Marcelino’s is hands down one of my favorite taco spots! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made just right. My absolute go-to taco is the egg, papa, ranchera, bacon, and cheese—it’s perfectly seasoned, filling, and packed with amazing flavor every time.
The service is friendly, the portions are generous, and the food never disappoints. If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Mexican tacos, Marcelino’s is a must-try!

Excellent tacos in a cozy, welcoming corner building with a short menu that still provides so many options. You can pick the ingredients for your tacos from a long list of veggies and meats. On first visit I enjoyed most the smoked Elgin sausage and the incredible papa ranchera (French fries with salsa). I look forward to trying more combinations! They have a few tables and counter seats inside. Outside there is a small free parking lot supplemented by free street parking.
A review I read, probably from do512: At Marcelino’s on the East Side, the tacos are scoop-and-serve—made assembly-line right in front of you. But Marcelino’s is so consistently busy that they’re hustling and preparing food non-stop. You can get a basic bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast taco, and it’ll be far superior to most you can get around town—but Marcellino’s system allows them to have many more options that you don’t see often, like repollo asado (grilled cabbage), calabacitas (squash), rajas (poblanos in cream), smoked Elgin sausage, and the incredible papa ranchera (French fries tossed in salsas). We think about the papa ranchera a lot. Also, at Marcelino’s, the cheese isn’t grated—they peel a slice off of a huge stack and slap it onto a warmed tortilla, where it immediately melts

I'm disappointed in this business not having a phone number to reach out to them. I ordered 2 tacos since this was my first time there. I ordered a beef tip taco with gravy it was pretty bland but salt, pepper, and plenty of lime juice made it bearable. Then my second taco was a pork chop taco with rice and beans on the inside. The pork chop was over cooked and dried out with no type of seasoning. After I added salt, pepper, and lime I began to eat the taco. By bite three I knew something was wrong! My stomach instantly bloated, began belching uncontrollably and vomiting for over an hour. I have called the specialty EMS to my home for an IV to keep from dehydrating. Hopefully I won't have to go to the ER. Before calling the EMT I tried, zofran (3), zantac (2), pickle juice, and mints(6). Nothing is settling my stomach. I can't even get in touch with the restaurant to let them know that something isn't right with the food. I was hoping for so much more because after doctoring the beef tip taco I really enjoyed it. But I honestly don't enjoy the after effects. I feel horrible!!
