Buy it all. Great service. Not sure they were prepared for us! Ordered 100 empanadas and 100 croquettes!

The food was delicious. Yuca was cooked really well. Chicken bowl was really good. Empanada was good. The tostones were a bit dry and hard.

I'm not Cuban, but two of the three I was with were born in Cuba so of course they know what Cuban…read morefood taste like. The one who suggested this restaurant told the other right upfront that it's the best for this area of North Carolina and it is not Cuban food of Miami. The restaurant was busy, and of course tables are limited because of its size, but the owners were very accommodating and we appreciate that very much There is a back parking lot with three spaces, but they are for pick up only but we were given permission to use one as we had a handicap individual with us. My Cuban sandwich was just fine and tasted just like the one I had in Miami in my opinion as a gringo and everyone finished their meal without sending anything back so I would say the food was pretty good The restaurant is a order at the counter and staff will deliver it to your table. There is one unisex bathroom for All and I'm not sure about everyone else but of course our service dog was allowed. I did see two other dogs so I can only assume that pets are allowed as those two were not marked as service animals at all. I cannot think of anything that would cause me not to give this Restaurant a full five star rating

The food transported me to my childhood in Puerto Rico, the exquisite smell of coffee to the fresh…read morepastelitos... The Cuban sandwich is a great experience of flavor and well done masterpiece... All the personnel welcome you and treat you as part of the family. I truly recommended for Breakfast and for lunch. They have a delicious variety in their menu.

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.
