The cheese ones with a sprinkle of sugar, as recommended, was definitely my favorite! I enjoyed the beef one and did not care as much for the chicken one. I asked the waiter what I should get as I was torn. Of course I don't recall what it was, but I enjoyed it. I'm not usually a plantains person, but I really enjoyed them with this dish. It was very filling and flavorful. My husband ordered a spicy dish and enjoyed it as well. Our waiter did a great job with our large group. He was friendly and provided a ton of recommendations we were all happy with. The bathrooms were clean, as was the rest of the restaurant. I will go back, especially for the cheese empanadas.

I suggest getting reservations, but we were able to get a table for four walking in early on a Saturday. Never felt rushed throughout. Unbelievably good Lomo Saltado, and sampled each of my family's dishes. Our server, Felipe, was outstanding, and we also appreciated the table visit from Mariella, the manager, who explained some of our dinner items. One of the better restaurants in the Metro!

Where do you start with such magnificance?…read more We were going elsewhere, but it was closed for vacation. We looked across the way and Lizzie said, let's go there. Neither of us had had Puerto Rican food, so we went for it. We started with the Trio appetizers. We had the beef Empanadilla, which was amazing, especially with the spicey mayo-esque sauce that comes with it. The chicken Alcapurrias, which were a surprise. I am not sure what I expected, but it was a new flavor to me. This wonderful, almost vinagery sort of undertone to it. I loved it. The Sorullitos, are a really tasty corn fritter, loved those as well. Lizzie had the Chicharrones De Pollo Mofongo with the Tostones. The Chicharrones were magnificent. Wonderful crunch on the outside, lovely and soft on the inside. She thought the Tostone were a little too salty, I really liked them. Both meals were on a bed of mashed green Plantains, which were marvelous. Rich, and thick and flavorful. I had the Carne De Cerdo Frita Mofongo, same sort of frying as Lizzie's chicken, same quality. Wonderful crunch to it. I had the potato salad. Lizzie preferred it. I thought it was wonderful as well. I am so glad that by chance we stumbled on this amazing little restaurant. We will go back soon!

The Pleasant and knowledgeable owner described some of the fan favorites which intrigued me in ordering an appetizer-- a deep fried ball stuffed with mash potatoes and ground beef with a garlic sauce on the side -- surprisingly not oily but deliciously flavored -- this is one I would order again. My entree was another dish I have never had -- Mofongo -- mashed plantains served in a dome shape -- richly spiced with garlic, olive oil, oregano and a plethora of other spices which brought this dish to above and beyond other Caribbean entrees that I have tried. The spices all complimented each other to make your sit down meal full of surprising goodness that put you in a Zen mood that made the peaceful environment feel down--home. Now go and " bomba."

If you're in this neighborhood and looking for good Latin American food, please skip the nearby…read moreTasty Tacos and come here instead. The free chips and salsa (with two types of salsas and ceviche included) are phenomenal and the seafood dishes are unique. One dish, that I've yet to try, is served inside a halved pineapple! But don't worry if you're not into seafood; there are a lot of other options as well, including chicken, fish, and steak tacos that I come for at least once a week. What I love about this place is that they don't cut corners on flavorful toppings. Normally when I order fajitas somewhere, the plate is 90% meat and maybe 10% veggies (because, in our weird food economy, meat is actually cheaper to source than fresh veggies). But as my family sat to eat here on a Saturday afternoon, we watched multiple staff cart in crates of fresh onions and tomatoes from the nearby market, and our orders were loaded not just with wonderfully-seasoned meats but lots of beautifully cooked veggies too. The corn tortillas, too, are fresh and have a satisfying texture, and they are always served piping hot. That they do all of this at such a low price point is really impressive.

Overall pretty average food experience at malo nothing very impressing for upscale Mexican.
