    I ordered a wet chicken burrito, it was not what I'm used to back in California. I couldn't even finish it, it was giving me indigestion before it even hit my stomach. The service was average and the menu was basic. Would not recommend and will not be returning..

    Used to love this place , been going for years. Prices have more than doubled, got takeout and it was literally ready in three minutes. Carnita Taco was cold and meat was not at all tender. They differentiate now with a "street taco" ok, that used to be just their standard taco. Also got a California steak burrito, smaller size with more rice and beans than meat $14. The guac is still delicious, premises is still rundown. Will not go back for the price and quality they are currently serving. Better options.

    Amazing balls carnitas tacos!!!!! I ordered two carnitas tacos and a shrimp quesadilla ! I ate it allllllll. Thinking I would have a left over taco for the boy.... NOPE!! The carnitas has that roasted salty crust that we love. Such good flavor. I see why it's so popular. Glad we came in sat nite 5:30 not so busy. Even the shrimp had that salty very hot off the grill flavor! Yummmmmmmmy. Bf ordered the Taco salad carnitas natch. It was on top of chips ( instead of a bowl). He loved it. She said it was big. But he had to have two tacos anyway. He didn't realize how Dagwood the little tacos were!! Stuffed with carnitas man.

    I have been coming here for tacos for 15 years and have never been disappointed in the authenticity, price, and quality of the food! You get fresh food for a great price and the special of the day is every week and all day each day. Great for people who can't make food specials because they work through normal "happy hour" times. It's a small hole in the wall restaurant that has delicious food for a fraction of the price in comparison to most places in Naples. I would definitely recommend the chicken tacos and the order of guacamole with chips. I usually really love the churros but recently haven't been too impressed with them so I have just been sticking with the guacamole and tacos. Definitely would recommend to get the Verde sauce because it's just a level up with the rest of the food!!

    We stumbled on this restaurant for lunch today - great find !! Food was plentiful, fresh tasting and served hot in a timely manner. We will definitely return.

    Chicken mole plate
    Karolina K.

    Went there while in the area and looking for a quick and good place to eat dinner. Based on yelp research we decided to give it a try. I was a little sceptical when I first saw the place and went inside. It doesn't look very inviting, everything is old and cheap but we decided to stay anyhow. Good decision. I went with chicken mole plate and my husband with two taco plate. The food came out very quickly, and it was very good. Not the best we had as for Mexican food, but good. And the prices are very reasonable, especially considering that you are in Naples.... The only complaint is that the mole sauce was a little greasy. The mole I tried before in other Mexican restaurants was never so greasy, but I did not experience any stomach issues, so still giving the place 4 stars.

    Long story how I got here. So the short version. I am doing a major renovation to my house. Mrs. K. has her standards. So I am in a rental for about 5 weeks. Was cutting through a parking lot to get on Pine Ridge and saw the place. Kind of remembered the name from somewhere. (Amanda S.). We went in on Sunday at about 1:30pm. I ordered the carne asada taco's. Mrs. K ordered the steak taco's. Mine came with slaw hers came with lettuce. Mine tasted better. :). We also ordered chips and salsa. The salsa was again one of the best I have had in this country. We ordered at the counter sat down and instantly the food came out. FAST. The price is all below $5 for most items. So it is good fast and inexpensive. I told the cashier how wonderful the food was and she said hope to see you soon. Oh I am sure you will see me for the next month or so.

    Chicken mole approx $7
    Amanda S.

    It's inexpensive at a prime location. I had a chicken mole. Enough grilled chicken breast to make four flour tacos. Rice and beans. Topped with raw onions, cilantro, cheese. Under $7. Sauce is fine. The hot sauce adds a kick and some flavor. It's June and it's 88F today. No AC inside. Came at noon and packed with people. Mixed crowd of all types enjoying $2.50 tacos / $5-6 burritos. Would take this to-go next time because it wasn't that comfortable. 3.5* for food 4* for price and location

Inside feels like you are dining in a small village in Mexico. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Our drinks and food arrived fairly quickly. The shoutouts go to the Quesabirria taco plate (so flavorful) and the mixed fajitas (chicken seasoned perfectly and a generous amount of meat)! We would go back for both of those plates. The Al Pastor taco was average tasting, a bit on the dry side. The tamale was also just average. It might have been a bad batch, because it totally fell apart and the meat inside could have been more flavorful. The beans were tasty, but very runny, almost like bean soup. The margaritas were good, you couldn't taste the tequila, but it was definitely there. And, how can you go wrong with a cold Modelo with a lime slice and a shot of salt??? The chips were thin and crisp, the salsa's were more like sauces to us. The red was thick and quite hot, the green was thin and spicy but not too hot. Mixing them together formed an ideal blend. We recommend giving La Casa Del Taco a try!

We only wanted a variety of apps so she gave some good suggestions. She was attentive and efficient. The food she suggested: elote, very good! We did get the guac and chips too to use the chips with the elote. That was the problem. The guac was somewhat tasteless, but the chips were very bad. They tasted like they were made in old rancid oil and they make them onsite. They even smelled like old oil. We let her know and she brought a new batch. Still tasted bad. We suggested her to try them and she did and agreed they were not up to par. I felt the grease even coated my tongue. The cornbread was excellent. Because the chips were so bad we got the guac and rest of the elote to go so we can eat at home with some good chips. We got the bill and even though they agreed they weren't as good as normal they still charged us for everything. That is a problem. She should have had them take them off the bill. We still tipped 18% but that isn't good when they don't make it right. We may give them another chance but still charging males that less likely for sure.

The menu is extensive and filled with traditional favorites. Whether you're in the mood for tacos, burritos, carne asada, enchiladas, tortas, camarones, or pescado frito, it's hard to go wrong. The dishes are consistently well-prepared, generously portioned, and taste like they come from a kitchen that respects traditional Mexican cooking. The bar is equally impressive. The drink selection is expansive, and everything from margaritas to specialty cocktails is made with the same attention to quality as the food. If you enjoy pairing great food with great drinks, Malinche delivers on both fronts. Service is another strong point. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, helping create a relaxed dining experience from start to finish. The décor is fairly simple and understated, but it's clean, comfortable, and pleasant. While it may not be the flashiest restaurant in town, the focus here is clearly on the food, drinks, and hospitality, and that's exactly what keeps people coming back. Rating: 5/5 Authentic Mexican flavors, excellent cocktails, friendly service, and a menu loaded with standout dishes. Malinche is a Bonita Springs gem that's well worth a visit.
