La Malquerida - Berwyn

Food was delicious. 2nd time here and tried other things and everything was just as tasty as the first time. The beef and steak were amazing. We asked for well-done and it was perfect. Juicy, soft and well-done all around. 4 stars on the service because there was only 1 waiter serving numerous tables which caused us to wait a bit longer for refills, and our check. Management should assign more waiters especially on weekends or busy hours. Also, there are no hot or warm drinks here. It would be nice if they offered hot tea or possibly coffee especially during cold days. Overall, we will be back again!!!

This place was great! Came here for my birthday with about 12 others and everyone loved their food and the service. Highly recommend!

Not going to lie, this place caught me by surprise. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Very spacious place with fancy dining tables. Was greeted by a very friendly staff. To start of, I had the guacamole which had their own twist to it and came with chicharron, very flavorful. I then Ordered the tampiquena which comes with a juicy steak, stuffed poblano pepper with cheese and veggies, a mole enchilada (the mole was delicious) and cilantro rice. I have no words to describe the flavors each individual item had other than delicious. One of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever had. For dessert, I had the pistachio cheesecake which was the cherry on the top for the review, 10/10 for the whole experience from the staff to the service to the food. I’m definitely coming back and it’s a must get hidden gem .

So happy to have been introduced to this amazing Latin Fusion restaurant! 10/10 recommend, the drinks are so delicious and perfectly balanced and presentation is elegant ✨ For food my favorite are the delicious sopesitos , & the plantains) 👌. For meat options the Tromp de Pastor is a must✨To drink La Dońa y La Toxica take me on a tropical vacation ☀️🏝️ A great place for a date night, birthday celebration, and girls night. And can I just say the staff are so welcoming and friendly, our bartender was the best!

La Malquerida is a hidden gem in Berwyn! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with a great mix of modern and traditional Mexican vibes. The food was packed with flavor — fresh ingredients and bold spices that really stood out. Every dish we tried felt thoughtfully prepared and authentic. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Whether you’re there for a casual night out or celebrating something special, it’s a spot that delivers on both food and experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great Mexican food in the area!

Phenomenal service, delicious food & drinks, awesome atmosphere with great lighting for pictures especially for date nights. 10-10 🙌

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. We made a reservation since we were going on a Friday night. We were glad we did because it was busy! The ladies and I, we were a group of five, had a window table that we loved. The service was a bit slow but friendly and did give us what we ordered. If you are in a hurry don't go on a Friday night. The drink menu, the drinks themselves and the drink presentation were all GREAT! If you are an Instagram photo taker this place is for you. The decor is super cute for taking photos as are the meals, and drinks. The menu prices are a bit high but we all enjoyed our meals. The drinks are $12 each but I felt like they were worth it. We ordered many drinks and shared a taste with each other. Overall, the restaurant is clean, has an exciting mood, decor is photo worthy, and the taste of the food and drinks are delicious. I would go again for sure!

The food as well as the hospitality was great here. It was my first time this past weekend and had a fantastic experience. The food’s traditional flavors combined with a mix of creative modern fusion definitely impressed us. The vibe is lively if you go on friday’s for the mariachis, a definite must try!!

Great food/drinks, amazing service and really nice ambiance! My husband and I randomly stopped in for dinner one night and were pleasantly surprised. Food and drink presentation was also exceptional. So happy a restaurant like this opened so close to our home! We’ll for sure come back.

I had the salmon, and it was very tasty cooked just right! Drinks are good! Abel our server was THE best very attentive and kind. Made our first visit a good experience, Definitely will be back!

Excellent place!!! Service was great, and the food was delicious. Our cocktails came out quick, and were amazing! Will definitely be going back soon, can't wait to try their other dishes and cocktails.

I’m not one to like salmon at restaurants as it’s always bland. Yet here I loved the salmon. It was cooked correctly and with flavor. The drinks were always on point and not watered down or lacking liquor content.

