100+ outside, one man was holding the door so it stayed cool inside for patrons. Our server was attentive and quick, helping us with the menu and doing it with a smile.

The food was excellent as well! We had the al pastor tacos, huevos poblanos, and a side of plantains. The price was extremely reasonable for Boston (we’re from the midwest) and I even got an iced coffee to cool down on a miserably hot day.

We were in and out in 30-45 minutes, with plenty of time to take the car back and leave Boston. We’ll remember our time at Angela’s fondly.“

“it was a real plesure working for matthew mcconaughey at chubbs of dorester bartender joco john Collins showed me a video of a what might have been a man or might a women giving a blow job on his phone, bartender tom say snitches get stitches, microphone check drink thanks for the psychosis. manager keys learned her management skills at combat zone in scollay square, my grandfather and dad got guns pulled at union Hall in the 80's, I wonder why chose to cross the picket line, my dad got hit in head by a mixer and bleeding out of his eyes, ears and nose and cousin told him to go sit on the tailgate of truck instead of telling him to get a ride to the hospital he quit working for his father and uncle to take a job at union construction compqny Spillane construction. PS Why do your hats not say maverick, @ maverick Hospitality maybe you open a place next middlebeast next.. I wonder the dos equivalent reps buddy who just just came from sox game was its so hard to make a comeback its really not though“

“Love Tu y Yo in Somerville but quite a drive for us. This has the same owners and much of the same menu and is much closer. This restaurant was wonderful! My favorites are the cactus salad, the tamales, plantains, and birria tacos. Mole wasn't my favorite, and pozole was good but a bit salty. Staff were really friendly and welcoming! Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“I went here with a friend for a quick dinner before going out to watch the World Cup game, but unfortunately we had to stay longer because there was a bad storm. We didn’t mind at all though since they had the game on the TVs and the food and drinks were delicious! I had the pozole and a few different margarita flavors. My friend ate the fajitas and loved them. Will definitely go back!“

Drinks were epic. Food was so good! Will definitely come back. Thank you to the hostess for fitting us in. She was a doll.“

The owners are amazing and genuinely kind, and the staff is just as warm and welcoming. You can really feel the passion behind this place. The atmosphere is lively, cozy, and just such a great vibe overall. I cannot recommend it enough!“

“La Victoria has long been a go-to option if I need a quick and affordable lunch option, but this past week I got catering platters from them for the Friday night dinner for our out of town guests for my son's bar mtizvah. Everything was delicious, and it was easy for people to mix and match what they wanted to eat -- a real benefit for feeding a crowd. Alex at La Victoria made the ordering process easy! We will definitely do this again!!“

“first time there and the food was 😋“

“Spending our 21st anniversary in Boston. Margaritas Revere really took care of us. If we ever make it back to Boston will definitely be dining at Margaita's Revere. Treated us like family. Sheila and Sean are awesome!! Thank you for making our anniversary amazing!!“

“Chipotle is good but QDOBA is definitely better. I visit this location almost every week and the staff are very friendly, keeps the place very clean and the food is fresh. 6 or so sauces are the best and gives various flavors and makes the food very delicious“

“Their AL Pastor tacos are excellent my goto.“
