    Super Bowl Sunday Taco bundle to go!
    K P.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

    I have been avoiding this restaurant because of the low Yelp rating. However, my friend booked…read morethis for a group dinner on a Friday night. It was a great experience. The server was great and attentive. The atmosphere was nice. We sat inside, but the outside was crowded on a beautiful night. The food was wonderful. I had the jerk chicken fajita. It isn't really the traditional jerk chicken, but it is still tasty, cooked perfectly with a good seasoning. The fajita was very good. My kid got the ground beef salad and ended up finishing the entire thing. Others at our table got fish tacos and enjoyed them also. The server came by several times, even on a very busy Friday night. I will definitely come back!

    Food: pretty good. Atmosphere: fabulous. Service? Ah, well…read more.. If I hadn't stood by the kitchen waiting to find our server, and if at least two other employees hadn't asked whether I needed help, we still might not have our food. I try to be careful about leaving poor reviews. It's not always fair because things happen. I've been to El Poquito many times because it's within walking distance, has decent food, and a fantastic atmosphere. About 95% of the time, however, the service is either bad or outright horrendous. This last visit (May 2026): Two of the four of us arrived promptly at 6:45 and ordered chips and salsa. We waited 15-20 minutes for the chips, which seems like a long time--even during the busiest part of the evening--for scooping some chips into a bowl and spooning out some salsa (verde style, and tasty). But seriously, that's a long wait for such a basic order. The other two members of our party arrived around 7:05, and we ordered our meals around 7:15. To be fair, our server was very nice and attentive. He stopped by a few times with the assurance that "the food will be right out." Want to guess what happened next? If your answer was "nothing," you'd be spot on. Around 7:55, I went inside to find our server. Again, he was very nice. I stood near the ordering computer between the bar and the kitchen. Two different employees asked if they could help. I explained how long we had been waiting. One of them--who I think was the manager--disappeared into the kitchen with a "let me go see what's going on." I waited for her to come back with an "it will be right out," but, like our food, she never made it back out of the kitchen. Another waiter (also very nice) found our server, who said, "You don't have your food yet?" He then looked over at the table of three very hungry people (including one 10-year-old) and responded, "Fuck, really?" My reply, somewhat under my breath, was, "Yeah, really." Blah, blah, blah... eventually the food arrived. The manager apologized and removed some drinks from the bill.

Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 4/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The space is vibrant and inviting, with colorful decor that gives it a lively feel. Everything was clean and well kept, and the outdoor seating is a nice bonus, especially in good weather. Service - The staff were very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Service was smooth and efficient, which was perfect since we were on a bit of a time crunch before our show. What We Ordered - Pork Tamale (Good, with flavorful filling) Al Pastor Taco (Easily our favorite, great flavor and well balanced) Chorizo Taco (Good) Grilled Chicken Taco (A bit on the dry side) Barbacoa Taco (Just okay, slightly dry) Lengua Taco (Very good, tender and flavorful) They also offer a nice perk of a free margarita with your meal, which was a pleasant surprise. Final Thoughts - Overall, a really solid spot with great service and a fun atmosphere. While a couple of items were slightly on the dry side, most of the food was very enjoyable. I would definitely come back for another visit.

The grandparents are involved offering their sides to the kids, need extra plates, a To Go container. And always one person in our group is missing their meal, no matter what restaurant we go to. Then the server is back in the kitchen to find out what happened and finally, it arrives. We had an extra layer of chaos since none of us speak Spanish, so some of the special requests were not translating. I ordered a Shrimp Burrito ($12.28 + $3.80 guacamole + $2.60 shrimp) with no red or green sauce on top, but I still wanted the sour cream and guacamole, lettuce and tomato. I received a completely dry burrito. The server said those things were inside. I just ordered a side of sour cream ($2.00 ea - charged for 2?) and we already had guacamole as an appetizer, so it worked out. The restaurant is very bright and colorful, it's a very festive place.
