It's our first time eating at Marlen's Taco Shop in Spring Valley CA & all the food we ordered was the bomb. They tasted so good I wanted to lick all the sauce of the container. I ate it without the hot sauce. Yummy, yummy, yummy! 😋

The people working there made me feel very comfortable although the place isn’t very big. But the food was good and there’s entertainment while you enjoy your meal.

I don't usually come to this area, but today, I drove nearby and started to crave a taco, so I went to the Marlen Taco Shop. They suggested watermelon juice, and I ordered Carne asada and Cabeza tacos. I enjoyed the juice and the tacos.
