So I am going to be honest this place doesn't look like a place that is going to have some super good food. But you should not judge that. Because this place has amazing food. I was blown away by my sopa's they call them something else and my wife says the malitas are amazing as well. I can't wait to come back and try more of the food here. For real this place is good enough to make a trip from Albany weekly!! If you want amazing Mexican food this is a must try in Salem.

One of my favorite places in Salem. The food is reasonably priced and really good for what you're paying for. Fish Burrito - Pretty decent. Not the best that I've ever had but if you're craving a fish burrito this would do the trick Fish Tacos - SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE BURRITO! The fish is nice and crispy and tastes amazing with the salsa they give you. Usually this is my go to order when I eat here. Carne Asada Fries - I love that their fries are on the skinnier side because it makes it super crispy. I would definitely recommend this! I have yet to try anything else on the menu because I honestly only come here for the fish tacos but if I ever come back, I would definitely try the other items on the menu.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I got here... Our local guide (My friend's cousin) was raving about this place. She said Marco's had the best tacos on Salem. I wouldn't know, never been to Salem before... so I took her word for it. Good news! She was not wrong at all...well Marco's is the only spot I had tacos in Salem...lol. Marco's sells legit some tacos. The tacos here do remind me of the street tacos in Mexico. While not as good as the Tacos in Mexico, these are certainly tasty. I got 4 Tacos, each with different meat, none of them were disappointing. My only regret was forgetting to take a pic of the Tacos...such a bad Yelper! I was a wee bit houngary... If I'm in the area again, I'll gladly return and get more Tacos or try some other things on the menu...

The venue is authentic street tacos and food, so it's based on price and what I expect from a mom n pop taco shop from California--maybe not perfectly Mexican. It was all that, especially for the price. Maybe this is what is the norm in Salem, I can't say. But it was more than I expected. My wife got bean tacos and a burrito to bring home. There was something about it she didn't like. She suspected the beans were cooked in lard which makes sense, but she asked for "vegetarian" and thought there was a shared language. Many folks think vegetarian is just no meat, but when you cook mean and no meat food with the same equip, like Burger King's veggie burger, it does indeed become meat. Beans cooked in lard even more so corrupts the food. Regardless, I thought they were great! Full of beans, cheese, and ensalada stuffing. Unlike pizza or chowder, not so great the next morning. But fresh, they made me think I was back to my roots in SOCAL! Both red and green sauces were what I envisioned. It was take-out and I didn't use the bathrooms, so I have no input on cleanliness or service. I'll go back sometime and report on the inside experience since other reviews have pointed out serious faults in that regard (Sheesh, how hard can it be?). But for now, I'm a liker!
