Locura Marina Peruvian Restaurant

I have to be honest, I had no idea about this restaurant, can't blame me that much I rarely make it to this side of town when I'm in Miami. But definitely I'll be coming back very often.Let me tell you why, the restaurant is completely unpretentious and has one of the best Peruvian food in Miami. I thought Ceviche 105 was top notch, but this restaurant is cheaper, the food portions are bigger and food is even better. The environment is very chill as you may expect in this side of the beach. As for the service it was great and quick even for a Saturday afternoon. Bottom line if you don't live around, plan a day in the beach and have lunch here and trust me you will thank me

Today we are having a mix ceviche picante and yuca a la guancaina, food is always good here , the place is not fancy at all but it has good Peruvian food for a reasonable price , we can say is a every day kind of restaurant. We had pisco soured and they were great , his with sugar mine with no sugar. Service is always fab , ambience noice but ok. Try it you won't be disappointed!

Great ! Ceviche was exceptional! Tostones fresh and crispy. I have enjoyed every visit. Good prices

Located across Collins Avenue from the Bandshell (and near where the Full Moon Party) is held, I had the chance to stop at Locura Marina this last week when my friend Vancy recommended it. Don't let the name fool you, as it is not only seafood! We were able to get in right before the dinner rush, and from what I heard there's always a full house of locals. It is definitely a hidden gem.I started with a glass of white wine, a cool & crisp way to unwind from Music Week and get in the mood for the Moon. My appetizer was their Causa Limena. This potato dish, with the black pepper in the egg and Mayo dressing, is far from boring. You can definitely notice the kick!As far as a meat dish, I really liked their Pollo Saltado, basically a chicken stir fry with teriyaki sauce, grilled veggies & and helping of crispy fries. All of this was on their dinner menu for $20. Yes, this isn't an April Fool joke! The portion size was enough to have leftover for lunch. I would definitely stop by again!

My coworker told me about this hidden gem in north beach so we decided to get takeout one day during office hours. They have a great lunch menu for about $15 which includes and appetizer, entree and a drink. I was shocked at the items on the menu. Apps such as ceviche and entrees like fish and lomo saltado. I got a salad and lomo with a nice cold sprite. The servings are perfect for the price. Fresh and delicious food for under $20 in Miami Beach - a must try! Ordering was easy, the receptionist was nice and recommended a few dishes. Payment was taken in the restaurant during pick up. There is street parking available but I recommend if picking up, go with someone who can get down and grab the food quickly. The order was fast no wait at all. Will try again soon this was delicious.

My moms Peruvian friend recommend this place to my mom, who became a regular patron. I did not know what to expect on a Sat. night. Its a great atmosphere, ambience, staff super friendly and offered recommendations. The food was fantastic. Drinks were great w an extra shot on the side. Sangria was loaded to the top. Prices were very reasonable and good value.This is my new go to spot in Miami and will come back again.

Deceptive practices:I was visiting Miami recently. My family lives in the area and are regulars at this restaurant. We come for the excellent ceviches and pisco sours. On Wednesday, Dec 27, 2023, four of us dropped by for a late afternoon lunch. Everything went well and we even ordered take out for family members who could not make it. The otherwise excellent experience was marred by an ugly, and more importantly, deceptive practice when we were presented the bill. Initially, we were presented with a bill that listed only the total amount due. There was a blank line for "tip" and "total" below that. No other information was presented. (See Photo No. 1) We then asked for an itemized bill. (See Photo No. 2) Only then did we learn that $36.59 was already included as a gratuity charge. When asked about this charge, we were told that they add 20% to all customer bills. Irrespective of this alleged practice, presenting a bill without full itemization of charges that already includes a tip and then include an area to write in a tip (not "additional" tip) is a deceptive practice. A customer could unknowingly be duped into tipping twice.Beware of this practice if you chose to come here. I call upon restaurant management to be more transparent and take affirmative measures to insure full disclosure of billing practices.

This is my favorite Peruvian place. Their lunch special is the best. Great flavor and quality and decent portions. I always get the lunch special with the ceviche mixto, lomo saltado and a chicha morada to drink . 10/10. Highly recommend. The atmosphere of the place is also lovely and the staff is so friendly.

GREAT FOOD ! Loved the lunch special, really an amazing deal ( appetizer & entree for $15 ) ! Food tasted fresh, & came out fast. The restaurant is clean and super inviting! Definitely will be going back for the lunch specials !

I'll start by saying the minute I walked in I knew i would be satisfied. I got welcomed with smiley faces from the employees. It was busy and every table seemed to be loving life. Good food? Good life!! Lol... And with that being the case, you would love your life after having a meal, the Ceviche!?? Geezus!! Amazing!! Followed by a Lomo Saltado, put the OMG face on!! Delicious!! Delicious food and for only $15!??? No wonder the ambience was great when I walked in! Congratulations to the owner, you are making the world happy!!! 5 stars times 10!!
