Chico Malo

Food was excellent- birria was flavorful, guacamole tasted so fresh.Loved the chorizo mashed potatoes ( I used the potatoes to sop up the remaining birria sauce)Khalil was a very attentive server

Super cute and fun ambiance. Server was so nice, genuinely the nicest server I've ever encountered. Super attentive and kind. My sister wasn't feeling well and she went above and beyond to check on her and do what she could to help, just a beautiful person! So sad I can't remember her name!Food portions were a little surprising, smaller than expected. When that happens I usually expect higher quality/taste and I don't think we got that with the exception of the corn. That was incredible and I could eat it for the rest of my life.

I organized a girls meet up on a Friday night with former co-workers who had not seen each other in a while. This place was central to everyone, so I made a reservation. Parking is very tricky downtown, so plan enough time if you go. They do give you about $10 towards the parking fee but you will have to pay the extra. The staff were all very nice and helpful, but it was difficult to tell who was staff and who were patrons, as there is no set uniform or name tags worn. They all wear what you would wear when going out. The restaurant was very busy, and the overhead music was loud. Conversations had to be loud to be heard. But it was very nicely decorated, except the fact that they had candles constantly lit and a large pile of wax underneath. This was in the middle of the reception area. The food was good, but I'm not sure I would go back. It wasn't spectacular. I did enjoy the chips and salsa trio. Wonderful guacamole. The other two salsas were ok. Not the best I've had. Margaritas were delicious! I had the chicken enchiladas with red and green sauce. I liked the green sauce better. The rest of the girls said their meals were ok. Our server was attentive and competent.

Beautiful restaurant- open, airy and modern with a great patio. This is not traditional Mexican food. All the dishes are very unique. My husband had the enchiladas which he loved. I had the one all vegan dish on the menu, Charred Cabbage. It was really delicious with so much flavor. I ate about 1/4 of it because one can only eat so much cabbage. Lol I think serving half the amount of cabbage and adding a side of beans would be much better. Our server Tyler was great!

This is an absolute YES. Great ambiance, beautiful aesthetic, amazing food, and even better cocktails.Highly recommend the birria, the chorizo mashed potatoes---yes you read that right--CHORIZO MASHED POTATOES. The potato tacos were amazing too as they came with a chorizo jam. Service was great as well with awesome recommendations.

Good plates, the atmosphere is bright and welcoming. We were there for lunch and overall we had a positive experience. I found the pricing to be fair and portion sizes were appropriate. I enjoyed the salsas from our appetizer!The agua chile wasn't as spicy as your traditional authentic agua chile but it was still tasty. The server that took care of us was nice and just the right amount of attentive. We were there for a business lunch in a party of 6 and she did a great job taking care of us.

I went here in my birthday in February with my girls, and the aesthetic of the restaurant is A1. I really enjoyed our drinks, and the servers were kind and friendly with us. The food was filling, but the wait hours were long. If you want to try a fancy Mexican restaurant in the city, try this one out.

Beautiful interior design, great vibe and a good service, but unfortunately the food was lack of flavor. The presentation of the food itself was beautiful and I wished that the flavor would match with the look.Overall it was okay

It's been years since I've been back to Chico Malo, and it did not disappoint! It was just as good as the first time I visited!The staff were very accommodating, especially to a large group of 11! The music and vibe were lively but not too loud. The elote was delicious, I had the chicken enchiladas with both sauces, and it was so good. I got 3 enchiladas in the order - definitely more than enough to share.The grand margarita was a fav of the table as well.Definitely recommend!

The food and service was amazing and Claudio was very attentive and gave us great service! Totally recommend!
