The food was incredible with generous portions and a good price point. The sauce on the heuvos rancheros was so flavourful. The beef in the birria plate was tender and plentiful. I got a side of hot sauce which was just like what you'd get in Mexico. I also tried the cafe de olla and it was very good. It has spices and simple syrup. I asked for less syrup so it was only a little sweet but super yummy with the spices. We're really happy we found this place! We'd love to try more things on the menu and we were particularly interested in the soups. The food is authentic and home cooked.

Vibrant, colourful, and everything you would like to see in a Mexican restaurant. Service was friendly and excellent. Food was good. We decided to split the Carne Asada fries, which were my favourite of the dishes. It was bursting with food and flavour. And also a really generous portion. I would order this again. And I asked for their home style hot sauce and it was lovely. My friend had the Flautas and soup which looked great. I had the Sope. Sope was okay but the flautas and soup is what I should have gotten. And during the winter I noticed they have a soup flight which I think would be super fun to try. It isn't my favourite place to eat Latino food in Edmonton, but it was pleasant. Give it a try!

So the Ambiance isn't the best here, it looks a little fast foodish with little colour which is…read moresomething I admire in Latino establishments. However, it makes up for it in the food and service. By far one of the best Latino eateries in the Edmonton area (Luna is another favourite). A really great diverse menu and you can find something for everyone. Also a great place for beer, Mexican soda, and cocktails. We started out with Papa al Ajilo - Creamy potatoes sautéed in tasty garlic and guajillo peppers, seasoned with a mixture of Mexican spices, served with Chipotle sauce. These were good. The potatoes were well cooked, although I could have used more peppers in there to me it wasn't spicy enough. However, the chipotle sauce was lovely. I went with the Haurache -Handmade with corn flour and stuffed with refried beans topped the meat of your choice, fresh lettuce, sour cream, onions, feta cheese and avocado sauce. I asked the server to surprise me with the meat. I should have asked her what she ordered for me, but it was delicous and had pineapple with it, so I am assuming pork? Anyway this was the first time with me trying a huarache and it was so freaking delish that I will order this every time I go. My husband ordered the Tacos de Bistec - Three corn tortillas with grilled beef steak, topped with diced onion and fresh cilantro. These were also good but for sure the Huarache wone out. Service even though it was extremely busy was attentive. Honestly what a gem!

Finally got to try Mariachi Love on a weekday around lunchtime. We had popped in previously but…read morethe wait was 45 minutes plus. First off, I LOVE Mexican food! I grew up in Seattle and am accustomed to good authentic tix Mexican food from the coast. The menu here tells you off the hop that it's going to be authentic and EXPLODING with flavour. Prices are great with lots of small shareable plates. My teen and I ordered the beet salad (bursting with flavour and of course authentic cotija cheese), chicken quesadilla (so good with sautéed peppers but I forgot to take a pic), and molletes (traditional open faced Mexican sandwich with beans, cheese, and pico). We also tried to order the Jamaica hibiscus water but it wasn't ready and was still being boiled. Will definitely try it next time! They are still awaiting their liquor license so no review on cocktails or authentic margaritas, just yet ;-) The beet salad (beet tiradito) was OUTSTANDING and I will probably order that every single time I come! Thinly sliced roasted chilled beets, arugula, cotija cheese, grape tomatoes and housemade orange honey dressing! TO DIE FOR! I love that the salad was small enough that I can still order a single taco or appy with it! Next up was the molletes appy - opened faced sandwich with melted cheese, beans, pico and sour cream. Unfortunately the pico didn't sit right with me - all I could taste was onions. I prefer a pico that isn't mostly onions and one where the raw onions have sat a bit in the juices of the tomatoes and citrus. I brought the sandwich home for hubs (who surprisingly said he could t eat it because it tasted like an onion sandwich rather than the pico being a topping). So if you LOVE raw onions, this may be the sandwich for you. Next up was the quesadilla with chicken and lime crema. Oh. Em. Gee. That was seriously the BEST quesadilla I have ever had in Alberta. It puts all the other places I've tried here to SHAME. The sautéed peppers, corn, and beans inside were heavenly and cooked to perfection. There was a hefty amount of pico on top which my teen mostly picked off (also found it too strong on the onion today). The lime crema was OUTSTANDING. I seriously cannot wait to come back even if the pico wasn't my fave. Also the restaurant is super cute - and they've really given it a cantina vibe despise the small strip mall location. I will definitely do an update when we return and I have a sneaky suspicion the rating mag bump to 5 stars ;-)

If you love mushrooms then try these. Mezcal Adobo Mussels - mussels, mezcal adobo sauce, grilled crostinis This dish was also good, and an interesting take on mussels. Finally Queso Fundido which contained - oaxaca cheese, pico de gallo, pork chorizo, mushrooms and tortillas. This was excellent (we ordered two) and incredibly rich. They also have a decent wine/beer menu and a great cocktail menu. Service was good.

