    Good sea food for the location it’s in. I love seafood and it’s hard to find a good place around but this place it’s ok, “hits the spot”. Had the Coctel de camarón, Langostinos(prawns), tostadas de ceviche de pescado(fish) and shrimp empanadas. 4 star just for the main reason that it does not meet flavor profile as other competitors and 100% authentic seafood.

    First time at Malta. It was clean. There was only one other table occupied. My husband ordered agua chiles, and I ordered the tacos with empanadas (2 gobernador, 2 marlin, and 2 shrimp empanadas). My husband loved his plate. My tacos were big. I only ended up eating one marlin taco, an empanada, and the salad. The sauce that came with my plate was delicious. I have leftovers for tomorrow. The server was sweet, not pushy, but did check on us. By the time we left, 3 hours later, the restaurant was full with a wait. Highly recommended.

    Finally decided to stop by and try this place. I give it 5+ stars! Hub and I stàrted with oysters topped with shrimp ceviche. I've had and loved these dishes separately, but together? So freakin amazing with hit sauce and lime. I was gonna have the shrimp ceviche tostadas, but since the appetizer, we decided on a couple of taco plates to share. 3 asada tacos and a taco combo plate. The combo plate was missing one type (which I'd not heard of, so ain't no thang). But there were seafood empanadas (shrimp, something and cheese), then some other tacos with creamy seafood, grilled on handmade corn tortillas. Plus, the sauces and salsas that go with each dish! Oh my land, what a party in your mouth! The service is better than perfect. Our waitress was on us every time she came outside. We're gonna make this a monthly thing. I can't wait to try their siete mares!
