    The food was very good. Our party of 11 had a variety of dishes and everyone was pleased. I personally had the duck Al pastor and the gansito for dessert. They were both delicious. The service was second to none. Our server Brenda was amazing! She was very attentive and helpful. If you come to Chico Malo ask for Brenda. You will have great service if you do.

    It was a cool space but for whatever reason the lights above our section keep flickering between brightness levels. We asked our server about it and he said it was unusual but it continued to happen for the 90 or so minutes we were there, a bit distracting. Overall a fine experience, the best part was the chips and guac.
