Casa Marin Restaurant — Restaurant in Hialeah

The food is great, especially the ham croquetas and the Cuban sandwich ( except they don’t put whole pickles or mustard like they should) and the main dishes are good. I have to agree with the many reviewers that say the service sucks. They had a good waitress, but she left to another popular Cuban restaurant. Her name was Odalys. If you get croquetas to go, don’t, unless you bring your own paper bag. They will put them in a styrofoam container without poking holes in it, and of course you wind up with soggy croquetas in minutes. Why don’t they know that? Carelessness and bad service. When you order, if you are having appetizers or soup, don’t order your main dish or they’ll bring all your food together much like cheap Chinese restaurants. White wine comes without a bucket of ice. The waitresses disappear for long periods of time even if it’s not busy. Even if you tell them that you want your take out food after you finish dinning; they will bring it to your table before you have started to eat...

The atmosphere was very bright and engaging. It is in a strip mall by a Walmart grocery so you can miss it if you don’t look closely. Take the time to find it. The chips and salsa were good. Great texture in the chips and they were warmed up. The salsas were homemade and spicy. I had the Sopes al pastor which were sweet but not candy sweet. The blend of savoury and sweet was just what you want in all pastor. They came three to an order. The mole sauce was pretty good. Not too sweet but I think it lacked a little depth. The beer is cold and the drinks look good too. The service was excellent although it was close to closing and we were the only ones there. They had a few options for the Mexican candies so I grabbed a few spicy suckers…I would rate this as a little upscale Mexican food. The prices were appropriate for the fare. Better than many other places I e been. I would compare this to Doña Raquel in pompano. They have the typical Mexican food and many specialty options so everyone...

I have found that the food's quality has greatly decreased over time. During my last visit, I ordered a breaded steak (beef), and aside from it having no seasoning/flavoring whatsoever, the meat tasted as though it had been boiled, then quickly breaded and lightly fried. My mom had a churrasco and ordered it well done, which, in my experience, if correctly made as ordered the first time, turns out fine. It was not initially well done, and when returned, the same piece of meat was just cooked for longer, leaving it really tough to chew. On top of this, the complimentary bread was old, and the tostones seemed to be reheated. It is not likely we will be...
