Staying at the hotel across the street so decided to try this place out. I ordered the Quesabirria tacos (just birria and cheese) and they were amazing. You get 3 tacos for $18. I enjoyed having a flour tortilla instead of a corn tortilla. As a picky eater, Mexican food can be hard for me to enjoy but I will definitely be back here again during my trip.

Walking around Key West i came along this place… since I am a fan of Foodtrucks, let’s go give it a try.
I ordered a Cubano Sandwich and a Colada.
Besides missing the little cream, the Colada was great. A the size is decent and appreciated.
The sandwich was quite actually really good. Thin beef, ham, lettuce, sauce, and pickle relish. I was missing tomatoes.
The downside was the time waiting. Queuing for about 5-10 minutes, plus additional waiting time of 20 minutes, is definitely too long (came here on a Saturday morning before 10AM). At least any giving info or so would be nice.
Imho the price is a little high for the size. And I was missing the fries… :-/
Well located, next to the Blue Marlin Motel.

service was expected, nothing special. food is really salty and doesn’t have much taste other than grease. we got a steak burrito also, not any better. price was almost $40. not worth it.

I can’t rave enough about this food truck. Literally a quick 5 minute stop and probably one of my favorite meals on the island. We placed an order a few minutes after 3pm not realizing they were closed and they still took our order and didn’t even mention closing time. Talk about great service! Now let’s get to the food…if you want the best cuban..look no further. Marlin out-beat all the other spots. Their cuban was so meaty and hot off the press and the price was on point! I also ordered a mango smoothie which was also divine. I can’t wait to go back!! Best meal hands down!

We have eaten here several times and the food is beyond 5 stars!!! Everything is very fresh, flavorful and serving sizes are great!! The prices are reasonable as well. We have family that live in Key West and are told this is a favorite of many locals… Do not underestimate this opportunity!!

Great Mexican/cuban food truck. We tried the Cuban sandwich, the queso birria tacos, the fish tacos (Baja style) and the asada tostadas and everything was excellent. Huge portions of fish in the fish tacos, they have excellent red and green homemade sauces that come with the tacos. The birria tacos were the favorite but honestly everything was great and at a fair price (cheaper than most of the other restaurants).

When this place is open at the right hours, their food is pretty good. Never really had complaints about the taste of the food.
HOWEVER, change your hours for when you are really open!!! I can’t tell you how many times they say they are open in the morning and they are not. We aren’t talking 5-10 minutes late. We’re talking over an hour or more. They will say open at 9 and they aren’t even open at 10.

Fast and friendly service (I ordered ahead online, quick and easy!) And the food was delicious, fresh and reasonably priced. Cheeseburger and fries is cheaper and WAY tastier than any fast food place around and the shrimp sandwich made as a wrap was incredible. 100% will be back to try more!

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.
