Excellent drinks, with friendly service and delicious food. I will be going back the first chance I get. The carnitas were amazing.

I've been here 3 times before and the food was always really good. It has really changed. The prices have really gone up. Which might be understandable if the food was fresh and tasted good. I ordered three different types of tacos and the chicken one tasted so strange so I didn't eat it. The food seemed like it had been made days ahead and then microwaved. We were the only ones in the restaurant at lunchtime. The staff didn't seem too motivated or friendly. I won't be back. read more

Wonderful service and thoughtful dishes. Our group popped in on a pretty empty night. The staff was awesome, and the ingredients and prep felt very practiced. I got the portobello ensalada and it was wonderful and beautifully plated. Kudos team! read more

Had lunch here on Sunday and it was the worst experience I've had in a restaurant in a long time. The food was bad and the service even worse. We both ordered water, it never came. Our tacos were served cold after an extraordinary long wait. The waitress offered to microwave them to heat them up which we politely declined. The side of beans were cold, the corn was watery. We were never offered refills in our ice teas. Had to track down a different waiter to get refills and our check. For the first time in nearly 20 years I left no tip. There are plenty of good restaurants to go to in Edmonds, we won't be back. read more

Decent food and service but food is somewhat uninspired- strange chips- just kind of dialing it in. Still, nice atmosphere and location. If they got a chef that was exegetical they could probably make this place interesting like Cactus. read more

AMAZING! Food, atmosphere, service and interior design were all amazing. I had the chicken burrito, with sour cream and guacamole- amazing, tender, shredded chicken with black beans and rice. The burrito was huge AND I only left about a bite and half because it was SO good. It was a little slow- no idea why. Not only was the food great, the staff was friendly and attentive! Great view of the sound and mountains. Definitely a 10/10 would recommend experience. PS. My girl loved the corn and wouldn't stop raving about it (to no one's chagrin) read more

The service was awful, the food was cold, and to top it off there were ants in the tortilla baskets.

My husband and I went here not knowing what to expect and holy cow! We were so thrilled! Amazing view of the water, delicious drinks and the portion size for price was perfect! We will definitely be coming back! read more

See all

The service here leads the charge. Our server Lilly was FANTASTIC. The menu is perfectly crafted as well. I'm relatively picky and I felt like there were plenty of things that I wanted to try. The drinks are strong and delicious! read more

Kahlo’s Cantina - Cant beat the view either! - Mexican Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Got the pork tacos with special corn and black beans. Fancy food at reasonable prices. Taco was well balanced, stayed together, and had tender, juicy meat. Would eat here again. read more

Kahlo’s Cantina - Pork tacos - Mexican Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I really wanted to like this place, our server was kind but could have been more attentive and made some unnecessary comments. The menu prices are between 20-30$ the chips&salsa was 3$ and the chips were from a bag and the salsa was so watery. My chicken enchilada was 22$ so for that much money I was expecting a bomb meal and possibly left overs. What arrived on my table didn't resemble enchiladas and there wasn't much food...it was extremely bland and most certainly not worth $22. I also had a side of corn that was probably from a can because it's like they didn't bother to drain any liquid. I literally would have preferred going to Taco Bell. I feel robbed and extremely dissatisfied. read more

We've been to Kahlos several times! Absolutely delicious every time! Love the atmosphere too! Great service, great outdoor space. Never disappoints! read more

Nice service and friendly staff. However, food was mediocre at best and priced like it was gourmet (which it was not)... go for happy hour and appetizers. That's about it. If expecting great food, go somewhere else. read more

Waitress and attendant were great! Don't like to Leave negative comments but Food was Not good , way too expensive and has no flavor to it and Portions are small compared to the price. as a Mexican I would honestly not recommend it . Also charging extra for the salsa and chips??? Salsa didn't have any flavor neither. Would rather to try something different. read more

Probably one of the worst meals I have had in a while. Ordered steak fajitas which is usually hard to mess up. I got some sort of stewed beef in a bland tomato sauce that wasn't tender and completely flavorless. I had to ask for hot sauce and salt and even that couldn't save the tastlessness of this meal. My husband's dish was equally bad read more

Food was terrible, tacos were small and ingredients were not fresh, asada but tasted like hamburger and not much of it, ..calamari was just a bowl of cold breading goo - never could find any calamari in this batch of goo - and sauce was terrible as well. Margarita was very good. read more

