Great deal for a burrito bowl! Came here to pickup a quick dinner option and was very pleased with the Chipotle Chicken burrito bowl I ordered. Great flavor and fantastic bang for your buck. Much better than the Chipotle fast food chain and cheaper! read more

Mallenche Mexican Grill - chipotle chicken burrito bowl: great! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So good. They stuffed my Toluca taco (guac and chorizo). The goat barbacoa, Al Pastor, and the lengua tacos are awesome. The creme brulee cheesecake has real vanilla bean! The mole is smooth too. Superb and would come back! read more

To me, the way I rate a Mexican place is based off of their hot sauce/ salsa. Their hot sauce/ salsa was very tasty and had a good kick to it. The food is pretty affordable for the amount that you get which doesn't happen often these days. The portions are pretty hefty. Everything we ordered was pretty tasty. The only complaint I have is that the limes we got were pretty dried out. I would still come here and just hope we get some better limes next time. read more

A good local spot for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, salads, etc. It's a little small inside but there is room to sit if you want to stay. The service is good but a little slow. The chorizo tacos and the chicken quesadillas are our favorite dishes. read more

Pros: food is delicious, really enjoyed my steak and mushroom quesadilla (steak was a tad over cooked but still tasty). Guacamole was also amazing, the lime flavor really came through and accentuated the other ingredients. Would definitely order again Cons: delivery was like half an hour late but at least the food was still pretty warm when it arrived. Chips were also kind of meh and the amount of guacamole you get is pretty small for the price read more

"Say no to drugs - Say yes to tacos!" A sign reads at Mallenche!! Say yes also to the most delicious burrito you'll get to custom create fresh with ingredients you fancy. Turns into the fat burrito of your dreams. Carne asada was juicy and the salsa verde made everything pleasantly spicy but not overbearing. Super friendly stuff as well, gave my doggy her own bowl for water how can you not come back after this beautiful experience read more

Mallenche Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ok my wife and I are up in Brooklyn, NY watching the grandkids for a couple days . So we're out walking looking for a place to eat and run across this little gem . Mark the spot. Nothing to look at from the outside and not in a fancy neighborhood but wow , wow , wow the food is incredible. I order at the walk up counter a carnie burrito my wife orders chicken tacos and I get a banana and quesadilla for my grand kids . The food is outstanding definitely a great place to eat in house but limited seating . They do use grub hub for delivery. Do it you won't regret it . We're going back tomorrow before flying back to Florida read more

Yummy Mexican!! Burritos and bowls are huge and flavorful!! Love their tostadas. Chipotle chicken is quite tasty. Staff is super courteous and friendly. read more

Every bite of my food from here gave me every bit of the authentic Mexican cuisine experience that I was looking for. The place is small, but roomy with a lot of cultural decor which was beautiful to look at. The workers are very friendly and the music they play fits the ambience very well; you couldn't convince me that I hadn't stepped into Mexico for a few minutes. I ordered the chicken fajitas (with two servings of rice, usually it comes with rice and beans of your choice). It came with a few tortillas and they even gave me complimentary tortilla chips! Very generous of them to do so. It came up to about $12 which was great for what I bought. I don't even know where to start when it comes to the flavor this meal brings. The assortment of various peppers brought a medley of tastes that carried the meal overall. The chicken was prepared excellently: grilled just right, seasoned beautifully, and very moist. There was a generous amount of sauce (or gravy, whatever you'd like to call it) from the chicken as well. The white rice and Spanish rice were both soft and potent in taste, but they also held the moisture and flavors from the peppers and chicken very well. The tortillas were still hot upon opening them and they were fluffy and delightful to chew. They were pretty neutral in flavor, which gave me quite the opportunity to pair them with everything else in the meal. They say everything tastes better when it's free, but I believe these tortilla chips stand their ground anyway. They tasted freshly made and with each crunch came a light and balanced taste of tortilla: not salty, hard, or starchy. I greatly recommend this place. I'd give them a six star rating if I could. read more

