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.

I have to say the service was very slow. My sister arrived before my husband and I did an order a margarita by this time we sat down at the table. She’d already been there for about 10 minutes. We actually got our drinks before she did and had to ask twice when she’d be getting her Mar. That was not appropriate I know they were busy, but they should’ve handled that differently. Food was great though.

We arrived to fine s bunch of people lined up but let the hostess know we had the OT reservation. She found it and sat us as soon as possible showing remarkable patience and grace while smiling all the time. We had Carnitas and the Pribil which were both delicious. Given how crowded it was all service was great.

Our evening here was disappointing. It took about 30 mins to get our order taken after being seated and another 30+ mins to be served. The mojito and sangria were very disappointing, would not recommend. We were a party of 4. One dish was lukewarm, one was dry (carnitas), the other 2 were fine. Our table was never cleared of our appetizer plates and 6 bowls of salsa so the table was crowded and messy. We were never offered, or had a chance to ask, for more water.

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.
