I give this place one star off because it's a little on the pricey side for what amounts to Mexican food. However, love their Coke carnitas and dill pickle/ground beef hardshell tacos. (Greasy, but oh-so good... I make my own tacos at home now with dill pickles because they got me hooked!) Nice patio on hot summer nights to chill on with a margarita or cerveza. Family-friendly, and they have surprisingly awesome brunch.

I'm hesitant to post this review lest other people catch on to this apparent secret - brunch at Malo. You can walk in at any time and score a table on the half full patio. It is fully shaded so comfortable on all but the hottest days. Be careful that oyu don't fill up on the fresh chips and homemade salsa because you want to save room for the carnitas and corn pancakes. Seriously, a corn pancake short stack with carnitas layered between topped with a gooey poached egg. That just happened.

...is: When you want the real deal, a hearty meal, with all the goodies and for a reasonable price, simply go to your favorite truck or hole in the wall.

However, when you are looking for a feast with drinks and friends and want to celebrate, dance and have more than just some food, go to Malo!



One star down for being overpriced nevertheless.

While the patio is dark and it's hard to see what you are eating, the food tastes good. The chewy chips and salsa are great, as is the ceviche and the beef and pickle tacos.



Great place to hang and enjoy Mexican food, and while I have heard about their large Tequila collection, I have not indulged

Monday Taco nights are fantastic. All of the neighborhood turns out for this great deal. I tend to go with a bunch of girl friends and our kids. The food is yummy and cheap (Monday is Dollar Taco Night). Because there are crowds be sure to show up early to get a table.

Between you and me the ground beef and pickle tacos and the margaritas are one of Silver Lake's best kept secrets.
