My husband and I visited Marlin Restaurant for the first time today.As soon as you walk in you can see the cleanliness of the restaurant.The hostess has a pleasant and friendly attitude. She sat us down promptly and was ready to serve us. My husband asked her for recommendations. I ordered the cameron con ajo and he ordered the fish taco plate. It was amazingly DELICIOUS!We definitely will be returning.

It's not often I write a review but when I experience something deliciously prepared and authentic to the taste of the region the food is from, I am compelled to do so. I am not from Sinaloa but I've visited there many times, and the flavor of the dishes I ate at this restaurant evokes memories from my visit there. I can't wait to try their camarones aguachiles! Service was on point: our server was attentive, respectful and communicative! Ambience: clean and comfortable!

First time here at Marlins and it has great ambiance for a small establishment, great music in the back ground. We waited a while for our food but it was worth it, the Menudo I ordered was delicious one of the best I've tasted, my other family members ordered chilaquiles and huevos rancheros and they said it was also delicious to finish off our Sunday breakfast we ordered the cream filled churros and they were very good. I highly recommend this place and I will be back to taste other menu items.

So glad the usual place that I wanted to go to was closed. This is what caused me to have to look around for a new place and found this online. Now my kids have gone to the middle school near here and we frequent the shopping center across the street but have for some reason never seen this place. Coming in an hour before closing, everyone was friendly and quick to help us out. We were able to pick our own seats and were handed chips and salsa as well. I had already known what I wanted to try seeing as it was a seafood place but I also wanted to try their meat options. I opted for the shrimp enchiladas with green sauce and a carne asada sope. The star here was the enchiladas. The green sauce that they have created is so flavorful. I was given enough to mix with my rice and wow that brought it over the edge. Now the sope was nothing to write home about and the horchata was a bit too thick for me but overall the food here was good. Definitely come for those shrimp enchiladas.

The food was immaculate!!!! I ordered the caldo de camarón and my husband ordered the carne asada plate . Both were fresh but I have to say my shrimp soup (which is the caldo de camarón) was sooo authentic, the flavors complemented one after another!! The tortillas are freshly made . And our server/hostess Belen was super sweet and super helpful!! 10/10 would recommend!!!! As far as restaurant goes it was super clean and organized. The decor was so neat not over bearing, not sure about restrooms we didn't go but again 10/10.

The spot is a little hidden gem ! This Mexican restaurant has been at this location for about three years. I go down the street every single day and did not see it until I seen a sign that was in back of a truck in the parking lot so the next morning, which was today I stopped by and had some Menudo , we also ordered 2 shrimp tacos and one pancake for the kiddos ! The Menudo was really tasty tell you the honest truth probably one of the best ones I've had in a long time! The shrimp taco was super fresh, handmade, fresh corn tortillas, and they give you a big bottle of chipotle sauce so good!! my two girls had a pancake, pretty fluffy and big. I cut it up and pieces for them and they shared it. Overall, the food was delicious. The service could be a little bit better, but I think the waitress was pretty new. I was on my second bowl of chips and salsa before we got our drinks. .. The chips and salsa were perfect. They always say if the salsa is great at a Mexican restaurant, the food is gonna be better And it was !!! that's salsa was so good ! I do highly recommend you try their Horchata it is homemade not store-bought ! You could just taste the difference one of the best we've had in a long time. Thank you so much for the great food and the awesome Horchata. We will definitely be back. See you soon.! And this location is very clean and the staff was super friendly. I almost forgot to put that.

They are the best aesthetic restaurant I've ever been to. I'm from Iowa. I've lived here five years now and this is but got to be the best restaurant I've gone to and the people are very very patient and polite. Keep up the good work you guys God bless my name is Donnetta Eveland.
So we live in La Palma and wanted some real Mexican food and did not feel like driving to Anaheim. Found this place in Artesia not far and I have to say the food is delicious. We had the mixed ceviche and the carne asada and it was full of flavor and very tasty. This place is a must try. Great service too. I will be ba k soon.

Friendly service. I came for the fish and shrimp tacos. First time here and wow. Why have I never been here? Slapping myself for getting tacos elsewhere. Definitely coming back! I had a churro & cream, it was sour cream... I expected something like a vanilla cream but oddly enough the combination reminded me of a cheesecake. The sweet and tart was solid.

I've been a customer of Marlin Restaurant since they opened back in 2021.As someone who's eaten from many Mexican restaurants / joins over the years in the LA area - I have to say this place is one of the best!BEST shrimp tacos & entree plates, IMO. Plus, the chips & salsa (complimentary w/entrees) - are beyond amazing.I've met the lady owner and the head chef a few times - they're both super nice, professional, and friendly.On today's visit, I was helped by a young lady named Claudia. Very nice, professional, and great customer service.I've recommended Marlin's to anyone who's looking for a fabulous Mexican joint in the Cerritos/Artesia area. Always a pleasure, and will be back soon.Thank you so much! :)
