Actually incredible. All the food was so fresh and delicious. You wont believe me unless you come. Did not expect to have such a great meal when we came around this area. Definitely get the churros. Amazing

Mala Madre served up great cocktails and food for us. Their guacamole was fresh and the perfect heat for us. I had three different tacos, and all three were great. I was especially fond of the chorizo taco. The margaritas were excellent. We also tried the namesake cocktail, and while I am sure it's not for everyone (they even warned us about the smokiness of the mezcal), we thought it was spectacular. Highly recommended!
One nice touch: my daughter's phone's battery was nearly dead, and they brought her a paper menu without being asked.

Absolutely love this place ..we went here first time with group of 7 .. the food was amazing we tried the burritos 🌯 ommg!!! Speechless 😶 it was awesome we never had a taste like that ..the tacos chicken was amazing well cooked & very tasty 😋...also we ordered the quesadillas that was so good ...they have so many other options too ...the area was small but there was no waiting area ...I don't like the one thing they offer the soft drinks directly from bottle not in glasses with straws or icee ...bcz without it it's too strong !!! Other wise we love ❤️ the food or everything!! Definitely will go back 👌🏻👍🏻

My friend and I wanted to try a New Mexican spot and narrowed it down to 2 locations. We ended up choosing Mala Madre Taqueria based on photos and some reviews. Here how our experience went... First Impression: Mildly busy with half the seating available. No wait during our 2 hour stay. Greeting: We walked in the door and were a little confused if we're supposed to sit ourselves or be seated. We headed toward the back of the restaurant toward the bar where we found a waiter. Seating: He asked how many we said 2 and he pointed us to a small table. Mr friend and I like to sample the menu so we prefer a bigger table. We asked to be seated at bigger table and the waiter said no he can't do that (the larger tables remained empty our entire stay). We accepted defeat and sat at the smaller table and were instructed to scan the QR code for the menu. Drinks: I Ordered a margarita (kept it simple) and a Pomelo cocktail. The Margarita had a nice balance however my friend did not enjoy her drink. The drinks were the best thing we had that evening Food: We placed our order in for an appetizer and entree. We got a vegetarian Burrito, chorizo burrito and Guacamole & Chips (we would've got more if we had space on the table). To be honest I would've enjoyed chipotle better. For some reason the entree came out before the appetizer and if we didn't follow up with the waiter we probably would've been waiting even longer. The Food Just lacked flavor and disappointingly dry. Service: I have to give the service a 1 star. When we walked in the greeting lacked energy almost as if were weren't welcomed. When we asked for a larger table in the mostly empty restaurant we were not accommodated, which we can understand if they were busy. However, the waiters had a lot of attitude from the start and were not very attentive. We may try it again but next year.

Probably the best Mexican place I’ve ever eaten from. The food is beyond delicious, the staff has outstanding customer service. The owner Alex is always present and interacts with everyone! If I could give this place 1000 stars I would. Once you eat there you’ll never want to eat anywhere else! It’s honestly THE BEST

Nice little place in East Meadow/Westbury. It’s small so I won’t be surprised if folks start lining up outside the door. Food is fresh and delicious AND they have a full bar!!!

I love coming here on my lunch break. the food is so very good. the chips and Salsa fresh!. Birria burrito was delicious and the birria tacos too! the best Horchata I ever had!
The food was great the last time I came here. Unfortunately I couldn't say the same for this time. As the place was much busier then usual, there was an open table in the back but the server had us wait for someone else to leave. Did not even wipe the table down or ask us what we want to drink, not even brining out warer. As we sat around for ~10 minutes. Trying to flag either of the servers down who were either bringing food out or just doing random things and chatting behind the bar. I would recommend going to a different place at night as the service experience drops

I ordered a beef tongue burrito and it tasted like regular shredded beef with a lot of rice; the salsa verde had an aftertaste.

The team wanted to try out a location, so we picked this location. We walked in and the gentlemen that was taking order, working the registered and more had a bad attitude. I understand you might not been expecting a crowd to support the business but we were willing to support and even be patient for you to get your staff together and more. For waiting that long, no water or chips & dip etc. Some of my team left after 30 minutes but what made it worse is trying to make everyone stop a table combine to one bill to make your job easier. All the wrong approach and with that, I would not recommend this location. Food is distasteful with bad service. With good to great service at any location, I would buy a $2 bottle of jarritos for $15.

Food is very good, but they charge tax on each item + they charge you again on the total.