I saw the word Burritos and I was sold..this place gave me a chipotle order vibe but more authentic when it came to flavor. I had the chipotle chicken burrito, and my daughter had the chicken and cheese quesadilla everything was delicious.. Oh and dont forget the green sauce....I will be back. read more

Mallenche Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

NO VEGAN OPTIONS Everything was very solid and enjoyable. Good prices. Standard Mexican cuisine, NOT TexMex so don't expect copious amounts of sharp cheddar. Not heavy on cheese on anything, except the quesadilla. I liked everything, my gluten free gf LOVED the enchilada. Ordered for takeout -- veggie burrito, veggie quesadilla, chicken enchilada, horchata read more

Five stars to this life changing restaurant. I'm mid bite and blown away by the food in front of me. I wish this company much success. The tofu meal was quantitative. Reminds me of Al horno restaurant. Second to none. read more

Mallenche is one of those neighborhood spots that I wish I lived closer to but I'm happy I don't because the food is too delicious to not eat every other day. I walked in around 8:45pm with a friend (they close at 9:30pm) and I was a bit weary about being served the remaining scraps of the day but the reviews were too good to pass up on a chance to try their tacos. The gentleman at the window took our orders politely and quickly. In addition to the tacos, we also ordered a side of guacamole and two drinks (one cucumber limeade & one horchata). Our bill came our to $30 for everything (each taco was about $3, I think.) The atmosphere is clean and moderately sized. I can picture it being a bit packed during a lunch rush but for this time of day, it was barely full. For the most part, the food was hot, fresh and delicious. The goat, chipotle chicken, carnitas and al pastor are highly recommended. In combination with the spicy salsas, it was bite after bite of flavor-packed and fiery goodness. The guacamole was fresh and creamy and paired very well with the tacos. The fish taco, unfortunately was a bit underwhelming. I've had a much better fish tacos at other establishments. The guacamole lacked a little lime and heat. It also came with cold, store bought chips and while that isn't a deal breaker, it could have been a bit better. The service was great for a neighborhood establishment of its caliber. We stayed until about 9:30 and they were never rude about us staying until closing and they thanked us for our business as we thanked them for our food baby. Overall, you can't go wrong with this spot and it's definitely worth a try! read more

Been here a couple of times in the past two years. Very small neighborhood spot with delicious food and homemade beverages. They also sell tres leches cake and other cakes by the slice. I dropped in today for the spicy shrimp quesadilla and it was just as yummy as I recall from over a year ago. They are always so nice and welcoming. The homemade limeades and lemonades are delightful and refreshing. They also make smoothies and salads! There's something for everyone. Always a great option for a quick but delicious meal! read more

Had a great veggie quesadilla and amazing mango smoothie here before a show at Kings Theatre. Reasonable prices, quick service and plenty of seating. A good spot for a quick bite! read more

UPDATE: Haven't ordered from here in about a year but there's no particular reason for it. Any who got frustrated at being charged twice because of an error on Seamless' end. The manager was kind and super helpful throughout it all. Based on delivery order. Everything was really fresh. The sauces are tasty and have a great consistency. Spicy Shrimp Tostada: The shell was still pretty crispy considering the delivery time. The shrimp was spicy and very enjoyable. Grilled Steak Quesadilla: Very tasty and flavorful. Prefer to order with pico de gallo on the side only. Hard Taco Carnitas: Fairly moist carnitas. The hard shell was a bit soggy, so definitely spring for the soft shell. I would order from here again. read more

Neighborhood standby. Beats Chipotle by a million because its more authentic, cheaper, and tastier, plus the people who work there are great. Always a go-to when we don't wanna cook. Always fresh and amazingly tasty meats. Never change, Mallenche. read more

