El Tamarindo Cafe

I read the reviews and lots are bad. I have to say my experience with this first visit was pleasant and the food tasted great if I'm ever back in the area I would definitely be going back. As for the different menus and menu prices I didn't see that but will keep a lookout. The one thing I have to say is $10. For flan is ridiculous even though it was good.

I went right before closing and they still provided excellent friendly service. Very clean and well run. I got tostones con lechon, pork tostones. The portion for an appetizer was really big, the huge tostones were loaded with pulled pork, and delicious as well. I also ordered a cortado, very good coffee and nice presentation. The friendly attentive service reañly made me feel welcome, great place!

Authentic Latin Flavors Await at El Tamarindo Café: A Culinary Delight in Fort Lauderdale Tamarindo Café holds a special place in my heart as it was the first restaurant I visited upon arriving in Florida. Having spent years in Northern Virginia, finding Latin cuisine that truly satisfied my taste buds was a challenge until I discovered Tamarindo Café. This cozy café-style restaurant offers a relaxed atmosphere where locals gather to savor their favorite dishes. Speaking of favorites, the Chicken Parmesan is an absolute delight. It has become my go-to dish, and I have yet to find a more delicious version anywhere else in the Fort Lauderdale area. One of the highlights of Tamarindo Café is its convenient parking, ensuring hassle-free visits. I have never had to make a reservation, which adds to the overall ease of dining here. While the food is unquestionably exquisite, I must mention that the cocktails are average, and in some cases, a bit pricey. During my recent visit, I ordered a Ron DonQ with Coca Cola, and to my surprise, it was priced at $15. This felt exceedingly high and didn't quite justify the cost. Therefore, I have learned that when I visit this restaurant, I choose to focus solely on the outstanding food and refrain from ordering alcoholic beverages. In summary, Tamarindo Café is a hidden gem that truly delivers authentic Latin flavors. From their mouthwatering Chicken Parmesan to the inviting ambiance, this restaurant offers an experience that stands out. While the cocktails may be average and slightly expensive, I find solace in knowing that a remarkable culinary adventure awaits me every time I dine here.

This restaurant is really really good. Do not be fooled by outward appearances. Inside is immaculate and blew me away. Theirs is a high level of customer service. The dining and the drinks are quite fine and super fancy. Their happy hour is dope as hell with a 2 for one feature. The roast chicken is falling off the bone. The spices are on point. The staff is so pleasant and the environment is very welcoming. Me being a New Yorker I’m super hard on my critique of restaurants. This is my new home away from home when i do not feel like cooking and want to be pampered a little bit. And the ambiance music just gives it a really nice touch. As a spiritualist this place is uplifting and relaxing. It definitely feels like a safe space and a place where I can trust the team. I love it here. Me and my fiancé will most certainly be coming back again and again.
