50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Malden

“Me la comida es muy buena“

“We came for a conference here in Lowell and it broke out for lunch and thousands of people were looking for a place to eat all at once so it was super super busy and the line was long but the gentleman who was the server, the bus boy and everthing else all in one... did a fantastic job.. all with a smile and great service. The food was one of the best I've had in a Mexican restuaruant as well so I know the cooks know what they are doing. I can not get over how one man got everything done with such an amazing attitude. I hope noone complains about the wait because the service and food were outstanding.“

“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.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Taco Azul and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

The moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the Owner Dan who made me feel instantly at home. Their genuine hospitality and attentiveness set the tone for the evening. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, checking in on us periodically without being intrusive.

Our server, Michelle was equally remarkable. She were knowledgeable about the menu, provided excellent recommendations, and exhibited an impeccable level of professionalism. They truly made me feel like valued guests, attending to every detail with a friendly and accommodating attitude.

And then there was the food — absolutely phenomenal! Every dish was a work of art, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The Quesa-steak were standout items that I can’t stop thinking about. The ingredients were fresh, and the balance of flavors showcased the skill and passion of the culinary team.

The combination of outstanding service, a welcoming atmosphere, and incredible food made this dining experience truly exceptional. Taco Azul deserves all the accolades, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal. I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“Good food and good customer service.“

“I enjoyed the relaxing patio“

“Soooooo good and delicious“

“When your breakfast just hits the spot & the nostalgia kicks in. Never disappointed when we come. Same timeless flavors today as they were 14 years ago. We have eaten here numerous times of the past 14 years Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. This location has very intimate seating for about 25 people. If your coming on the weekend expect a wait. Well worth it ! We have eaten everything on the menu and our most recent visit was for breakfast. Everything on the menu is delicious and flavorful! Orange juice is freshly squeezed and just like everything else , it's delicious. Service is amazing it's nice to see the same faces. Everytime we have come we never wait very long for our food to come out. My go to is the Centro Americano brings back so many memories from my childhood. The scrambled eggs with chorizo, the plátano maduro, queso fresco , avocado and the frijoles the tortillas Mmmmmmm. My husband always likes the Chilaquiles with green sauce. If you want traditional American breakfast they have that also. So this is a stop for everyone! Hope you get to enjoy a meal here and make memories like we do .“

“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.“

“It was amazing. I can't believe that I live 2 streets away and haven't come to this place before.
The food was amazing, Paula was great, going from taking orders to making drinks to answering the phone...
I'm going back 100%. This is my new "I don't know what to eat" place.“

“Finally decided to stop and try it. It was amazing!!. Mom had the bowl with the haddock and I the burrito with shrimps. It was delicious.
Order one churro and one tres leches. At the end of the meal I left the restaurant with 4 additional deserts.
Hope you are here to stay.“

“We have loved Orale since they opened in 2020! We came here for our anniversary dinner and love the ambiance. The decor inside is so bright and fun, especially this time of year with Día de Los Muertos so close. We ordered tostones con guacamole, birria taco Jalisco style, and a pork torta. Drinks were amazing and the servers were very kind. I highly recommend for a fun dinner with friends or family!“

“Sydney is an absolute dream. I’ve never felt more comfortable and taken care of at a restaurant in my life. She is so personable and kind and made sure my friend and I had exactly what we needed throughout our time here, she made it hard to leave!

This girl deserves a raise because she was so incredibly on top of everything and so efficient and she was so knowledgeable. It was our first time here and this will now be my go to restaurant. Thank you Sydney keep being amazing!!!!“

“This is an unpretentious small Mexican food restaurant. It is decorated by three self-portraits of Frida kahlo and has metal chairs at small tables. You go to the counter for service. And order from an extensive menu and then they bring it to your table. The plates are fairly traditional and they were good. Nice portions. I had three pork Verde enchiladas and I found them to be really quite good.“

“I’m from Los Angeles and this ranked with some of the best Mexican food there.“

“Without a doubt an extraordinary experience, the food was very good 10 out of 10 and the service was one of the best, especially the young man at the bar "José", an excellent person, very friendly, provides very good recommendations, excellent service!

A very pleasant experience!!

Thank you José for your excellent service!“

“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!!“

“I had the pork tacos which I thought were incredibly delicious some of the best tacos I've had since I came back from California . Service was great, they're open very late for food service. My friend had a burger and fries which he also loved. It's a thumbs up for me“

“Parking was a challenge but worth it.“

“Delicious margarita Excellent fajitas Terrific service“

“Awesome, as always. Moving out of the area soon… but will Make a special trip back Here, for sure!“

“I recently had them cater a party and everything was delicious! There was not a single complaint! I ordered 300 tacos, half corn half flour. I ordered veggie, chicken, carnitas and carne asada. It came with all the sides. Only thing I would have done differently was order extra guacamole, it was delicious! One of the owners delivered everything and was the absolute sweetest! It came with everything to keep them warm as well. I also find out they will come and make the Tacos fresh if you are ever having an event. I highly recommend La Ofrenda Taqueria! Literally a 10/10.“