Food is phenomenal the taste is so great it takes so good service is fabulous we came to celebrate my daughters, birthday it was the best choice you will not regret it Breakfast was the best I have to come back for lunch menu is so attractive to my stomach 😋

Good food and great service and atmosphere. The mango mojito was very good. I highly recommend it. Although my steak wasn't cooked how I asked for it, my dish was still very delicious. I will definitely be returning

Definitely a must try had the Huevos Rancheros for Breakfast with a freshly made Carrot juice and it was delicious especially the roasted tomato sauce they used in the potatoes…. Will have to come back and try the dinner menu in the evening… friendly and vibrant atmosphere

Coolest bar/restaurant in Berwyn. Luis the bar /restaurant manager is great, drinks are very good, and food superb. Bar during evenings and weekends has a great vibe

Service was great. Went in for a Sunday brunch. Thinking to spend some time with friends for a little bit and ended up staying till maybe 2-3! Had a great time! Mimosas for $25 was worth it!

This is a great spot for a date night. Great drinks and the food tasted fresh/high quality. The flavors were amazing and the service was excellent. You can tell they care about their business and patrons. Great establishment, will be going again! :)

Loved! We went on Saturday night for my birthday. The food and drinks were delicious! Our server was an older gentleman who was so kind and patient. We were a party of 6 and the food & drinks came out without delay!

Food is delicious! Great flavor! Everything on the menu is good. The mix drinks are unique ! Never had drinks with so much flavor. I highly recommend all the mezcal drinks on menu. The churro cheesecake is a must ! The service is excellent!! Bar tender makes you feel at home.

We stopped by here headed to another restaurant. This is a nice place good service. I had the stuffed chicken, and it stuffed me. The drinks were very good. We will be turning

I was there for a private event, the food was tasty ans authentic and their selection of drinks was very unique and also delicious! I would definitely go back to visit for dinner!

The place is clean, I think the ambiance is friendly maybe les loud music to carry a better conversation. But we loved the food, we ordered the lamb chops $35 the churro cheesecake wasn't my favorite it was salty(could have been a one time mistake of the baker), but the ice cream that came with it was good. We enjoyed the drinks $12 each cocktail. Will definitely go back, the staff was friendly we had last call and they didnt rush to kick us out, highly recommend you to try it. We paid about $100 plus tip for 2 people

Food 8/10 Drink 9/10 Great place to have a great time. Food and service is awesome.

Place was mid. Drink prices were fair for quality, pretty good drink menu 👌🏼 Had diff food options and most food I ordered was very mid, prices a lil too high for quality; had better quality for better prices elsewhere.

The wait was long because it was Valentine’s Day but the food was good. I’ll come here again when it’s not a major holiday. The drinks were amazing. 🤩

I went to dinner with my best friend we ordered the mini sopes they were so good really small but so yummy! The duck drink was really good then I ordered another one didn't like the other one. I will definitely be going back to try other drinks

Going when it just opened the service is very quick. The lamb chops tasted so good and worth the price. Also, be prepared to pay the food is pricey yet tasty. I would go back for parties, the area is beautifully decorated and the servers are very nice.

Came here to celebrate my daughters bday. The drinks were great and not shy in alcohol. The appetizers are definitely smaller than the advertised pictures. The entrees were good portion and fool of flavor. The service by Abel was great. Very attentive and helpful when asking for suggestions.

Loved the drinks here and the food was delicious!They have great Mezcal drinks to choose from. We also had the Barbacoa which seemed like it was cooked for hours, it was so tender! A bit salty for my liking but the whole table enjoyed it. They offer it with or without melted cheese. The Trompo was amazing- presentation, flavor and everything. You will get a ton of tacos out of it. I am looking forward to trying the bone marrow special next time!

