Original story:
Downtown Phoenix will gain another Mexican restaurant by the end of the year.
Chico Malo, which translates literally to "bad boy" in Spanish, will be located in CityScape in the space beneath Copper Blues.
The menu will consist of items inspired by Mexican street food and South American flavors, including ceviche, street corn, chilaquiles, tacos and tiraditos, according to a news release.
It is the latest concept from the newly-formed Culture Shock Hospitality group, which is led by Teddy Myers. Chris Mckinley was hired to oversee the development of the menu and the restaurant's launch.
Myers said in a prepared statement that guests should "expect some of what's familiar, but expect some new stuff you haven't tried, too."
The restaurant is slated to open in December.
