Super authentic modern Mexican. The street corn appetizer is a must try and the fajitas are probably the best I’ve ever eaten. Great service as well.

Really flavorful food. Appetizers were a highlight though everything was good. I just wish it was a little cheaper.

We dined here for lunch and had a positive experience from start to finish. The hostess was very professional and personable as well as our Server. I ordered the soup on the lunch menu and was accidently provided with a salad, when I mentioned it, the person told me she would bring me soup. The Server came over to apologize and mentioned it was an error in the kitchen. She was so responsive and accommodating. Service was top-notch as well as our meal. The 2 course lunch special was delicious and reasonably priced. I plan to return soon to this wonderful neighborhood gem. thx
Usually a great experience but tonight service lacked. No one cleared plates, drinks were empty, chip basket sat empty. Party of 8 but place was not busy. Disappointed.
Their complimentary corn chips were fresh and scriptures very well with salsa. Steak tacos were flavorful and our vegan option enchiladas were perfectly spiced. We sat on the covered patio enjoying the outdoor views- opt to sit out of space available
We have rebooked a table to celebrate Valentine’s Day dinner.

This place was excellent. Great quality food and service. Eerything we had tasted was delicious. Their Oaxacan Mole was the best, tasted authentic with quality ingredients. Their drinks are great. We will be visiting again! They have portions big enough to share. We can'tt wait to go back and try the other things on the menu. Saw that they have a good happy hour too 😊.

Overpriced Mexican food. They changed the churros too. Used to be better. Now just burnt donut.

First time dining at Tamarindo and was really impressed! The guacamole appetizer was excellent, and the chips/salsas were also very good, although the chips were a bit too salty. My wife really enjoyed the mahi-mahi tacos. I read reviews about the carne asada before dining, and the reviews were spot on -- the best I've ever had! The steak was very tender and the tortillas were great! Loved my margarita as well. Overall, a great dining experience, and our server, Leslie, was very attentive -- checking back often. We're looking forward to our next visit!
Lively, contemporary, Latin restaurant with a great patio and full bar. The staff was friendly, attentive and efficient. The menu has familiar Mexican food favorites, but also some elevated dishes with a creative twist. We enjoyed the spicy Elote Spears and the Octopus+Mahi Tacos. Great depth of flavor, texture and spice.

We like the early bird dinner time when it is not as crowded and noisy. Got seated immediately and served. Food was excellent. Server let us sat and enjoy the company after dinner before the dessert. All was very nice
Very bad service and food. I was there with family and sharing few plates, after we got home we felt so uncomfortable and the food upsets our stomach. We got food poisoned.

We were disappointed. No ambiance, can barely hear music. Chips too salty, salsa too watery. Shrimp overpriced for only being 6 shrimp with white rice. Not enough bussers so lots of tables sitting dirty. They brought out my partner’s food at least five minutes before mine. I would not go back.

Great ambiance and friendly professional service. We rate this restaurant an overall 3/3.5. We were 4 at the table. 3 ordered Chicken Enchiladas and 1 White Sea Bass. We tried an order of the Elote Spears for starters. Elite Spears were smoky delish accompanied by 3 sauces. Yummy! The enchiladas were on the small side and tasted meh sadly. The sea bass was seared excellently and rested in a chorizo based cauliflower puree beside some potatoes. It was good! Cocktails! We tried their Margarita Tamarindo, and a Watermelon Margarita. No complaints. For the size served and amount of ice, pricey! All in all, we'd had expected more oomph. Great place to gather with friends!!
Great service, food is delicious.
