    Asada tacos
    Ron L.

    Oooooh man... Craving tacos. You know tacos tacos tacos We all were wanting some nice delicious tacos. Well, not expecting much from a hole in the wall type place, we came upon this place. The asada tacos... delicious. Fish tacos... Were good. Salsa... mmmmmm...

    Asada torta :)

    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

    Lengua burrito with some avocado salsa on the side.
    Steve R.

    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.

    Chicken nachos

    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

    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.

    The chili relleno plate
    Selena D.

    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.

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

Their hand made tortillas are delicious and come out piping hot. When I saw the plate, I assumed that it would be a 5 star meal. Everything looked so perfect. I've actually had to give it some thought and concluded that I would have to rate it 4 stars because of how chewy the meat was. I found myself having to work very hard to finish the last few bites. The asada was medium rare and that might be undercooked for a cut like skirt steak. I'll be back to try their ribeye, which would be perfect medium rare.

The margaritas were honestly some of the worst we've had -- they tasted like straight margarita mix blended with ice, and we could barely drink them. The enchiladas were also very underwhelming, especially for the price. It was basically shredded chicken in tortillas with sauce, rice, and beans, and for $20 it just wasn't worth it. The food tasted very Americanized and lacked authentic Mexican flavor and seasoning. That being said, the customer service was amazing. The two ladies who helped us were incredibly attentive, kind, and kept checking on us. They offered extra drinks and multiple items, which we normally appreciate because when we go to Mexican restaurants we usually order multiple rounds and end with Cadillac margaritas. Unfortunately, the drinks were so bad we didn't want to order anything else, but their effort and service did not go unnoticed. One small disappointment was when I asked for hot sauce to add more flavor to my green sauce enchiladas, and I was brought the same red enchilada sauce instead, which made the meal worse. I am a food and beverage manager myself, and I can honestly say I would hire those two servers in a heartbeat because they were fabulous. The service was excellent -- it's just the food and drinks that really need improvement.

Employees were very friendly, polite, hard-working, and engaging. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the "Martha Salad" while my wife had the Pozole Verde. Both were delicious, perfectly made, very tasty, and filling. The chips and salsa were so good that we ordered a second serving, which is rare for us. We plan to invite family and friends in the very near future so that we can reserve the private group area and have our own party :)

After finishing the survey, I received a confirmation email for the dessert. When I showed the digital confirmation to our waitress, she had to get an approval from Alex the manager. Alex asked to see my phone to "prove" the receipt, then told the waitress the offer was actually meant for graduates only. Nowhere on the survey, the confirmation email, or any promotional material I saw was this graduate restriction mentioned. If I had known, I wouldn't have spent time filling out the survey. To make matters worse, I frequent this restaurant and have noticed that It Alex never visits any of the tables to check on customers. But he has no problem sitting with his family as though he owns the place. Offering a reward for completing a survey, then adding restrictions only after a customer tries to redeem it, feels misleading. A simple heads-up in the survey would have saved everyone time and frustration. I frequent this restaurant weekly and spend well over $100.00 on breakfast for both me and my wife we enjoy the food and the service we receive from the team but since Alex never visits any tables or customers while I'm there for Alex to question his own company's promotion I feel Alex should do his due diligence and know what his company his promoting. Thank you to the staff is why we frequent this establishment. Alex please do better. Thank you. David
