Marino's Tacos has been in my list for a while. Finally, I went there! The restaurant is spacious and clean. It has cozy vibes. They have many delicious tacos and dishes in their menu. The staff were very welcoming. I ordered various tacos to try everything possible. - Asada tacos ($2.49 each) - Pastor tacos ($2.49 each) - Pollo tacos ( $ 2.99 each) -Lengua tacos ($ 2.99 each) - Cabezas tacos ($2.99 each) - Camaron tacos ( $ 3.99 each) -2 lengua burritos ( $12.50 each) Honestly, their tacos are the BEST! It was aurhentic, very flavorful, juicy, well marinated, in fresh tortillas. They asked me if I wanted salsa Verde and Rojo. Since I like salsa verde, they gave me generous amount. Their salsa were magnificent. Their lengua burritos were intensely savory, juicy and really melted in the mouth. The service was excellent. They wrapped each type of tacos separately. My family and I enjoyed our meal. Definitely, I will be back. read more

My daughter is picky with her food but will always eat Marino's. I've been coming for a few years now and will continue to do so. read more

Called to pick up tacos here for lunch and everything was done in a few minutes. Wish they would let you know that they charge $1 for using your credit card, so don't forget to bring cash. Got the pollo and carne asada tacos. Everything was so tasty. I love that they really do not skimp out on the meat and onions. It was packed! read more

It's not horrible.. it's not great, it is mediocre.. had three tacos.. and my whole review revolves around three tacos and three taquitos.. which my wife really liked.. I had an al pastor taco it was again not great not bad.. flavor was ok... Then a carne asada taco.. bit dry, but crispy, a bit under seasoned... Then a pollo taco.. my least favorite... I came to try their tacos mainly due to pictures of the salsa bar.. they had avacado and habanero salsa.. well to my disappointment.. the salsa bar was gone... They offered a green and a red.. both has good flavor .. but not what I wanted.. I will not be returning read more

The quality of the meat is so good! Very tasty and the tacos aren't as oily as the ones from King Taco. Also I should add they are well served in double tortilla. Salsas are spot on! Of course they always provide great customer service! read more

Customer service was okay. Cashier had a RBF the entire time. Loved the asada torta and salsa verde. Food and coke bottle was on point. Kinda pricey $16 for a avg size sandwich and coke. Wouldn't come back. AC wasn't on, but they had some tables outside and health dept rated them a B. There's better places & prices nearby. Good luck to the thO! read more

The tacos here are very good. I especially enjoyed the carne asada. The meat was tasty and juicy. The staff was friendly and clean. The interior of the restaurant could use a bit of a refresh. We will be back for sure! read more

Soooo good! Only have gotten tortas from here & they keep me coming back! Sooo delicious. Their asada is great. Salsas are bomb too. Friendly service as well. Need to try tacos soon. Support small business read more

Marino's Tacos - Asada torta :) - Mexican Near Me - Irwindale, California

No one greets you. Girl up front took my order and proceeded to make my food without washing her hands. She also was messing with her hair and touching her face and mask toward the back of the store, I'm sure she thought I didn't see her . She grabbed a tortilla with her bare hands which she didn't wash her hands. The ceiling in this place is black caked on dirt and grease that could start a fire! I wouldn't even try this place! read more

Gave this place a try for the first time today for lunch. I had a lengua(beef tongue) burrito that comes with beans and rice inside. It was a good size burrito with a nice amount of the chopped meat inside. I added some of their avocado salsa to mine to give it a little more heat and flavor. The cost was seven dollars and change without a drink so not to costly. read more

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt in regards to their quality since I didn't actually try their food. But just by walking in (with no greeting) and seeing how filthy the place looked I was super turned off and went to farmer boys instead. They mop was just chillin in the walkway and nothing looked like it had been cleaned since the day they opened for business. I'm sorry but it's a NO for me! read more

Marino's has amazing customer service. I've never had an issue with ordering or quality of food. They treat you like family. I've recommended to all my friends who live in the area and at work. Definitely gained a customer for life with me. Thank you for you quality food and service. read more

