Believe me... you want to order from this restaurant. The ingredients are fresh, the taste is deliciously dynamic. When your partner says, "I didn't know refried beans could be tasty..." there you have it. Best burrito. Best guacamole! Generous servings.

Great portions. Fresh quality. Food still hot after a 40 minute delivery. The 3 Pupusas with the extra generous portion sizes for extra Salsa de Pupusa and Curtido were delicious. The Horchata was pretty tasty but not as smooth in texture as some other places I've tried before. But the next time I'm craving some pupusas, this restaurant has been added to my new favorites list.

Tamarindo is one of my fave restaurants but I was really disappointed by this last order. The Sopa de Pollo was very very salty, the chicken was overcooked and it paled in comparison to the Sopa de Res which is by far my favorite menu item. The Mango Juice was terrible, unfortunately- pretty much mango flavored sugar water. I was expecting a higher quality mango nectar, especially for $6. I tried the Tamal Preparado for the first time and it was actually quite tasty. This could have just been a one-off bad order so I'll go back to the items I know and love in the future.

Platanos Fritos were black not golden like the pic but still tasted ok. The Beef Empanadas are small like 2 inches end to end, a complete ripoff if it wasn't for the buy one order get another for free: So 4 small empanadas for a bit over $10 is ok.
