    We had such a positive experience from the moment we arrived. A nice gentleman opened the door for us and we checked in with the hostess. We arrived a half an hour before our reservation because traffic wasn’t bad and they were able to seat us early. Our server was phenomenal and made the experience even better. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary dinner. I highly recommend Chico Malo. Beautiful ambience, amazing dishes and fantastic employees. We will be back!

    There were 4 of us and we decided to order a bunch of small plates to share. Everything we ordered was so good even my daughter’s quesadilla! We had chips and guac, elote, potato tacos, chicken taquitos, and the mashed potatoes. So delicious!! Even my drink was great, I got the chile y mango drink and I loved it. Can’t wait to come back!
