Upscale Cuban venue with dreamy decor & craft cocktails
"Pulling flavors and design elements from Cuba, Mariel is the newest restaurant from the Coje Management Group, opening Monday, September 30 at 4 p.m.; it marks a new regional focus for the group (which operates Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar, Ruka Restobar, and Yvonne’s) and promises a downtown, Caribbean-flavored addition to 10 Post Office Sq., Boston." - Eater Staff
"The food usually isn’t the first thing people talk about when it comes to Mariel downtown. But it should be. Beyond the flaming cocktails, the Havana-meets-the-Lincoln-Memorial decor, and the steady selfie procession, you’ll find yuca cheese puffs that are a perfect way to start any meal, small plates that are always filled with more flavor than you expect, and a cod fish sandwich that’s one of the best cod dishes in a city with a lot of cod dishes. This is our new favorite birthday place, for literally anyone’s birthday." - dan secatore
"Escaping to Cuba in the middle of the winter would be a great way to forget about the fact that your car is buried under a foot of ice and frozen trash. But since we can’t advocate you breaking the law to do so, we suggest going to Mariel instead. This Cuban spot is covered with Havana-inspired street murals and filled with flaming cocktails, which you can use to regain movement in your left hand after battling the wind in Downtown Boston to get here. If you don’t know where to start, split the yuca cheese puffs and chorizo cuban pizza." - dan secatore
"For a fun night Downtown that’s filled with as much flare as a Pitbull music video, you should head to Mariel. While the two of you are sitting in a pink suede booth, drinking rum that’s actually on fire, and consuming a 16 oz. prime steak, you might think you’re having the time of your lives. Isn’t that the definition of a great date night?" - joel ang, dan secatore
"In downtown Boston I found Mariel’s frozen guava daiquiri and guava mojito to be standout, Cuban-inspired guava drinks." - Karen Wilber
