    Buenomalo was delicious! This was the perfect spot for my girlfriend and I's first valentines together. We got the chips and guac, both got 1 chicken and 1 steak taco, and I got the drink called "tryna smash." Our total with tip was just over $100. Our waitress and the hostess were very friendly. Would definitely go back!

    Moving to New England from our west, one of the things we missed most was good tacos and margs. BuenoMalo is as close as it gets to a SoCal, surfside, taco restaurant. The food is great, the owners and the team are welcoming, and there are no better margs anywhere in the area. I love how they continue to evolve the concept, keeping it energetic and fun - but staying true to what makes them great. We've been going here for years, and this is my first review... because we kinda wanted to keep it a secret. But, the secrets out, and everyone should be eating here.

    My wife and I have been dining here regularly since they first opened. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced for what you get. Great drinks. Service is outstanding. My favorite restaurant in the area; you can always count on a great experience. Other restaurants should use Bueno Malo as a model for how to run a restaurant.

    This was our first time and won’t be our last! Everything was excellent! The guacamole was so good with the fresh tortilla chips. We ordered 2 tacos each but could only eat one they were so big and delicious. The house margarita was excellent as well!
