About
Introducing Marlen's Taco Shop, a beloved Mexican restaurant located at 8921 Jamacha Rd in Spring Valley, CA. Marlen's offers a plethora of amenities including delivery, takeout, reservations, and wheelchair accessibility. With a wide range of vegetarian options, this casual and quiet eatery is perfect for groups, kids, and both lunch and dinner outings. The restaurant even provides outdoor seating, Wi-Fi, and waiter service.
My experience at Marlen's Taco Shop was nothing short of delightful. The Birria de Chivo was a standout dish, bursting with flavor and tender meat. The tortas were a perfect balance of bread and filling, and the street tacos were a true taste of authentic Mexican cuisine.
Overall, Marlen's Taco Shop is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious Mexican food in a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you dine in, order delivery, or takeout, you're sure to be impressed by the quality and care put into each dish. I highly recommend giving Marlen's a try and indulging in their mouthwatering menu offerings.
“ I have been looking for Birria made with goat or lamb and a friend recommended Marlens. I was not disappointed!! Their Birria de Chivo is so delicious!! Fabulous!! ”
“ So my gf wanted breakfast so after searching for some options we settled on this spot. It's a fact that a mom and pop hole in the wall spot is guaranteed to have great food, and this place delivered. I got the food to go, it was prepared quickly, and we dived right in after I got home. My torta was delicious. The bread was the right consistency and the meat was tender and flavorful. My gf got menudo and tacos and those were the bomb as well. We will definitely be back and might order online the next time. ”

“ I've ordered delivery from here on and off since I moved to Spring Valley in 2018, about 20+ times so far. And they've only gotten better! First, they call to confirm any of my weird instructions which I appreciate. Second, the food has ALWAYS arrived still hot and fresh for me. Any fault in being cold is on the driver, but they are very close to me so that hasn't happened to me often so far. I'm a busy working mom, and this shop seems to be a mom and daughter operation and it SHOWS. They care about each other and their shop. The 2nd delivery person I had (male, middle age, white) told me that I should know the place looked super ghetto as he handed me my food. Uh, excuse me, I grew up in west National City and the hole in the wall mom and pop shops are the best so no thank you to your "advice". I've ordered burritos, street tacos, and combo plates and haven't been disappointed. I see other reviews have been unhappy but all I can say is that I've never experienced that myself. One of my favorites is their carne asada burritos have crispy fries every time! And the adobada street tacos are delicious. They've also recently upgraded their to-go/delivery containers so it arrives with no spills (like enchilada sauce). Give Marlens a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed. ”
“ Good Mexican food. Just found this place and we will definitely be back. Food was prepared just right and looked and tasted great. I'm hooked. ”
“ One of my favorite taco shops, I usually order the adobada street tacos or the carne asada fries, both are . Prices are good and portions are huge, I was craving a burger and was curious to try one from the taco shop, I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger and fries... it was a huge burger that can easily feed two people. Highly recommend you try it, one of the best burgers I ever had. ”
