Very good experience here. Enjoyed the potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms. Also had the spicy sausages and (separately) shrimp. Gin and tonic could have been chilled better, but the service was excellent. Hidden gem.
I met some friend for brunch. They have a bottomless tapas menu that also includes drinks. Everything was delicious. My favorites were the beef empanadas, bacon wrapped dates, and the French toast.
We tried their Bottomless Brunch for Mother's Day and they fix not disappoint. All of the good was amazing, great portions for tapas, and attentive service. We will definitely be back!
The staff at La Malinche is super friendly, which is always a plus. For my visit, I had an easy, breezy margarita and happy hour nachos. The restaurant has a pretty generous happy hour special with food and beverages ranging from $5 to $15. I really enjoyed the nachos because they were made with queso blanco (I think). While my visit was very short, I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying out more dishes....and margaritas.
Still just a good! Good portion sizes. Excellent flavors. The tinta is heavenly but if you like sweeter drinks go with the Cava. You won't be disappointed! Food is almost as authentic as it gets. The only tapa I didn't like was the croquetas de pollo. Taste more like a fish stick. Loved both empanadas but the chicken was the winner. Waitress was excellent!
