Cafe Marimba

  • November 6, 2000
  • Rated 4 of 5 by RITA 2 from San Francisco, California
Unbelievably delicious (and this is not just because I know someone who actually creates their fabulous dishes.) Puts a new spin on anything South-of-the-Border that you might have ever tried. The moles are to die for. Really. Go there on Saturday night and enjoy margaritas while you wait for your table (be careful, though, it could be a long wait, this place is extremely popular!) The environment is colorful, alive, vibrant, and the food certainly adds to that. A great place for a celebratory dinner, one of my favorites in the city.

Cafe Marimba

We walked into Cafe Marimba off the sidewalk. We chose to eat there because of its brightly colored decor and festive looking dining area. We were not disappointed. We came to learn that Cafe Marimba is rated as one of the Bay Area's top 100 restaurants. The food is authentic Mexican with a wide variety of choices. Everything looked so good on the menu that I chose a Marimba Sampler Platter which included a Huilaoche Enchilada, a Mole Rojo Chicken Enchilada, a Spicy Chorizo Empnanda, and a Mole Amarillo Chicken Tamale. The meal and service were excellent and very reasonably priced. Best of all, Cafe Marimba uses pre-Hispanic cooking methods which tend to be much healthier than those traditionally associated with Mexican cooking in the US. There is not nearly as much lard and starch used in flavoring, and most of the sauces at Marimba are fat free. This is a great restaurant if you like both Mexican and healthy cuisine!
