The team behind award winning Puesto has introduced a new restaurant, created especially for the Huntington Beach community, that is rooted in the same values and commitment to quality that Puesto and the family behind it has come to be known for. Marila’s is a place that serves up a bit of nostalgia for the family as it offers the comforts of home cooking through family recipes passed down through the generations. Named in love after their abuela, Marila’s Mexican is a piece of their home and their hearts.

We look forward to welcoming you to Marila's Mexican.

We had so much fun celebrating my sister's birthday. The food was great and the service was even better. Our servers Justin and later Nick were so funny. They really made our celebration that much more crazy/fun! :)

Unfortunately the food and service were poor. Food was mid- and server was slow. We heard a neighboring table ask if they were ever getting served. Not a great experience and we won’t be back.

Our waitress was outstanding. We had young kids in our group and she did everything possible to make them feel comfortable. She was patient and kind the whole time and did a great job. It was a very good experience.

This was our first time at Marila's Mexican. The food was really tasty and presented well. We chose the outdoor seating which is a really big area with lots of good air flow but protected from wind and rain. We will definitely return.

Every time I come here, it's a great experience. I can't seem to decide what's better - if it's the great food or the awesome service that staff provides. Actually - it's both & more!! Steph here is the best manager ever- she remembers all the guests and always greets them with a smile and personally checks on them. A big reason we always have a great experience here. Our servers are always exceptional . Alina was awesome and took good care of us. We love dining here and looking forward to more awesome times here!

Unfortunately this was our second attempt and we won’t be going back. We had four people in our party, and two of us ordered the filet mignon and carnitas burritos and it seemed like they only had white instant rice inside them. There was hardly any flavor and not worth the price. We also had to wait even though we had a reservation and there were empty seats. Another person had the tacos and he said the taste was really off. The beers and chips and salsa were good, but we had a similar experience the first time. 3/10.

Stopped in on Oct 7th at 6:30 we were seated outside. The outside seating was very noisy the restaurant is located along the Bella Terra Drive and you get the occasional Modified Muffler car driving by. There also was a car alarm constantly going off in the in one of the 2 stalls next to the dinning room. We ordered the fillet Mignon Tacos they were very good they had cheese coated on the outside of the tacos we ordered the Mushroom Burrito it had mushrooms and rice wrapped up in a tortilla and a side of black beans. It all needed salt for my taste. We ordered the Esquite which was corn crema Tajin Cheese line it was very good tasting I recommend it. For a quiet dinner for 2 do not sit outside for a family and friends dinner it is the perfect place to go will I come back yes the food was good

Food at Puesto is always amazing and tonight for taco Tuesday was no different. The service was very on point from Bryan, he made our dinner very enjoyable and his service was very personable. Will definitely ask for his section next time we are in.

Place was empty, overall of 3-4 tables and we had to constantly flag our waiter down. We order potato taquitos which came with no sour cream as taquitos should. We also ordered the fajitas and it was a child’s portion.

Went for brunch and loved it. I feel like the portions and food quality for the price is more than fair. Anyone saying it's too expensive probably can't find the same quality of food and location for the price they WANT to pay. Kids meals are a great value and I could almost split one meal between two 10 year old. The corn pancakes are AMAZING. Not too sweet and absolutely delicious. I wish I'd remembered to add meat to my chilaquiles, but there's always next time. Our server was fast and made sure we always had enough water.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were quite surprised because we were there a year prior for lunch. It was a bit of a déjà vu for me. They recently changed their name, and when I booked my reservation, I never made the connection. First, let me say the interior of the restaurant is incredible— it’s magical, and stunning. We opted to eat outside, since we were celebrating a birthday, and wanted more privacy. The patio is nice, because it’s fully covered with open sides so you can get fresh air—not quite the atmosphere of the inside, but very nice and pleasant. For brunch, our group ordered breakfast burritos, classic guacamole, chorizo and eggs, and Marila’s famous corn pancakes. Those who ordered the breakfast burritos said it was good, but the chorizo and eggs, and corn pancakes were the highlight, the pancakes were delectable. The balance between sweet and savory was very nice. I also ordered a pineapple mule… scrumptious. Our service was very good. Kimberly was very attentive, friendly, and very informative. We really appreciated her and the team. All in all, I definitely would recommend Marila’s. As I said, I’ve only been here for brunch and lunch, and I’m sure dinner experiences are equal, if not better than the experiences I’ve had.

The servings are not huge, but they are plenty and are very tasty. The outside was nice and the service was great. I like that they don’t tack on a fee or add a 20% tip like some other local Mexican restaurants.

We used to come here when it was just Puesto and it has most of the same things on this menu (accept the churros which was disappointing) but this menu has a lot more offerings. More plates rather than just tacos. The tacos are still as good as ever and the Maggies are excellent and well priced considering the top shelf alcohol. I ordered the mango Maggie with the hope that it wouldn't be too sweet. It was not only not too sweet but a great blend of flavor between the mango flavor with a hint of the true margarita flavor and the tequila as the star. My only negative us the price of the single tacos @ $9 each, however the care in the building of these tacos does not dissapoint and the flavor is incredible..plus they give you plenty of chips and salsa. I ordered the mushroom which is always a must have and the short rib taco which is a melt in your mouth flavor explosion that I liked so much I ordered 2 to go for lunch the next day. For 2 of us factoring in 4+ (ehem) drinks, and tacos to go, was about $130.

We sat outside and it was peaceful and comfortable. The taco deal on Tuesdays is truly a deal. Food was delicious and so are the drinks— glad they have horchata and I especially love the mushroom taco— a great non-meat option.
