Easily the best fish tacos or tostadas in the entire Imperial Valley! No hesitation in even saying that. Super fast and easy to order too. Plenty of topping I recommend the cebollas curtidas with the house made red salsa but be warned, it has a major spice kick. Personally I love that! Plenty of seating too. read more

Tried the seafood tacos and tostadas, everything was solid! I got the fish taco, a stingray taco (texture's just like fish) and two tostadas: one with fish & shrimp and another mango habanero. All were good, but the fish taco was definitely the standout for me. Super fresh and flavorful. Will be back to try more! read more

Located just off the freeway on a Main Street in town. Plenty of parking in a small strip mall. Simple basic menu and fair pricing. Plenty of seating inside. The tacos come out plain and the salsa condiment bar has plenty of topping and sauce to satisfy the most picky eater. The tacos are fresh, hot and extraordinary. Staff was friendly and food came out fast. I would love to go back when I'm in the area. Thank you for the great food and service. read more

A friend referred this place to me a couple of years ago when I was traveling back from AZ. I've been here 3 times now and all I can say is... LOVE IT!!! The fish tacos are some of the best I've had in a long time. The batter is just enough for the crunch but doesn't over power the fish. Their ceviche is the bomb! If you go, you must try the fish ceviche. Really good. For those of you who travel back and forth from California to Arizona, put this place in as a stop for food. You won't regret it. read more

I found just what I was looking for: 1 Tostada de Shrimp Ceviche; 1 Fish Taco; and 1 Shrimp Taco. If you want Avacado, you have to request it (small upcharge). Fresh food, very casual atmosphere, great counter service, fast turn around and excellent flavor. Don't expect combo meals - Marilyn is not really into Rice & Beans....Use that tummy space for another Taco instead! read more

Tacos Marlyn El Centro - Front entrance - Seafood Near Me - El Centro, California

A little hole in the wall but the food was good. I only wish the shrimp and fish weren't so heavily battered but if you love batter, you will love it. I ordered shrimp & fish tacos, the flavor was really good. The self serve condiment bar is perfect so you can choose how much of each condiment you like. My husband ordered a aguachile tostada, it was very spicy and he loved it. read more

Food, service, and ambiance is great. Food always hits EVERYTIME. I love that i get to customize my fish tacos or my aguachiles to my liking. Underrated sea food place. Very affordable. Need i mention it's the coldest place in the valley? So it's a great place to cool down with fresh yummy food. read more

It was ok. Honestly, I expected more as far as the quality of the food. The service was weird. They asked how many people were eating, and then they wanted to know precisely who was ordering what. Like, does it matter? Make one big order to go, and we'll figure it out. Food inflation is out of control; the prices were still high, food was like a 2 out of 5, the service was like a 1. Too bad I won't be returning read more

I had my wallet stolen here while waiting for an order and when I called in the employees were extremely unhelpful. Someone reached into my backpack and took it, I have no clue whether it was an employee or someone eating there. Even though I've enjoyed the tacos here in the past I'm not going back. Me robaron la cartera aquí cuando esperaba mi orden y cuando hablé los trabajadores me ignoraron completamente. Es imposible saber si fue un trabajador o alguien que comí ahí. Me gustaban los tacos aquí pero nunca voy a volver. read more

Had fish tacos and mango habanero aguachiles it was the best I've ever had. Service was swift, pleasant and pricing was reasonable. It's a must try! read more

One of my co workers said this restaurant was amazing , so he brought me here. We are working out of town here in el centro. The food was really good. It's nothing but sea food and the food is 100 authentic. I ordered 4 tacos. 2 shrimp , 1 fish , and one sting ray. Yes I said sting ray lol I didn't know stingray was a thing but it was delicious. They sell sodas and beer here too. The salsas are great and spicy. Definitely if you are in the area stop by. read more

Tacos Marlyn El Centro - Fish , shrimp , and Stingray tacos - Seafood Near Me - El Centro, California

This is my favorite restaurant in El Centro. The fish tacos and shrimp tostadas are delicious. They're perfectly made and they have marvelous condiments. Their pico de gallo is the best. They have a giant bowl of sliced onions and I don't know how they make them so good, but they do. They have a habanero sauce that is one of the best I've ever had. read more

Great tacos, good price, friendly service, and near the freeway. Found this in Google maps as we were passing through El Centro

I had the ceviche and a stingray taco, both are gluten free! The other options are battered and then fried, so I cannot have them. But the ceviche was top notch, so delicious! And the stingray is well cooked with lots of flavor and spice! The lady who took my order was kind and thoughtful, offering a sample of anything to ensure that I might like it. I will be coming back, for sure! So yummy!!! read more

The price was cheap but the food was okay. I would not go out of my way to eat here.

