Miami is the hub in the US for traditional Cuban food. I am first generation Cuban/American and intimately know real Cuban food and the Cuban tradition. Casa Marin is the real deal! The service is amazing, and welcoming. The food takes me back to my childhood, the flavors, the scents of the Cuban homemade foods and the activity of everyone speaking Spanish at the same time. When you come to Miami and don't know Cuban food don't be fooled by the trendy neighborhoods and the flashy signs! Go to Casa Marin for the real flavors of Cuba! The prices are affordable, the portions are significant and the flavors and dishes are true to Cuban tradition.

Had lunch couple days ago and it was good as always mother had a tamal en cazuela and chicken soup, portions are big. I had a fufu with fish and shrimp, it was a good portion as well and all tasted very good. The only issue I had is the we order the soup and tamal on the medium size as menu said medium and large, but when the bill came it said large so I ask the lady and she told me you order medium whis is the largest on the menue, she did not explain right and I did not wanted to fight as price still very decent, but they should change bill description or menu. Sorry, no pics, I was very hungry. Place in general is not that clean and service falls in ok to good. Will go again as many other items in menu and ordered at other tables look veey yummy.

This place is clean, the service is great and the food was delicious. I had their breakfast and I have no complaints. Affordable. Would definitely go back!

This place is legit. I'm a bit of a Cuban food snob since I grew up going to the original Molinas. We also would go to a little lunch spot in the factories that either doesn't have a name or it just might be a dream. Casa Marin gave me good vibes from the minute I walked up. Full of old people that you could tell are regulars. Lots of movement in the kitchen as they also do cantinas. The prices are fair and shockingly, the service was really good. Got a pan con bistec and it was about $7 and it came with a side of fries. The steak was a bit thicker than normal but was tender and juicy. They fix their steak sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, grilled onion and little fry sticks as they should. Cant wait to go back and try other stuff

So my dad was driving me crazy about this place that he has heard it a bunch of time in the radio and that they had alot of specials and that he wanted to tried chivo robado . So Saturday i called and i ordered chivo robado since that is their special and also i ordered oxtail. Oxtail was a just like a chunk of an oxtail and good luck getting your meat also the chivo robao had an after taste which was not at his best well i did not like it but it did not have alot of meat either, the platanitos maduros were ok I believe the best thing i tasted was el arroz congris and their yuca. Service wise they were super nice , they tried to help me in what they could but aside from day i will recommend that they take the time to serve better portions and better food

I see the previous reviews for this restaurant are pretty up and down. I can speak only for my limited experience, as I went for lunch and ordered only a Cuban sandwich, black bean soup and rice. The food was very good. The service was spot on. They had an electronic organ/keyboard thing they had set up to play some kind of pre-programmed cascade of terrible songs. It got annoying after a while, and eventually it stopped. My server didn't speak a word of English. I speak passable Spanish, so it was no big deal. It made the experience feel more authentic for me. The restaurant is no-frills. It's basically a diner. The menu is not extremely deep but what I had and what I saw on the tables around me looked good. The prices are very reasonable. I had pretty much everything I wanted for around $12. I liked this place. But Hialeah is a pain to get to and is probably best avoided anyway. If you're in the area anyway, this is a good choice to start with for Cuban food. But I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to get here.
