    Food and service were excellent. Noise level was intolerable. Could not have any kind of a conversation with friends. I understand there is a quieter side. We were sat in the loud section. We will go again and when I reserve I’ll request the quiet area.

    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!

    The table was set up flawlessly and it was a great night out for a Valentine's Date. Beautiful ambiance and service. The drinks and food were amazing. My wife and I love this spot and it is one of if not our favorite spot in Andover. The staff is incredible and the owner couldn't be more personable. Highly recommend

    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.
