What People Are Saying About Malo

The Scene – Black tile and flocked, red wallpaper create a minimalist but hipster-friendly vibe that the former Cobalt Cantina could never capture. No longer predominantly gay, straight Eastsiders on first dates and oversized birthday parties comprise an equal percentage of the clientele. Service is competent, but it's surprisingly difficult to get extra dishes or silverware for sharing. – – The Food – A pan-Latin menu finds success with the basics, but often overestimates the kitchen's expertise. Made-to-order tortilla chips are softer than most, and come with a…

Always had a great time here over the years. Very tasty food and great service from a great looking staff! Watch out for the chips, though, they are tasty byt not free and the staff pushes them on ya. Other than that, enjoy. 2nd floor is cool too as is the patio.
- Pros: great inventive food
- Cons: watch out for pricy chips

A bit over rated
by Veracruz25 at Citysearch
A friend of ours choose this place for our monthly "get out of the house" dinner date.
1. I read the reviews and prepared the 6 of us that the service was sub-par...reviews were correct
2. One of the very few places were chips have to be purchased.
3. Drinks were delivered fast and tasty.
4. 3 inch diameter tacos...not so good.
5. Automatically charged 18% gratuity for a group of six. Correct me if I am wrong, but gratuity is for great service right....not mediocre service.
- Pros: Tasty drinks
- Cons: Service, portion size...what I have to pay for chips!!!

Good Brunch Deal
by Madss at Citysearch
Malo has a really really good breakfast on the weekends. And they have a full bar, if you're in the mood for a Bloody Mary. They have Mexian specials and your standard bacon and eggs for around $7. Not good if you're looking for a busy spot, but really tasty and good service.
- Pros: Good and fair priced weekend breakfast
- Cons: Almost always empty
The Details on Malo
Know Before You Go:
Open for brunch and offering afternoon taco specials. Malo also offers a Happy Hour Mon-Fri 5-7pm. Every Monday is $1 taco night all night.
Parking:
Street parking is scarce, so use the $1.50 valet. Don't use the McDonald's or the Kitchen's lot--you'll get towed.
Where to Sit:
If you're looking for an appetizer, cheap drinks and festive atmosphere, choose the bar area. The ambience is quieter on the restaurant side. Smokers flock to the unadorned outdoor patio.
The Extras:
Extend the evening with drinks at neighboring Akbar, which offers a similar crowd, nightly drink specials and offbeat vibe.
