    Breakfast Tacos
    MJ L.

    If you are in downtown Phoenix or heading to downtown Phoenix from Glendale, a new coffee and breakfast spot opened recently where Snapback Pizza was. There is ample seating in the back and they do offer plated or to go. The coffee selection is skewed towards flavored lattes, with a breakfast menu of latin inspired staples. The drip coffee is a large pour, but not one that I would go out of the way for. The hazelnut latte was good, though similar or better can be found at the many coffee shops and stands within a few steps along Grand. Both the chilaquiles and breakfast tacos were excellent, with grwat flavor and quality ingredients. The taco shells had a thickness/taste of a tamale breading, and the chips for the chilaquiles soaked up a perfectly balamced sauce. The avocado and chorizo were necessary additions, with additions being the key word, and my challenge when rating Malegria. The base cost of these items was about what I would expect at a more formal sit down, and to have these be additions for extra cost made me wonder what I would have received as a meal without...just egg in a tortilla and chips and sauce in a bowl? That said, definitely worth a stop as the breakfast options with additions were some of the better I have had in the area.

    I'm a lover of Salvadorian food. We came to Malegria cafe looking forward to trying Salvidorian horchata. Unfortunately they were out. We had the Jamaica instead. The concept is cool, no indoor seating, shaded outdoor seating available. The DJ outdoors was a nice touch.

    The shrimp pastelitos are everything you didn't know you needed. Golden and crispy masa pockets filled with warmth and perfectly balanced by a bright and creamy crema verde. Each bite feels handcrafted, like a love letter from the kitchen. The roasted breakfast potatoes are simple, soulful, and seasoned just right. They bring that home-style comfort that anchors your morning. Malegria isn't just brunch, it's a moment the kind you slow down for.

    This is a low key boutique coffee shop. It's on a corner with no parking in front. You have to park on the side streets. You order at a walk up window. Come to find out the vibes are all in the back patio. There are a couple of food vendors as well. The Latin influence and authenticity shines above all. They have lots of pastries and yummy goodies I hope to try eventually. They do sell out as they are made fresh daily. The coffee I ordered was the cafe de olla iced, it was tasty had a hint of Mexican chocolate. I will order an extra shot of espresso next time. Service was courteous and efficient. 16oz coffee was $7.00. Thank you.

    Came in on a Sunday afternoon. Quaint location with a small patio in Downtown PHX. Order food items and coffee at front window, patio has a food truck with pupusas . Ordered a Chilaquiles and a latte, also ordered a cheese pupusa. The chilaquiles took about 15 mins and when it arrived the chips were all completely soggy and the scrambled eggs were runny. The red sauce was nice, not too spicy. The pupusa was tasty. The latte did not arrive during my meal and I took it to go. Overall was disappointing dining experience.

    Self described as Latin style sandwiches, small bites and drinks this is a family run business with Mexican, Salvadoran and Guatemalan influences. This is a great addition to Grand Ave. A fellow salvadorian told me they had Salvi Horchata Latte so I came running and I was not disappointed. They opened a week ago and they are still in their soft opening hours so I strongly encourage you to check their insta for updates as I know these past couple of days they were not able to open due to some equipment issues. You order at the counter that is in the corner but in the back they have a dog friendly patio with ample seating. There's no indoor seating which may be though in the summer but the place looks great and I will definitely be supporting it - you just have to plan to come in the early hours or take it to go. Service was friendly. I got the Salvi Horchata latte - it was a tad more sweet than I would prefer but as a fellow Salvadorian I am so excited that they have Salvi horchata as a it defers from the Mexican rice horchata that most people offer in PHX. I ate the MEXI sandwich and it was pretty flavorful, chorizo, eggs, avocado, what's not to love? I am definitely coming back soon.

    First time coming here for breakfast on a Monday morning and absolutely loved it. You order on the side window and enjoy your food sitting in the outdoor patio. Service was fast, pleasant and cordial. Loved the food, coffee was amazing and the ambiance was so nice.

    Such a cute spot and delicious food!!! They could also accommodate my celiac disease needs!!!

