Mariscos el Malecon Bar and Grill: A Seafood Paradise in North Richland Hills

What a gem! Authentic Mexican food with a great variety, especially seafood. Parking was easy, we were seated right away, and service was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is lively with festive music and entertainment. The salmon fillet with red pepper crème sauce (on the side) was delicious with perfectly cooked veggies and flavorful rice. My wife loved the aguachiles shrimp with Malecón sauce. We finished with churros and ice cream—good, though the ice cream melted under the hot churros. Drinks were solid, even if no Old Fashioned on the menu.

First time being there. Celebrated my Bday This place has great service. They start you with salsa and chips. Salsas were good but one stood out more. It was different... Very delicious. It didn't take a long wait. Food we ordered was the . Margaritas were great!! They have a bar and TV (sports).

When I want authentic mexican seafood El malecon is one of my favorite choices, I stop 2-3 times a week to get the cocktail black edition, it's so good and our already fave dish of all times, tacos de pulpo (octopus)

Our waitress was pretty attentive. The food was great. The presentation was great. They even had live music. I went on a Sunday evening and definitely will be coming back. If you haven't tried it, it's a must. Especially if you are a aguachiles lover like myself definitely did not disappoint.

Great service. Fast and served with a smile. Very authentic food.

We decided to try this place for my father in laws birthday and glad we did because he enjoyed it very much. The service was good and the server we got was fast and on it but as the place got busier she did take a bit longer. The food came out at a good time and it was all correct. The food I got was delicious, the fried shrimp could use a bit more flavor, it was a bit bland. Other than that everything came out good.

The atmosphere is amazing here. This is perfect for a dinner birthday celebration. I love how they come out with strobe lights to celebrate your birthday with a sombrero. I went here for the first time on a Friday and they had live mariachis playing. They also had a photographer if you wanted a picture taken, printed and framed which was amazing! Second time I went I got a beer margarita and shrimp tacos. They were delicious. I would like to try the extra large sushi next time!

I visited this establishment due to its proximity to my residence. The cuisine was satisfactory; I ordered bacon shrimp with rice and a side salad. The rice appeared somewhat dry and lacked seasoning; I attribute this to my visit occurring two hours prior to closing. I anticipate that arriving at opening time will result in a better and fresher dining experience. Additionally, I ordered agua chile, which was notably spicy yet flavorful. The shrimp was somewhat rubbery, likely due to the timing of my visit near closing hours. It remains unclear whether the dishes are prepared in advance or frozen. I'll come back and check it out earlier time to further assess the quality. The drinks were excellent; Ms. Sandi, our bartender, was exceptionally attentive and crafted the best Micheladas. She made us feel welcome even though we walked in before closing. My partner did order sushi with chicken that looked amazing but sadly it was raw.
