" I was fortunate enough to try out Chico Malo while visiting Phoenix for a conference. Food was quick, and our server was knowledgeable about the ingredients and preparation of each dish, which added to the experience. I had the chilaquiles, and they were top-notch. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Phoenix! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chico Malo was recommended to me for brunch, and I was not disappointed. The selection was enticing, and the portion sizes were ample. I tried the chilaquiles, and they were delightful! Our service was really friendly, though slightly slow, but the food quality made up for it. The mimosas were fantastic as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chico Malo is an absolute gem! The modern twist on classic Mexican dishes is a treat! The elote was creamy and just the right amount of spice. We went for happy hour and had the best time. Great food and good drinks at a reasonable price! Will be back with more people next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fun spot! Had dinner at Chico Malo with friends. It was lively, and the food was impressive. The chips and salsa were fresh, and I really enjoyed the enchiladas. The waitstaff was friendly and made the dining experience enjoyable. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Chico Malo after hearing so many good things and was not disappointed! The guacamole was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The ambiance is lively and fun.

" Was excited to try Chico Malo based on recommendations but was left a bit let down. While the venue is modern and the staff friendly, I found the food disappointing—I've had better Mexican food elsewhere. The margaritas were nice though, so I might return just for drinks in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" The overall experience was pleasant, from the atmosphere to the service. The cocktails were innovative and delicious, especially the house special! My only criticism is that I found some of the entrees a bit on the expensive side given the portion size. Nonetheless, the quality of the food speaks for itself, and I might return if in the area!