I came here for my birthday dinner and overall had a great experience!…read more We started with the House Salsa Tasting, which came with black bean refritos with cotija cheese, salsa macha, salsa roja, salsa borracha, salsa cruda (pico de gallo), and agave totopos. Every salsa had its own unique flavor, and they were all delicious. The chips were fresh and crispy, and we even ended up using some of the salsas with the rest of our meal because they were that good. Next, we ordered the Beef Quesabirria, which came with braised beef, Oaxaca cheese, salsa cascabel, birria consommé, pickled red onion, white onion, cilantro, lime, and flour tortillas. These were absolutely incredible. The beef was tender, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The consommé was honestly a 10/10 and tied everything together. We also tried the Chicken Tinga Quesabirria, which came with chicken tinga, Oaxaca cheese, salsa cascabel, chicken birria consommé, pickled red onion, white onion, cilantro, lime, and flour tortillas. These were just as enjoyable! The chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked really well. To finish, we were surprised with complimentary churros because it was my birthday, which was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture. It was a great way to end the meal. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and the outdoor patio has a great atmosphere. The only downside during my birthday visit was the service. We waited over 15 minutes just to get our drinks and another 15-20 minutes before anyone came to take our food order. There were quite a few long gaps throughout the meal. Our server was friendly, but I expected quicker service, especially for a Wednesday evening around 7 p.m. That said, I actually returned a few days later, and the service was much better, so it seems like it may have just been an off night. Overall, the food was outstanding and definitely the highlight of the experience. I'd absolutely come back for the quesabirria and salsa tasting!

They are not comparable in either quality or service. The experience is best described as disorganized. Individuals with no serving background and halted english (family/friends) are acting as servers, which is a recipe for customer frustration. We waited forever after being seated to be given menus, even though the seating area is small. We had already chosen what we wanted from online menus, but didn't have an opportunity to say so or even order a drink before the server was gone again. Orders had to be repeated, dishes were half cleaned up, no napkins were provided (at a taco place!). Very amateur service indeed. How are they gonna cope with a patio? The food was also below par. I really wanted to try the nopales but worried it would be slimy canned stuff. Given the $16 Betabel salad we did order was nothing special (pickled beets, bits of orange, bagged spring salad, a speckling of shredded halloumi, pepitas totally forgotten), I'm glad we played it safe. The tacos were the most disappointing. We tried carnitas and suadero. Both meats were overcooked, very dry and lacking in flavour. The fresh salsa was mild and added nothing other than moisture. This was also bad because their fresh corn tortillas are served as single layer and start disintegrating after the first bite. Patrons ordering 6 tacos at a time, a full plate, will surely be left with a sloppy mess. The only thing we truly enjoyed were the sopes. I've never had such fresh sopes, lighly cooked only not heavily fried, really tasty and gone too soon. Not worth $20 mind you. Didn't even try a margarita because they start at $14 and are served in those silly long stem, shallow hat-shaped glasses. When did margaritas get to be such a rip-off? A Corona will set you back $8, a Pacifico $10. Just why? Not sure if the plan was to subsidize the more expensive, dinner-focused Mayté with a high turnover taquiera, but if so the model is a massive fail. You actually have to have decent service, reasonable prices and great eats. Having a cute space and theme is not enough to pass in this foodie town. Que mal!

Flavour of tacos were good. The shrimp cocktail was a very good size - it lacked flavour. I was expecting more spice and lemon flavours like back in Mexico. The food was pretty bland - again - we were expecting more spice for a Mexican restaurant. some of the dishes that would have something as simple as traditional beans back in Mexico - didn't have it here. We were really hoping for a more "home-cooked" feel. The tortilla soup was pretty good (again could have used more spice). I would come back with hopes the spice/flavour will improve.