Wow. Take my review with a grain of salt, because everyone is raving about this place. I ordered delivery and the food was ok. Lacked the dynamic flavor I crave from Mexican cuisine. No doubt ingredients were fresh ect, just not the flavors I was hoping for. read more

I love this place. My style is more TexMex I've learned and they have the best ground beef for the hard shell tacos . They also have excellent fresh juices. The staff is great, they are friendly and efficient. The restaurant is no frills but it works for a quick lunch. Love this place! read more

The delivery was on time and the food was great! The flauta plate was divine. I loved all of it. They give you very little rice when you order a platter, though, so it's best to order a side of rice. read more

Really like Mallenche, I go there probably twice a week for dinner. Never really a wait, always fast to get my food. Food is hot and tastes really good. Would recommend, I think they're better than most places around. read more

From the day this place opened their doors bc I've lived on church since 1999, I've been going to this place and I loved their food I use to boast about them to my family and neighbors telling them to try it out, the food was great the service was great... I moved away about 4yrs ago to Canarsie and still made it my business to drive 20 mins to the restaurant atleast 2x/week. For the past year I'd only go for their salads after the gym and I always get the exact same salad but one day they decided to upcharge me for a squirt of sauce that I'd been getting for years I asked why, come to find out the guy was up charging me for a side sauce that I didn't get and I wasn't having it, I didn't find out until I came back another time and the regular guy said it only and upcharge for sides, and I asked does everyone know that ?!? Now all of a sudden everytime I come in there's a new upcharge for something. Ntm I speak Spanish but I don't speak Spanish to them bc sometimes they try to explain or say smart things in Spanish bc they think I don't understand and I'm not a fan at all, idk why I keep getting snarky remarks and random upcharges when I've been getting the same things for over 6yrs and going to them since they open their doors, unfortunately they've joined the higher prices less food and I'll make sure to pass that on to those Ik, there's a few spots I've been trying that seem to be a bit more worth it read more

Most excellent burritos. Inexpensive and very very tasty. A rare source for horchata.

Ordered three hard shell tacos (Regular Chicken, Chipotle Chicken and Ground Beef). Delivery was very quick and easy. Both chicken tacos were ok, but the ground beef was too greasy for me to finish (cheaper, high fat beef used?) If I order from here again, Ill try something else. read more

The people who work here are super friendly. The food is delicious and never too greasy. We're especially big fans of the Quesadillas.

Just had this again after 2 years. I forgot about this place. Still great food! Will have to go here more often!

Daaaamn Daniel! I have been craving Mexican for like two weeks, and my dreams finally came true tonight when we ordered from here. The chicken taco salad is probably the best I've ever had, and I'm a girl that *loves* a chicken taco salad. The mole is so rich and amazing, the enchiladas are delicious! The black beans are so tasty, the whole dish is great! Carnitas was also fantastic- rich, porky goodness. Al Pastor was pretty good, too. Upon visiting their Yelp page, I realize I've actually eaten here before. Definitely a cool place to sit and grab a quick couple tacos. As a native NYer, I seldom concede shortcomings, but this city is really devoid of good Mexican food. This place really fills that void! Can't wait to order again!! read more

4.5 stars. So now that I'm in a new part of Flatbush, I'm glad to have this place right up the street. It's basically like 2 blocks away, so when it's really cold and crappy outside I can order from these fine folks and they will deliver it in 20 min or so! It's great. The food here is really good. Like really good. I've had their burritos (chicken and also chorizo) and they are huge and tasty. Their quesadillas are fantastic too: I had their steak quesadilla and it hit the spot last night. Also, they put mushrooms in their food. Mushrooms are not a mexican food staple by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, when I first came here and they asked if I wanted mushrooms in my burrito I paused and thought that maybe the flavor would be too different from a "mexican" flavor? Yea it doesn't really make any sense in hindsight because mushrooms are great, so I put them in, and I'm glad I did. It's a very nice touch and despite the fact that it's quite simple, it's something that other mexican places just don't do. Yummy! read more

SO. GOOD. GOAT Barbacoa tacos exceed my expectations. Flavor is there, clean and nice atmosphere, nice service. Def recommend.

