Malo (CLOSED)

Serving an all-day brunch and lunch with an alfresco patio, Malo is Silver Lake's answer to a South of the Border stay-cation. Start with a margarita—we like the hot sauce-laced Spicy Cucumber ($12)—and guacamole with addictive half-fried, chewy tortilla chips (you might need to request them). Then, sink into Mexico's answer to the hamburger—the house signature taco is filled with ground beef and pickles—and other updated classics like vegan menudo and bolillo-battered Mexican French toast.
