01 / OUR STORY

It started at
school pickup.
It became family.

Different countries. Different paths.
The same place to be every afternoon.

Seven dads found each other through their kids’ school in San Diego. What began as familiar faces became four years of friendship: showing up, making room, and learning that you can have very different roots and still belong at the same table.

Mexico, Colombia, the United States. Different beginnings, connected in San Diego. Each brought his own way of seeing the world. Fatherhood gave them common ground.

MORE THAN A NAME

Big character.
Even bigger heart.

The “Malos” is a wink. These are the dads who show up. The ones who listen, stay curious, and make space for the people they love.

Being a dad is part of the story. So are the places you’ve lived, the things you make, and the friends who see every side of you.

Para papás
con carácter.