    Omg this place is it! It's only a matter of time before everyone finds out about it! The drinks are super unique and absolutely amazing. Now, the food -- I usually don't like eating Latin food anywhere but my own house, but let me tell you... their food was bomb as hell! I can't wait to go back and try more dishes!

    My friend and I visited today and this is such a cute shop! We swung by after seeing the drinks all over TikTok and they lived up to the hype. We both got the seasonal drinks and they were so yummy. The staff was so sweet and provided recommendations. I will definitely be back!

    My daughter & I stopped in the other day & we are in LOVE. The location is gorgeous. The drinks were amazing, Food was incredible. On top of that, we truly appreciated that price was perfectly reasonable. So far we've tried the ice Abuelitas Mocha, the ice Duvalin Mocha & the red+green Chile Quiles. We highly recommend all items so far! Cant wait to try the rest The ladies that took our order & setved us were so lovely. We will absolutely be back soon!

    Ham and cheese torta + tres leches shaken espresso ( I forgot what the brown drizzle latte was)

    Easy to find and plenty of street parking! I went for the first time on a Sunday- the service was great, very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the maple tres leches shaken espresso- it was DELICIOUS. I shared a ham and cheese torta with my sister, the size was enough to share or perfect if you are starving and can eat it all by yourself, or if you want leftovers! 10/10 would recommend coming here. :)

    Avocado toast!

    Beautiful area, service, AND FOODDD. I could eat here all day everyday! Will come back for the Pambazo, that was incredible.

    Chilaquiles divorciados, Red & green sauce & a limonada.

    Was craving pupusas and found this place on Yelp. The reviews did not lie. The pupusas are made…read morefresh, which meant a bit of a wait (about 35 minutes of sitting and waiting), but they were absolutely worth it. We ordered the 3-pupusa combo with 2 sides for $17.40, which was totally worth the price. We tried the pork and cheese, squash and cheese, edible flower with cheese, and grilled steak with cheese. Every single one was so good. It was my first time trying edible flower with cheese, and it ended up being my favorite. Super flavorful and generously packed with filling. For the two sides, I got yuca frita and rice and beans. I liked how hot n crispy the yuca frita was and the rice and beans were delish. The Salvadoran horchata was HUGE and cost $5.90, which felt very reasonable for the size. Overall, everything was delicious, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving pupusas.

    Food was delicious although some items had a bit too much grease / oil …read more Sadly, the empanadas absorbed too much oil and all you could taste was the oil which was unfortunate. It lacked a crisp crust. Filling was tasty. The horchata was sooo good I wanted free refills ! The pupusas were large and had a good amount of filling and they should be at $5.00 per pupusa. They were 45 cents in El Salvador 22 years ago for comparison. The loroco and cheese was really good ! Revuelta también! The tamale was stuffed but it was too soggy for my liking. Like some water got into the inside of the banana leaf during the cook . Overall it was a great little rincón guanaco ! Try it out. Service was all smiles and fast considering they were busy. Ambience is rustic nice and clean. Wish they played more Salvador music. Hello cumbias ! They were playing a great deal of "fuerza regida" which is good listening too.

    We just finished eating a Philly Cheesesteak next door, but I couldn't resist coming here to try…read moresome Colombian arepas! I must have had a brain fart or something because right after I walked in, the worker greeted us and immediately told us they had empanadas. He said they had chicken, beef, and cheese empanadas. I immediately ordered three chicken and three beef. I forgot about the arepas. The guy said it would be ten minutes. So we browsed their store. As soon as you walk in to the business, the small place looked like it is set up to ship packages. It has a small grocery store in the back, and has a kitchen on the side. The whole store was small, but clean. There was no seating in this place as it is not a sit down restaurant. Food orders are placed to go. Almost ten minutes exactly our empanadas came out. We took them to our car and ate there. We wanted to eat them fresh and hot and boy were they steaming hot. I loved the crispness of the shells. The filling was very flavorful and moist. I dipped them in the salsa and they had had a nice kick. They were delicious!We were able to polish off four. After we arrived home some thirty minutes later, the empanadas were still warm and surprisingly still crispy! I ate the last two. I will definitely return to try their arepas!
