If the weather wasn't so cold, we would've gone to our usual place in Edmond. The parking lot was dark and sketchy and could use more lights. We were the only couple in the restaurant, but two more couples came in toward the end of our meal. We were greeted by a friendly older staff with a good sense of humor. He was the highlight of this visit. Their complimentary setup was decent. The salsa was watery though. I ordered chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce. The meat was tender, and the sauce was creamy, a tad bit bland though. Also, the dish was heavy on the stomach. I did like the rice; it was different for once. The meal didn't impress me, but it was still a good visit. read more

This is mine and my husband's favorite Mexican spot! The staff is always friendly and the food is delicious!!!

This was SO good. Complementary chips, salsa, and queso was very good. The horchata was as well. And I ordered the #5 Marin Special - steak, shrimp, eggs, veggies... SO delicious! Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Zero complaints. read more

Cocina Marin - #5 Marin Special: shrimp, beef, onions, jalapeños, eggs, avocados, rice, beans, tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

So glad I tried Cocina Marin! The food is hands down wonderful. The gentleman who was my server was so kind and on top of things. Two things you need to pack if you choose to eat here: 1) your appetite! The portions are so generous! The complementary chips and queso are fresh and delicious...so good luck making it to your main course with much room left! I ordered the Chile rellano dinner with no regrets!! The fajitas a neighboring table ordered smelled incredible! 2) a little patience. This is a family owned and operated business. There was only one dedicated server but at times family members would step in to fill a glass or ring a person up at the register. Little kids occasionally were running around laughing, tripping, and just overall being active indoors while it's 20° outside. I'd rather sit next to some action while I enjoy good food than know they're glued to a TV screen! read more

My sister got the quesadilla dinner and and it was delicious too and great portions! Staff was wonderful and kind, we'll probably be back next Friday:) read more

New favorite authentic Mexican food restaurant. I had a single order of beef and chicken fajitas and they were phenomenal. Both steak and chicken were cooked perfectly and were very tender. The guacamole was made fresh and the pico de gallo was probably the best I've ever had. The queso and salsa were really good. I'm more of a beer guy however I was talked into trying their Margarita and it was refreshing. read more

Really good food and super service, we always enjoy stopping by for dinner. I've never left disappointed, they also hosted my brothers rehearsal dinner for his wedding for a great price and provided amazing food. I would 100% recommend this place if anyone is looking for good Mexican food in okc. It doesn't look like much on the outside but it's become my favorite Mexican place. read more

We live in Oklahoma City and this is one of the closest Mexican restaurants we've ever been too! The food is really great, and the waiters are really nice and treat you like family. We usually get free chips and queso/salsa, and we also order mixed tortillas before the main course. The chips are always baked and not overdone most of the time, the rice is pretty good and the beans are decent, but they also have cheese on them, which makes them better! I usually mix the rice and beans together. And I would always order the baby cheese qasadilla every single time. We also really like the Mexican Coke. We are a family that has been going there for a few years! read more

If you're looking for good, quick, affordable Tex-Mex, this is your place! Cocina Marin is one of my favorite Mexican places in the area. The menu has a lot of variety, chips, tortillas, salsa, queso, and sopapillas are all complementary, and the service is great. The restaurant is family-run. They have those really huge, translucent blue water glasses with that signature hole-in-the wall Mexican place tap water that pairs well with everything. They are happy to accommodate special requests. read more

It is so important to support small business in these crazy times and Cocina Marin is an incredible restaurant. The waiting staff is incredible, drinks are always refilled, chips were always brought out, I can't stress how great the service was. There Chili rolleno is the best in town. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Marin family we are all wishing Reuben a speedy recovery. read more

Enjoyed the cheese sauce but chips were overdone. Nothing special with the beans. Chimichangas seemed small and lacked filling. Took most home to mix with my own food. read more

Cocina Marin - Chimichanga dinner - Mexican Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Food was okay, but once our waiter served the food, we never saw him again. After a lengthy wait, I began staring at two other employees chatting in the dining room for about 15 minutes before one came over and asked if we needed anything. I requested a refill on my drink, more sour cream, and a to-go box for my wife. We then recieved those items. After waiting about another 15 minutes, I finally gave up on ever seeing our ticket, and went to the cashier to request it. read more

We both got the wrong order. And the girl seemed out of it. Horrible service. Never again. Only had a short lunch and didn't get to 31st cuz they took forever to bring the food again. Manager should be on duty overlooking seemed like there was nobody to talk to. read more

This is my favorite hole in the wall restaurant. My family is really good friends with the staff and they are very friendly. Everything is efficient and never disappoints. The staff busts their asses serving you. Food tastes amazing, my favorite thing to get is probably the chimichangas. If you are looking for a good authentic Mexican restaurant, this is the place to go. read more

Fajita meat and beer chicken fajitas were amazing. The beef was so tender it melted in my mouth. My husband went here one day for lunch and has been talking about for months and now I know why. Great service as well. read more

This used to be my go to Mexican in OKC back when I moved here in 2005. The food was excellent the service was great and the people were friendly however the place started to go totally down hill fast when the owners brother took over running day to day operations in 2011. I moved away from OKC in 2013. FAST FORWARD TO 2018 I moved back to town and decided to give this place another shot because I was in the area and my go to Mexican spot in Edmond was 40 min away (Los Arcos on 2nd st in Edmond is the best Mexican food you will eat in the OKC metro trust me on this) the place was packed which was a positive sign to me however once I got seated I was seated that the staff lunch table that was littered with empty soft drink bottles (which I had to clean up myself) and broken benches with torn seats and busted springs. I had to ask for chips queso and salsa (queso was cold salsa was sour) and I was rushed through my order and they got it wrong (I ordered a beef chimichangas and I got chicken and I waited 30 min for my food did not bother to complain about the wrong food because I was starving and did not want to wait another 30 mins ) the food was not horrible but not worth the wait I feel if I went to the taco truck parked 3 doors down I would of gotten the same quality for half the price and better service I will not be coming back and will instead take the 40 min drive to Edmond and Los Arcos read more

This is the best kept secret in Oklahoma City. If you love chili rellanos this is your place. They fill a poblano pepper with either beef or chicken, batter the pepper, then deep fry. They are truly amazing, the absolute best that I have found anywhere. Give this gem a try. You won't regret it! read more
