Miguel S.

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 and reminded me of my kid yrs. Simply fabulous I even ended up asking my waitress where the head chef was from. She said he was from Gdl. 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 the hibiscus lemonade but I'll see past that here are some pictures of what I ordered thank you for the excellent meal. Additional note the corn tortillas have a nice presentation but it was missing a, je ne sais quoi. The music, great decoration very nice lighting and seating comfortable the food doest take a while for it to be brought well worth the wait.

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 pair excellently, and offer something new for the senses. Even at it’s busiest, service was good, friendly and outside seating was also comfortable.

Had the pozole and it was very good! The chips and salsa roja was great as well. Servers were very attentive and refilled my water as soon as it was low. Lots of seating and definitely a great place to grab a few drinks. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes Takeout: Yes Delivery: Yes Curbside pickup: Yes … More
