We chose this restaurant based on the reviews so we were slightly disappointed. We had the queso fundido for an appetizer. It was good, but very small for the price. The main meal was fine, but not great. And the atmosphere was more like club than a restaurant, very loud! The presentation of the food was beautiful but the taste didn’t live up to the look. We had tres leches cake for dessert and it was very disappointing, very dry! Overall, it was fine but not something we will visit again

Enjoyed a relaxing evening at Chico Malo and had a great time. We enjoyed every facet of the meal from the Burrata Mole through to the Coconut Flan dessert. Every meal felt very intentionally crafted, packed full of flavor combination ls that pairexcellently, and offer something new for the senses. Even at it’s busiest, service was good, friendly and outside seating wasalso comfortable.

So I walked into this place thinking it was going to be another taco place, but was I wrong I ordered the cauliflower steak, the achiote brick chicken and a Chile relleno. The taste of the food was super delicious ,I felt transported to Guadalajara andreminded me of my kid yrs. Simply fabulous I even ended up asking my waitress where the head chef was from. She said he was fromGdl. Sir I tip my hat to you ????. The only thing uh oh here it comes, the only thing I didn't I didn't agree with was thehibiscus lemonade but I'll see past that here are some pictures of what I ordered thank you for the excellent meal. Additionalnote the corn tortillas have a nice presentation but it was missing a, je ne sais quoi. The music, great decoration very nicelighting and seating comfortable the food doest take a while for it to be brought well worth the wait.
