Really delicous place to get some authentic Mexican food. Love the inside. Not much to look at from…read morethe outside but gorgeous inside. Full of bright colours and interesting mural and interesting art all over. Seating isn't exactly comfortable but otherwise a fun plae to dine. Menu is fantastic. There are so many things to try. They have appitizers, tacos, street food, and larger mains. Be sure to check out the dessert display case. We didn't have the room for dessert but it looks amazing. Oh and there is a plentiful drink menu. Ceviche was on special and I love that so we ordered it. It contained cubed wite fish marinated in lime juice, and mixxed with pico de Gallo and tooped with avocado. It ws served with tortilla chips. It was fresh and delicious. I would order this again. My husband went with the enchilada suizas which w was 3 tortillas filled with shredded chicken baked in salsa verde. It was rich, filling , and tasty. I ordered the plato de la abuela wich had a bit of everything. It contained rice, beans, potatoes, tortillas and you can pick your filling. I went with fish and beef. Massive portions and it was really tasty too. i especially like the fish filling. I had leftovers for the next day. IF you are indecive this is a good way to go. Service was in general good, except when it was time for the bill. I had to ask repeatily. Worth trying!

The coral door, the papel picado dancing in the windows, the warm glow from within -- it pulls you in before you've even decided to stop. I came for a drink and left utterly charmed. The tamarind passion fruit cocktail arrived in a stunning geometric cut glass, beautifully presented, and at just $6 it was one of the best value moments I've had in Edmonton in a long time. I sat outside in the afternoon sun, drink in hand, just soaking it all in and letting the neighbourhood wash over me. Marlo's ethos is simple and honest -- daily tortillas made from Oaxacan corn, slow-stewed meats, bright salsas, and regionally inspired cocktails. They do a few things and they do them with real care. In a world of sprawling menus and overpromising kitchens, that kind of focus is quietly radical. Old Strathcona is lucky to have Marlo. I'll be back for the tacos -- and another one of those drinks.

That upside-down Corona had me feeling like I was solving a physics problem just to get every last drop. The food? Incredible. We had the halibut fish tacos and it was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The barbacoa, and judging by how quickly it disappeared, I don't think he came up for air between bites. The atmosphere was lively, the staff were friendly, and every single thing we ordered hit the mark. The only downside? We now have to explain to every other Mexican restaurant why they just don't measure up anymore. We'll definitely be back... probably wearing stretchy pants and pretending we're "just stopping in for one margarita."

Ordered the Pescado (Haddock Tacos) with a side of rice. Really small portion of rice though. Not sure if that's typical for here or perhaps they were running low...? Also had the Lime Mojito. Refreshing and not too sweet. Just the way I prefer it. Service was great. Place filled up pretty fast shortly after. Just as I had finished my meal. Ambience was pleasant. Mexican music...not too loud. Prices are pretty decent but the drinks are on the spendier side.

Although I needed to try too many things on the menu so it was expensive lol. They have amazing tacos and home made guac/salsa/chips. The chips are definitely home made because they have that authentic taste. I tried the fish tacos which I really enjoyed. I think overall though my favourite thing on the menu was definitely the guacamole! Yummy! We didn't have to wait for a seat or anything even though it was busy so that was nice. It also has a good neighbourhood vibe where everyone knows each other and its very homey and nice. I also love the little flags they give! I'll definitely be back!

However it is clean and presentable but lacks the vibrancy you would expect in a Mexican restaurant. Extensive menu. So many different options. I went with the Birra tacos, and my husband went with the torta. We also ordered two alcohol drinks. Staff were super friendly. Service was fast and thoughtful. Food was amazing. My birra tacos were full of tender slow cooked meat. It was flavoured lovely. the birra sauce was amazing to dip in. A messy taco but well worth it. My husband's torta was massive. I took a bite and it was full of flavour. I don't think you can go wrong with this menu. Prices are a little high. However, the quality is there. Worth checking out.

Luckily we ordered tacos and I just happened to notice a discount on the bill and asked why we had it.  Water pitcher on the table was nice.  Tried the Ensalada Verde salad to start (share). Dressing was a little too sour for me and the greens were not crisp. 7/10.  I got the Fish tacos - 12/10 wow. Fish was SOOOO big and tasty. Slaw was meh but fish was wow wow.  Friend got the blackened chicken - 6/10, dry chicken, not a lot of great flavor or texture. We also got the Grilled Pina Colada dessert - 4/10. Pineapple had nice grill marks but was just warm, not caramelized like Pampas. Ice cream was good but just vanilla. Pineapple sauce was just thickened pineapple juice. Tiny sprinkle of granola on top. Overall very underwhelmed Especially for the price - WAY overpriced.  Recommending - only come for the fish taco and come on a Tuesday!!
