Great location. Parking garage is the key. Service was on point and warm. Good place to hang for a bit. Trey did a great job serving us.
Highly recommend visiting Tamarindo for their fantastic Happy Hour menu! (Everyday 3-5:30pm) We made a visit on a weekday so it wasn't busy at all. We brought our baby in a stroller and the restaurant was fairly stroller-friendly, even while sitting at the bar. For drinks we opted for non-alcoholic beverages, Del Sol and Watermelon Zero-Rita. Both were beautiful drinks and so refreshing! For food we got their Elote Avocado Bites, Chicken Street Tacos, Beef Sliders, and Cubano Rolls. Everything was tasty, and my favorites were the Elote Avocado Bites and Cubano Rolls. The avocado bites included large slices of avocado and I loved the tanginess in the Cubano Rolls. The portions were pretty hefty for a happy hour menu and we left stuffed! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive! We found paid parking in the garage behind the restaurant.
We had such a good time! We ordered the guacamole and it was surprisingly delicious. The pomegranate mixed in is such a unique touch and adds a little sweetness that works really well. For food, the chicken burrito was super filling and packed with chicken, rice, and beans, topped with avocado and served wet style. Really comforting and flavorful. The beef tacos were my personal favorite though. They were so flavorful with a creamy sauce on top that made them stand out. We also tried the ceviche appetizer which came with plantain chips and tasted very fresh and bright. They even have kids meals, and the chicken taco with rice and beans was perfect for a simple option. The vibe here is super fun and relaxed and it's just a short walk from the ocean, which makes it feel like a perfect coastal stop. The patio seating area is also really nice if you want to sit outside and enjoy the weather. Overall, great food, great atmosphere, and a spot I'd definitely come back to.
I took my friend here to celebrate his birthday. This is a more elevated Mexican restaurant that is very trendy and has a beautiful view of downtown Del Mar (and the ocean if you walk up the stairs). If you like spicy, the complimentary salsa (and chips) has a nice kick to it. We ordered the octopus and shrimp tacos to share, and grabbed one of each. The kale coleslaw that came with the tacos was light and citrusy, which I really loved. The rice and black bean were extra, we only ordered one plate that included these. Our server brought out churros with a cool sparkly candle to celebrate the special occasion. While I appreciated how the waiter read my lips "birthday boy" when my friend wasn't looking, I was a bit disappointed the iced tea refill that I requested never came. To be fair, the restaurant was packed during lunch on a week day and he did his best. This restaurant was a bit pricey, but it has prime real estate in the heart of downtown Del Mar, so the price is reflected in the location. For those looking for bargain tacos, this is not the place. I spent over $70 dollars for 4 tacos, a coke, and an iced tea (this included a 25% gratuity).
I recently visited Tamarindo Del Mar and had a really enjoyable experience. The vibes here are great and the atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming from the moment you arrive. The outside patio is especially pleasant and makes for a great place to sit, enjoy your meal, and take in the fresh ocean air. Being so close to the ocean really adds to the experience and gives the whole place a laid back coastal feel. The menu features Mexican and Latin fusion food with some creative and flavorful options. Everything I tried felt thoughtfully prepared and well balanced. The cucumber margarita was incredibly refreshing with a bright cucumber flavor and just the right touch of sweetness. It was crisp, light, and perfect for the setting. The seaside molcajete was a standout dish for me. It is a hearty seafood stew served bubbling hot and packed with different kinds of seafood. If you enjoy seafood, this is definitely something worth ordering. The Baja fish tacos were also very satisfying with thick pieces of fish that were flaky and flavorful. It is a simple dish but done very well. I also tried the chicken enchiladas which came as a comforting plate with a little bit of everything. The chicken was tender and the dish had a rich and satisfying flavor. Overall Tamarindo Del Mar is a great spot if you are looking for Mexican and Latin inspired dishes in a relaxed coastal setting. Between the pleasant patio, the ocean nearby, and the flavorful food, it is definitely a place I would come back to.
Lively, contemporary, Latin restaurant with a great patio and full bar. The staff was friendly, attentive and efficient. The menu has familiar Mexican food favorites, but also some elevated dishes with a creative twist. We enjoyed the Octopus+Mahi Tacos. Great depth of flavor, texture and spice. The Tamarind Lemonade was refreshing
I thought the food was good, but not outstanding. We had dinner on a Sunday evening and sat in their patio. I shared the elote spears with my friends. These were creative, but very spicy. For my entree, I had the mahi-mahi and octopus tacos and the cucumber margarita. The tacos needed more flavor and the margarita needed more sweetness. The waitress delivered the wrong order to one person in my group, Other than this mishap, she was nice and friendly. The restaurant had lively music and the ambiance was upbeat.
I want to start off by saying it's a cute spot with a nice view of the sunset! It was my first time here per my friend's recommendation but I will say the staff kinda made me feel rushed when it came to ordering and checking in on me and my party. I didn't mind the food, I really enjoyed the free chips and salsa! I also did like my mahi mahi tacos with the side of rice (no beans for me) & my coco island breeze drink (non-alcoholic)! I would definitely want to come again just for the views and food alone!
Very cute Mexican restaurant in Del Mar with outdoor or indoor seating. They're located in a shopping center which has a parking garage (first hour is free, then $3 every 30 mins). They bring complimentary chips and salsa as soon as u sit down. Margaritas we're good too I really liked the watermelon cold pressed marg. I ordered the rolled taco appetizer which was really good (they have the option of chicken or potato for it). Nice stop before going to the beach or bar hopping nearby, plenty of good places around and there's a very good ice cream shop nextdoor.
My girlfriend and I found this spot on Christmas Eve. Being Christmas Eve, we did not expect many places to be open but boy was Tamarindo a fun time. Food was delicious, but be warned they do bring some heat! We started with the elote, which was great for me but a bit on the spicy side. The server was very understanding when we notified that we couldn't do too spicy, which they were very friendly and accommodating. The aguachiles and seafood stew was flavored perfectly and serving size was generous. Glad we found this spot!
We brought family that was visiting to this spot, and they were not disappointed. The Decor was cute and fun. Lots of seating inside with a little outside covered patio to also sit at. The staff were nice and attentive. Ian was the best server! He came and took our drink order right away and kept our drinks coming! He recommended we get the short ribs and WOW. They were so tender and flavorful! We also ordered the chicken quesadilla appetizer. There was a crispy cheese layer on the outside that added a good crunch. It paired well with the white lime salsa and fresh tomato salsa. I would recommend if you stop by to definitely make a reservation! It's nice for a big party and have food with a view!
I suggested that my team come here for a business lunch after having a great business dinner here months ago. There is easy, reasonably priced parking available in the nearby parking garage. We chose to sit inside because it was slightly drizzly but they have a great patio. The service was solid and attentive. The stars of the show were the elote and also the guacamole with pomegranate seeds. I had the grilled shrimp skewers entree-- tasty! Many of my colleagues got one of the lunch special deals. Everyone seemed pretty satisfied with their food. The one change that I would make is their Arnold Palmer; it tasted "off".
Super cute lunch spot with great drinks and even better food! Max was our server and he was awesome, definitely ask for Max. The shrimp Aguachiles was so good we had to get a second. They are also dog friendly and even have a dog menu. My pup had her first time out and she loved it here, everyone was so kind to her. We will definitely be back.
It's been a while since we ate here. So decided to stop by last weekend. Thankfully it was a bit early for the lunch crowd and we got seated right away. Our waiter, Josiah was very welcoming, pleasant, attentive and professional. We ordered... Cucumber Margarita Colombian Pina Colada Potato rolled tacos Hibiscus beet salad with shrimp Baja Fish Tacos plate with rice/beans. Everything was plated beautifully, was fresh, well spiced, and delicious! The drinks are so good that I can just come by for the drinks and yummy appetizers. They have seating inside and outside. The outside has tables with fire pits and over head heaters on those chilly nights at the beach. If you're visiting or have never eaten here, make plans to come by. You won't regret it read more

