- LLynnGoldPhoenix / Arizona •15 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe presentation and garnishes on our starter and three meals were beautiful, and the food was delicious. The selection of entrees is inventive, and we especially liked the mesquite-smoked duck breast with pineapple and tortillas. Our server accepted our pace and allowed plenty of time for conversation. Good selection of local draft beers. The restaurant wasn't crowded on a Tuesday evening, so the noise level was very low.More infoChico Malo - Phoenix$$$$• Mexican• Central Phoenix•4.6
