There's truly something for everyone...and honestly, I've never had anything here that wasn't good. That said, I always come back to my staples: Las Adelitas, The Oinker, and Italian Marcelo. Each one is packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and made with love. Whether you're a first-timer or a longtime Houstonian, Marini's never disappoints. A must-visit...and revisit.

The place was tucked off in plaza I had to get up in there and was so pleasantly surprised. So cozy and cute. They have a great selection of empanadas and all the ones I had were sooooooo good. The spinach was a little juicier than I anticipated but everything was made so fresh. The Tia Maria and eggplant were my favorites and the sauces were a great addition in flavor. The dessert empanada sweet potatoes was top tier. The filling was just sweet enough, definitely want to taste the others, especially since they make their own fruit fillings. I can see how they've been around for so long. New customer alert !

The lunch menu came with a choice of either soup or salad, which I got the lentil soup. The soup was thick and hearty. It was very good. My steak was cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. The sides were well-seasoned too. The size of the steak, to me, was sufficient and considered big for a lunch menu. I had a triple chocolate tres leches after my steak. It was the perfect ending. I received warm and excellent service throughout my lunch. The restaurant is big and suitable for all party sizes. There is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant, so that is a plus point.

The room we were in was large, with tables placed closely together. Navigating was a bit hard, but it was a large group. The servers were extremely efficient and always present when you needed them. I was surprised and happy with the number of menu items available in the predetermined menu. I had the poblano soup, the spinach and mushroom enchiladas and the tres leches and they were absolutely delicious! The soup was rich and flavorful with crunchy chip pieces on top as a garnish. The enchiladas were savory and crepe like and the tres leches was a perfect close to the meal!

Food: I ordered the crab cakes for lunch but after the first bite, it failed to wow me. I then ordered the fried shrimps (6 on a stick) and they were so good!

She checked on me but didn't overdo it which allowed me to enjoy my meal in peace. She was great! Ambiance: It was everything!!! I decided to sit outside on the patio since the interior of the restaurant was a bit cold for me. It was such a beautiful day, the music was perfect, and I had the entire patio to myself!

The staff was attentive throughout our visit, making sure our drinks stayed filled and the table remained clean. They even had a cute little photo backdrop set up for guests, which was a nice touch for Mother's Day. The food was buffet-style with a large variety of options. There were several protein choices including beef, chicken, pork, and seafood, all of which were well seasoned and cooked nicely. They also offered a variety of sauces to pair with the different proteins. The buffet was constantly being replenished, so everything stayed fresh and hot. My mom especially loved the root salad and lamb chops, while my favorites were the crème brûlée and the osso buco. Overall, there was a huge spread of food with plenty of variety for everyone. My only recommendation would be to have better labeling on what everything was as sometimes there wouldn't be a label otherwise My mom loved it, and we'll definitely be back.
