Jessica RaeSeptember 2, 2013Alissa Walker: It serves cocktails that mix mezcal and bourbon TOGETHER. It is a bar where you can order tacos filled with beef, pickles and cheddar cheese. It's open all day.
JTOctober 31, 2016Yummy tacos and guac, but kind of expensive for Mexican food. We got red sangria and carts Blanca beer and the drinks were delicious
Love this place on Mondays for dollar tacos! If you like spicy, check out the habanero salsa. Second place is tomatillo with an avocado twist and the taco salad is decent!
go for monday taco night and get $1 potato & cheddar tacos, chicken soft tacos and more. don't forget the side of burnt habenero & creme salsa (it'll make you sweat but it's worth it)

Idea Monkey, Inc.July 27, 2011Writing of Los Angelenos in 1835 Richard Henry Dana said, “The men are thriftless, proud, extravagant and very much given to gaming; and the women have but little education and a good deal of beauty…”
BollareNovember 28, 2012Great after-work spot with two floors and an outdoor patio. Cheap eats on “Malo Mondays” with $1-3 tacos and happy hour all night long. —Jen K.
CeliMarch 18, 2011If you like spicy food, you have to try the burnt habanero and crema salsa! I had it for the first time yesterday and I am craving it again today! It's amazing!- BollareSeptember 30, 2011Great after-work spot with two floors and an outdoor patio. Cheap eats on “Malo Mondays” with $1-3 tacos and happy hour all night long. —Jen
Marc DoughertyAugust 18, 2014Vegetarian fake beef and pickle tacos, or the delicious pumpkin flower tacos
Yun DingDecember 9, 2013The beef and pickle taco was surprisingly bland. Be more bold- Use fattier beef and stronger pickles!!! The chicken carnitas, on the other hand, were surprisingly good.
Lisa BurgerMarch 13, 2012This place rocks! The Senorita Margarita is wonderful, My fave dish is the Carnita marinated in coca-cola & OJ. Yummm.
Great happy hour. Great drinks. Love their floppy tortilla chips.
IFCJune 7, 2010In a place where it's hard for a taco to stand out, Malo's beef and pickle tacos stand up to the challenge. Try one or twelve tacos at one dollar taco night! - IFC Staff
- Buzz AndersenMarch 28, 2012Excellent higher end Mexican food and delicious margaritas. I love the beef tacos with pickles.
Amazing tequila selection. Talk to the bartender about it! Sample...
Kristine BarbozaJune 10, 2013One of the few restaurants where their water is actually good! Tastes like cucumbers!
Rubi RodriguezSeptember 11, 2011Must order the Spicy Cucumber Margarita. It's not your typical girl drink. It has a nick kick to it.
PETAJanuary 4, 2011Try the delicious Soy-Rizo tacos for only one dollar on Monday nights or veganize the Eggplant & Potato tacos. Yum!
Try the muddled pineapple and cucumber margaritas. Delicious and not too sweet.
Juan MoralesMay 18, 2012Ask for Jose on bar side. Really knows his tequilas and drink recommendation.
DrinkCobaApril 28, 2011From shrimp fajitas to carnitas tacos, Malo has an array of Authentic meals sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Fawna AsfawMay 14, 2010Delicious chicken and cheese and soy-rizo hard tacos... $1 tacos on Monday, but it gets over-crowded very fast!
ColetteAugust 23, 2010This place is amazing!! Great service. Love the habanaro cream salsa. Shoulda tried the chewy chips
CeCe LaRueOctober 12, 2010Love this place! I want buckets of their Habanero Salsa in my kitchen at all times... best ever.
They have a vegetarian version of the beef and pickle tacos.
Josh JordanJanuary 11, 2011The absolute BEST tacos I've ever had..The pickle inside just makes them amazing!
Go on a Monday night and order several potato chipotle tacos. They'll help your mouth stop burning from the habanero creme salsa.
Nathan JohnsonAugust 21, 2011Fried Bananas, garlic chips, & sour cream. Sounds horrible. Tastes amazing.
