Malo

Was expecting good things based off other reviews, but we were let down by poor service. We requested fast takeout in 20mins which they agreed with, but it took over 30mins for our meals to arrive. The chips and guac while we waited however was very good. The chicken torta was ok, but the breast was not as thick as I would have hoped. The chips were average. Perhaps we went at a bad time. Our experience may have been better had we eaten in. I may try again another day.

Food was very well done and different. It was way too pricey for the location and style, but the bartender and wait staff were wonderful. I would only go duing Happy Hour.

Mexican with a fine twist. Excellent service, mouth watering food, perfectly made drinks and a cozy elegant atmosphere. Any time I eat here I'm always impressed. Make sure to stop in for $2 tacos on Monday after 4!!!

Malo is an odd place. I come here quite regularly because it's definitely got a few things going for it, BUT there are also definitely some issues! Pros: great location, reasonable prices for the location, relatively quick, there's always space even for Friday dinner or Sunday brunch without a prior booking (rare on Sunset), drinks are good and strong Cons: food is average (that's a pretty big 'con' I realise!)

Really, really good, strong margaritas and good service. Happy hour is worth the visit! Everyone was welcoming and accommodating. We ordered the cactus and some chips and they were all amazing. Also, super chill, non-pretentious environment. Love it!

Outdoor porch, full bar. Order "chewy chips" if you want a treat. Habanero salsa is the best.

This place used to be spectacular and the food has not gone dramatically down hill but other Mexican restaurants have surpassed it. It is still a solid choice for more than just decent Mexican food and it still has the appeal of having an outdoor dining section but there has definitely been a drop in the fun-energy level here and the dimly lit indoor tables can feel grim when the restaurant is less busy.

Monday 2 dollar tacos are great! The Jalapeño Margarita is the best I've ever had. But the bartender,and servers are pretty much lame. They all sit at the end of the bar and talk to each other. Other than taking my order, no service at all. Gotta flag someone down to get a drink. The day shift was super friendly. Stick to lunch here.
