What Aaron Mayr-Mauhart likes about Chico Malo:
Wonderful dinner in the heart of Downtown Phoenix! We had the Shrimp Agua Chile for an appetizer; followed by Smoked Birria and Brick Chicken Both very favorful and large portions. View all feedback. What Arvilla Jakubowski doesn't like about Chico Malo:
We got the Carne Asada and Smoked Birria. We ordered the carne medium rare and it came out much more on the medium side. The smoked birria was good. The sauce that it's in was excellent. We got a skinny marg and 2 beers. Total bill after tip came to a little over $110. For what we got and the quality, this felt overpriced. View all feedback.

Chico Malo provides a vibrant dining experience in Downtown Phoenix, featuring unique dishes and creative cocktails. While some found the chilaquillas underwhelming, others praised the flavor and presentation of meals like the duck El Pastor and Smoked Birria. The impressive Tequila and Library rooms added to the ambiance, although some felt the prices did not match the quality. Both positive and negative comments were made about service and seating comfort, but overall, the atmosphere was enjoyable. The guacamole was highlighted as a standout dish, and the diverse crowd and music added to the lively experience.
