Marlin Cafe in Key West - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Wow, what a great place. Outstanding food with big portions. Chicken Tostadas 👍 Shrimp Burrito 👍 Shrimp & Fries 👍 The vibe from inside the truck is great, the guys singing along to their music and having a blast. If we didn’t live so far away we would be back 1000%. Thank you.

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).

You can't beat this food truck's offerings. Amazing birria tostadas and fish tacos. Big portions that are flavorful and pack a punch. The price is right compared to other establishments.

I had the Cubano sandwich and can only recommend it. The food there is simply super recommended.

I had gone to another place for breakfast and was underwhelmed and not full. I had passed Marlin Cafe on the way to the first choice. I stopped on the way back and snagged a veggie breakfast burrito. One of the best I have ever had. It was filling, tasty, and prices right!!! Might have found my spot!!!

Nice place, always very tasty, took a sandwich for breakfast, today he told me to cook it off the menu. Made a great BLT in just a few minutes. I always recommend it to everyone.

Best Cuban Sandwich I had on my trip to Key West and Miami

Outstanding cubano sandwich. Highly recommend a side of their house made verde sauce too.

food is absolutely delicious! stopped by on a whim before our flight and almost went back for 2nds!! the birra tacos and sweet plantains were perfect.

Great food well cooked. Great Cuban sandwich done the Miami way. Can feed two. Service can be slow at times.

Delicious food and excellent service 🫶🏻

If you are looking for a good place to eat, with good food and service, you will never go wrong with Marlin Cafe, I do highly recommend it, is tasty, definitely you would need to try it, I do recommend the special sandwich.

Excellent service, brutal food, excellent attention and the portions are not worth mentioning. 100% recommended... Yes or yes I will return!!!

Cuban sandwich here is great! (I got the Cubano Especial.) Better than most Cuban sandwiches I had on my trip to Miami & Key West. Lots of meat! Convenient food truck to grab some food quick. We got our sandwiches then walked down the street and ate them looking at the water.

If you're looking for a new food experience in Key West, I highly recommend trying out the food truck I recently visited. It was my first time there, and I was blown away by how delicious the meal was. I think it's worth stopping by and giving it a try for yourself.

Great smoothies and breakfast sandwiches

Very good food great prices very generous portions. We will be back

Key West’s best food truck , service and food are awesome, if you know you know !! Ssshhh it’s a secret 😊

Plan for the day if going to order here, took 30 mins with only 3 people ordering total… food was good but plan accordingly no where to sit while waiting wouldn’t go back

Great food. Very polite staff. Pastor Quesadilla was amazing in flavor

Best tacos ever 😭 better than I had in Mexico 🇲🇽 no offence. Staff is very friendly. Love it.

Some of the best shrimp tacos I've ever had and reasonably priced compared to most places on the island

Best po'boy sandwich in town. Everything is great. Food super tasty.

Banging breakfast burritos and cortadito coffee

Food truck we found . Cubano was delicious and the fries were fine. Even had bottled Coke!

Best place to get Al pastor. I’m doing this review after a week eating there. But the taste still in my mouth. Also try out the birria tacos. Cortadito was good as well.

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!

I ordered latte coffee today and they gave me instant coffee. The taste is very bland and like plain water. Don't be fooled

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.

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.

Loved the sandwich, very delicious. Make sure you douse it in the sweet hot sauce they have.

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

Omg!! Amazing good truck good ive ever had!!! It was right across my hotel and was so excited they were there! Thank u guys your amazing! Just wish there was some seating area.

Best food truck in Key West Florida 👌

Fish tacos are delicious. The Baja sauce is the best I've had. Definitely worth stopping by

The Cuban Special sandwich is awesome, the best Cuban sandwich I've eaten in Key west, I recommend it without hesitation to everyone!

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.

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!

Food was delicious and service was great… gracias muchachos….. eeehhhh Miguel

Super tasty food - best food truck in Key West. I highly recommend it.

We ordered 2 quesadillas, shrimp fajita tacos, plantains, and a chicken fajita and everything was delicious and well made. We will be back and we recommend it for lunch!

My adult boys (men) loved it, we did too. Food excellent and cooked to order. A touch pricey and I share a previous comment about tipping. No matter, possibly one of the best meals on the island.

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.

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

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.

A must try the food is amazing!! Staff is also great!!

The authentic presentation and unique recipe are very good creating a fiesta of taste hard to forget, thankfully for your services guys 😅

You can order online . The Cuban coffee was so good and strong as needed !! Would have ate there again if we had time .

The Churrasco tacos are delicious 😋 The best of the place. Thank you!🇲🇽

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

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!

Good food and service. Highly recommend.

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. 🤤🤣

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!

Super good! Got carnitas tacos, fish tacos and the fish filet entree and entire handily loved it. Highly recommend.

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.

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