A family friend suggested this place as the best Mexican restaurant in Shelbyville, KY. There are MANY to choose from so I took her suggestion and do not need to look any further. Turns out first time is the charm with this one. Man! I cannot tell you how pleasantly surprised I was with Marimba. The food was so hot and fresh. Their flavors are fantastic. I made a combo with a chicken and a beef burrito and a beef taco, which I ate every bit of. Absolutely delicious; but! I was a little jealous of my wife’s plate of perfectly seasoned carnita chunks. We have also visited their buffet they have on Friday’s and sundays and loved being able to sample other flavors they have. Marimbas is our go to Mexican restaurant from now on. It’s just fresh and fabulous.

Good food, salsa a little spicy, ask for mild if you don't like it spicy
