    Mexican & Latin Fusion is what I needed. It is what you needed, too! It has bold flavors with fresh ingredients. Every bite tasted amazing, only at Tamarindo Del Mar. Enjoy your meal with a beautiful atmosphere at sunny Del Mar, San Diego. On the plus side, it is near the beach. After eating, take a stroll to Del Mar Beach. Here's what I recommend A full menu of cocktail, mocktail, and wine options. I chose the Blueberry Mint Limonada. The sun was out that day, so this was refreshing. Starters • Potato Rolled Tacos | so crispy with the perfect amount of salad to eat it with. • Guacamole | Serrano, Radish, Onion, Cilantro, Queso Fresco, and  Pomegranate The waiter recommends getting this to eat with the Rolled Tacos. This was the perfect duo. • Elote Spears | i just love it when it is served this way. It is beautifully presented. Entrees • Carne Asada Plate | Grilled Skirt Steak, Onion, Corn Salsa, Chimichurri, Black Beans, Cilantro Lime Rice, Flour Tortilla Thiccc cut pieces of Carne asada • Seaside Molcajete | Brazilian seafood stew, Octopus, Mussels, Mahi, Shrimp, cheese, peppers, salsa, and avocado with toasted Telera bread Do not skip out on this. If you love seafood, you would love this. • Octopus + Mahi Tacos | fully loaded tacos. At first, I thought it was one Octopus taco, and the other taco is Mahi, but each taco has both Octopus and Mahi in it. Even better! If you had to pick one from the starter and one from the entree, which duo are you getting?

    We are neighbors and come down to Tamarindo often, but this time missed the mark. The service was not that great when we needed basics, the meat was way overcooked and tough and the overall experience was just fair. It’s always been a favorite so it’s a bummer.

    I’ve been multiple times and I always order the Del Mar margarita. This time I sent my first order back and the replacement wasn’t much better.

    To begin, the service was top notch by the fantastically charismatic, Jo. Second, the food enhanced the atmosphere....or is it the atmosphere enhanced the food? Either way, the combination was perfect. Would absolutely return again.

    Always enjoy our visits to Tamarindo — good food & drink, with lovely ambience. Guac & salsa always on point, magi tacos excellent and tortilla soup delish. Fajitas were the only mild disappointment— too heavy on undercooked onions. Service was outstanding so I want to commend Ashlyn for being so helpful, informative and generally kind as a service pro. Our group of six all commented on how great she was and how she adapted her style to different tables ranging from retirees to families with kids. Give her a raise!!

    Had lunch with 6 people. Everyone was happy with meal generally, including tacos and guacamole. Excellent red sangria, generous pour and delicious, had to request, not on menu! However they tout their mole sauce on the menu, and I ordered the mole enchiladas. Unfortunately I found it to be nearly tasteless sauce, with no discernible hints of chocolate, spices or nut overtones expected. I've been trying mole all around the world over my life, and learned to make it during covid, toasting nuts, seeds, pepper, laborious if done traditionally but big payoff. Making at home avoids the high salt often included by restaurants. Overall food here not salty, but corn chips seemed a little stale. Can't beat location! Right next to An's Hattery ice cream, best ever!
