marlo tacos

This place was absolutely phenomenal. Everything was so fresh and homemade. I personally had the Al Pastor Taco, the Chip con Queso and the Pineapple Mango Agua Fresca. The service was wonderful, our waiter was very helpful and kind. The food was extremely packed with flavour, perfectly seasoned and not overbearing. The sauces that are on the table (as soon as you walk in) were also absolutely delicious, they explained what they would taste like as well as the spicy-ness before you had them which was nice. The service was very quick, you had food in front of you within 10-15 minutes (if that) and that was in a dinner rush. Overall very well done and would most definitely recommend a visit!

I’ve already been here twice since they opened this past weekend (yes, twice!) as I am a HUGE taco fan and always excited when new taco restaurants open in Edmonton. Pictured are the Birria & Mushroom tacos (I also tried the Chorizo and the Al Pastor) - ALL the tacos here are incredible. My favourite is the Al Pastor because they put a long piece of pineapple over the taco so you get pineapple in every bite, it is so delicious. I have no complaints about the food, or the service (both were amazing!) (although I do wish they had guacamole or anything with some avocado…) my only confusion is about the pricing of the menu.The chips and dip are priced separately and I really wish they were just priced together to make it easier to understand for the customer. As well, the tacos are priced individually rather than in groups of 2-3. I found it a bit hard to gauge how much to order and I was ordering tacos 1-2 at a time rather than all at once. Customers should have a general understanding of how much food to order at once to leave feeling full, and I don’t feel like this is accomplished with Marlo’s menu as it stands right now.All that said, I will reiterate that the tacos were very very good and I’d go back to eat them again.

Marlo is the newest taco joint in Edmonton, and it definitely delivers on flavor and atmosphere. The cozy atmosphere creates a small, intimate setting, making it perfect for a relaxed outing with a friend. However, keep in mind that large parties might have difficulty finding seating due to the limited space.The service at Marlo was excellent. Despite it being our first visit, the staff provided a warm welcome and took the time to explain everything on the menu. They were attentive and made us feel well taken care of.While the menu may not be geared towards kids, my 4-year-old still found something enjoyable—their in-house made tortilla chips. It's worth noting that the main dishes may not be as kid-friendly, but the chips are a great option to keep little ones satisfied.Now let's talk about the highlight—the food. We had the opportunity to try every taco on the menu, and each one impressed us. Our personal favorites, in order, were the Birria, Al Pastor, Chorizo, Bean, Fish, and Mushroom. What's great about Marlo is that they sell their tacos individually, allowing you to mix and match without feeling obligated to order three of the same kind. We also indulged in the Chips and Three Dips starter, which was absolutely delicious. A pro tip: if you opt for the chips and three dips, they'll generously offer to refill your chip bowl for free. It's a pleasant surprise that isn't clearly mentioned, but the staff informed us about this perk.To complement the food, Marlo offers a solid selection of drinks. They have a variety of canned beverages available, as well as two beers on tap. It seems like one tap consistently features Sea Change Death Wave, while the other rotates different options, providing a nice variety for beer enthusiasts.

