We went well over a year ago and haven't gone back. Nor will we. When we went last, they had gotten their Liquor License and stopped being a BYOB. They were on the high side of BYOBs before and their food prices went up. Together with the cost of the previously free Margaritas, they more than doubled. Service was still good, though not as personal. Food was also good, but less regional and more generic than before. Ambience was the same. We're not going back, sadly. read more

Check out the lunch specials. Dinner is spectacular and they've done a remarkable job making lunch approachable.

Love the food, service and margarita's every single time I come here. Down to earth, low key vibe with indoor outdoor seating and interesting, unique wall art. I'd like some music, candles in the table and maybe night time festivities in the patio in the summer ( bar, music, do, dancing maybe?) in any event, love love love the place. The owner and staff are lovely. Parking lot makes parking easy. Great deals in taco Tuesday and margarita Wednesday. Feels more authentic than manyunk read more

Food and service is always great. They always take great care with my husband's gluten allergy.

My daughter ordered enchiladas. They were dry and she didn't like it so I asked if she could get something else. They said no so we were stuck with the dry enchiladas and my daughter left hungry. Horrible customer service. Never again. read more

I have not dined at Tamarindos but have been getting take out from there for 4 years. The food is consistently delicious and the staff is alway pleasant, quick and helpful. Way better than your standard bean and rice Mexican food that you find at most restaurants. The menu items are complex, exciting, fresh and playful. Love the fish tacos! read more

I haven't been here in a little while and I am so glad it popped in my mind while I was over this way. The food was even better than I remembered! The potato croquette was delicious and craveable. I had the de carne tacos and the corn tortillas were flavorful and didn't fall apart. My friend had the branzino special and she kept commenting on how well it was cooked and seasoned for a dish that can go over quickly. The servers were attentive without being over bearing. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Love your food and will continue to patronize and recommend but will never order another Margarita. You used to serve great Margaritas!! You need to go back to your old recipe or change the drink name to glass of ice with flavoring. read more

We are regulars at Tamarindo's and have never had a bad meal. We just ordered a taco bundle for the Super Bowl and it was delicious. On a previous occasion, we went out as a family, and enjoy some music and a delicious meal on the patio. Fernando and his family are always warm and inviting. Thank you! read more

Tamarindos Restaurant - Super Bowl Sunday Taco bundle to go! - Mexican Near Me - Flourtown, Pennsylvania

We came here on a Saturday evening with some friends per their recommendation. We had an amazing meal and amazing experience. We were seated right away. Our waiter was high energy and awesome. In fact, all of the people working that night seemed happy and super friendly. He rattled off the specials, poured everyone some free margaritas, and zoomed off and around as he did the entire night. His fun and endless energy made our night even better. I didn't have a margarita myself, but my girlfriend said it packed a punch more than expected for a free one. We ordered the nachos and calamari to start. Both were delicious, but the real test is always the calamari. The squid was tender and not chewy - perfectly cooked. It came with both a red and green sauce. I preferred the green - tangy and perfectly paired with the calamari. I ordered the shiitake salad which was just a basic salad with spinach, mushrooms, avocado, tomatoes, and crispy tortilla strips. What made the salad was the added shrimp. Nicely seasoned and wonderfully tender. I could eat those time and time again. In terms of COVID precautions, the tables were nicely spread out and there was outdoor dining available. The waiters and staff all wore masks the entire time. Friendly, accommodating staff, good food and atmosphere - definitely worth checking out. read more

5 stars: free margaritas. It's delicious and free! 5 stars service. Our waitress was attentive. 5 stars: We got the Carne elote (mole steak) and Cochinitas pibil.(carnita). Both were delicious. Highly recommended. Ask for their homemade hot sauce if you like spicy. The side rice and beans were good also. The only food we miss from Los Angeles was Mexican food. This place definitely helps us fill that void. Definitely will come back again! BTW, their food is Yucatan style. read more

We had dinner here for the first time tonight and had a great experience! The food was exceptional - incredibly flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for high quality Mexican food in the Blue Bell, Ambler, or Flourtown area. We have several well regarded Mexican restaurants closer to us, but we will be making the trip out here more often than not in the future. read more

Food was fabulous, Fresh whole Red snapper perfectly cooked. Calamari, was plentiful, crisps and the accompaniments were fresh + delish.

We are from Las Vegas originally and have eaten all over the world. I was shocked to find this restaurant with the best casual Mexican cuisine I have ever had. Every bite was a new experience. Professional staff. Simple facility. Loved the experience read more

Great authentic Mexican food, good service and atmosphere. Free margaritas with meal, they don't have a liquor license so they serve water glass size free margaritas. read more

The food....especially the tilapia....was phenomenal. The wait staff were also lovely. The restaurant is cheerful and comfortable. A cut above the local family dining options if you want a better meal than the Tex mex down the street. read more

We had amazing food and service our first night at Tamarindos. The nachos, calamari and tortilla soup are fantastic.

