I have never had a restaurant where I ordered from DoorDash and the food showed up still hot and steaming like I'm dining in! I appreciated that so much. I still wasn't ready for what came next.  I tried the steak first. Speechless. The pork is what I tasted next. Floored. Then the rice and empanada; both were really tasty as well. The portions are good and filling. I can't wait to go back. This place has been on my radar for years, and I'm mad it took me so long to get to this delicious food.

The scrambled eggs with toast the cola champagne and the arepitas i find that the drink, the sweet corn bread and the arepitas we're easy and delicious to eat.However, when it came to the scrambled eggs with toast and the fried cheese, I couldn't do it. You see, they use a lot of salt with this food right here and as a person that used to have really high blood pressure, I couldn't eat it.It made me extremely sick and dizzy.Unfortunately, I have to say with all honesty.If you have high blood pressure, don't eat this food, cause it will literally make you sick. The service was excellent.The ambience was perfect.The only thing is, the food needs to have less salt.Better luck next time.

Our waiter was a superstar- in talking with him he shared he was from Ecuador and made suggestions for our lunch choice. We started with the beef and chicken empanadas- very good- and an order of maduros- ripe plantains. We should have stopped there because I was almost full at that point. For our entrees we chose shrimp mofongo- which we really see in small cities being that it is the national dish of Puerto Rico- and the paella for one. Both were wonderful. I would argue that the size of the paella should be be renamed as a lid of a trashcan serving. It was giant and we barely put a dent in it before asking for a to go box. I highly recommend this spot!

The only thing I'd change is using fresh-caught shrimp to give it more of that seaside flavor. The whole red snapper with coconut sauce was also full of flavor. We really enjoyed the mango and guava juices, and the tres leches dessert was amazing! Definitely a highlight of the meal. Other things we liked: the decor was nice, our waitress was a friendly young lady who made the experience pleasant, and the restroom was very clean. Overall, a solid spot for tasty Latin dishes and a comfortable atmosphere.

Had eaten at Tamarindo about a year ago and had a great experience, but this time was totally…read moredifferent. Went there yesterday with two friends and when we arrived, the restaurant was empty. It took about 10 minutes for somebody to greet us and seat us. We ordered the trio of empanadas, which is one chicken, one cheese and one beef. We asked if we could substitute chicken and no beef and we were told not a problem. 15 minutes after the order was given to the server, she came back and advised us the restaurant had no chicken. This was at the beginning of dinner service not at the end of the night. I then proceeded to order the grouper sandwich and asked for extra tartar sauce. When the grouper sandwich came out was advised that they were out of tartar sauce. After the third bite of the grouper sandwich, it was so disgusting I could not eat anymore. Since the server was not very attentive by the time, someone came over to check on us we had decided we would just get the check and leave. Not sure what happened to this restaurant that had been so great a year ago, but if you don't have chicken at the beginning of dinner service and you can't afford tartar sauce, something is obviously wrong with your business. We will never eat there again! Zero stars given RM & party

It always tastes great and there's nothing wrong there. The service is absolutely horrific. You'll go an entire meal without a drink refill. You can ask for something, but who knows if you'll get it. Multiple times I've ordered a cheese dip without ever receiving it. It hasn't ever been that they are visibly short staffed either. The staff just stands or sits around and really doesn't seem to try. Truly disappointing.
