    Food was good. Typical Cuban fish, rice and beans. Credit Card bill wasn’t :-( We gave tip but the guys just added-up the tip by another 10%. So, better pay cash, then you also can give the 5 stars.

    The shrimp tacos were so good. We went back for breakfast. I had the huevos rancheros. They were excellent!!

    I got the fish and chips and I can say this was probably the best fish I have ever had the fry’s were good too. The only issue was that it takes about 10-15 minutes to get your food

    Fantastic colada and cafe con leche, and BEST chorizo egg cheese burrito I’ve ever had!! Just spicy enough to notice and enhance the flavor without being so strong or greasy that it makes you nauseous like some places. Super chill and fast.

    The fish tacos were the best we have ever had. Total flavour bomb and just fantastic. Thanks from Australia and if you are in Key West you need to grab something from here. My wife had to leave the hotel pool to tell him how awesome it was.

    OMG the absolute BEST fish tacos I’ve ever had…and I’ve had a lot. Their Baja Fish tacos are fantastic! It came with 4 tacos, the fish was lightly breaded and perfectly fried, topped with cabbage, onions and a flavor blast sauce. Highly, highly recommend!

    One of the only places in key west to get good birria tacos. The consome was kind of oily but overall the food was good.

    Best tacos on key west. Wow, I'm from New Orleans and we have food trucks like this. Don't pass the pulled pork and Baja tacos up. A 1 on point

    The food was great! I had a quesadilla for dinner and chorizo and egg meal for breakfast. Both were very filling and fairly priced. Their iced coffee is also delicious! I definitely recommend!

    We actually ate here for lunch two days in a row. The tacos are amazing. I got the steak and my husband got the carnitas day one. The green sauce (didn't have the consistency of a typical verde, I believe it was something else) was so good, the right amount of heat and a great flavor. The website would not allow you to order birria even though it is on the menu, so the second day we called it in. I got the quesabirria tacos and my husband got the birria quesadilla. My tacos came with radishes on it. I was pleasantly surprised about it. I'm not really a fan of radishes personally but it really went well in this. My tacos came with consume and more of the green sauce that I shared with my husband. We also got rice and beans, Cuban bread and fried plantains. Very good. Very affordable.

    Saw the reviews on them and was excited to see they had food in key west that i like …as i walking down the street i saw the truck and figured give it a try since it was 520pm around dinner hour…the door to truck was cracked and could hear music so i called the number on the truck to order and no one picked up and then since door was cracked i knocked on door and asked if they were still serving since showed open till 8 but no answer….i think with them you have to be there at certain time when they feel like working …but disappointed after see such good reviews …not wasting my time since there other decent places that are open

    We stopped by for coffee twice and got breakfast this morning, good prices and great breakfast burritos! Coffee is great, too!

    There's a lot of taco shops in key west... this is the best.

    We had the chicken tacos and fish quesadilla and it was amazing! Even went into labor that night 😂 Will definitely be coming back soon! Thank you!

    You can not go wrong with the Birria tacos. I live near Miami and try Birria from different places up here, nobody does it as good as the Marlin Cafe. We ordered this 3 times while I’m key west. I know rice and beans are a simple dish but these were filled with flavor and the perfect serving. We ate breakfast one day from here and even that was good. My son ordered a plain hamburger and honestly it was good with nothing on it. Packed with so much flavor. The staff were super nice too and I’m a little sad I have to drive 4 hours just to get food from my now favorite place to eat. 🤤🤣
