"Had the shrimp 🍤 and lobster 🦞 tacos. Both had great flavors, and the tacos were full of seafood. Fast and great service."

"I bought the salmon sushi burrito again today. I was surprised to find imitation crab in it for the 1st time with little salmon. It is still good, but I would prefer just salmon like it used to be. It was called spicy salmon sushi burrito, not salmon and crab sushi burrito. In addition, they gave me tuna, instead of Salmon. 🤷♀️"

"I have to admit, I was initially skeptical about trying Howdy’s in Malibu, expecting it to be just another spot serving Americanized Mexican food. But after finally giving it a chance, I’m happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the food has a bit of an American twist, but it’s also absolutely delicious.
Our kids devoured their meals so quickly that they asked for a second burrito, which says a lot! My wife tried the Mexican pizza and loved every bite. As for me, I went with the classic Rito, and it was nothing short of amazing—packed with flavor and perfectly satisfying.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through Malibu, I highly recommend giving Howdy’s a try. It’s a fantastic spot for a casual meal that will exceed your expectations."
