The food was delicious and service was great. It is a little restaurant, but it was clean and unique. The people are friendly and welcoming, their customers, read more

Authentic Mexican is hard to find especially in a small town like Marshall. You'll definitely find that type of food here. Tacos favor was good just needed more meat as they were lacking that. The complimentary chips and salsa could be improved with using fresh tortillas as the chips were stale and definitely not homemade. Would comeback in the future for the tacos and vibes read more

El Tajin Mexican Restaurant - Carne Asada taco - Mexican Near Me - Marshall, Michigan

Ordered take out for five people including entrees and appetizers. Food was "ok". Definitely not something I'd write home about. Don't bother with the Mexican corn dip. Nothing resembling Mexican corn! Liquidy. Mostly tasted like cream cheese with some tough husked corn. None of us thought our entrees were very good. The guacamole was decent although it was mostly onions and avocados. Minimal seasoning. No lime juice. No tomatoes. read more

El Tajin is one of my favorite places in Marshall. Always great service and their street tacos are amazing. I also love the fajitas and enchiladas. I'm a regular and they never let me down. read more

Got the street tacos, carnitas was excellent. Service was quick and portions were good. Would come back when I'm in town.

I have seen some reviews that note the dryness in certain foods - I do say the chicken and chips were a little dense BUT.. the delicious horchata easily helps. This is authentic, simple, Mexican cooking. It is seasoned to simple perfection. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun. The chefs and servers work hard to create a great environment for a meal. TLDR; Horchata and Enchiladas... mmm. So so bueno. Consider me una mujer feliz read more

If it were just my meal, I would have given the El Tajin five stars. My meal was fantastic! Unfortunately hubs was a bit dry in the center of his burrito. Fast service! Loved the bright decor! Didn't break the bank. This is a must go.. -Per Rita read more

I went there last night to meet a friend. We were seated for 50 mins. We received menus and chips with salsa but then no one ever came back. We even tried to get their attention as the wait staff walked by our table with their heads down ignoring us completely. There were people that came in after us that ate, enjoyed their meal, and left happy. But that was not our experience. We left laughing in disbelief and went to the Copper. The place is cute. Our table was clean. The chips and salsa were great. read more

Burrito was mostly meat and lettuce but the chicken did taste really good there just was no beans really and the queso sauce was really watery and it doesn't really taste like a burrito it's more like a big chicken taco with beans even before I added the toppings my gf got a shrimp burrito and the shrimp are really small and tasted super frozen the beans also tasted like canned beans :/ read more

El Tajin Mexican Restaurant - I got their most popular chicken Burrito El Tajin to go - Mexican Near Me - Marshall, Michigan

First of all servers need to be able to communicate in English. Ordered American tacos and could not get her to understand what the extra goodies were if you ordered them. Manager explained it was sour cream and tomatoes. Who serves tacos without tomatoes? I asked for corn and when they arrived I picked one up and it fell apart. The tortillas were cooked in oil and had no substance to them read more

Update! They just started making their tortillas by hand! Pure happiness... and they brought back their excellent horchata. 5 stars! read more

Disappointed. Recently moved to Marshall from Kalamazoo and I gave all of the Mexican restaurants a try. All of them were not good. This is my second time ordering from El Tajin and it is the second time my food was picked up messy (had refried beans all over the containers) and the corn tacos were very underwhelming. My wife's chicken fajitas hardly had any chicken in them at all, $17. My tacos had hardly any toppings on them, and the rice was dry. All 3 tacos were wrapped in this small aluminum foil (small cause the tacos did not have much in them at all) and because of this they were all soggy. This meal was just under $14... for 3 tiny soggy tacos with nothing in them and dry rice with refried beans taking up 2 slots in my 3 slot to-go container. I would request a refund, but I am tired of it and just not going to order or recommend Mexican food in Marshall. read more

Our first visit and it was amazing. From the food (street tacos and enchiladas) to the service I would recommend this restaurant to anyone! Prices are reasonable and service is top! Thanks so much we will be back! read more

Really poor service and the food tasted bland :( I was sad bc Marshall needs a great Mexican place.

This restaurant was incredible! The service was friendly and she was working hard on a crowded night. The food was amazing- the chicken in my quesadilla was seasoned perfectly and the steak in the burrito was tender. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a great meal! read more

Service and food were excellent. The food is the closest thing to real Mexican food in this area. I would highly recommend eating at this restaurant . It has traditional Mexican atmosphere and feel read more

Since I moved back to Marshall, I probably come to El Tajin three times a month. I always get the street tacos, and El Tajin tacos never miss. The wait staff is friendly and they almost always have horchata available. El Tajin is one of the few restaurants in Marshall that serves non-pub food, and it is definitely worth a visit. Pictured below are their churros! read more

Fresh ingredients and wonderful service. We had the best fried ice cream and chimichangas we have ever had! Will be back soon!! read more

Charming decor, very good food, fast service, good prices. I had 3 street tacos, on fresh corn tortillas, with small sides of rice and beans. Everything was flavorful, much better than average. The special salsa was excellent, medium spicy with some salsa verde mixed in. read more

We are regulars there and really enjoy the staff, and the food is great. The street tacos are a favorite and I really like the quesadillas that come hot and crispy. Our granddaughter always has to have the horchata and she says they have the best kids mac n cheese in town. read more

We just tried this new place recently, and it was really good. I got the burrito with shrimp which was great! I liked the customer service and will definitely be back! read more

Well, the food was pretty good, but nothing out of the ordinary- I wouldn't make a special trip for it. The service was not good, it was not busy and the food was extremely slow and not right. The waitress was not nice and acted like we were a bother with everything we asked. All in all, it's alright- need better help. read more

I ordered takeout and service was great, food came out quick, and the food tasted great! Kudos to them for opening up a small business during the pandemic. This restaurant is a great addition to downtown! read more

El Tajin is a good hometown Mexican restaurant. The service is good, the waitresses always pleasant, the dining area clean and comfortable. It's still so new I haven't tried all the dishes yet. The spicing is really tasty, food served hot and fresh in ample portions for good prices. If you haven't been by there yet, you should put this place on your to do list. If you haven't been back in awhile (as in last summer when they were figuring it all out) give them another shot. You won't be disappointed. read more
