El Malo Tacos

Mexican restaurant · Commonwealth

"El Malo brings a vital addition to the heart of Plaza Midwood — street tacos. Order the fresh tacos a la carte and pair them with the agua frescas or Jarritos for a proper surfside feel. It’s unquestionably casual here, with a menu of tacos, burritos, and quesadillas made for a quick bite. The burritos —  from a packed breakfast burrito to a California burrito loaded with fries —  are nothing less than enormous. Despite being in a shopping center, an outdoor space has been fashioned thanks to a few big picnic tables. At night, El Malo opens a hidden door to Bar Hermanita — a late-night, tequila-heavy bar with DJs, those same street-style tacos, and even some dancing." - Kayleigh Ruller
