Mas Malo in Downtown LA

Mas Malo is Malo's sequel. This one is located at 515 West 7th Street, LA CA 90014. For the OG's it where the other Clifton's Cafeteria use to be. The ceiling and paintings are still in tact. I didn't venture upstairs so I don't know what remains up there from the ole Clifton's. Malo's has a inventive Mexican/Central American menu. I ordered the Chicken Pozole (a spicy red soup with hommus) and one Beef and Pickle taco, which my friend Josh Southwick recommended. The food is made with fresh ingredients and cooked with a healthy spin. Even the fried taco was refreshing. I also had a Cactus Flower water to drink which was awesome. It reminded me of watermelon juice.
