This is such a lovely Spanish restaurant. This was a great first experience for trying out some tapas after a stressful day. We went here for happy hour and the prices were so cheap. Our group got couple tapas and drinks and it was a great time. I of course had to try out their Sangria and it was amazing! The food was also very good! The atmosphere itself is pretty chilled and a very cool ambient. It's a very good date spot and you can even sit outside if you want to. I will definitely come back here to check out the dinner part!
Nice Tapas place located near my Alma Mater. Went here for a small birthday celebration. Place is a bit small, but didn't fee too crowded. I had Mojitos and they were pretty good. For dinner we did the typical Tapas sampling, a little bit of everything. One of the stand outs was the bacon wrapped dates, which were excellent.
When I visit my friends in Riverdale, they always take me to great places in the area and this was no exception.
We came here for dinner last week and had a great time. As a few others have mentioned, service is a bit slow, but they definitely make up for it in their food, drinks, and just the vibe of the place. There are dark brick walls and booths and tables, and they have some outdoor seating as well. We ordered a bunch of different tapas and all of them were really good. They don't have vegetarian paella on their menu, but we asked if they could make it for us, and they did. The veggie paella was delicious! It was the last dish, so we were starting to get full, but we still finished every last bit of it. We ordered the papas rellenas de queso, setas, empanadas, and queso machego, and they all were good.
It is a bit on the pricey side, but it's a definitely a nice place to have dinner occasionally.
$5 MOJITO MONDAYS!! They are NOT stingy with their alcohol too. Just make sure that you sit in different sections every time you come here so they don't remember your face and how sloppy you were the last time you came here. I came twice on a monday and although it was $5 drinks, I think our bill was $150, not including the coconut water and advil.
Really cute decor, bathrooms are clean. Service is a tad bit slow, but in that case just wave the manager down because he's always there to make sure you need what you want.
And the datiles with the bleu cheese and bacon is so YUM! I get like 2 orders of this every time I go here! Great recommendation from the bartender.
We were in the area, looking for a place for lunch but I wasn't in the mood for a heavy burger so, of course, I Yelped it and found we were just down the road from Tin Marin and the reviews looked promising.
We were seated without waiting but it was pretty cold in the dining area. I had my jacket in the entire time. The decor is wood on wood on wood which I thought was odd but I'm sure at night it's real sexy and bohemian.
When we sat, hubby spotted the familiar yellow container of Bustelo so, we ordered two piping hot cups of the brew, along with two shots of Kahlua; might as well make the most of it, no? Along with our beverages, we were gifted some warm, light bread with very tasty, seasoned olive oil. I made sure to request more bread for my soon-to-be-had tapas plate.
We each ordered our own tapas plate and one extra to share. Hubby went with the Pastelitos, four empanadas of chicken, beef, veggies and cheese. I went with the Pulpo a la Gallega and it was great; tender sautéed octopus and potatoes in seasoned garlicky oil. My son opted for the Maduro y Jaiva, a dish of mashed sweet plantains topped with crabmeat. It was so unexpectedly good! The sweet plantain paired very well with the fresh, sweet crab meat. We all shared one of their flatbreads, the Coca Tin Marin, topped with caramelized onion, roasted red peppers, chicken and mozz.
After our coffee was topped off, we warmed up and the rest of the meal was great. We'll definitely be back, but maybe for date night with just hubbs and me
Went here for valentine's day and had the stuffed chicken while my husband had the filet mignon. We were both very pleased with our dishes as well as the service. The restaurant was not mobbed and we were seated quickly. The shrimp appetizer was too sweet for my liking.
I live around the corner and I've come here several times to have dinner, and brunch. I've been able to take notice of the difference during summers, and not so warm seasons. I've enjoyed sitting outside in the sun enjoying brunch with friends, enjoying awesome real mojitos. This place has great Hispanic inspired dishes and refreshing freshly made drinks. The drinks may be mixologist recipe however I wouldn't be able to distinguish if they weren't , since they are really great. I've been here several times to know if they vary in quality but time again I'm very satisfied.
Now if I could deduct half a star for the Service I would. The service is not the greatest, granted they can get very busy, I'm talking about a full house! However, you have to enjoy ur drink and company while you wait for your food or other service.
For dinner this place has such a great Ambiance. I've been here while they had a live jazz band who was great! I was blown away at how great I felt eating, and enjoying the entertainment. Another thing is it's probably the only Gem in Riverdale. So it makes me appreciate everything a bit more.
It's so nice to finally have a local tapas bar in our, rather cut off, Riverdale neighborhood. We walk there and more importantly are able to walk back. Tin Marin is a nice fresh wind to Riverdale's historic delivery restaurants. We can get most anything delivered but Tin Marin is a place we actually want to go to.
We usually have a mixed tapas platter with shrimp chicken and beef There are fried plantain and chorizos. We also get bacon wrapped dates and tiny stuffed potatoes.
There are also salads and just a few main courses to pick from as well as a few fish specialties
The wine list is very inexpensive but also not at all remarkable. Stick to mixed drinks or red/white sangria. If you check in while you are there, there is a Yelp deal. ($5.00 off white sangria) I have used it on a few occasions with no problem.
This place is not expensive. We were there a few nights ago and our bill for three was $74.00 including two drinks, my reduced price sangria and a huge platter of tapas.