Edmonton is home to a lot of incredible options when it comes to Mexican food but the amigos have…read morebeen around since 2005 and are probably one of the earlier additions of this cuisine to the city's food scene. And yes, there really are three amigos - three brothers, actually. The Rosales brothers are from Oaxaca and have been treating Edmonton to their vibrant flavours for nearly twenty years. It's no surprise that the Edmonton Journal voted them as Favourite Mexican Restaurant 2023 after becoming such a long-lasting and trusted name in Mexican fare. What better day of the week to visit a bumpin' Mexican joint than on Tuesday! Taco Tuesday, that is! I highly recommend making a reservation at Three Amigos because every time that I visit I watch people get turned away at the door because the restaurant is often full. This is especially true on a Tuesday, the day of my recent dinner. You'll find Three Amigos in a strip mall in Duggan, not far removed from all of the south side hustle and bustle. You can't possibly miss them with their awesome sign with a giant lit-up number three on it. Stepping into the space is like a portal straight to Mexico! The colours! The energy! The smells! The restaurant is positively alive with the vibration of Mexico and it's a feast for the senses. No inch of the dining area is spared from a bright splash of paint, an interesting piece of art, or something else that feels incredibly authentic. I love the corrugated tin walls, the tabletops made out of metal Corona signs, and the Latin music filling the air. And I especially love the bathrooms, which you need to see for yourself. Let's just say that they have leaned into an entire unexpected Simpsons theme down in that end of the restaurant and it's hilariously wonderful. You will certainly not be short on atmosphere at Three Amigos. The servers are warm and friendly, offering a glow of hospitality that makes every customer feel welcome. Seated at my table, I was treated to an excellent view of the entire room and I watched as each and every table filled and became occupied for the evening. I could think of no better way to start the meal than with a Horchata Aguas Frescas ($5.00) and Totopos (House made corn tortilla chips, salsa - $12.00). Horchata is my forever favourite and I order it every time (if I'm not drinking alcohol). A traditional Mexican beverage made up of white rice soaked in water and then flavoured with cinnamon. It's sweet, nutty, and milky but also somehow quite refreshing. The horchata at Three Amigos is very good, however I did find that the bottom of my drink was very dense with ground cinnamon. I found the grainy sips to be a bit much and could have used for the cinnamon to have been dialed back a bit. The totopos seem simple enough but are not to be missed. The heaping mountain of tortilla chips are the perfect thing for everyone to munch on, and let me tell you, these housemade chips are addictive. You can tell that they taste freshly fried and are salted just the right amount. Nothing like the bagged kind from the grocery store. I also really enjoyed the three salsas that were served with the chips, each a different level of heat. The bright red one (Roja) was the mildest, while the darker red one (Diablo) was spicy, smoky, and full of deep chipotle flavour. My favourite is the creamy green salsa (Verde) which is medium in spice. The menu at Three Amigos is HUGE. It can be overwhelming to consider all of the options from starters to mains to tacos (an entire section all its own) to tortas. The best way to sample a lot of different things (especially if you're undecided) is to try the Amigo Plato (Empanada, taco dorado, tostada, gordita, chicken tinga taco, guacamole, crema, pico de gallo, refried beans, rice - $29.00), a sampler plate which consists of a surprising number of items. The food all arrived extremely quickly, and placed in front of us, this platter summed up Three Amigos in one single dish. Exciting, bursting with colours, each option enticing in its own way. I wasn't quite sure where to begin but I just started eating! The empanada, a stuffed corn pastry with chicken on the inside, was fried to a golden perfection. However, of all of the items, I did find it the least exciting. Next to the empanada was the taco dorado, a rolled fried corn tortilla stuffed with chicken and potato. The shape made it easy to eat, but again the overall flavour wasn't so interesting. Things kicked up a notch with the tostada, this crispy fried corn tortilla is topped with refried beans, braised chipotle chicken, queso fresco, avocado, and pico de gallo. I find a tostada pretty difficult to eat because as soon as you pick it up and bite it the whole thing often shatters and falls apart! But I love them anyway because you get the satisfaction of a crunchy tortilla paired with a fresh and delicious flavour combo piled high on top. The gordita might have been my favourite, a corn tortilla pressed pancake stuffed with

I was very surprised to see that it was fairly empty on a Friday night (not sure if this is the norm). Despite that they had the music going on full blast. The restaurant is fully decorated with Mexican decor. I noticed that they also had a large party room with a stage and a dance floor. I'm guessing this is used for private bookings. The service is very casual. Once you are ready to order you go up to the front to put in your order and pay. A staff member will deliver the food to your table. Although the staff were very kind and friendly, we did notice that once the food arrived, no one came by to check on us. We were never once offered a water refill nor were our empty dishes cleared even though we had long finished our meal. I ordered the fish tacos and our table got salsa and guacamole to share. The guacamole was very fresh and tasty, we all enjoyed it. The salsa was watery so we didn't enjoy it as much. The chips were delicious but a little over baked. The tacos were absolutely delicious and I would get them again. I added some of the fixings from their toppings bar which made it even better. The portions are great for the price. 4 tacos for $17! Can't beat that. We were all stuffed by the end of the night. It would be nice if you were allowed to mix flavours though like maybe 2 of each.