This was our second visit, and we came back because we had such a great experience the first time. The food was delicious on our initial visit, so we decided to return to watch the World Cup and enjoy another meal. Unfortunately, this visit didn't quite live up to our first experience. The service was still very good, and that's the main reason I'm giving 3 stars. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. The food was just okay this time around. I'm not sure if something has changed since our last visit, but the quality and flavors weren't as memorable as before. read more

Thank you, Jasmine! We will make sure to pass along your kind words…
Every time we've been here, they've treated us like family. Especially our pup! Super duper dog friendly either inside or on the patio. Always good vibes here and the servers are super kind, especially on major holidays like Mother's Day (we also visited last Sunday and they had a good amount of people come in too but they handled everything so well!) Our food is always so delicious. It is on the pricier side for us but we love the ambiance and view so it kinda makes up for it. The salsa and chips is complementary and is also nice but I wish the chips tasted fresher as they were a little stale (nitpick) The fish and shrimp dishes we get all taste extremely fresh and they always have unique sauces and modern takes on traditional Mexican food. I wish we got more food because it's just that delicious, and definitely some dishes are more substantial than others, but overall we spent about $140 for 4 people and a dog (very appropriate for a 4 meals, a dog meal, and 2 drinks, esp in the area) and left feeling pretty full. Great place to find yourself if you wanna walk off the food you ate too, you're steps away from the beach. We will be coming back. Thanks for always taking care of us Tamarindo! read more

