I'm going to say it was just mediocre. Here are a few take aways.Four of us dining together and there is just a small bowl of chips & one salsa. At that size each of us should have had our own bowl.A positive note - lunch was served quickly unfortunately not everything was hot. The beans & rice were slightly warm. My first bite of my chicken taco had me for a long pause. It was fat & gristle. I quickly remove and left on my plate. The Chicken Tacos seemed to lack flavor, I did add salsa to kick it up a notch.The others were pretty much the same just okay. The noise level was pretty loud. Like I said it was okay but I'm not sure if I would recommend.

Had a late breakfast at La malinche last Sunday. It was already 1 but I was craving breakfast and thankfully they were still serving. I ordered me a plate of Chilequiles Rojo's. It came out in less than 10 minutes. The red sauce was spicy and the tortilla chips were crunchy. The steak was an added bonus cause I didn't realize it came with the plate. Late breakfast was delicious can't wait to do it again!

I didn't think the place was bad at all! And for a place with so many negative reviews, the restaurant was hopping. I do love trying new Mexican restaurants. And I do enjoy southwestern-style Mexican food the best. I felt like La Malinche fit the bill perfectly!The restaurant is large and nicely decorated. Upon entering, the sign said "Seat Yourself", so we did. The dining area is split and on each side of the reception desk. I was a little concerned that since we seated our self, that we wouldn't be noticed. In less than 5 minutes, our server was there to ask for our drink order. She was very nice, but spoken only broken English. Still we were able to communicate well enough to get everything correct.As usual, I got the Mexican plate. It had a Taco, Enchilada and Chile Relleno. The Taco was kind of stuffed in a deep fried shell. I though it was really good. The Enchilada was traditional. I really like their enchilada sauce. And the Chile Relleno was just the way I like with Anaheim Chilies, dipped in egg whites and topped with tomato sauce. I thought the batter was a little heavy handed, but easy enough to remove the excess.You know, everything was great! I can't get this style southwestern style of Mexican food in Phoenix. Maybe that's why enjoy it so much when in El Paso!

We ate here twice. The only plate that is really good here is the menudo. Everything else is subpar. My dad wanted tacos al pastor but they had none. What kind of Mexican restaurant does not have tacos al pastor? My mom's hashbrowns were undercooked and too oily. Although the menu offers many plates they all seem to be a different combination of the same ingredients going under a different name. The coffee they serve is warm, not hot. Go for the menudo but don't stay for anything else.

Stay away from this place! Bad service all the way around, from parking to time waited for service to follow up to rotten food.

I hate to give low stars especially to local business. I hope they read this to help them improve.During the busy times have one person deviated to bringing things out of the kitchen. It's called an expo.Manager where were you checking on tables your servers are doing too much and they can't do there job.No refillsNo eye contact to check on youNo smileNo how was everythingNo how are you todayI have been going to La Malinche since downtown location never againFood quality is poor. Only reason not one star review is my history of what it uses to be and can be. Make changes get your star review up and I will be back

Not impressed by this restaurant. Waitress was rude and did not offer to explain lunch specials. So be sure to ask for specials before you order. I ordered the Mexican plate #1 comes with 3 enchiladas and 2 tacos. Red enchilada sauce has no flavor as it appears to be more like tomato sauce and meat in tacos has no flavor. Bit into 2nd taco and found half of a toothpick in mouth as I tried chewing my food. Good thing I spit it out in time. The rice looked as if it was reheated from the previous day. No manager on site to file a complaint. Other waitress was nice enough to come see the toothpick and took my plate off ticket. Overall, not impressed by this place at all. Your better off going to the Lunch Box on Northloop to get better quality food for better price.

Im so disappointed. This place close at 7 on the website but just was told it was close and it's 4:45. You would think after so many years they would place a sign so ppl don't go in. Or change the info website. Would ok any other day but I was taking my family to a family dinner.

We ate the Zaragoza location many years ago before Covid, and it was good then. Today we went there for lunch and a bad experience started with delayed food and excuses. When the food came out, our server warned me of a hot plate and red chile was bubbling hot, but when I began to taste the beans & rice, they were't warm. In all, the Mexican combination plate I had was terrible, with the exception of the chile relleno. I left most my food on the plate because I couldn't eat it. Rice was stuck together, enchiladas were on a rolled corn tortilla that wasn't prepared for an enchilada. This food doesn't compare to other quality Mexican Food restaurants in El Paso or Las Cruces. My wife's taco plate was just as bad, bland mushy rice, the shredded taco beef was supposed to be fresh ( reason for food being late) but lacked flavor and didn't seem freshly cooked. No rating star can describe how bad it was. Last time we'll go there for a meal and I would give it a NO STAR but this review requires one to be posted. So it gets 1 star