Saw a post on IG about a new taco place on Whyte Ave and immediately asked friends, who wanted to join me and try out their food and drinks?!They open at 10am so I showed up at 1130am. Found a booth for my group of four and happy I arrived when I did. No sooner did I sit down, all available tables were taken and just the bar had space left. Place is quite small but I love how quaint it is. Sits 30 people including the bar. They were also playing some fun music as I waited for my friends to show up. Due to the small space, and that includes between the tables, parents, do not bring in your stroller. There simply is no room inside. Plan accordingly as the restaurant does not have the room.The menu is simple but there is more options then you think. Everything is ordered individually, which allows you to mix and match.Read about some confusion when it comes to the chips and dip and I now get it and believe it needs to be worked on. So the chips, just the chips are $5. That does not include any dip. The dips are individually priced. So to order the chips and pico, it's $5 + $4. Now, if you order all the dips it's $17, which includes the chips and you get one free refill of chips. But only if you order the $17 option. However, $4 for pico and you get maybe ¼ or ⅓ of dip, that is a little pricey. We did order the $17 option so as to try all the dips and they were all delicious. But again, $5 for a dip when we got maybe ⅓, or at best ¼ of dip is not much for what you pay.The back side of the menu has all of their drinks options and there are many to choose from. Love that they serve the local beer Sea Change here on tap, good job! They also have canned drinks which include local and imported options. The cocktails and mocktails looked soo delicious and you can not forget the zero proof options too. Decided to try their Cinco Drink Co in a can with a glass of ice. It's made in BC and it was perfect and I would happily order it again.Decided to try their Birria, Mushroom and Fish Tacos. All of our orders came out at the same time, nice and hot and it smelled amazing. My Birria came with a consommé to dip it in. It was so fresh, the meat was tender and spiced just right and I loved dipping it into the consommé. The Mushroom Taco came with pickled onion, though they initially forgot about them, it was quickly fixed when a bowl of it was delivered to the table. The flavors of this taco surprised me, along with the tender mushrooms. What a unique option and taste. Lastly, the Fish Taco which I absolutely love to eat. The fish was perfectly battered, and was not greasy at all. The cabbage added that delicious crunch and it was just what I hoped for. The tortillas are delicious, but you do need to eat a little quick. They tend to fall apart a bit if you wait too long as they are that fresh.The three sauces on the table were all well loved by my group. We used them on everything and they added that extra flavor or spice that you needed to make the meal that much better.Since I was on a role, deiced to also order their Mexican Chocolate Tarte. It's bigger then I anticipated. Bought it for everyone to try, and they did try it, but I ate 99% of it. It's served cool with some whipping cream. The texture is soo smooth and it's not dense. It's light and also not super sweet. Was devine and the perfect way to end my meal.Would love to see them offer an option where if you order two of the same taco, you get $1 off. Or a deal when you order three tacos. Lots were ordering multiple tacos, would be interesting if they offered something that would entice people to order their tacos all at once and not one at a time so as to keep the tables moving.Table next to me order their margaritas and the salt on the rim was crazy. They looked delicious. Another table ordered the burrito and it too looked very yummy.I'll happily return to this restaurant as the food is delicious and I hope to find a day when it's not soo hot out. They have the ability to put out four tables on their patio and that would be a great afternoon lunch idea.

Had to wait to get it but was worth it. Enjoyed their food, staff was welcoming. Loved the quantity and quality this place offers. We had veggie burrito, chips and tacos. Everything on the menu is worth trying. Worthy of the hype.

I had the Burrito and it was delicious. I will definitely go back for more. Great location and awesome vibes.

Tacos are delicious but they are hands down the most expensive tacos in Edmonton, by 30-50%. Service was great, and super quick. I’d say worth trying if you are in the area and don’t mind paying the premium, but if you are elsewhere and craving tacos just go to any of the other well established Mexican restaurants throughout the city.

I visited Marlo tacos on a Wednesday afternoon with my daughter. we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of the food. The place is small but cozy, with a nice bar and some tables. The service was friendly and attentive, and the menu had a lot of options to choose from.We ordered the chips with all 3 dips ( slasa , queso , and black bean dip)as an appetizer. The tacos were served on soft corn tortillas, with fresh toppings like cilantro, onion, cabbage, and lime. The chicken was tender and spicy, and the beef was sweet and savory. Both tacos had a lot of flavor and texture, and we loved the contrast between the meat and the veggies.They have a small but excellent assortment of alcoholic to non alcoholic drinks.We paid a reasonable price for our meal, and we left feeling satisfied and happy. We would definitely recommend Marlo tacos to anyone who loves Mexican food or wants to try something different.

Stopped here for lunch around noon. No wait. Staff all dressed beach vibes. Loved the mocktail and my boyfriend had a beer on tap. All local products and the tacos to die for. Can’t wait to go back!!
