Valdivia Bros El Gallo — Restaurant in Malvern

We stopped in en route to San Antonio from Chicago. Mexican food in Chicago is pretty damn good. We were going to fill up on gas and we saw this spot from the road and saw that they had a good crowd eating outside, so we made a U-turn, not knowing what type of food would be served. There are tables and chairs on an outdoor patio. We learned that it was Mexican food and we ordered 2 tamales, 1 red pork and 1 green chicken. 2 carne asada tacos and 2 birria. We were really pleased with the tacos. They were authentically prepared with cilantro and raw onion, they included grilled onions, grilled jalapeño and two types of green salsa. We enjoyed the tacos alot more than the tamales. They weren't bad, they just weren't as good as the tacos. Tacos in Chicago are between $4-$5, not here! The prices are GREAT and the food is worth it. We'd definitely stop here again if we were ever in the area. Driving through? Stop here and get tasty, authentic...

The food is good when they make it correctly, although they rarely do. Their customer service is TERRIBLE. I’ve gone at least 4 times and paid a different price for the same exact tacos each time. Okay whatever, but over $10 for 3 tacos on taco Tuesday when they’re only supposed to be $2 a taco? INSANE. Adding cheese to them should not add an additional $4 especially when I add cheese every time and have never paid over $8, especially on taco Tuesday. I explain this to the young lady working and she tells me “it’s never been $8” as if she’s the one that I dealt with. I’ve never spoken to or seen her in my life. So I told her “yes ma’am that’s the most I’ve ever paid” and the young girl got an attitude and said “well, I’m the owner so I would know.” Not only that, last time we went they were “too busy” to put queso on a burrito. Absolutely rude and very unpleasant. Wont be...

Great food at a great price. Just to delicious 2nd time 7-9-25: had a dozen tamales of pork. At first I was surprised at the price thinking it was too much, but then when I received my order, I realized that the price was more than fair for the size of the tamales. For those who are very familiar with tamales, we know that the regular size in diameter of a tamale is about 3/4”, but I was surprised that this are 2” in diameter… that’s more than twice the amount of food. So for 30$ I got about 10 pounds of food; I usually eat about 3, but now I was full with one—that’s enough to feed about 8 people😳, now I got me food for the next 8 days🙂. I have to add that they were delicious by the way…make sure to ask for extra salsas because you will eat one per tamale or two....
