I cannot say enough about how incredible El Tamarindo café is. We walked here from our hotel on a…read morehot day before embarking on a cruise. We were looking for somewhere to get a very satisfying dinner at a slightly early bird time. We were the first people in the restaurant for dinner and we wondered if the empty place held any bearing on the quality of food. Let me tell you... This was one of the best meals I've ever had while traveling. We were shocked and amazed at the large portions and the incredible flavor. We try to eat high-protein, and that was no problem here. We kept telling the staff to give our compliments to the chef. We had a few drinks, we had a really great long meal, and as we were packing up, more people were flowing in. We had leftovers, but since we were traveling, we couldn't take them with us, so we decided to sit tight until we had finished as much as we could. Worth it!

We only live about 2 miles away from this location. All the special modifications were wrong, the sauces came on top when we asked for them to be on the side. The food itself honestly wasn't very good and the value for the price point was definitely not there. $50 for a Loma Salado that was not very good. The burrata was okay, nothing great for sure.... I would say edible but not very good. Definitely not worth what we spent on the items. Will for sure not be going back.

We came with our own bottle of wine which they were very nice to waive the corking fee. We ordered the skirt steak, ceviche and Cobb salad. The food was delicious. Small portions but very good. No complaints on the food at all. Basic but still good. Our service was not good at all. The waitress was very rude unfortunately. However we still enjoyed our time and happy we came out.

Me giving this place a 2-star review is honestly me being nice. The service was horrible…read more We walked in and the restaurant was nearly empty. We were told to sit anywhere, which was fine, but then we ordered 2 waters and a passion fruit margarita and waited almost 30 minutes just to get them. On top of that, the drink order was wrong. She served us what tasted like salty mango juice -- and I say "juice" because there was absolutely no alcohol in it. Then we ordered a simple meal: a few chicken tacos, pork tacos, and an order of chicharrón. Somehow that still took 30-45 minutes, and the order was missing items when it finally arrived. That's crazy for an order of 4 chicken tacos and 4 pork tacos. The tacos honestly weren't even that good either. The only thing that was actually good was the chicharrón. People always say "good food takes time," and sure, that's understandable when a restaurant is busy. But this place wasn't even halfway full. There were plenty of open tables inside and outside, so the wait made no sense -- especially considering the food wasn't worth it.

There are a lot of staff around the restaurant, we were nicely greeted when we entered but even though it wasn't busy, we weren't immediately seated and after we were, no one came to take our order for quite some time. After we placed our order, the food came out at a good speed but then it took very long for our server to come back and check on us and someone else brought us the check. Our Colombian empanadas were delicious. Crisp crunchy cornmeal on the outside with flavorful filling on the inside. Try it with the tangy spicy sauce. My husband and I shared the Paisa Bowl. It was a good size for 2. Came with delicious sausage, steak, chicharron, fried egg, an arepa, a half piece of avocado, and plantains. My favorite was the sausage and the arepa. Unfortunately our medium rare steak was lukewarm. The flavor was good but wish it was hot like the bowl of beans it came with. The chicharron was a bit dry so it was hard to chew for me. The plantains were perfect. Will come back to try more.

There was a large party that seemed to cause major delays, and we ended up waiting about an hour for our food. Thankfully, the drinks were strong, so we had a great time catching up while we waited. We started with the guacamole, which was incredibly fresh and addictive. I ordered the Fresh Herbs Swai, and although they were out of the coconut rice, the dish was still flavorful and delicious. We also tried the Cuban 4 Leches cake and flan, and both were pretty good. Despite the long wait, this remains one of my favorite low-key spots. The food never disappoints, and I plan to return whenever I'm in the area.

They do not offer lunch specials any more, but one entree will feed you twice, or can be shared. All plates are served with white rice, black beans and fried plantains.

Large spacious location, they always have music playing, but you can have a conversation through it, not a problem.
