We just found this restaurant Dec 2009 - it's now on our "every year in Lauderdale" list. We ate their not once, but twice during our two weeks. We're from Michigan and find the food prices quite high in Ft lauderdale, but NOT this place. We ordered Skirt steak $13 with 2 side dishes and grilled pork chops with grilled... more

We are locals here in Fort Lauderdale and even though there are a lot of good restaurants, the prices are very high for people who eat out a lot. But we stumbled on El Tarmarindo Cafe and have been very pleased. We have eaten here twice and will be returning for our third visit tomorrow night, taking guest with us.... more

Me and my friend Odette have visied Tamarindo at least 20 times and the food and service has always been excellent. The manager/owner is always there and works hard to make sure things run right..Great hospitality... It is by far one the best Latin American restaurants in the South Florida area. Great food, great service, great prices. You can't go... more

This is one of if not the best Latin Restaurant in Broward County. I am lucky enough to work very close to this restaurant so it is in heavy rotation as a lunch option. The menu is simple but extensive at the same time. It is kind of weird b/c there are true salvadorian staples on the menu, like pupusas... more

Over the past 3 years, I've been here many times because the food is exceptional and exceptionally cheap! (Almost everything is under $15) In fact, my last dinner date was a yacht chef who couldn't stop raving about the food. It looks like an old hamburger stand from the outside, but it's quite classy inside with a romantic decor, tablecloths... more

Love it!

I love this restaurant! They have the best service and churrasco steaks in Broward! When you first sit at a table, someone immediately brings you bread, chimichuri sauce, and water. The waitresses are helpful and explain the dishes if you're confused (the menu is written in Spanish with English subtitles.. fun!) I tried the churrasco steak and it was delicious!... more
