A must try in Des Moines. Friendly staff, Shelby my waitress was a delight. I had shrimp ceviche and a trio taco plate. Great options. Seared beef tenderloin taco was incredible. dos pescados beyond expectation. A list of hand made fresh salsa, hand made tortillas. Im looking forward to coming back for more. Parking is easy. Easy to find. And they cater.

Nice upscale place for Mexican food. We got queso and guacamole, both very good. I got the mix and match street tacos; mahi mahi, carne asada, and beef tenderloin, all were delicious. They have a nice drink menu as well. They also have an outdoor patio, though we sat inside, plenty of seating options.
Lighting inside could be better, dark spots and spotlights in your face at the same table.
Overall the food would bring me back!

What a great find! We were craving nachos and this place didn’t disappoint! Such yummy food! And the margaritas were so yummy! I tried the hibiscus…SO good! Ask for Skylar, he’ll take great care of you!

Had a really, incredibly delicious vegan burrito here. Opted not to add $7 vegan chorizo in because that cost was just hard to justify, luckily is was great without it. Chips and salsa were fresh and my waitress was really friendly and polite. My issue however was with the hostess, who gave an attitude when I asked to sit in the shade outside instead of in the direct 5:30pm summer sunlight. She seated me at the very back corner of the patio next to the alley at a 4 top even after passing numerous seats with umbrellas that could have been opened up. When the waitress came out to take my order, she didn’t even see me at first because of where I had been seated. Rude, college age hostess who I guess thought she was being funny? Hardly. Everything else was great but that behavior really rubbed me the wrong way. Even the waitress was surprised to see where I had been seated.

My husband and I love Malo for numerous reasons, wait staff Skylar, Manager Robert and Bar Manager Jack, made us feel welcome and right at home. I commented on the delicious, authentic flavors of the food and Robert explained the prep cooks arrive early in the day and make all of the dishes from scratch, which takes hours to prepare. Skylar, knew the menu, took time to explain options and recommendations. He was upbeat and friendly!! Our drinks were delicious and spot on! The atmosphere was elegantly festive and we have been back multiple times.

I’ve been here many times with my family and the food and service are consistently great. The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is kind, professional, and attentive.

Today, Regina was our server, and she was very sweet. After finishing our meal, I accidentally left my YSL purse on the chair next to me and didn’t realize it until a few hours later. This purse held not only important items, but significant monetary and sentimental value as it was gifted to me by my husband.

Regina and the staff immediately recognized what had happened and secured my purse safely until I returned. Given that things could have gone south very quickly, I am very grateful for the staff for handling this well. Thank you again !!

We went to Malo for the first time. We had a nice experience. We were there during happy hour so our margaritas were well priced. I had the trio of tacos and opted for the lettuce leaves. All 3 were meat options and all really nicely flavoured. My favourite was the Beef Barbacoa, which was most like brisket. We did start with chips and salsa (which meant there was a LOT of food). The salsas were very tasty too. We need to learn to share, didn’t finish everything and definitely left feeling fuller than I would have liked!

Food was good just not amazing. Waitress was not attentive. Beer was cold. May or may not be back.

Easily the best fajitas I’ve had. The garlic butter goes next level, and the charr on the meat is aggressive. Our server, DD is great. Jalapeno margarita is making upper lip face hurt. 5 stars.

Beautiful inside and out! But the murals and decor inside are some of the best I’ve seen in any Mexican restaurant. Staff was very friendly and had great recommendations! Food was brought out piping hot and quick. Helped ourselves to a delicious appetizer of loaded tots with the nachos fixings on top. Then we got various tacos and other Mexican staples as entrees. If you’re looking for Mexican, look no further in Des Moines. This is the spot!