Lovely aesthetic and location too! Servers and hosts were all the sweetest :) We did come in with a reservation on Sat night, but had to wait maybe 10 mins until they got our table. It was a busy night and a lovely vibe in the area so we just walked around while we waited. Not an issue at all. Really creative food and drink menu. Group tried the seasonal Blackberry something margarita and seemed to like it. Elote Spears - 11/10 Unbelievably yum! The corn was soft but still perfectly charred and the combo of sauces and cotija as amazing. Perfect sweet-spicy vibe! Oaxacan Fig Mole - 10/10 Really lovely flavor here! I've heard of Mole sauces sometimes being too strong but this was perfect! Soft chicken (husband said a few pieces he got were overcooked), phenomenal black beans and overall lovely dish. Mahi Mahi Tacos - 10/10 Definitely surprised by the amount of fish in there (and it was yum and perfectly cooked!). Honestly love how simple it was (Grilled Swordfish, Cabbage Mix, Pineapple Pico, Cilantro, Corn Tortilla). None of the extra cheese crisp or aioli and such. A grea great healthy, high protein and lower calorie option. Pineapple pico was a great touch. Chicken Echiladas (Green & Red Sauce) - 9.5/10 Only reason I took off a point is because in comparison with everything else this was fairly normal. Well, now that I think of it, it was actually quite loaded and right amount of cheese and sauce balance. Had leftovers for the next day and it's still tasted lovely! Honestly, I think I preferred the green one over the red one but overall recommending. Crispy Zucchini Tacos - Friend who was vegetarian got this. I was actualy impressed that the place had a veg taco option that wasnt just beans. Really thoughtful. read more

I have been here twice now while visiting from out of state and we've started looking forward to coming here. The service was excellent, and funnily enough, we had the same waiter one year apart who recognized our group as the night went on. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and dishes. They were even able to help accommodate the common allergies at our table with ingredient swap suggestions. It's a smaller dining space so getting reservations for a group was strongly recommended to us. Parking in the nearby garage was easy. read more

Very cute restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Food was ok, nothing really wrong with it, just not memorable. Started with great chips and delicious salsa. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with a fig mole sauce served with white rice and black beans. Unfortunately it was served lukewarm. White rice had zero flavor (although it was advertised as cilantro lime rice), beans were good but nothing special. The enchiladas were filled with nice tender chicken but very little mole. They were garnished with a little bit of lettuce, pico and a tiny bit of sour cream. I didn't taste any cotija cheese. Again, barely warm. Someone in my party ordered the shrimp pasta. It looked delicious. Another ordered the fish and octopus taco plate. She commented that there was very little octopus. Everything was just ok. There was a little mixup in serving two of the orders. One friend ordered rajas enchiladas with the mole sauce and the other ordered shrimp and rajas enchiladas with the verde and rancheros sauces. They were mixed up and it took quite a long time to get the remade enchiladas. No real apology from the server. We also started with the elote spears which were excellent! We had a bunch of empty dirty plates on the table when the entrees were served and had to make a special request to have them removed. Would I return? Probably not. I'm not a fan of lukewarm food and tasteless rice. Too bad because it's a beautiful location. read more
I've been wanting to come here for a hot minute now, and I'm so glad I finally did! It was decorated very cute for the holidays with plenty of nice heat lamps on the patio to keep you warm in the winter months. We came around 8pm and were seated and served promptly. The portions were very large and I was impressed with the food. The queso appetizer (I forgot the name!) was super yummy and served with warm tortillas. Beware it's a heavy one though! The carne asada in the tacos was flavorful, tender, and the tacos were huge, though for the price I do wish they came with rice and beans or something else besides a little thing of slaw. And the rolled tacos, which are technically an appetizer, were very filling and I ended up taking half home and ate them the next day! I'd definitely eat here again in the future. read more

Great ambiance and friendly professional service. We rate this restaurant an overall 3/3.5. We were 4 at the table. 3 ordered Chicken Enchiladas and 1 White Sea Bass. We tried an order of the Elote Spears for starters. Elite Spears were smoky delish accompanied by 3 sauces. Yummy! The enchiladas were on the small side and tasted meh sadly. The sea bass was seared excellently and rested in a chorizo based cauliflower puree beside some potatoes. It was good! Cocktails! We tried their Margarita Tamarindo, and a Watermelon Margarita. No complaints. For the size served and amount of ice, pricey! All in all, we'd had expected more oomph. Great place to gather with friends!! read more