Sitting in the outdoor space is very nice. We loved the guacamole and pico de gallo but not so much our meal - whole fish, short ribs and watermelon salad. The salad wasn't a salad. It was some so-so watermelon with a little cheese grated. Not appealing. The fish was supposed to be a white wine, garlic sauce. It was more like chopped and sautéed garlic sitting atop the fish. Not at all what I thought of as a white wine and garlic sauce. Also the fish was battered and fried. The ribs were not very tasty. The free are not very good if you like a good margarita with fresh lime and salt. I wanted to like it a lot more than I or my party of three actually did. read more

When you hear less conversation during your meal and see smiles after each bite...THAT'S A GOOD MEAL! The best way I can describe my meal was VERY FLAVORFUL. I had to make myself stop eating when I was getting full. I'm so glad to have made the last minute decision to come here for dinner. read more

The last time I ate here was a few years ago but if they haven't changed much then I would highly recommend this place. Food was authentic and the owners didn't have a liquid license so they gave u drinks that they didn't charge u for from a big jug. It was great so even while u waited until chatted with others who were waiting. And be prepared to wait cause this place has great reputation. They have since moved to a newer , bigger place as well as they needed to. Highly recommended this place read more

I really love this place and have always had a great meal here. We started off with soup, and I had the Mole Pollo. Chicken so tender and moist and the black beans definitely one of my favorites. My husband had the shrimp fajitas. No leftovers tonight. We were hoping for a leisurely dinner but our entree came when we were half way through the soup. They can't could see I was disappointed but that's it. Of course the margaritas kept us all happy but very disappointed in the service. I'll be back but will not order entree till appetizer done.

The greater Chestnut Hill area is not a hotbed for good Mexican food but one of the best is this contemporary Yucatan Restaurante. It is located right on the Bethlehem Pike in Flourtown in an old stone building with a newer addition. It looks really pretty inside - the art on the walls all comes from the Yucatan Peninsula. What I like best to eat so far here is the Molcajete de Pollo and this dish is the main reason I am rounding up to five stars. It comes sizzling to the table in the traditional Molcajete bowl accompanied by rice, tortillas, and Salsa Roja y Verde. With a molcajete dish, I love to first make and eat my rolled tortillas sandwiches and then when they are finished dine on the remaining juicy chicken & rice directly from the bowl. However you choose to eat it, I don't think you will be disappointed. The service is very friendly and attentive. Tip - In warmer weather, there is a very attractive back patio to eat al fresco. read more

Best food--the chefs choice is speedy but always fabulous! I especially enjoy the duck when it's available!

Had a wonderful authentic Mexican dinner with friends at Tamarindos. The fresh whole fish and salmon meals were outstanding, the vegetables were cooked perfectly, Margaritas were a nice added touch and the Spanish flan was baked to perfection. Our waitress was attentive and the atmosphere lovely. The owner came over to be sure we were perfectly happy with our meal. I look forward to going back when the patio opens. I highly recommend Tamarindoes any night of the week. read more

Prior to the Pandemic, we dined at Tamarindo's a few times and always enjoyed the well-prepared food, outdoor atmosphere, and great service. The take-out food we received tonight was just... bizarre. What struck me most was the complete and total lack of seasoning. On anything. It was like hospital food someone with a heart condition or high blood pressure would be fed. Or like the completely seasonless plate of food made for a child, like a bit of chicken plucked from the pot before the "adult" version is made with tasty ingredients. The fried fish wasn't even salted. Likewise, the chicken had n o t h i n g on it. Not even salt and pepper let alone, acid, heat, herbs, spices? It was plain chicken and difficult to decipher how it was cooked. Beans and rice, plain. The box included 3 salsas, chopped onions/ cilantro, lime wedges and tortillas. I would not be surprised if this made sense to other people and such people would find probably find the bundle plentiful and good. However, It's very weird to me to serve a protein in that way, and anticipate that salsas are enough to flavor or hold a dish together. I won't write Tamarindo's off yet. They truly were one of the few places I enjoyed. I hope when the world returns to normal, so does Tamarindo's. read more

Ill be honest in saying that I struggled with deciding on 2 stars or 3 stars. I went there with a group early on New Years Eve. The positives for me were that the service was good enough, the guitar player, and the free margaritas (even though many in my group thought they were too sour). Other than that.....nothing too memorable. I may be way off base here, but at every Mexican restaurant I have ever been to, you get complimentary chips and salsa, correct? Consider this a warning...if you don't want a surprise charge on your bill, reject the chips and salsa. Its not a small charge either. Many of the items I saw didn't look like they lived up to the hefty price tag. I ordered the steak and chicken fajitas. One of the best parts of ordering fajitas is that they come out sizzling on a skillet. Well....they came out room temperature on a regular plate. At least the 3 small tortillas they gave me were enough. It was a fun night solely because of the group I was with. Id give this place another shot if El Sarape, El Limon, or Tex Mex all happen to shut down for some reason. read more

If you want to beg for a margaritas in a Mexican restaurant, this is your place. The food is good though.

Very good authentic Mexican food! Came here for dinner and got the Carne Elote and my bf got the Carne Asada. Both steaks were melt in your mouth amazing and the banana purée was delicious. Only giving 4 starts instead of 5 because the food was slightly cold, however, I didn't mind it that much because the meal was very tasty! read more

Tried this place on a Sunday night. It was incredible. As a native of Southern California, I am accustomed to great Mexican food. This place has won me over. The staff and atmosphere were second to none. read more

Great food. Authentic Mexican food. Free flowing Margaritas! Great ambience. Recently expanded seating area.

Go for the delicious, authentic Yucatecan food. Stay for the free margaritas, live music, beautiful new outdoor patio, and attentive service. Don't miss the incredibly tender calamari or any of the fresh fish specials. read more

Everything was great from the service, nacho starters to our amazing steak. Highly recommend

If i could give less than one star I would. My family and I came in in a sunny Sunday evening about 5:45. We sat inside and were served water. We were told that someone would be with us soon. The man designated to serve us walked by no less then 3 time before telling us he would be back in a moment. He then ducked back behind the wall again, came out said hello to another group, looked out side, walked back behind the wall again, he did this a total of 5 times while we were there. After not being served for 15 minutes we got up to leave. He asked if everything was ok. We said we can't know because we can't get service. We have a choice. We won't make that choice again. read more
