I love El Taco Express so much & we eat there often. Often enough to know this isn’t their queso or their chips. The chips are store bought corn chips and their cheese taste like Totinos cheese dip. This only happens in the night shift and it’s a bummer bc it takes the authentic out of El taco

This place was incredible! Food came out incredibly fast. We got a chicken quesadilla and a veggie burrito. Both were delicious. And the red and green salsas were so good! The server was really nice, too. Will definitely come back if we’re going through the area. Highly recommend

Having high standards for Mexican food from my border town upbringing (I could smell the carne asada from home!), I decided to test El Taco Express with a to-go order. I’m thrilled to report that this place immediately took me back to my Baja California-style roots—and that authenticity survived the trip home perfectly. This isn’t just good taco shop food; it’s a nostalgic experience that travels well.
The star of the show is undeniably the trifecta of perfection: the lengua, the carne asada, and the chicken tacos. The lengua is fork-tender, richly flavored, and prepared exactly how it should be—absolutely melting in your mouth. The carne asada is smoky, perfectly seasoned, and chopped, not shredded, giving it that authentic street taco bite. Even the chicken tacos are a standout, moist, and perfectly grilled.

I recently visited El Taco Express in Marion and ordered a variety of tacos: Carne Asada y Chorizo, Al Pastor, and Birria, each loaded with onion, cilantro, queso, and avocado. I paired it all with a refreshing Horchata.
The Birria taco was hands down my favorite—it packed a lot of flavor! The Al Pastor taco was a close second, and all the extra toppings were fresh and perfectly complemented the tacos. The portion sizes were generous.
While the initial service was a bit slow, likely due to only one server on duty, the restaurant was clean, and once I ordered, the food came out quickly.
The chips were tasty, though I noticed they provide bottled salsa rather than a dipping option. I didn’t mind, but it might not be for everyone.
Overall, this place is a gem in Marion. The tacos were delicious and affordable—maybe not the very best I’ve ever had, but definitely worth a visit for quality, authentic tacos. Highly recommend! ✌️

The steak burrito with extra meet was phenomenal. My son had the arroz con pollo and said it was one of the best he’s ever had. This place is a must stop place. If I drive through here again I’m stopping.

Very friendly Staff speaks better English than i do and food was very good. I had steak tacos and my wife had Arroyos con pollo. Chips and Queso are better than any restaurant around.
