   Awesome food, the corn elote appetizer was spicy but amazing. Great vibe and friendly service. Good portions.

   We were there early, had a seat right on the street. Nice and comfortable, with a beautiful sunny day. We were at a table that actually had a little baby fireplace in the middle. Had it been cooler in the evening. Service was nearly immediate. Complementary chips and salsa. Unique salty spice on it. I had the mahi-mahi tacos. My companion had a quick margarita which she said was good as well. We went there for the ambience and open air environment, but very much enjoyed the food.

   Thanks so much for the lovely review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the sunny patio, the cozy fire table, and the overall open-air vibe — it’s one of our favorite things about the space too. Glad to hear the mahi-mahi tacos and margarita hit the spot, and we appreciate your kind words about the service and chips. Hope to see you again soon!

   Food and location are great. Our server lacked any personality, never smiled, and generally seemed unhappy to be there (not great when it’s Mother’s Day). I also think charging $3 for an extra three corn tortillas is ridiculous (especially when they messed up the initial order).
   

   Tamarindo Latin Kitchen- Del MarResponded on May 14, 2025

   Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the food and location, but we're sorry the service didn’t meet expectations—especially on Mother’s Day. That’s not the experience we aim to provide. We also understand your frustration about the tortilla charge, especially given the issue with your initial order. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will use it to improve moving forward.

   We are regulars at Tamarindos, but at our lasted adventure tried their new dishes. OMG the Shrimp Pasta and Seabass were amazing. Can’t wait to go again and enjoy these dishes.

    Very cute Latin style, with pleasant servers. We had drinks and appetizers, all of which were highly delicious. The shrimp aguachile was outstanding. Probably gets noisier as the evening goes on, but was very chill at 5-6 pm

    Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the Latin-inspired vibe, friendly service, and especially the drinks and appetizers—great choice with the shrimp aguachile! You're right, things do tend to liven up later in the evening, so we're happy you got to enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere. Hope to see you again soon!