Super good drinks and food. We ordered the sopesitos, guacamole, and corn which were under the appetizer section. My friend ordered the tortilla soup which he enjoyed. As the name of the restaurant the menu is Latin infused so don’t expect too many traditional or Mexican plates.

Nice place. The food was good but a bit on the pricey side. Cocktails are $12 and Sangria $8. The service was slow but they were so polite that we didn't mind. The decor is beautiful.

Nice place, we enjoyed the food and the drinks. My favorite cocktail was Camila it was a pineapple-based cocktail, also you have the Cielito Lindo and matilda pretty nice and delicious and quite special. The ceviche was spicy and tasty perfect to share with friends or family.

Just an over-all great experience. You have the downtown vibe, without the downtown hassle. Food was delicious and plated beautifully. I can't wait to try their other dishes.

The food, drinks, and atmosphere were excellent, but we had to wait about 30 minutes just to have our drink order taken. We ordered drinks and they never brought us water, and the food took about an hour to arrive. The restaurant just needs to work more on these areas, and it would be excellent.

My husband and I went for Valentine's Day. We had a reservation and did not need to wait long for our table. However, and this was the biggest issue, the restaurant clearly overbooked reservations in contrast with the availability of their cooks and waiters. Our waiter was an older gentleman and he was as quick as he could be. We waited over an hour for our food. It was closer to 1.5hrs wait which is unreasonable. The food itself was good but the price point was higher than the quantity of food you receive. I enjoyed the environment and the drinks. Overall, it was an ok experience. Maybe when it's not a special occasion like Valentine's Day, it's not unreasonably busy, but I will not be returning to see.

This place was ok for me personally. The food is good but just lacking that really good authentic Mexican flavor. The dishes are served very nice and staff and service was all really good, everything was fresh I mean a lot of good things here at this place but for me the biggest part it is missing is in the flavor department. I didn’t even know this place was there and I have been living in Berwyn for many years. To be honest I might not go back to this place because there are just so many other places to go and get better bang for my buck if you know what I mean 😉

We decided to try this restaurant for the first time during Valentine’s and our experience was okay nothing extra so first it started with the parking lot street was full and barely any spots left, once we arrived we had a reservation at 7pm and it seems like they gave it to another person with the same first name without verifying which made them gave our high top table reservations to someone else besides having a reservation we were pulled into the back on the “waiting area” mind you it’s next to the restrooms for 25 minutes until a table cleared. Once we were seated we waited an additional 5 minutes to give us a menu, we placed our drink order and it came fast the waiter didn’t give me a chance to tell him that we wanted an appetizer since while I was talking he went to another table. So once we were ready to order we placed an appetizer and our main entree few minutes passed we finished out drinks no follow up it took them 40 minutes to get the appetizer and not even 2 minutes after came our meal which didn’t even fit on the table since it was so small. Food looked good but once I tried my steak it was so salty I couldn’t finish it my partner didn’t like his chicken since there was barely potatoes or rice to go with it so we ate a bit got the bill and left. Definitely won’t be returning back since the whole experience wasn’t too standards the ladies next to us said they been waiting 2hrs to get their full Valentines meal course just to find out the ran out of what they wanted. Restaurant needs more staffing to operate when busy days like these.

Went there over the weekend and ordered my drinks at the bar. It wasn’t until after when I got my receipt back I seen the bartender tipped himself. The total was $62 and he added 20% gratuity without asking me or letting me decide. I was planning on tipping him but I don’t think it’s right that he added the tip without my acknowledgement.

We went for cocktails. The first drink I ordered was the la mala, which has elderflower (very distinct taste), not only wass the drink lacking in flavor and booze, but the cup was covered in lipstick. Also our water was covered with tajin! The cups were soo dirty. After disappointment with the cocktails, I ordered a white sangria where I found myself even more disappointed. The sangria was just straight up white wine with very few and very slices or orange, that is not sangria! While the food looked decent, the drink are definitely not enough to bring us back. Much better places in the area for cocktails for at least.
