"Malolam is a bright and colorful spot in the Montecillo Apartment area. I went with my friend who had come into town for the weekend. I got the carne asada tacos with the corn and my girlfriend got the Malolam Tacos with the corn. The main thing I have to say is that the tacos were definitely good, but no way were they worth $6 each. Our server was very confused as well, not giving us a single menu the entire time stating that they didn't have any and didn't mention the prices of the tacos he recommended. I will probably be back again, but I am going to need them to either lower their prices or have way better service next time for my review to change."

The food at this restaurant is amazing! I really enjoy the combination of Mexican and Asian influences in their dishes. I particularly loved the Carne Asada tacos with a Thai twist and peanut sauce. Both cuisines share the use of cilantro, which added a delicious flavor. The Mexican Fried Rice with chorizo was a tasty side dish. The Chicken Chicarrones were the standout appetizer. I was told it was the best choice when the pig shell was not available. If they had a parking garage, I would definitely come here weekly!

During lunch today (cinco de mayo) and it was not busy at all! We loved the atmosphere. Kinda reminded us of a Mexican restaurant on the beach in Mexico that I went back a few years. That's it! If you're there, don't feel like you're in El Paso. I have the Black Forest Ham Torta with the Mexican Caesar Side Salad. That's it! The salsa they bring to the table is also amazing, made with the house tortilla chips. Overall I had a great experience! The staff was super friendly, and even the manager checked us again and again and made small conversations!
