Great Experience at Maldoâs Steak and Sea
I had the chance to attend the soft opening at Maldoâs Steak and Sea tonight, and I have to say, I was impressed. With their grand opening coming up this Thursday, theyâre off to a strong start.
The place is beautifulâhigh ceilings and modern decor make for a nice atmosphere. Itâs the kind of restaurant that feels inviting, whether youâre out for a special occasion or just treating yourself.
We started with the Shrimp Empanadas, which were fantastic. Golden and flaky, these empanadas were stuffed with shrimp and melted queso asadero, and the morita mayo with pickled red onions added a nice touch. đ¤đź
For my main course, I had the Smoked Chicken. Itâs mesquite-smoked half chicken served with smoky salsa tatemada, frijoles charros, cilantro-lime rice, and a fresh arugula and radish salad with poppy seed dressing. The skin was crispy, and even as someone whoâs not a fan of cilantro, I loved the riceâit was great! đ¤¤
My partner chose the Braised Short Rib in Mole. This overnight-braised short rib topped with Maldoâs signature mole sauce and crunchy pepita seeds was delicious, served alongside golden plantain molotes.
We finished off with the Mexican Hot Chocolate Molten Cake. It was rich and decadent, served with warm cinnamon crème anglaise, a crispy âbuĂąuelo de viento,â and vanilla gelato. Honestly, I couldnât help but eat it all!
I also want to give a shoutout to the General Manager, Julio. He was very involved in the soft opening, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that guests had a great experience. Our server, Julia, also took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch.
Overall, Iâm really looking forward to Maldoâs grand opening. If youâre in the area, make sure to...
   Read moređ NEW SPOT ALERT ⨠Maldoâs Steak and Ocean â Greater Greenspoint Area đ Open just 2 weeks ago
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting Maldoâs Steak and Ocean, located right off 45 and West Road in the heart of Greater Greenspoint. Let me just say â this place is a whole vibe.
đ Ambiance: Beautiful, spacious, and clean with plenty of parking and security on staff. You feel safe and welcomed from the moment you pull up.
đš Drinks: I decided to support the bartender-in-training by ordering a classic Old Fashioned. He accidentally made it with tequila (đ ), but hey, we walked him through it â and for his first try, he did okay!
𼊠Food: Now THIS is where they shine! 10/10! My steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The chef even came out personally, sliced it tableside, and brought out four different sauces â which were great, but honestly, that steak didnât need anything extra.
đĽ Sides & Bread: The sides werenât exactly what weâre used to, but after making a request, they came out just right. Oh â and the bread came with refried beans⌠I asked for butter instead. đ
đđ˝ââď¸ Service: Excellent. The staff was kind, patient, and attentive. The drinks need a little fine-tuning, but theyâre still learning, and I respect the effort. We all start somewhere!
đ° Pricing: Think Steak 48⌠but right in Greenspoint. Hmmmmmm
đ My advice? Have a cocktail 2, 3 0r 4 before you go, because once you're there, one good drink might be all you need! đ Iâll definitely be back â Thanks for lunch I had a great time....
đ¸ Iâll drop pics in the comments soon â yâall gotta see this place for yourself!
