Marlindo - Guacamole, shrimp tacos, tuna tostada - Latin American Near Me - Ciudad de México, DIF

Service was fine. Ambiance was fine. Food was horrible. I would say this was likely among one of the worst restaurants I've eaten at in a very long time. I had the octopus tacos and octopus peanut tacos. I couldn't even manage to finish either as they were so bad. The flavor just wasn't it. I pulled out some of the octopus to separate it from the other items and it wasn't any better on its own. I also noticed that they were among the two most expensive items on the menu which makes me suspect the waiter was just directing me to the most expensive items rather than the most popular, which is what I inquired about. Don't recommend, would never come back here again. read more

Marlindo - Octopus tacos - Latin American Near Me - Ciudad de México, DIF

This place is awesome. This restaurant had been on our bucket list for weeks, and we needed to try it because it is just blocks away from the place where we were staying. I was torn between the cerviche de palmitos and Marlin al escabeche. Both meals were reasonably priced and they are both such exotic meals for this city. I already know what cerviche is and I've tried it over a dozen times in more South American countries like Peru. The Marlin however would have been a first for me. In the end, instead of taking the risk, I settled for what I already know- cerviche. It was good however it wasn't exactly how I remembered it tasting. I loved every bite of it. This restaurant is definitely unique for the city, and it's located in a great area as well. read more

Marlindo - Latin American Near Me - Ciudad de México, DIF

Excellent first meal in Mexico City. This place was around the corner from our airbnb in Roma Norte, and my wife saw that they had marlin tacos on the menu. She was pleased, and I liked my shrimp tacos. But, hers were much better. Maybe because you don't see it on the menu much on LA, but they were tasty. I definitely would recommend this place. It's cute inside, service is friendly, and food is very good! read more

Marlindo - shrimp tacos and a local cerveza - Latin American Near Me - Ciudad de México, DIF

The aguachile here is next level--so fresh and authentic, I felt like I was kicking it beachside in Nayarit. Perfect balance of heat and citrus, super refreshing. The marlin tacos were packed with flavor--smoky, savory, and satisfying with every bite. You can tell they're not cutting corners in the kitchen. The Pura Vida Ceviche was super tasty too--bright, citrusy, and loaded with fresh seafood. Straight-up delicious. But the best part? The Mezcal Chela--a shot of mezcal and a cold beer for one solid price. It's a no-brainer. Marlindo is that spot that hits all the right notes: good food, chill vibes, and flavors that make you wanna come back tomorrow. But I can't since I live in San Diego. So, until next time Marlindo. read more

Marlindo: A Hidden Gem in Mexico City's Culinary Sea Sometimes the best meals come when plans go awry. After a much-anticipated visit to another restaurant turned into a 45-minute wild goose chase--thank you, Google--I found myself stumbling upon Marlindo, a Marlin-themed taqueria that instantly piqued my curiosity. Specializing in a game fish I'd never had the chance to try, this restaurant turned my day around and delivered an unexpected culinary adventure. The menu at Marlindo is a celebration of the sea, and I dove in headfirst. Naturally, we started with guacamole--fresh, vibrant, and exactly what you'd hope for in Mexico City. A tuna tostada followed, layered with silky fresh tuna and bright flavors. The tuna ceviche? A standout--bursting with citrus, perfectly fresh, and almost too good to share. The true star of the show, however, was the Marlin. I tried the Marlin enchiladas, which were delightfully satisfying. While the fish didn't assert itself as a bold, unmistakable flavor, it had a delicate, smoky quality that paired beautifully with Marlindo's vibrant salsas. Each salsa brought its own personality to the table, from zippy and bright to smoky and robust, elevating every bite. And of course, there were tacos--because when in Mexico City, tacos are non-negotiable. Marlindo's were simple, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. If you're feeling indecisive, know that you can't go wrong with any taco on the menu. The ambiance added to the charm. Set in a cozy space with a relaxed vibe, the restaurant even featured two guitar-playing gentlemen who serenaded the diners. It was a sweet, unexpected touch that made the experience feel uniquely Mexican. While I initially set out for a different culinary destination, Marlindo turned out to be the serendipitous gem of the day. If you're looking for a spot in Mexico City to try something different--something Marlin-themed--you won't regret stopping here. It's a fresh, flavorful, and delightfully memorable experience I'm glad I stumbled upon. read more

Marlindo - Jumbo shrimp, shrimp and octopus tacos, fish ceviche, and marlin something - Latin American Near Me - Ciudad de México, DIF

Had a chance to try Marlindo - and if you are looking for a well priced spot with great seafood items and dishes - this one's for you! The service is fast here and the ambiance is cute - it's a nice spot to hang with friends! When we got here around 2:30pm on a Monday, thankfully there were plenty of seats open and we were able to sit down. We ended up ordering: *tuna tostadas - honestly this was fantastic - me and my brother devoured this and enjoyed every bite. The fish was delicious and the sauces and fried leeks went perfectly together! *fish ceviche - this was surprisingly very delicious - the fish was nice and tasty and the tarty flavor went really well together. *octopus tacos : these were our least favorite but it was seasoned octopus in small bits with cheese. I would skip these next time and order the shrimp and fish items! * shrimp tacos: I can't remember the exact name but it was the garlic shrimp ones. Imagine taking a seasoned garlic butter shrimp and cheese with delicious salsas and eating it. It was magical and enjoyed every bite! A little on the heavy side though Overall, experience was great and would definitely recommend all to check this place out - you won't be disappointed! read more

I loved everything that I tried here. Ordered chips and guac for the table; the guac was legit, but one thing I liked about the chips is they brought out 5 different salsa to try. My drink of choice was a mojito, and I highly advise you to try the one with maracuya (sp?) soooo good For the main course I had the ceviche (super good) and the shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were good but not the best I've had. But everything else was EXCELLENT. Highly recommend if you're in CDMX and looking for a chill place with good food and good service. read more

We stumbled upon this place after a nearby restaurant had too long of a wait, and it became one of our favorite meals of the trip! The tacos were delicious, the guac was a generous portion size, and the atmosphere was great with outdoor seating and beachy music. My favorite were the Baja fish tacos with a glass of beer. I probably wouldn't order the peacadilla again - those tacos were fully fried (like the shell encloses the filling and they fry that), which was a little too much for us. read more
