Restaurants near Malta

“Was there for lunch today. Everything was great! Perfect sandwich, beer and service! we walked away very happy!!!”

“WOW! Seriously, I am a huge taco lover, and I'm very picky. Not many places have actually good tacos. the meat is either so so or the tortilla is soggy, or both! But NOT this place. BEST tacos, seriously! The service is amazing too! The owner cares so much about her customers and the staff is incredibly sweet!
I found them at the Dekalb farmers market and I've been a regular customer. Funny, I have a taco place across the street and I still drive the 15 minutes to them, that's how good they are! You have to try it!”

“We had “The hasselhoff” and the buffalo Chicken pie. Both were delicious and the vibe at this place is second to none.”

“We had the pleasure of having Rodrigo and staff of the taco truck at our sons graduation party at our home. They did a great job! Very pleasant, the most delicious steak tacos! Very large portions. The Tinez taco truck really made our boys graduation party super special!”

“The food is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend. I’ll definitely be going back. It’s super close to campus for NIU students and also really affordable. The man was also incredibly kind and made awesome food suggestions.”

“Decided to stop by since I was in the area and always wanted to try some Indian food. Immediately was welcomed and felt at ease when one of the workers helped me out as to what we should get as our first dishes. Ended up getting the butter chicken, while my partner got the tikka masala, both with garlic naan. For drinks we got the mango lassi, while my partner got the strawberry lassi with their meal. Food and drinks came out pretty fast. Everything tasted great! While I have nothing to compare with since this was the first time I had tried Indian food, as a first time trier, everything was very delicious. The two workers and cook would check up on us and asked us how things were, everyone being extremely nice and welcoming. The only thing I had wish I gotten was some rice, but halfway through our meal, the cook came out and gave us some to try with our meals! For free! Exactly what it was missing. We finished our meals very satisfied, and talking amongst ourselves about what else we want try for the next time we come back. We live about 45 minutes away but to us, the drive is worth coming back to try it again.”

“I have been to Greece, recently. This place is great! Souvlaki, perfect, Tzaziki-best I ever had was in Greece, this is close! Bread is great, zuchini w/Feta was perfect. Spinach pie was very good, great Greek wine, folks working were great. Had a family vibe like in Greece. Eat here!”

“got take out so many times from here. their beef ramen and chicken were so good. takoyaki too!! and their boba is chewy and sweet!

I wish you have instagram account to tag ?”

“Tom is great!!! Such a cool place!,”

“Recently just started going here after 3 years of going to NIU and I regret not coming sooner. Just tried the twixter sundae with Twix, caramel, and brownies. The brownie chunks are PHENOMENAL🤤🤤”

“Just found this place, which has apparently been a Dekalb staple for 25 years. The food was very good, and serving sizes were appropriate. The greeter and wait staff were friendly and responsive. The restaurant seating looks as though it has grown over time to expand into several adjacent spaces; a clear sign of success.
I wish we had discovered this place years ago. We would have many times chosen this option over the tollway oasis food counters during lunch and dinner times.
By the way, the salsa with the chips has a pretty good kick; I love it!
Outside seating area next to the building, but it was too cold last night for that.
Give this place a try. Obviously, it's a favorite with students, locals, and travelers alike.

Parking: Lots of parking behind (south of) the building. The restaurant fronts immediately on the Lincoln Highway right of way.”

“Mmm the Horchata latte (w oat milk) was the perfect drink for this chilly fall morning! 10/10 would recommend!”

“Had the best curds and chicken strips for lunch today! Great service as always!”

“Went for the first time on my birthday with my husband and mom. Had a great time, staff is super friendly and they have a really good sense of humor. Excellent food - we will definitely go back.”

“We don’t live in DeKalb, but try to stop every time we are in town. Delicious foods! Bea remembers us every time we are dining!”

“Delicious. We got the Bianca, the Florentine, and a pepperoni pizza for my kiddo. He prefers it to Papa John’s, and hey, not much higher praise can come from a kid. We’ll be back!”

“Went to Maria’s for the first time today. We’re kicking are selves in the butt for not going sooner. Absolutely amazing food! Wonderful atmosphere. Oh, did I say how good the food was? Absolutely delicious!”

“Love going to egg haven! Their food always tastes so fresh! Employees are always welcoming and the owner is just the nicest person ever!! I definitely recommend egg haven 😊”

“Recently hosted my daughter’s 1st birthday at El Jimador’s upstairs venue and all my guests were super impressed with their food & drinks! Big thank you to Lupe who was amazing at helping us pick a menu & answering all my questions. Any parent knows how stressful it is to host a kids party and they definitely made us feel welcomed and comfortable. We had 1 bartender & 1 server and they both were amazing during our time there. We will definitely be back!”

“Absolutely love eating here! Service is amazing, the food is fantastic, and super chill/fun atmosphere! Love watching the chefs cook! Perfect for a date night, fun lunch with the girls, or nice family night out! We try something new on the menu every time we go & everything has tasted wonderfully!! 10/10!!!”

“good food, but a bit pricey”

“Best fried chicken I have ever had!”

“Great small town pizza with even better staff!”

“very expensive and completely tasteless. Definitely didn't get a whole scoop.”

“Delish. Great service Fried salmon roll”

“I was looking for a place to eat on my first day at NIU, noticed this place on google maps. I wasn't sure what to get, so the chef recommended me a shawarma wrap, and let me tell you it was worth it. They also accept husky bucks, so if you are a student that wants to try something new, this is the place.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp leading directly off of the pavement next to their shop, and they have a grouping of shorter tables that would be easy to eat at with a wheelchair. There is also ample room to maneuver around in a wheelchair or any other related mobility device. The front door is manual however, so you might have difficulty with it.”

“This is a great place to hang out with friends . They have fantastic food and attentive staff.

Wheelchair accessibility: Nice ramp into the building and the patio is level with the parking.”

“Just tried the chicken shawarma taco and it was amazing! Highly recommend!”

“Friendly staff, delicious food, and very reasonably priced! Portion sizes are huge too! Literally the best place for my comfort food cravings. Homemade soups are out of this world. I love this place so much!!”

“Great taste very affordable 👍🏾”
