Delicious! Was out for a drive while visiting the area recently was hungry and stumbled on this place. Was seated immediately in a lovely seat outside with warm sunshine on my face (they did offer to pull the shades if needed). Chips and salsa were brought as soon as I was seated and the waitress was ready for my order. Feeling a bit indecisive but hungry I wasn't sure if enchiladas or tacos were the way to go. Based on the recommendation of the waitress I went tacos and opted for one steak one chicken. Didn't have to wait long before being presented with a delicious looking plate of food, which of course I excitedly dug right into. Overall the food was very good but I must say the carne asada was AWESOME! Both had amazing flavors and really didn't seem to lack anything. Didn't try anything else but would highly recommend the carne asada anything (plate or tacos) if In the area.

I haven't been here in awhile since my first visit but this was a good one! We were getting together with some family and everyone had been asking about going here for dinner on a Sunday night. We were easily able to get a reservation and it wasn't too busy even though it was a perfect day outside. We sat inside at a corner booth space which was nice because we had lots of table space. We enjoyed the chips and salsa (probably a little too much) so we did not indulge in any appetizers. We all ordered different entrées but I went with the sea bass as it is my favorite fish to order. Everything was super flavorful and it honestly was the perfect portion, at least for me, I really enjoyed it compared to my last visit. There is a paid lot you can park in below the shopping center in case street parking is difficult. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and we had a great time getting together at this spot.

My friend and I had a great experience here and the location was great being close to the beach. The ambiance is lovely and we sat on the patio and the loved the fires inside the table. There was a great space indoors too with lots of seating. We loved our waitress and she was so easy going and helped us choose the best menu items. Our drinks were very tasty and we enjoyed them! The elote spears were yummy and a bit spicy-- always love something more unique! The chicken enchiladas were amazing and I substituted the sauce for their mole sauce and it wasn't too sweet which was so great. The sea bass was tasty as well and the potatoes, cauliflower and sauce were a perfect addition to this well seasoned and well cooked fish. We liked how the guacamole came out with the ingredients on the sides of the bowl. It was fun mixing them all together ourselves and seeing them all individually. Street parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day or day of the week. We parked in the garage close by on a weekday which was free for the first hour and $3/hour after that. I would recommend checking this place out!

Stopped by yesterday for lunch. Service - 5/5 really good. Very attentive. She had a great smile, very warm demeanor Ambiance - 5/5 we ate outside with heaters over us. Very relaxing vibe Food - 4/5 ordered a beer with arugula and greens. I guess I expected more beets than what was provided since the title began with that. They tasted great so wished they were more of them or maybe mixed into the salad. Queso fundido was the bomb. I should have had this as my entree. It wasn't overly greasy. Enjoyed the pepper strips and sprinkle of onion. Street tacos were ok. The adobado meat was on the bland side. Presentation was on mark. The chips were sprinkled with a flavored salt. They were so tasty

Came for dinner after drinks. Ambiance was ok. Wait staff was great and prices were pretty reasonable. Being on the ground floor, couldn't see much of the oceans. But thankfully every patio table has a small fire pit. Was great for the cold night Food is good. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Chips and salsa was amazing. Their chips are on the thinner side. I'm def coming again.

We had a team outing of 30 people and I was amazed with the service and how they organized it pretty well. Service was really good and food came out quickly also without much wait considering such a big party. Food was amazing, I had the best quesadilla ever, it was crunchy from outside and filling was amazing inside. Zucchini taco, chicken enchiladas was also good. I feel rolled taco could have been little better. I am not a big salad fan, but their beet root salad was really good. Ocean view and the food made our team outing event memorable, everyone loved the food. Thank you tamarindo team for your extraordinary hospitality.
