Malaquita Restaurant – Authentic Mexican & Central American Flavors in Brick Township, NJ

I recently visited Malaquita, and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff was friendly, making sure we were taken care of from the moment we walked in.The food was definitely the highlight. Everything tasted authentic, like a home-cooked meal. My favorite part was the horchata! it was sweet, creamy, and refreshing, the perfect drink to pair with the meal.Overall, I’d highly recommend this place if you’re looking for real Mexican food that’s both flavorful and filling. It’s definitely the kind of spot you’ll want to come back to.

Delicious food! Saw someone mention it on social media and decided to give it a visit. Food is great, service prompt and very attentive. We got the fiesta flight as an appetizer. Good guac, salsa and Pico. We even had chimichanga leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

I have now been multiple times and each time has been delicious! The pupusas are so flavorful, I seriously crave them all the time now! Meats are full of flavor right down to the rice and beans. I tried the flan as well and it was seriously one of the best I have had in a long time!!! Try them out, you will not be disappointed!!!

Was excited to try the new restaurant in the neighborhood and it did not disappoint. Very clean and modern inside with great ambience. The staff is great and super friendly. To start we had the chips and salsa and they were very good. For my meal I got the chicken burrito and it was amazing. The rest of the food the others in my party ordered was awesome as well, sampling from the Mexican and Central American sides of the menu. Finished off the night with a pastel de tres leches and it was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back and try some more of the menu. Go give them a visit and say hi to your new favorite place to eat.

Went in today for the first time and the food was good! Got the guac and chips and the skirt steak and my son got the chicken tenders and fries. Will return for sure. Waitress was sweet.

Been so excited to try this place ever since its construction started. Finally got a chance to stop in for dinner. Thursday night about 6:30pm after a long super rainy day, we wanted a treat. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff and walked to our table. The place is beautiful, modern, clean, and spacious. Briefly chatted with our server/host and we learned this is the 2nd location this family owns and operates; the other located in Lakewood called Sabor Criollo Restaurant @ 105 Cedarbridge Ave. (we can't wait to try now). The entire family is on hand and the hospitality is what you would expect (but rarely actually experience) and they made us feel appreciated and welcome. The food was so fresh and delicious. Guacamole to start, simple and fresh the way it should be - the chips; I know, its just chips, but these are perfect warm crunchy flaky real yellow corn . The burrito was a very generous portion and savory. The tacos fresh delicious with real homemade corn tortillas. I had a cold hibiscus drink and my lady the tamarind, I could easily have drank a gallon of these each. We were stuffed by the end of the meal and struggled to taste a BEAUTIFUL tres leches desert which they brought over to us compliments of the house and it was garnished with fresh strawberries and a beautiful fresh flower! We got the check and the amount was super reasonable for the quality and quantity. Finally the manager came over to greet us and thank us. I have to to say the anticipation of dining here was met with equal if not surpassing execution. Needless to say we will be returning often and highly recommending this to all of our friends family and neighbors. If you live in Brick they deserve your support. If you're an out of towner or visitor its worth the trip. DO IT!

The food was amazing and authentic. It is hard to find good chilaquiles in brick NJ but this place has perfected them! The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The decorations are beautiful inside. I will definitely be coming back!

This place is must try! Recently opened in Brick, it offers Central American food! I had delicious pupusas, and a side of sweet plantains. My husband had tacos al pastor. I also had a peach refresher.
