I’ve been coming to Tacos Marlyn since I was a child, both here and in Mexicali, and it’s always been one of my favorite spots. The food has never disappointed me: it’s my comfort food, and I always know what I'm paying for.
But today I just had an experience that truly ruined my visit. As a female customer, I was shocked when the server who took my order asked me if I was pregnant. That is not only unprofessional, but also a very personal and inappropriate question to ask any customer. In a restaurant, I expect to enjoy my food in peace, not to be put in an uncomfortable situation by an employee’s careless comment.
I still tried to enjoy my two tostadas and fish taco (because I had decided to do so), but honestly, after that, the experience was simply not the same. Employees should be trained to understand boundaries: customers are not family or friends—we come here for good food and respectful service. Please take this feedback seriously, because while the food is delicious, respect matters just as much.

Best fish tacos in the valley. Beware of the salsa if you can’t handle spicy food.

My favorite fish & shrimp taco spot. It’s like no other. I grew up in Los Angeles where there are Mariscos & Fish/Shrimp Tacos every other lunch truck in Eastlos, but these are better than 4 Vientos spots & lunch trucks all over East Los Angeles. Must stop by if in the area.
It's my second time buying here, I wanted to give it a second chance since the first time the weathered tacos were extremely salty, today I bought it again because I was craving it and to my surprise the shrimp tacos were super salty again, you can't even enjoy the taco, the first time I thought maybe they had overdone it with the salt but this second time it was the same experience :/

Fish and shrimp tacos were burnt. Tostadas were amazing

Very old ceviche, the vegetables are all wilted and sour... the fish tacos are all salty and the shrimp tacos are overcooked, all oily, first and last time I buy here... nothing to do with the taqueria they have in Mexicali there, they are very good
