Guacamole and cheese dip
Sarah A.

This was a nice standard dining experience. It was around the level of Cheesecake Factory. It was prepared well but not breathtaking. I'd return but may not be my first recommendation. The salmon was cooked perfectly but lacked flavor. The texture of the mashed potatoes was amazing but lacked flavor. It was the crab sauce on the side that provided the missing flavor but I wish everything stood on its own. The cheese dip appetizer was small and hard to manipulate. The chips were said to be "fresh" but tasted store bought. The Brussel sprouts was delicious but was in a bed of oily vinegar which soaked through it in a way that counteracted some of the balance. This place is very close to being phenomenal but it just missed the mark. I think with a few adjustments, there's a lot of potential. The ambiance and staff were excellent.

I had the pleasure of attending the soft opening at Maldo's Steak and Sea tonight, and let me just say--it was an incredible experience! Set to officially open this Thursday, this restaurant is already making waves with its stunning ambiance and mouthwatering menu. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by high ceilings and beautiful decor that exudes a luxurious modern style. The atmosphere is perfect for a night out, whether it's a special occasion or just a well-deserved treat! We kicked things off with the Shrimp Empanadas, and wow! These golden, flaky empanadas are bursting with shrimp and melted queso asadero, perfectly complemented by the morita mayo and pickled red onions. A must-try starter! For my main dish, I went with the Smoked Chicken, which was nothing short of phenomenal. This mesquite-smoked half chicken was served with smoky salsa tatemada, frijoles charros, cilantro-lime rice, and a fresh arugula and radish salad drizzled with poppy seed dressing. The skin was perfectly crispy, and even though I'm not usually a fan of cilantro, the rice was absolutely ON POINT! I couldn't get enough. Boo chose the Braised Short Rib in Mole and it was heavenly! Overnight-braised short rib topped with Maldo's signature mole sauce and a crunchy pepita seed topping, served with golden plantain molotes. Each bite was packed with flavor! And we couldn't resist ending on a sweet note with the Mexican Hot Chocolate Molten Cake. This decadent dark chocolate treat, paired with warm cinnamon crème anglaise and topped with a crispy "buñuelo de viento" and vanilla gelato, was the perfect finale to our meal. OMG, I ate everything! I also want to give a shoutout to the General Manager, Julio. He was very involved in the soft opening, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that guests had a great experience. Our server, Julia, also took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch. I can't recommend Maldo's Steak and Sea enough! I'm already counting down the days until their grand opening. Don't miss out on this gem--get ready for a fantastic dining experience!

I watched the progress of this place opening for months and once it was open my husband reserved our table for dinner. We came early on a Sunday evening around 5:30 pm. We read there was a dress code which we honored --- some of the patrons however, did not. Regardless, this is a place that has beautiful décor and great if you want to have a celebratory dinner. The dining area is fairly large and they also had live music (singer) during the dinner service. The employees take pride in their work. Our server was Jordan C. and he was phenomenal. Not only was he personable, but he answered all our questions about the menu, gave us his recommendations and also made sure we were happy with our drink and food and beverage selections. We tried the complimentary beans and it was a unique way to start the meal. We shared the scallops for our appetizer and they were cooked just right - tender, flavorful and the accompanying chorizo and corn side was delicious. It was my favorite thing I ate that night. The only reason it overshadowed my meal: salmon with broccoli and potato is because the salmon, its seafood sauce and my broccolini were salty. Every component of it was salty and ultimately, I just gave it to my dinner mate to finish. I didn't mention it to our server because by this point someone else was giving him a (underserved) hard time, but also because I felt the measure of salt was probably subjective - as someone who doesn't consume salt in my foods, I have a low tolerance, so the likelihood is that it would have been difficult to distinguish what was too much for me and may have been fine for others. I didn't taste my companion's fries or steak but they enjoyed them. There were a few other things on the menu that I would possibly return to try in the future. I'd also like to check out the speakeasy and examine what that experience was. I was surprised by how many empty tables there were - hopefully the word gets out about this place and more people try and support it as it is a nice place to have in the area.

Very smooth cab

This was a pleasant surprise. We were looking for somewhere new to eat and wanted steak. The wife picked Maldo's just based on a steakhouse search. When we arrived, we were pleased to see the ambiance inside. Maldo's had a live piano playing beautiful music and the decor was absolutely amazing. I had the 8oz fillet and the wife had the ribeye. Steaks were cooked to perfection and the craft cocktails were on point. The service was outstanding and very knowledgeable of the wine list. Maldo's is a must try for anyone looking for a nice relaxing dinner. Once done eating, check out the Ocean club at the back of the restaurant to finish of your perfect evening.

Had me an Old Fashioned with tequila and not gonna lie... it was good af.
Joe G.

Maldo's hit different -- half a chicken, a steak, Old Fashioned in hand, wife with a mint mojito, and piano in the back. Classy vibes and the perfect way to wrap up a week

Mussels in a red curry

Brand new building with a very open concept. Service was excellent and the mussels were on point. The red curry sauce was amazing! We were able to tour the speakeasy that should be opening by the end of the month.

