Tin Marin - BRONX

The first time tried Tin Marin, I thought it was just okay. But fast forward to my most recent visit, and my experience was excellent from the food to the drinks to the service! Continue reading for a run down of some of my favorites. Small plates appetizers Definitely get the garlic shrimp, octopus, and croquettes! These are all super yummy! Large plates Stick to the salmon and paella. Both are super tasty! A friend of ours loves the steak, which I think is good but not as spectacular as the ones I mentioned. Drinks These are strong here!! You can't go wrong with any of them. As for the ambiance, it's dark and quaint inside and great for either a date night or a smaller group gathering. But, be aware that later in the evenings on weekends, Tin Marin brings in live musicians and bands. Therefore it can get quite loud. However, if you dine early, you can avoid this if you're not a fan of live music.

This is one of those classic places that never goes out of style aka my wife favorite place in the Bronx . This spot is a staple in the Riverdale area. Great food and great ambient. Service is great as well and they get the food out of that kitchen really fast specially if you order Tapas. The vibe hear is super chill bossa nova type of style. Location is very convenient as well. Keep up the great work.

I came here on a recommendation from my Uber driver and was not disappointed. Arrived at 2:00 p.m. when they opened, no reservation necessary. My party of five leisurely dined and drank for about four hours. We ordered a variety of items: baked portobello mushroom with goat cheese, seafood paella, shrimp mofonguito, canastitas de bacalao. The food was excellent! The canastitas de bacalao were my absolute favorite dish. I wouldn 't get the paella again though. No one in my party liked it and the taste was a bit off. The first thing I noticed was that the rice was gummy and I wanted to add black pepper for flavor. One of my dining companions said the fish had a fishy taste and was too chewy . Oh, and the olive oil for dipping the bread was the best I 've ever tasted! It had to be a homemade concoction because it was more than just oil. It was absolutely delicious. The drinks were 10/10! We were right on time for happy hour and had about fifteen tamarind margaritas between us. Each one was a hit. The bartender was very good at her job. I love the atmosphere and that we were allowed to sit without being rushed. Our server was attentive from the minute we walked in. Light music playing in the background was great and didn 't interfere with having a conversation. I can 't tell you what was being played. Like I said, fifteen margaritas between us. All in all, I love this place and I 'll definitely be back. I 've added it to my list of solid go-to restaurants.

Girl Scout Cookies delivery spot! The plan to meet at a halfway spot, had us decided on Tin Marin. The restaurant is so much smaller than I expected. My impression from the photos viewed on Yelp appeared to make the restaurant seem larger. In this case size doesn't matter, as this woodsy, crystally decorated Tapas gem of a restaurant, makes up in ambiance and an ample selection of tapas, enticing enough to keep one satisfied. Comfortable bar seating, with accommodating staff to create your off menu drink requests. Outdoor, sidewalk seating is available to tackle the prime time patrons taking advantage of their Happy Hour specials. Parking is challenging in the area, so patience is required. This one issue of parking still makes it worth the trip back to Tin Marin for a repeat visit in future.

Stumbled upon this place last night while in the area and decided to give it a try, i loved the sourdough bread with olive oil dipping it was delightful, very fresh and tasty, I went with the waitress suggestion the lamb chops, the were delicious, the mash was a lil hard and lumpy that needs work, paired it with a glass of cab and it was tasty. The atmosphere was a bit loud, we opted to sit inside until a table outside became available but time flew and we just adjusted to the noise level, the place was filled to capacity, everyone's food looked fresh and tasty, I'd go back, i'm hoping someone contacts me i believe my shades were left accidentally.
