    Tamarindo Latin Cuisine - Grouper in coconut sauce

    Tamarindo Latin Cuisine is an absolute gem! I came in craving something savory and left with a full…read moreheart (and belly). I started with the Queso Frito Con Mermelada De Guayaba--crispy fried cheese paired with sweet guava marmalade. It was the perfect balance of salty and sweet, and honestly, I could've eaten a second round. For my main, I had the steak with rice and beans, and it was everything you want in a comfort dish--tender, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. I paired it with a passion fruit mojito, which was refreshing, tropical, and not overly sweet. A perfect sip between bites. But what truly made the night was Nina. She was incredible--tentative, hilarious, and walked us through the entire menu like a seasoned guide with a heart of gold. Her energy was infectious, and she made us feel like family. Speaking of, my friend is Venezuelan and had never been here before, and excited to bring her family from KY to visit because it felt like home. Nina is an absolute gift to this place! If you're looking for bold flavors, warm hospitality, and a place that feels like home with a Latin twist--Tamarindo is it.

    I've eaten at Tamarindo Latin Cuisine before and had a lovely experience, which is why what…read morehappened tonight was such a disappointment. Tonight was my mom's birthday, which also happens to be Valentine's Day. We had a 6:30 pm reservation and arrived a few minutes early. When we checked in, we were told there were 4-5 parties ahead of us and we'd need to wait. Fine. It's a busy night. I totally understood. I suggested we wait at the bar, only to be told they couldn't accommodate guests there. Weird, I thought, so my mom and I waited in the full-to-packed lobby area. For nearly 45 minutes. With a reservation. When we were finally seated, it was immediately clear something was very wrong. No parties were actually eating. Some guests were sitting with empty tables or boxes, clearly finished eating and just waiting to escape. But no food was actually being eaten. We soon learned why. The entire restaurant was being handled by one server, who was also bartending. Once seated, we waited about 20 minutes with no water, no menus for drinks, and no utensils before the server reached us. She was kind, professional, and clearly doing everything she possibly could, but she was completely overwhelmed and unsupported. Drinks took about 30 minutes. We ordered food at the same time. The food never arrived. We watched multiple parties leave without eating. Some may have walked out entirely, and honestly, I don't blame them. We ordered a second round of drinks, still hoping things might turn around. They didn't. By 8:45 pm, more than two hours after our reservation, we were told our food was "coming right out." But at that point, it was simply too late. I paid for our drinks and we left hungry. (And, man, I was looking forward to that mofongo.) This was not the server's fault. She was doing her absolute best under impossible conditions. This was a management failure, full stop. Understaffing a restaurant on Valentine's Day to this degree is not a fluke. It's a decision. It's a shame, because Tamarindo has a thoughtful Caribbean menu and, based on past visits, real potential. But execution matters. Tonight was a complete sh*tshow, and sadly, it's not an experience I'm willing to repeat. I truly hope the server got a stiff drink and a raise. She earned both.

The steak was tasty and tender. I really liked the sausage and pork belly was very good. The empanadas for an appetizer were phenomenal!!! Try Mr Pollo it was delicious!!!

    Mr. Pollo is the kind of place that will pleasantly surprise you. From the moment you walk in,…read moreyou'll notice an impressive menu with plenty of options, but the real standouts are their soup and chicken. The soup is something special--rich, flavorful, and genuinely comforting. It's easy to see why regulars rave about how it feels almost "healing"; it's the perfect start to any meal. As for their chicken, it's juicy, perfectly seasoned, and always fresh. Whether you order a quarter, half, or whole, it's cooked just right and pairs well with classic sides like rice, beans, and plantains. Mr. Pollo does a great job balancing homestyle comfort with Latin American flair, making each bite memorable but not overcomplicated. What really makes Mr. Pollo worth visiting is not just the food, but the vibe. Service is warm and relaxed, and the atmosphere is unfussy--which is perfect when you just want good food without a lot of fanfare. If you're in the mood to try something new, the menu's got plenty of options, but even the basics are done really well. Whether it's a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner, Mr. Pollo hits the mark. Give it a try, especially if you want a meal that feels comforting and satisfying.
