La Taquería Méx — Restaurant in Málaga

Honestly, don’t know where to start - the whole meal was a mess and comfortably one of the worst I’ve had.

My partner made it clear she was vegetarian before we sat down and confirmed with the waiter that each dish she ordered did not contain meat. She ordered 1 taco and 1 quesadilla. I ordered meat 3 tacos and 1 quesadilla.

The 3 meat tacos were served on the same plate as the vegetarian one and was covered in the meat juice as a result. My partner was put off but didn’t want to complain so dried it with a napkin and ate it. Poor start, could it get worse? Yes.

My partner’s quesadilla arrived and they had accidentally given her the pork one. We told the waiter and it got swapped. Honest mistake? Yes, okay.

However, the vegetarian quesadilla came and my partner found a piece of pork inside after chewing on it. The waiter said that it was impossible. However, after much deliberation with myself and the kitchen staff we came to the conclusion that this was indeed possible. The waiter agreed to take the quesadilla of the bill. Wow, what a fantastic gesture!!! That was super kind, his generosity clearly knows no bounds!!

I argued that we shouldn’t pay anything because of what happened. The waiter said they could not do that. Unwilling to stick around and argue my case I settled the bill. It was only €35 but as a matter of principle I think it is wrong to make someone pay when you have provided such a poor experience.

Avoid, avoid, avoid. There are many better Mexican restaurants that are worthy of your custom. It might be on the cheap side but I wouldn’t eat here for free (clearly!)

Also, the drinks were rubbish and my food was generally very poor as well but I won’t...

NOT SUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS!!!

Went here this evening with my partner, I’ve been a vegetarian for 12 years and my partner eats meat. I ordered a vegetarian taco which came on the same plate as the meat tacos, so my vegetarian taco got drenched in chicken juice. I had to get a napkin and wipe the juice off the taco. There was literally just cactus and chicken juice on the vegetarian taco. It tasted terribly.

Then my sautéed vegetable quesadilla arrived, I got a whiff of pork so I looked inside and it was a pulled pork quesadilla. I’m glad I didn’t just trust that I got what I ordered and bit into it. I sent that back and eventually my sautéed vegetable quesadilla arrived and it tasted pretty bad as well, but to top that off, I got a large bit of pork in my mouth from the quesadilla which I had to spit out. We told the waiter and he said he would take the quesadilla off the bill, but that we would have to pay for the rest of the bill, which is ridiculous when you force-feed a vegetarian pork and chicken juice and make them feel sick to their stomach from the food they’ve just had.

My partner got some of the meat tacos and a chicken quesadilla and he said it was some of the worst tacos he’s ever had.

I’m shocked this place has good reviews because the staff are inhospitable, the food is vile and they force feed vegetarians meat and then force them to pay for...

Edit 07/08/2025: me da mucha mucha pena bajar mi puntuación, pero tras mi última visita, prefiero que quede constancia (no eliminaré la reseña original, para que podáis ver el cambio radical en opinión).

Antes de nada, aclarar que he venido aquí 4 o 5 veces antes, incluso recién inaugurado.

Lo primero, la calidad de la comida ha caído en picado. Me ha sorprendido mucho ver que han echado guacamole que parece y sabe de bote en lugar del guacamole casero de siempre. Además, su famoso taco de trombo al pastor ya no es trombo al pastor. En lugar de cortar la carne de un rulo (como es tradicional), lo hacen guisado como si se tratará de algo tipo cochinita pibil, y os garantizo que no se parece en nada a la receta original, ni en textura ni en sabor. Si no vais a servir trombo, no lo anunciáis como tal.

Los chilaquiles tampoco tienen nada que ver con lo que eran. Antes eran con topos caseros, ahora son de bolsa como los que puedes comprar en el supermercado. La carne de birria está durísima y apenas han incluido jugo de birria para echarles. Era un 90% nachos prehechos y queso derretido. Cabe destacar que en la carta pone que son caseros, así que no es más que publicidad engañosa.

Siento que han bajado la calidad de todo, y a la vez subiendo los precios. Entiendo que todo ha subido de precio, pero al menos intenta mantener un poco la calidad. No pongo 1 estrella porque al menos era comestible.

Una auténtica lastima. Antes era mi referente de comida mexicana en Málaga, pero ya dudo muchísimo que vuelva. Está muy claro que lo han convertido en una trampa turística para intentar aprovechar de los turistas de paso, y han olvidado completamente de todo lo demás.

Reseñe original: Es la segunda vez que venimos, y me parece espectacular. La mejor comida mexicana de Málaga sin duda. Recomendamos sobre todo los tacos de trompa al pastor y todo lo que sea de birria.

Nos ha atendido Derek, y ha sido super simpático con nosotros, muy servicial y muy eficiente.

Si de por si hemos vuelto ya una...
