Great California Mexican food. Creative Mexican cuisine with a strong fish influence. Howdy also has Howdy Sushi right next door, so the fish is always high quality. The seating is indoor/outdoor. Great place to try with guests from out of town.

Great ambiance dining in an open air area with live plants on the walls and glass to stop wind. Food is not cheap, a little more expensive than Santa Barbara Mexican food, but flavors were amazing. Had Horchata, 2 shrimp tacos with beans and rice, and the best burrito I ever had! Price was about 55 including tip. But considering where we were I already expected that! Cute courtyards and live music also available along with some Italian food options or coffee houses. Right...also Howdy's shares space with a Sushi menu. That is unique.

Had breakfast here with my son. We split a breakfast burrito and french toast (available on weekends). Burrito was very good and the French toast delicious. It was very crowded when we went (on a Saturday around 11:45 am) and the parking lot was very full and congested. That said, the food was good and I'd go back to try other dishes or their sushi.

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.

Great place to get a breakfast burritos. They are excellent, and the combo of bacon, egg, and avocado really works. The bacon had a nice crisp to it as well.

The salmon burrito is delicious but the watermelon juice was the best. Excellent spot in general with great outdoor seating. Great little spot and can’t wait to come back and try other stuff. ***Update*** I tried their seafood burrito with salmon and I added shrimp for extra. It was pretty good with the guacamole side. Highly recommend the seafood burrito!

I LOVE Howdy's! Delicious burritos and drinks. It is not cheap (around 18 for one large burrito) but it is super yummy. Their red salsa is also fantastic. The sushi burrito is such a unique and tasty option, though again, it is not cheap (around 22 for one). The staff is kind and Pepperdine students get a discount with their school ID which is a bonus for me.
