There are streets in Marikina that are studded with foodie places, namely: Rainbow Street, Lilac Street, J.P. Rizal, and Gil Fernando. I can add more, but those foodie spots are kept in a secret folder which I will be publishing soon.
It is convenient to dine in Marikina. The city is small making it easy to go around 'till you find a foodie place to your liking. The prices are low compared to more commercial cities. And of course: Marikenyos are known for their discipline which translates into great customer service. I hope you agree with me. :)
The last stretch that I mentioned earlier was Gil Fernando. It was formerly called Tuazon so if someone tells you to go to Tuazon in Marikina, you know where to make the turn. (Gil Fernando is the stretch of road from Sta. Lucia foot bridge to Marquinton - at least to give you an idea.) In this stretch, there are many food places, I've featured some of them here, such as Luyong, Zakee, Good Thymes and Tapsi ni Vivian. There are still so many waiting to be featured!
Another place that serves really good Pancit Malabon is Auntie's Bakeshop and Pasalubong! Obviously, this foodie spot is also located along Gil Fernando. I noticed a lot of people coming in and picking up their bilaos for advanced orders. Auntie's serves Pancit ng Taga Malabon, and it really tastes good! I love the sauce and the squid toppings.
Auntie's also offers set meals called FIESTA MEALS. We all ordered Fiesta Meals, to have a portion of both the Pancit Malabon and an entree of our choice.

While waiting for our orders, we munched on Classic Chicharon Puti :) (These are actually fish crackers!)