This restaurant is in a great location by the waterfront in Edmonds, but unfortunately our experience (and many others around us) was less than ideal. We were sat on the patio- it took over 15 min for our server Melissa M to greet us with a drive by "hello" and after that it was all downhill. My carne asada was cooked perfectly, but had no flavor, which was a theme in each of the dishes. The service was the real issue here. We had to ask every other server/host if we needed water, utensils, the bill, a box etc. We could see our server talking through the glass with another server to the point where another member of staff came over after we waited forever and gave us a box and settled the bill for her. Our server did not do anything, but put our order in....We never saw her again. We saw this happen with multiple tables around us and the restaurant wasn't even busy for a beautiful Sunday evening. read more

The food was pretty good. Service was horrible! Neices and nephew ordered the pancake breakfast. They brought out only the pancakes and sausage initially. We had to ask for syrup and the eggs that were supposed to come with it. After at least 30 minutes, we finally got our eggs and syrup. Unacceptable! I know, it's due to covid....blah blah blah! If you can't provide the service that guests deserve for patronizing your establishment, either lower prices, which won't happen, or close your doors until you can fully staff and provide adequate service. You're punishing your poor servers. I don't tip for bad service. Period! read more

food is bad. service is average. location is better. its like the food doesn't deserve this restaurant and location basically

This evening I met a friend in the bar. I ordered two Pacifico's and a side of guacamole to go with the chips and salsa that they brought out since I wasn't very hungry. My portion of the bill came out to $26. $26 for two 16oz beers on tap and a side of guacamole, are you insane? Each Pacifico is $8 a piece and the side of guacamole was $10 by itself. Good lord this place is a ripoff and the guacamole was a joke. I can make much better guacamole than that and just because you serve it in the $12 guacamole bowls off Amazon, that doesn't mean it's authentic or worth paying for. read more

The ambiance is nice but the vegetables seem microwaved straight out of a bag. I would of come again for maybe drinks on the patio but they lost me after they charged $25 + for a margarita. read more

Don't waste your time... worst service and food ever. The woman bartender was beyond rude when asking for water and ordering drinks.

Went here with my in-law's and the food and experience were excellent. We had several dishes including Carne Assada, seafood enchiladas and taco salad- all were very tasty. Special shout out to the corn side dish- amazing - and the jalapeño margarita- spicy and delicious. We sat in a side room which allowed for a quieter atmosphere for our parents, which made it easy to talk and enjoy our visit while eating. Service was great, I think our waiter's name was Ismael and he was very attentive and food came quickly and was presented well. Overall, a very good experience and I would recommend this restaurant to this who are in the area. read more

Very disappointing. Service was bad. After 10min of waiting we had to ask a buser if they could find out server! But worse than that the food had no flavor. I hope that management reads reviews and does a total overhaul. read more

Best margarita ever! It looks like poopy swamp water but my god it is delicious!!!! Also I'm in love with their rice!!!!

Ordered enchiladas to go. Very small and hardly any flavor. The rice and beans were very good and had more flavor than the enchiladas. Service was quick. Meal a bit overpriced for the very small portion. read more

TL;DR: Good drinks, lackluster food, inattentive service. Added a star because of the delicious margaritas. Kahlo's margarita: Good flavor, not too sweet, they add basil purée to the mix which gives it a nice fresh flavor. Happy hour nachos with pork: cheese, tortilla chips, meat, more cheese, whole black beans, more cheese. The pork was good, but it's just a plate of chips with a layer of black beans and meat, buried under a mountain of cheese. You can get better happy hour nachos at Channel Marker and Azteca - not that those are good nachos, but they're still better than these... Happy hour guacamole: fresh, tasted good Happy hour ceviche: pre-cooked whole shrimp inside a puck of salsa. If you expect normal ceviche you will not like this. The worst "ceviche" I have seen anywhere. Happy hour grilled jalapeños: two grilled, cheese stuffed stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon, good flavor Service: Our server spent a lot of time chatting with the pretty girl sitting by herself. Meanwhile my wife and I were ignored after we got our food even though the server had to pass by our table every time he came out to the patio or went back into the restaurant which was quite often. Our waters were never refilled and our first margaritas were empty for about 20 minutes without him ever asking if we'd like to order another drink (the answer would have been yes). We finished our food and then sat and waited. A nice woman came and cleared our plates. We sat for another 10 minutes before we flagged down the passing hostess just to ask for our check since we were no longer in the mood to spend more money here. A different server came to let us pay our check. We then left and went to Kelnero for our second and third drink. We don't feel any need to try this place again. Many places in Edmonds with much better food and service for the same cost. read more

