Friendly. The food is high quality, I took it to go and it was still hot when we opened it. We had barbacoa, lengua, and tortillas. The price is fair.

I just drove through and picked up a taco for the first time there and it was excellent.. I will be going back as soon as they get the barbacoa in

This is the only place I'll eat Mexican food. It's authentic Mexican food. Never had a bad dish. Chips and salsa are bomb. Don't let this little ol' place fool you.

My husband & I have been to a lot of breakfast taco places in Corpus Christi, we visited Marroquin because we heard it was the place to have the best authentic Mexican food. It didn’t disappoint! It’s a dive but oh man is it good! I had the chorizo, egg & potato breakfast taco and my husband had the barbacoa all meat taco, both on homemade tortillas! I ate it before I could take a photo! It was clean, the staff were prompt it’s been open since 1986. They only accept cash, so bring your . We will be back! Worth the drive if you live in the south side!

This place is really good, I have been going there to get my Mexican Mini Tacos fix. The service is great. However, they only accept cash still and the price has been increasing drastically. That meal cost me more than 20 dollars. Single order of tacos with a Mexican coke.

so so so good! Went here due to recommendations from my coworkers and I regret not coming earlier! I heard they have the best carnitas in town but i decided to get some breakfast tacos! Good size for a good price as well! I got 4 big breakfast tacos for 11! Can’t beat that price! This place is cash only so be prepared and take some cash!