I love coming to Mallenche for burritos and smoothies. All of the staff members are well aware of what is vegan (or what can be made vegan), and Norma is so kind! read more

This place is a welcome addition to the neighborhood! I ordered a chipotle chicken burrito, which was a perfect portion, slightly spicy, and filled with cheese and sour cream, brown rice, and beans. I also orders the nachos with queso, which were a little light on the queso. All in all I will certainly come back for more, it was a pleasurable experience and much needed addition the Church Ave. read more

Mallenche Mexican Grill - Chipotle chicken burrito and nachos with queso. - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

New spot in town; is it worth a try? FUCK YES! I was skeptical at first b/c I'm used to the taco cart across the street but w/ my friend's peer pressure, I tried it. Best. Decision. EVAR. Yo, this place has everything better. The meat, the variety of mexican drinks, the servicing, and the prices! I got 3 tacos, and was satisfied w/ all 3 b/c they packed on the meat and the flavor was ... ! *rolls eyes back* I love it. It's my go-to spot for anything taco-related. read more

Solid go-to delivery spot. I always order their steak tortas and extra guacamole. The queso fresco on the tortas is divine. The grilled steak cubes are juicy and seasoned well. Every now and then you get a couple bites that are tougher to chew but for $9, this sandwich is hard to beat. read more

Okay so I've never gone here in person but I order delivery from them so often I should buy stake in the company. Lately I've been addicted to the mallenche taco salad- which is really legit in size for a salad. When I'm feeling less healthy I always go for a torta- go for the Milanesa! Sometimes the chorizo or chipotle chicken is soupy and the sandwich gets messy fast. Sometimes when you order chips and guacamole you seem to get different brands of chips every time. I think once they made them by frying tortillas themselves and I wish they would every time it was soooo good. Bring them back mallenche! read more

I just had my very first Grub hub order ever. It was from this place. MAN !! Just an OUTSTANDING burrito. Fresh ingredients, herbs, etc. It was stewed chicken with guacamole and pinto beans. ON THE MARK !! Also got crème brûlée cheesecake also amazing. And delivery was PROMPT. THIS is what Brooklyn is about. Discovering gems by immigrants that make one's life an adventure. BRAVO ! I hope they continue the good food. I will definitely be a regular if their other dishes are like this one was. read more

I'm going to be here ALL THE TIME. I am so thrilled they have so many topics to choose from. The shop is very clean and the worker was very helpful. I got a salad bowl (you pick your own greens from a little pre packaged bowl in the refrigerated section, and then they pack it for you!). You get 1 meat, and 5 toppings I believe. I had a very hearty Chicken Salad (Spinach was my green of choice) Bowl with Black Beans, Bell Peppers, Brown Rice, and some other stuff! It's $7.50 before tax. I am so grateful to be conveniently stationed near this spot for a bit - I will definitely be back. Thanks, Mallenche. read more

This use to be my favorite Mexican spot in Brooklyn. My family, friends & I used to travel from the other side of town just to eat/order & take out from here. However, over the last few months, pricing have increased week by week. The taste/seasoning isn't what it used to be, the taste is gone & the portions have shrunken as well. I guess you can say ..this isn't our favorite spot anymore. read more

I ordered chicken quesadillas from this place on Grubhub. It was the best decision of my life.

This place is great for take out or a quick, delicious eat-in meal. It's basically an authentic, better in every way Chipotle. PRO: really flavorful burrito! Personal experience showed me that the shrimp, pork, and steak burritos are all fantastic. There is a large variety of proteins, which can be made into tacos, tortas, salads, or fajitas. The service is quick and friendly, and the shop seems to be very clean. Cons: nothing, really! My only wish is that they had a "fish" option as opposed to shrimp, or they switch their shrimp to a larger size. read more
