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

We tried the ropa vieja (beef) and pernil (pork). I liked the pernil a lot better - the ropa, though their most popular entree, was a bit bland.

He tried to…read moreorder appetizers, and the woman behind the register said they were out of the first two things he chose. We ended up with the Bolitas de Yuca con Queso as an app. He ordered his entrée: Chayote Rellano. When I tried to order my entrée, the first two things I chose were not available that night. I said to the woman I had never been there before, asked what she might recommend and she tersely and flippantly said, "Throw a dart." I could hear the impatience in her voice; she couldn't be bothered to make a suggestion. I was out of ideas so I quickly chose the Cubano. We took our order table marker and found a seat. The ambience left a lot to be desired; the tables and chairs were cheap, and there wasn't much decor. Our appetizer was delivered at the same time as my entrée. The bolitas were actually tasty; however, I wanted to try my sandwich when it was hot but felt it would be rude to start before my friend's entrée arrived. The kitchen's timing was terrible. Eventually my companion's entrée arrived, and he was happy with his dinner. My Cubano was very unimpressive. The flavor was bland. Our drinks - sangria - tasted like there was no alcohol in them. Overall, we spent over $70 for 2 dinners, an appetizer and 2 drinks, and I was tremendously disappointed. With unimpressive food and high prices, I will have a hard time giving them a second chance.