Took a friend here for an early birthday celebration. They were pretty busy for a Tuesday evening! The service was really good and quick the server was super sweet. Loved the patio seating and feeling the fresh breeze being close to the water. The margaritas were really good and flavorful. Loved the chamoy rim on the pineapple margarita and the salt rim for the strawberry margarita. We started with the elote spears which were really good loved the seasoning on charred corn. The tacos were huge! They were really good I got the mahi fish was probably my favorite, it was so fresh and seasoned nicely. It was really nice that they celebrate birthday and surprised my friend with the churro dessert with a sparkler, really nice way to end our girls night! read more

Driving up at night when it's all lit up there's a vibe that you want to see what's going on in the patio or the bar. I appreciate moments after sitting down being served chips + salsa (especially when it's good) and waters without having to ask. The house margarita DELICIOUS. Food was good, wish I would have gone with my gut and ordered the Elote spears. Tried my friend's corn and DAMN it was good. So order them! Which means now I need to come back, so I can devour them. Along with the carne asada. Round two is in the future friends. read more

Tamarindo is a trendy Mexican restaurant and bar located inDel Mar in the Del Mar Plaza with super fun margarita flavors and tasty food. They provide chips and salsa to start your meal off and let me tell you, our daughter could NOT get enough! This spot blew us away with everything we ordered, you can't go wrong but the queso fundido is an absolute MUST (the cheese pull is EVERYTHING)! Tamarindo is a great option to enjoy lunch on the beach with the whole family or for an adult night out We ordered: Queso Fundido Carne Asada plate Kids cheese quesadilla plate The Breeder's Marg with lavender syrup, black salt, and gold flakes Follow @allthingsfoodwithjandm (IG) for more must try San Diego restaurants, date night ideas, food experiences, and kid friendly spots! read more

Tens across the board! Visited here for a work trip and the food did not disappoint. The elote ribs were so good and had a nice spicy kick to them! I also got the Mahi and octopus taco as well as a shrimp taco. They were loaded with ingredients and very delicious. I will say, the octopus was a tad dry and very small amount in that taco so that was a little disappointing. Overall everything was tasty and I will be back when I visit again' read more

From the moment we walked in the staff was welcoming and attentive, and Zach took great care of us throughout the night. The food was outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the cocktails were top notch. The atmosphere is warm and stylish without being pretentious, and the patio is perfect for a relaxing evening in Del Mar. Everything about this place feels thoughtful and elevated.

Tamarindo del Mar serves up some unusual and very tasty Mexican fare. More than just tacos and burritos, Tamarindo serves up a yummy fig mole sauce, which I'm a big fan of. They have a full bar and a nice selection of beers, even a couple of non-alcoholic beers in case you're looking at that. I'm a fan of Tamarindo del Mar. The prices are competitive for the area and I will be back. read more

Stopped by this spot for lunch on a whim and it was such a good find. We were seated right away, which was a great start. The complementary chips and salsa were really good, and the strawberry fresca lemonade was super refreshing. I got the octopus and mahi mahi tacos - they were cooked perfectly and had great flavor without being too heavy. They came with a kale salad on the side that was actually really fresh and tasty. Overall, some of the best tacos I've had in a while. I'll definitely be back! read more
I have been to many different restaurants in this exact same place, none seem to last too long, so I was excited to see when Tamarindo was opening up. I will say that I stopped in for my first time this past weekend and had a nice dinner, although I got very sick from the Ceviche Costa Rica. It's located on the ground floor of a small shopping center in downtown Del Mar. There are multiple levels of parking in the parking garage attached for a small fee, which is what I would suggest to do because street parking is hard to find in this part of town. Inside is extremely large with many different seating options, TVs showing different beaches around San Diego, and a very large and lively bar. Every single table was taken when we stopped in for our 7 PM dinner and there was a line when we were exiting. Our server was very very polite and everything that we ordered arrived pretty quickly. As mentioned the only part of the experience I did not like was the food poisoning from the Ceviche, but the Carne Asada Plate was very good and overall I would give it another chance even though I usually don't after getting sick at a place. The menu is also very large so it has a lot of options on it which makes it easy to try something new during each visit. read more

Do you have a full bar? Wine List?
We offer a full bar, wine list and delicious signature cocktails!
So they have any vegan options?
Yes they do have vegan options. You may need to request no cream sauces but I recommend the bbq corn on the Cobb spears.
Do you have a happy hour?
While we don’t currently offer happy hour, our drinks are some of the most reasonably priced on the block. The All The Loves margarita is one of my personal favorites. :)
