El Malecon - (Near Odessa, TX)

5 /5 Chastity Wyer: ¡Muy delicioso! Great atmosphere and the food is definitely on point! Walked in last night and there was a mariachi band playing. We were seated quickly and ordered drink within 2 minutes. Our server was really sweet and made sure that we had everything we needed. The menu shows accurate pictures of what you order, and the portion sizes are very generous. Once we ordered our food, we didnt have to wait long before we received it. All of the food was hot (almost as if they took it straight from the kitchen when they finished it) and tasted AMAZING!! We will definitely be back!

1 /5 David Muniz: Food was good. Service wasnt that great. There was certain things I wasnt to fond off. The waitress took a very long time to go and check on the table. One of the things I was not very happy about was they charged you 18% right away on the ticket. They are supposed to charge the 18% on a party of 6 or more. It was just 2 people that was eating there. They didnt want to fix that! I dont mind leaving tip, but if you are taking a long time to check up on your tables and just talking to your coworkers and on your phones, uou will not get a good tip or wont even get a tip. Definitely not going back!

2 /5 John Darville: 9/4/25: Horrible service with no one else there. Weary of non-English speaking servers that group up and talk, ignoring customers … and we were one only ones there around 1:30. Wanted Queso ($5.99) but would have to buy chips as well $2.00. So chips and queso would cost over $10.00 with tax and tip. Love the food, but poor service and high expense will certainly influence where I eat. 7/18/25: Received very good service today from Lizbeth. She was properly attentive, prompt and courteous. She managed not speaking English and my not speaking Spanish very well. Food, Daniella with jalapeños added, was outstanding. Hate paying for chips and salsa but I was asked this time if I wanted them before bringing and charging me $1.99 for them. 6/4/25: The review remains the same with no improvement. Good food. Fair, at best, service. Waited 15 minutes for ticket and to-go box while nine employees stood and visited in view and my server to be seen. Customer service training would make a world of difference. Has the potential to be outstanding. Like Hacienda Vieja, he food was great, hot and prompt. However the service is far behind that found at Hacienda. I would consider the place to be quite slow. Walked in and waited to be seated in front of 4 employees and a musician. Finishing their conversation was much more important to them than greeting a customer. There was constantly 3-5 servers huddled around the work stations …. rather then tending to the few customers that were in attendance.

3 /5 chris carlile: 1st time here & my truly honest opinion is very mixed. I had the fish tacos grilled and they were superb! But French fries are not what I would consider a complimentary side dish. My awesome wife had a Mexican combo, taco, enchilada & rice and beans. It was not temp hot at all. Almost cool to touch. Our waitress spoke literally no English. She was very helpful and tried very hard. Someone spent a lot of money on the refurbishing of this establishment. Atmosphere is OK except for the overbearing sound. It is rather loud with music, but the acoustic effects make it hard to have conversations. It’s up to you to decide what you think. Very doubtful. I’ll come back.
