We opted to share la menu végétarien, and for 15 €, it was almost enough to satisfy! We had to order a second helping of falafel al a carte (includes 5 extra falafel balls) which was then enough for us to feel oh so good. The fixed menu includes hommos, baba ganoush, tabouli, samboussik jebne (which is like a little samosa with cheese inside), fatayer (another samosa type with spinach inside), rakakat jebne (melted cheese inside Lebanese bread), falafel, and mjadara (potatoes and lentils). There was also a rice dish listed, but we didn't get that. You also get an ample side of pita bread! It's a lot of food and it's all perfectly prepared. At the end of the meal they brought us a couple sweet desserts, one corn based doused in honey, and the other a cream-pistachio topped sweet bread. And! A delicious serving of Moroccan mint tea. This was my favorite meal in Marseille, hands down. If it only were closer to where we stayed, we would've returned for another delicious meal. Don't miss out on this place!

Lots of different dishes to choose from. Very good pita bread. Lots of vegetarian options as well. Pretty affordable, about $20 per person. If you eat more, you can obviously get a bang for your buck. Walking distance from the train station. We came in with our luggage and they stored it for us. Some of the tables are very close to the floor with the chairs at the same height as the table, so good to be open to different experiences. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

The flavor was great and the fish was cooked perfectly! I asked for a zalabia for dessert (it is my favorite), which made the older gentleman helping me very happy, but much to our dismay they were out! I tried a rolled baklava and mint tea instead which were very good. Then when I was paying the older gentleman brought me a fresh zalabia that he had the kitchen make! It was so sweet! It felt like I was at a family member's house. The restaurant was packed and it seemed the staff knew almost everyone who came through the door. Just FYI, very little English is spoken at the restaurant (and my French is pretty bad), the one younger waiter explained everything to me, which was very nice of him. I was dining by myself and the older gentleman sat with me even though we had a language barrier. I highly recommend this restaurant! Merci beaucoup!

I had this little Mexican restaurant on my list to visit not only to see if some of the regional…read moreflavors can be replicated in France but also because they have vegetarian and vegan options. It is a very cute, yet small eatery located in a trendy part of Marseille. There are a total of three tables inside and several tables outside. The team running Mexicaine a Marseille is super chill and speaks English if needed. The menu is limited but simple. What I liked the most was that they provide quesadillas, burritos, salads, and tacos in meat, vegetarian, and vegan options. There are plenty of choices to be had. Every option has fresh ingredients. TIP 1: Skip the nachos, the guacamole is pretty good for being made in France, but the chip with melted shredded cheese is not the same as melted liquid cheese. If you order a drink, grab it from the fridge and let the cashier know at the end when it is time to pay what drinks you had. TIP 2: The benches and tables inside are seated high. If you or the accompanying diners have limited mobility, I recommend eating outside on the patio. This place gets busy. There are a lot of pickup and delivery orders, but it adds to its charm and reputation. While it may not be a taqueria from Guadalajara, the team makes every effort to bring some Mexican flavors and tastes to France.

We just wanted something quick and can take to go since we started our day early and had been driving all day. We got to this place and ordered chicken quesadillas, chicken burrito, and a juice to go. The guy working here was a super friendly. Teaching us some French as he cooked our meals. Sadly his credit card machine did not work for us so bring cash as back up just in case. When we got home we dug into our food... Still warm from the walk.. And perfect for the night. Great flavor and with using the grill to press our meals...the tortilla had a nice crisp end to it. If you're in the area and want something different than the ordinary French cuisine. Come here!
