The tacos were delicious and a decent value and variety. There's a lot more on the entrée section of the menu. Tamarindo is cold, balanced and fresh. Cozy and comfortable spot. Gracias

If you’re looking for authentic Salvadoran food, this is the spot!!! Food was delicious and their service was amazing, Margaritas are pricey but worth it!! I’d go back to experience this kind of service!

This is the second time that I have had issues with this place, I have stopped going there since one time I order to go, and when I was at home ready to eat my food on the cabbage for the pupusas I found a fake nail, then this time we did dine in and my daughter's dish was chicken breast and the chicken was uncooked so dangerous, don't get ne wrong the girls are super nice but they need to be aware of what they do in the kitchen