Poor food quality , terrible service . With so many great restaurants in the area no need to waste time trying this place . You are better off going to Chipotle's read more

Beautiful scenery, I'm sure that the food would have been good. However, if you are black, or in an inrerracial relationship...dine elsewhere. They will essentially seat you and then ignore your table until you decide to leave. But boy, they sure clear those tables fast after you've left! So the turnaround is good, I guess?‍ read more

Slowest kitchen i've seen. Waited over 45mins for standard menu items (and had children with us so that was fun). Wait staff was nice, but highly unorganized. Food was average. Won't be going back read more

Drinks were great (but quite strong), food was great. Our darling server Melissa recommended the fried ice cream and it did not disappoint. Thanks for the good guidance Melissa, and thanks for taking such good care of us. read more

The food here is expensive, service is terrible. Asked for water and it took way to long. - Asked for some salsa brought us ketchup. The food here is super expensive and not that good at all. - asked for some coke brought us sprite at this point I was frustrated and on top of that they kept bring us the wrong items. They told us "we are under staffed" not my fault never going back here again. Never have I ever felt so frustrated that a place would do this. At the end of the day, if you don't have enough staff don't open. I left this place shamed of how bad this place was. Ruined my night. It has good views though read more

Friendly and capable service, loved the interior look and feel and the dog friendly patio offers great people watching, view of the sound and the ferry as it loads and unloads. The food was delicious. read more

Better than being in a hot car in the ferry line. But the food could be better. The service is ok though. Unbelievable location for those waiting captive for the ferry. read more

One star is actually being generous. Took forever for the server to even acknowledge us. We finished the chips and salsa then overheard several other diners complaining that the food was so bland and tasted awful. After waiting 30 mins to receive our beers (really?) and listening to the diners, we then gathered our things and left. The place was NOT busy at all but the service was horrible! We were hoping for a new fantastic restaurant in that beautiful location, but unfortunately that is not the case! Ten dollars for 1 Pacifico? Is that a standard price? seems extremely inflated. We WON'T be going back... so sad. read more

My wife and I went here last Wednesday for an anniversary dinner and we both loved our experience. Our waitress, Drew was amazing, and was attentive to our questions and had a great personality. We started with one of their craft marguerita's, and ordered the bacon wrapped jalepenos stuffed with goat cheese as our appetizer...Wow ! When asked, Drew mentioned that her favorite Marg was the Basil Marguerita, and it was absolutely 'off the hook' amazing ! Of course, I had a second one ! LOL Thank You Jackie !!! So there are many Mexican restaraunts that are good, but I liked that the menu here was not like every other Mexican/American offering. The chef here offers a menu that's more creative...that's what makes this place so special. I did have the Carne Asada, and it was cooked exactly as I requested. The flour tortillas were perfect...and the guacamole was delicious. I also ordered the corn for one of my side dishes...amazing ! My wife ordered the Seafood Enchilada's, and it was in a Lobster Sauce, and had shrimp, crab, and local fish mixed inside. It was absolutely incredible too ! I'm so happy that we decided to have dinner here and we'll be back. Thank You for the incredible first experience at your fabulous restaraunt ! read more

what can I said about this place... the advertise throw me here. Food was not good at all. the hostess was the start of this place. My order was incomplete. I Will never come back to this place and definitely will not recommended. read more

Food was ok, but service was horrible. Literally waited an hour before they even took our order, and the place was almost empty, then they never bothered to check our needs and much later, to bring the bill. If you have lots of time to waste, go, but otherwise skip it. read more

I'd be suspect about a Mexican Restaurant that charged you for their chips and salsa, but especially so when the food is mediocre and service indifferent. They have a great location, but that's it. read more

My wife and I had our eye on this place ever since it went under construction 2 years ago. We recently were delighted with a stellar night out here. The staff was kind and attentive. Our server kept our chips and salsa topped off and ensured we had everything we needed. The hot salsa was very authentic and amazing! Drinks were well portioned and very delicious. We both got separate dishes and shared the sides. Clever how the sides come in easily shareable bowls. I got the carne asada and was very impressed with the portions. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great Mexican in Edmonds. Looking forward to our next outing here catching the sunset on the patio with great service, food, and drinks! read more