Red snapper A LA Talla for two it was the best with aïoli, steamed the broccolini, brown rice excellent.

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Met the ladies here to celebrate, & break bread…read more Thank you Jamila for selecting this original location of the Original Ninfas, to host, (our last supper, before your relocation from Houston to Florida.). A place I grew up in as a little girl in Beaumont but never have I've visit this "original" location. Stepping in to this spot felt like a restaurant in the country of Mexico. I ordered the El Henry. I absolutely loved my dish, only thing I would've chance was the cheese enchilada definitely would've swap for a chicken or beef one, or maybe even a flaunta. I really like the Mexican rice, it had little potatoes and carrots in it. Some of the best Mexican yellow rice I've had. They offer a cinco de mayo drink special. The only thing that seem to make it special was the drinks apparently were limited edition menu items. Nothing was special about the prices. The regular menu drinks were a dollar(s) less. The margarita I ordered first was peach coconut. I didn't taste the coconut at all. I swap for the peach strawberry ($14 or 15) which was great, sweet& strong. One did me just right. You get to select up to two flavors for additional $2 (for both verse each, that's a plus. Not worded on menu). If you select a third flavor an additional $2 would be added ($4 in total) I appreciate separate tickets provided after confirmation and no additional gratuity automatically added, which he got tip equally the same or more. When asked about the "empty" patio that was available, he informed us that the entire deck was reserved. Upon departing I noticed from the parking lot individual tables, of separate parties were occupying only 3 tables. It was 8 of us sitting at 2 tables. Which the table was pushed up against the wall, and one side was inaccessible, which took away spacing. Service was lovely space was really tight. Good thing some of the ladies didn't order full meals. Definitely wouldn't have been able to fit every plate.

Very Overwhelming! Parking: They have a lot, but on a Friday…read moreI had to park on the street and walk a ways. I would not go again on a Friday. They do have valet, but it's paid. Ambiance: upon walking in, it was chaos and sooooo many people standing up and sitting down. Walking around with drinks. I felt like I was in a club. A server made her way to me to take my Togo order. While waiting, I grabbed a drink at the bar and just made the happy hour cut off. Service was great as I was able to get my order and it was a large order. Everything was correct. The house margarita was ok, I wish I had gotten the hibiscus flavor. Order; Crab Tostadas Mixed Fajitas Snapper Mole Enchilada Ninfa 2 Tacos Margarita Mix The only thing I would order again is the crab tostadas and the beef fajitas. The chicken had no flavor at all. The charros beans and rice were not anything special. I was not a fan of either. Overall, we are not planning to order from here again. It just wasn't what Mark Weins made it seem like on his review. Also, whoever the driver was practically could not wait for me to turn around. Sorry, I had to take a pic. Very rude.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

I recommend getting it with red and green sauce on the side and a side of tortillas ro make your own tacos with the eggs, salsa and refried beans. just wow! And that tamale needs its own menu.

The "queso" w/carne seemed to be out of a can-it was orange & didn't have the consistency of real cheese- wasn't really cheese & was disgusting. It was $9.99. I am including a photo of the overcooked beef fajita. A senior citizen can get the all beef lunch fajita special for virtually the same price as the fajita combo here ALL DAY at Pappasitos. It definitely is enough for 2. The meat melts in your mouth. EVERYTHING is better quality than here. Teo charged $1.50 for perhaps 4 or 5 slices of lime to make the happy hour margaritas made with a gross mix drinkable. That's outrageous. It reminds me that I had stopped going long ago when they charged extra for onions on enchiladas. Come on. You don't charge extra for chopped onions! I have never been to another restaurant that does so. Some even provide carmelized grilled onions gratis. I'm convinced that a $15. YUMMY mango margarita at Pappasitos would have given us the same buzz & tasted better than 8 happy hour margaritas here. I used to love the in house made flour tortillas at Teo. Tonight they were tough & uneventful. We arrived on a week night when they were not busy. Neither of the salsas were as good as they used to be.The water pitcher didn't even have ice when they refilled the water. I have absolutely no desire to return. Why would I?

It's definitely a smaller, cute neighborhood spot with a really fun vibe. The service was good. Our server was funny, attentive, and made the experience fun. We started with the "corn ribs" appetizer and WOW. Probably one of my favorite corn dishes I've had in a long time. So flavorful and addictive. We also got the "Tiradito de Hamachi" crudo, which was fresh and delicious! For the entree, my friend and I shared the tacos (which comes with your choice of 3). We added an extra taco to make it 4. I was genuinely shocked that the mushroom taco ended up being my favorite because I almost always prefer meat, but it was THAT good. The fried shrimp taco was also amazing. For dessert, we got the tres leches cake. I'm usually not a huge fan of strawberry or fruit toppings on desserts, but the cake itself was really, really good. I ended up just removing the strawberries and eating the cake, which was moist and flavorful. The only downside for me was the drinks. They looked larger than they actually were because of the glassware, and they tasted a little watered down. I had two, and they just weren't very strong or super flavorful. Other than that though, the food and service absolutely made up for it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.
