Marinitas features a menu inspired by dishes found throughout Mexico and Latin America using local and seasonal products. Through the collaboration of Heidi Krahling and Frank Villa, Marinitas delivers Latin focused lusciousness that is an exciting blend of the new and the familiar. The wine list mainly draws from the expansive selections of the best wine makers from Argentina and Chile. Cocktails focus on the silver and gold liquors of Central and South America. The bar is dedicated to classic cocktail preparations including citrus juice squeezed to order, house made sweet and sour made from unrefined cane sugars, along with the highest quality mixers. Beers include a full Mexican selection from light Lagers to dark regional Latin micro-brewed Ales.

    Very disappointing. I made the reservation in advance and made note that it was our anniversary and we would like one of the better tables. It’s a huge restaurant so not a big ask. We were seated at a bar top along the pathway between the bar and the restaurant. Despite having waiters brush past us constantly, service was incredibly slow and non-attentive. Children running around everywhere. It was generally very loud. Took forever to get her food. This place is definitely a shadow of its former self.

    The host and wait service was wonderful and prompt. Super friendly and approachable. The ambiance is a little dark and feels like an old time bar/tavern.

    Heard a lot of good things about this restaurant so was excited to try it out. My fish tacos had too much mayo type sauce on top of the cod and the coleslaw on top of it was very wet. My dining partner sent her fish tacos back cause she tasted something quite off. She had to have too long a conversation with the server to get him to return it to the kitchen. It was replaced with chicken enchiladas which she said was good. Our third eating partner ordered a salad with salmon that she said was very good. Their mojito and margaritas were excellent. I will go back and try another dish but was not impressed by this dine out. Noise level was high and I could not hear our own table conversation. Over the top.