Thee best tripa and bean burrito ever!! Tripas were nice and crispy and the frijoles del olla were bomb! Salsa was delicious (red and green)! Very tasty!! read more

Chicken nachos! So delicious! I was impressed with the amount of meat was on there. Everything tastes so good.. it was not my first time there and can't wait to get back!! Thank you Marino's Tacos read more

Marino's Tacos is located on Arrow Hwy, one block west of Irwindale Ave in a small strip plaza next to Farmer Boys, Jimmy John's, teriyaki and poke restaurants. At first glance, it seems like any of the other countless taco places in the area. I have driven by many times and have even stopped at Farmer Boys and the teriyaki place without giving Marino's a glance, but after finding out that they serve cochinita pibil (which is a pork dish similar to carnitas), I decided to try it out. They have a variety of choices from tacos, burritos, tortas, sopes, plates, taquitos with various meats (carne asada, pibil, carnitas, chicken, fish and shrimp). I decided to order their tacos on my first visit, two carne asada tacos ($1.49 each) and two cochinita pibil tacos ($1.99 each). The tacos were on a regular-sized corn tortilla, however, they pile on the meat; all four were overflowing. The asada was very tender and delicious, and the pibil was also tender and it was pretty close to an authentic cochinita pibil that you get in Yucatan. The prices were very reasonable; I believe their burritos are between $6 and $7.50. Overall, great tacos, fair prices and friendly and efficient service. I am going to give this place my business as much as I can so that they can stay open and I can get my pibil fix. read more

Love! Love! Marino's tacos they have really good authentic Mexican food. If you like tripitas this is the spot to go to 10/10 for me always. Also try the taquitos dorados and the asada tacos read more

No more Cochinita Pibil but the Carnitas is good as well as their excellent guacamole salsa and red sauce with sufficient heat.

What I ordered: chili relleno plate & tried the mild, green, and avocado salsas When I got there, I somehow missed the daily specials board that was outside the door and the one that was inside behind the counter.... So looking at the menu, my first reaction was "wow, there are no taco plates..." Knowing I wanted rice and beans, I opted for the chili relleno plate because there were only three option for plates (and enchiladas was not one of them). But I like chili rellenos so I figured I'd give it a try. After ordering, since my food was taking a while (which I assumed meant they were making it fresh of course), I noticed then that there was a taco plate option on the daily specials. When I got home and opened my container, to my surprise there were TWO chili rellenos. I was happy to see that because the plate was on the expensive side for a small hole in the wall place, and it also meant I could save some for later since it was way too much food. However the containers they used for to-go orders, the pockets for rice and beans seemed smaller than other places. Maybe it was just my imagination, or the fact that the beans were really good and I wanted more... So onto the taste. I already mentioned the beans were really good. The rice was also good; above average but not anything I'd jump up and cheer for. The rellenos could use a little more sauce. Also, the cheese was not fully melted. But there was also probably a pound of cheese in each relleno so I'm kind of not surprised the heat didn't get all the way through to the center. But if you're going to put that much cheese in there, you need to get it hot enough to melt it all. The salsa was really good. It had more heat than I'm used to, but it was great! The avocado salsa had a little kick. The mild also had a little kick that you don't usually find in a mild. The green was my least favorite of the three I tried but it was ok. Overall, I am excited to go back and try the tacos and I wouldn't be surprised if they got more stars from me after that. Had I known about the taco plate special, I would have gotten that in the first place. My disappointment in my food was likely my own fault for ordering a relleno at a taco place....until next time, 2 stars. read more

My first time eating at this place. The first thing you can smell when you walk in is the asada cooking on the grill. I ordered Asada Burrito and Asada Torta. This was my first time eating a torta. The torta had really crispy lettuce when you bite into the sandwich. The beef is cooked with lots of flavor on both the torta and the burrito. The salsas were on point as well. The red is spicy but not to the point where it burns your mouth. The green salsa has a kick to it with cilantro and onions. The portion sizes on both the burrito and the torta was a good size. Not too much and not too small. I'd come back here and have to try other menu items. read more

Marino's Tacos - Asada Burrito and Asada Torta with verde and roja salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Irwindale, California

