Tamarindos is a cozy Mexican restaurant near Blue Bell that specializes in regional Yucatan dishes. The menu features a variety of options, including a breaded brisket appetizer, mole pato, and a dish with sliced duck and pineapple. Customers enjoy the very light mole, which has a subtle heat and complex spices, as well as the homemade salsa with chips. The restaurant offers rice and refried black beans cooked to perfection, and the whole fried sea bass topped with a homemade garlic and lime sauce is a popular choice. Recently, a special bowl with three cheeses, shrimp, steak, chicken, and chorizo received high praise for its deliciousness. The Barbacoa plate is also amazing and very filling, and the chicken with mole and chorizo enchiladas are delicious.
The staff is friendly, accommodating, and attentive to detail, ensuring all guests, including larger parties, are well taken care of. The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free needs. The dining area is large and on the ground level, providing easy wheelchair accessibility. Tamarindos can handle food allergies and restrictions and offers vegetarian and vegan options, with many gluten free options too. The atmosphere is relaxing, festive, and comfortable, making it a good place for group gatherings or celebrations, especially with the great patio setup and large outdoor seating area. Prices are reasonable, particularly since it is a BYOB establishment, and there are daily specials and now a full bar, making it a great spot for dinner any night of the week.
Customers love the food and find the ambience very relaxing, with interesting wall art. Service and drinks are consistently good, although some mention that the margaritas could be better, suggesting the restaurant consider returning to its old recipe or changing the drink name to a simple glass of ice with flavoring. The restaurant's professional staff and simple facility create a great casual Mexican experience. Many find it to be the best casual Mexican cuisine they've had, even compared to places in Mexico or around the world, and wish more people knew about Tamarindos.
