3 Fish Tacos
Jack B.

Very good fish tacos but light on the accompaniments. Very popular and fast service. Would have liked more sauces and toppings.

Fish and shrimp tacos

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 !!

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!

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.

Fish , shrimp , and Stingray tacos

This place is good but used to be better when they just open the restaurant. Now, I think the oil is too old and i can taste it.

Was craving Mexican food while in town and found this lively spot on Yelp. And boy am I glad I…read moredid. This place is best described as a trendy, somewhat upscale Mexican restaurant. The ambience is awesome, dimly lit with lively music bumping. Not only is the environment lively, the food and drinks are AWESOME. I sat at the self seating bar as I was dining solo. The bartender, very friendly guy, took my order. Forgot his name but he is a good looking guy, which sort of fits the upscale scene. Every table gets complimentary salsa tray which I presume has avocado salsa, verde, mocajete, and limes. The salsas were DELICIOUS. I do wish they gave some complimentary chips along with it. Everything I ordered: Carne asada burrito, substitute beans with rice - 9/10. Was very delicious especially when accompanied with the salsas. For the drinks: Oaxaca Old Fashioned - 10/10. I love old fashioneds and they nailed it here. Instead of whiskey, they use mezcal which was delicious. Agave Spritz - 10/10. Mezcal with prosecco. Fantastic. No words. The only thing I would recommend to the restaurant is including prices of the cocktails on the menu. After finishing eating I had no idea what the damage would be but it turned out to be very reasonable, $13 per cocktail. I wish I gave this place a shot earlier during my work trip, but anyhow if I am ever back in town, this is in my highly recommended list of restaurants. They also had one projector screen showing the World Cup game. They also have Happy Hour 3-6 PM. Parking is plentiful, shared with the rest of the plaza. Would I come back? You bet.

The 3 starts is a little unfair, because the place is completely incredible the music is great the…read moreambiance is amazing their waiters are print cordial savvy and bilingual... sadly my food wasn't a 4 stars or 5 stars ordered the arrachera burrito and I'm going to say it was at best a 3/5. However I went with a friend who ordered a santo chile (or something) and the plate looked delicious. Their queso fundido was the best part of my experience combined with the Tamarindo agua Fresca. Apologies did not take a picture. I will update as I want to go again before I leave town.

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.
