    Fish and shrimp tacos
    Eda X.

    Tacos Marlyn El Centro is very convenient and inexpensive for a lunch stop. Many locals come here regularly. Try their shrimp, fish and stingray tacos! I love that they leave out tubs of salsa, cabbage, and a plethora of accompaniment of sauces.

    So fresh , tasty , delicious and well portioned. Quick fast service, nice ambiance !!

    Delicious fresh seafood, nice ambiance !! Friendly service. Ordered a fish taco and shrimp tostada!!! Sooo good and refreshing !!

    Fish tacos and Tostiaguchiles

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Today I returned to the wonderful D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer in El Centro where my epic hiking…read moreexpedition ended in failure, disappointment, and embarrassment a few weeks ago. I intended to travel the entire 2,600-mile length of the Pacific Crest Trail, but my adventure unceremoniously ended in El Centro under a tree about 60 miles east of my starting point. The paramedics told me that hiking is not for everyone. After a desperate two weeks of hiking with little food and water through BLM land tracks, old service roads, and desert washes, as best I can recall, I finally set up camp in El Centro under a farmer's tree near his washing line. Soon after the farmer called the police about my campfire, the authorities and my ex-wife found me in a state of delerium hosting a tea party under a large avocado tree wearing the farmer's wife's plus size nightgown while serving "cups of chai tea" to a sizable pile of rotten avocados and a rusty shovel that I thought was "Jan" from those Toyota commercials. My first real meal after being found by the authorities and my ex-wife was at D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer. D'Poly was the perfect welcome back to civilization as it has a spectacular menu full of delicious Mexican cuisine like street tacos, flautas, sopes and empanadas. The Lineman burrito is my absolute favorite. And they have a wonderful breakfast menu! It's fast casual dining, but it has a sort of classic and moody vibe that gives off a more upscale feel. Love it! A wonderful place to break free of your delusions. My ex-wife tried to tell me that hiking is not for everyone. Thankfully, the paramedics found my emergency contact list and phoned my ex-wife who showed up and broke me out of my stupor by making me drop my emotional support avocado, taking me by the shoulders and shaking me vigorously while yelling "it's over, it's over!" Ironically, that was the same way she told me we were getting divorced. I'm not a quitter, so it takes a while for me to give up. I've since tried many items on the D'Poly menu and everything is exceptional, though I do avoid adding avocado. It's just too soon. Thank you D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer! Five stars.

Friday's special was 2 tacos Dorado rice and beans, or an asada quesadilla with a side of consome for 12.99. You are recieved with complementary chips and salsa which were delicious! I am looking forward to visiting again before I head back home.

    Don't you just love it when a restaurant gets things right?…read more Owners Roberto and Rina ("Reina") Perez have figured out how to prepare and present home cooking in a commercial setting, and, in doing so, have shown that they understand the importance of "home" in that construct. Some of this is no surprise to me. Reina is cousin to Rodnia Attiq (nee Navarro), who, with her mother Rosario Sotelo owned San Diego's El Borrego for almost 25 years, until they closed their business at the end of 2025. Having been welcomed and fed many times with homely care at El Borrego, I'm not surprised that the family connection - and the warmth and hospitality included in it - extends to Cousin Reina. If you're having a bad day, it's worth dropping in for a bite to eat just so you can say "hi" to her. Between the food and the greeting you'll receive, you'll leave feeling better about things. So what to eat? Depending on the time of day and how hungry you are, you'll be pleased with Cazuelitas; Pozole Rojo or the herby Guerrero-style Pozole Verde; hearty Tlacoyos; large Enchilada plates; or probably my favorite Mexican dish, Mixiote de Borrego, which is lamb that's spiced, marinated and slow-steamed until it falls off the bone. I've eated most of those things and seen the rest on my fellow diners' tables. Especially now that El Borrego is gone, if El Centro wasn't a two-hour drive from my house, I'd be a regular, so that I could continue sampling the superb and wide-ranging menu at Antojito Como En Casa.
