Malo is a stylish Chicano restaurant, done up in understated red and blacks and with a menu of homestyle dishes well-suited for sharing. The charm is in the simplicity of the succinct menu and decor (it's certainly not in the service). The separate bar area is ideal for those merely stopping in to sip on one of the more than 150 tequila offerings.
