Cute little place. Nice people and good tacos!
What does authentic mean?If you do something the same way for 50 years, is it authentic yet?Marlo's is a great place to get a very authentic American Tex-Mex experience. It's not an authentic Mexican Taqueria experience. It's not Taco Bell fast food. It's something else entirely, something that is very difficult to find elsewhere.Marlo's offers a classic American, Tex-Mex menu.Tex-Mex used to be everywhere in the US, but has been pushed out by a appetites for either Taco Bell fast food or a more authentic Mexican flavor. Somewhere "Tex-Mex" got lost, and now almost no restaurant would claim they serve "Tex-Mex" anymore.What Marlo's serves is American. It's what was served all over the country in the 70's and 80's when Tex-Mex restaurants were a staple at a mall or main street.A lot of people don't like that, and you can read them here complaining about how this isn't real, or it's like a cafeteria Mexican dinner, and maybe it is like a cafeteria Mexican dinner, but it's like a GOOD cafeteria Mexican dinner.When you were a kid, did you skip packing your sack lunch on taco day? Or did you ask your parents to let you eat at your friends house because their mom was making tacos or enchiladas? Or do your remember a great Tex-Mex dinner at a camp or church cafeteria? Marlo's is making something that you want to try.
Wonderful Tex-Amex food, I’ve eaten here for years and staff has always treated everyone that walks through that door, like they’re family.? Top-notch customer service, and the food is AWESOME!! It’s hard to decide what we like best cuz it’s ALL good!!?
I got the enchilada salad and I was not very impressed. To be fair, the person taking my order did warn me that they were out of guacamole, and apparently that makes the dish better, but I really don't see how. There's only one tiny enchilada that's surrounded by maybe two handfuls of very thin shredded lettuce and cheese sauce and little bit of diced tomatoes... I ate the enchilada and discarded the warm iceberg lettuce-cheese sauce mixture. Again, even if there were Guacamole in it, it would be even more soupy I think.I really like this place! The people working there are very nice, and I usually enjoy my meal. This time it was a very disappointing meal and I feel like I paid way too much for very little food.
The staff is always very nice, good food for the price
Severely underrated taco place in Fayetteville with very friendly staff. Get the chicken nachos!
Such a cute little place! The food is great and everyone working was so nice. Definitely will be recommending to all my friends looking for a very “funky Fayetteville” spot!
Always a solid place to grab some food pretty basic but what they do they do well can be a tad slower than your typical fast food etc but never disappointed when I get home
Always love Marlos cheese dip. Best small taco joint for quick tacos.
This is a classic staple of Fayetteville. The food is great. But space is limited so beat the crowd when you can.
