About Malo Restaurant

Our menu is impeccably prepared using solely fresh ingredients and a whole lot of love. We believe in great recipes, balance, and most importantly, consistency. Our kitchen’s ground beef and pickle tacos, burnt habanero crema salsa, and the bar staff’s no-compromise margaritas have been blogged about, mimicked, and consumed in enormous quantities from the day we first rolled them out. Since opening the original location in 2003, we’ve built Malo into a favorite Silver Lake dining destination with signature dishes including our made-to-order “chuey” chips, Mexican prepared corn, Shrimp Fundito, Ensenada Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, and braised chicken hard shell tacos.

There's nothing quite like a good game with a good group, and Malo is the goodest of them all.

Shut up, I can do words.

It was a great night with tight competition. Muchos Amigos started strong, but in time the once-defeated Mamoulians came back with a vengeance to reclaim their throne. Pobody's Nerfect fought valiantly, but never doubling even when they really wanted to, earning them a well placed silver.

Also of note- hands down one of the most delightful drinking rounds I've ever played. The three teams had to remember as many Harry Potter characters as possible in 2.5 minutes. It was pretty close, but the Muchos Amigos edged out a one character lead over Pobody's Nerfect for a new round of Coke (reminder: it is cheap but entirely time-efficient to write "Mr + Mrs. Weasley).

But the love was definitely felt with all three teams coming together over paying tabs and exchanging strategies. Hope to see them all next week.

MAN is it good to be back! Malo just wasn't the same without me, people couldn't even come out play last week. It's alright, not only were there MULTIPLE teams (take that Austin), they were all in dead heat with each other.

I'd Rather Be at Karaoke should have studied a little harder for trivia instead of prepping their pipes- they had a strong start but slipped in the Guess Who? Round, allowing  and Rated X-Girlfriends to take the advantage. However, both of those teams slipped when they doubled in Round 7 and flopped on the same question. Pobody's Nerfect was now only a point behind first, and only four points ahead of third. HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY END?

Oh? Candyland?

Um, okay.

To be fair, most of them did better than expected. Two of the three teams got more than half right, meaning that someone is still holding onto their inner child.

The sweet innocence lead to victory for the Rated X-Girlfriends, leaving regulars Pobody's Nerfect with Silver, while the third place team decided to go for some karaoke.

I hope they all come back soon.
