I work in Whittier and I absolutely love small hole in the wall places like Smoothies Marilu. This one opened not too long ago and the owner is an older Hispanic lady who put her life savings into this store. I hope our Yelp community can show them some love and support this place! They serve tortas, esquite, tostilocos, and drinks, so you can get your savory and sweet craving all in one. I came with my coworkers and they loved the chicken torta and milanesa torta. The bread was nice and buttery, the vegetables were just the right amount, and the jalapenos went very well with the meat. There's a lot of torta out there but i absolutely love the one by Marilus. We shared bionicos and the fruit was fresh and sweet. I got a banana smoothie because I was feeling healthy. It had a great banana flavor - they didn't skimp out on the bananas! I hate when my smoothie feels too icy.
Parking is plentiful and sort of shared with the 711 parking lot
Value is good for what you get. The tortas and drinks are big!! read more