This place is bomb & the price isn't bad. The only bad thing about it is I hate when shrimp isn't properly deveined. I don't get shrimp here. Everything else is delicious. It isn't a sit for a while kind of restaurant. You're ordering at the counter and hitting up the salsa bar kinda place. The red salsa is really hot fyi. read more

Wow! You definitely must try this spot, a great stop for your way to or out of Mexico. They only have three kinds of tacos: fish, shrimp and stingray. I never had stingray before, it is a different taste like a piquant taste, would recommend giving it shot. All three tacos was absolutely savory! read more

So went to Mexico and a friend said they always stop here for Seafood tacos so I had to give it a shot ESPECIALLY cause they have Stingray tacos! ======== LOCATION ======== Not too small. About 10-12 tables which seat 4-5 comfortably. A counter where you order and a salsa/topping bar with a lot of options and sauces. ======== THE FOOD ======== ~ STINGRAY TACO - First time eating sting ray. I didn't even know it was edible. It was very strange. Kind've briny, very oceanic. The texture was interesting, a little tougher than most seafood. It left me perplexed but I kind've liked it. (4/5) ~ FISH TACO - So the battered breading was really thick. I was able to taste some of the fish through it and it was okay. (3/5) ~ SHRIMP TACO - Honestly the breading was so thick I could BARELY tell it was shrimp. AllThe fish one was better. (2/5) ============== FINAL THOUGHTS ============== A little pricey for what you get. Especially for a border town. I'd come back for the Stingray. Prices have gone up a lot in the past year according to my friend. Used to be $1.50. The Shrimp taco was $3.29, the Stingray and Fish were $2.29 and both tasted better. Skip the shrimp. Last off they had a few sauces and cremas in squirt bottles which I love. read more

The best fish tacos in el centro! Every time I go visit I always make sure to stop by and eat some fish tacos.

A friend of mine who is working in town for a bit found this small, strip mall taco site that basically has three choices for seafood tacos: fish, shrimp, & manta ray. Once I got past the minimalist menu, picnic bench seating, and room temperature accoutrement to dress your tacos...I was in heaven. Three tacos were plenty, but I wished I had a second stomach to eat more. Might stop by just to get a few on my way home (hungry or not)! read more

Tacos Marlyn El Centro - Fish Ceviche, Fish Taco, Shrimp Taco - Seafood Near Me - El Centro, California

Novel fish/shrimp tacos breaded and deep fried. I was expecting some sort of sauce on the tacos I ordered to go, but they probably keep them separate so it doesn't get soggy wrapped up in the foil wrap. I threw out the condiments as I didn't realize they weren't additions, but rather the necessary items for the inside of the tacos! My order came out fast and the girl working at the counter was friendly. I'd come back and try something else that others recommend and definitely need to try the tacos again with the necessary parts that go in the middle! read more

The FOOD IS VERY GOOD HERE. Everything looks and tastes fresh. It is the Innout of seafood tacos. Simple menu. Why not 5 stars? Well, it is a small crowded place. THERE ARE NO FORKS AVAILABLE ON SIGHT. Maybe you can ask for one, but don't expect forks. I wish the jamaica had an option to get a bigger size. AND YES I WILL BE BACK. BEST SHRIMP TACOS AT IMPERIAL COUNTY. Careful on the red salsa on the bowl, it is concentrated spicy. read more

Food was amazing. Got three fish tacos with all the fixings for 9 bucks,and they were pretty honking sized tacos too. The white sauce was great and veggies were fresh. Wish they had horchata but beyond that it was amazing. I am stuck in el Centro for work and this town sucks but this spot is it's shining beacon forsure. read more

These fish tacos are wonderful!!! Super authentic Baja tacos which I crave but can hardly find! This is my new favorite place when finding food between Phoenix & San Diego. Don't be put off by the modest strip mall location. Go inside because you will love the cold bottled cervezas, fresh ingredients & self-serve condiments -- dress that taco the way it deserves! -- including spicy salsas, onions, limes, cabbage & stellar Baja "pink" sauce! Enjoy! read more