This place has some absolutely. Delicious food. Everything tasted so fresh and was made right then and there. Me and my girl has some fish tacos, torta de milanesas, and tacos de asada and it was all great the fish in the fish taco was kinda small but had great flavor would definitely get again. Milanesas torta was packed with meat and the asada tacos were so good fresh flavorful and they have some amazing salsas the avocado one was my favorite My only negative comment would be that the lady at the register didn't greet us when we went inside or say anything really while we ordered or really looked at us. Also it was hot inside no a/c so we went outside and the lady didn't bring the food out to us instead came outside to tell us it was ready which isn't a big deal or anything that's just me but the food definitely made up for it and would definitely go back read more

New place and pretty good Tacos. Tried a little bit of everything... Asada, Pastor, Pollo, and Lengua. Second time back and second time was even better. Love the taste of street tacos at a restaurant! You guys won't be disappointed. read more

Marino's Tacos - Just opened!! - Mexican Near Me - Irwindale, California

Highly disappointed in this restaurant, had lunch today and it was a horrible burrito. To begin with, they gave me the wrong burrito and charged $15 which included a $1.50 charge for me using my credit card and did not include a drink. The quality of meat they use is very poor. I am definitely not going back to patronize this restaurant. I DO NOT recommend!!! read more

I ordered a few different tacos and a quesadilla, got my order quickly and was satisfied. Nothing super special but it's worth a visit for a quick Mexican food fix. read more

literally so bomb, family owned, always super nice, and literally best sopes i've ever head. 10/10 would reccomend

Excellent tacos and even better carne Asada fries. Lunch rush is always busy but worth the wait.

If you're looking for fresh, homemade Mexican food, this is the spot. Luis is at the grill ready to make your "to order" exactly as you like it. Their meat is seasoned nicely, their beans are tasty and their habanero salsa is off the charts delicious! This is no fancy restaurant, you order n pick up at the counter, but it's clean and spacious. Their Jarrittos are ice cold, perfect way to finish off your meal. read more

Me and my coworkers were craving Mexican food so we came to Marino's for some Tacos. On a negative note the customer service was horrible. The girl that took my order I believe her name was Jocelyn was really short and wasn't fully listening I had to repeat myself multiple time. Not once did she greet me nor did she make any eye contact. My coworker had to go ask for her own drink cuz it was sitting on the side for almost 10 min. Once I did get my food it was actually really tasty. It's a must go for the food but beware of bad service! read more

I live nearby and this is by far the best taco spot around. I come here regularly when I'm trying to get my Mexican food fix. The meat is the best, very well flavored and not too fatty or chewy. Would recommend! read more

Asada burrito was flavorful and they adjusted the onion/cilantro mix to my request. Salsas had good heat! Priced right too.

I drive 40 miles to come here to get their burritos. The best Asada burrito you can ask for! The service is so wonderful, nice family oriented restaurant. He won't be disappointed. Please give them a try! read more

Small portions very average . The fish taco is some frozen wwerid Patty yrhey chop up. You can probably randomly go-to another Mexican spot nearby and do better than here . Also very cheap with napkins and salsa read more

Marinos has very good tacos. There salsa bar is probably the best I have had. Horchata is fresh. It would be cool if they were a little more generous with the salsa, although they will give you extra if you ask. Overall this place is really good and worth full stars. read more

I'm Mexican and super picky about my Mexican food. This place is the real deal. Super authentic and affordable. Everything was yummy...the horchata, salsas, rice..beans. Give it a go!!! read more

this is a very new place - less than 9 months old. I have been here about 6 times and it keeps getting better and better. the lunch specials are very good priced and the place is clean. Tables are a bit small, so not comfortable for 4 adults. I always try the Tacos Al Pastor at places to judge how well the rest of the food is, and its fantastic. Everything is very good too. Carne asada Tacos are always another indicator - the bad places dry it out, and have grissly pieces in there, not this place. I will definitely keep coming back! read more

Asked for al pastor burrito i literally had literally a pinch of meat it was just rice and beans

Torta cubana and asada tacos are a must. The green salsa is also fire. The asada here definitely beats the bufadoras from down the street. read more
