    we always love our time at Puesto, the food is very good and we very much appreciate their attention to food allergies! Everyone in the family can always find something delicious to eat! Often it is very energetic, so not the serious conversation type of place. Staff is very friendly and goes out of the way to ensure you have a great meal. Looking forward to going back!

    The food and service are consistently good here. You know how you take your out-of-town friends to your favorite place and then disaster strikes. Well, never happened to us even once at Tamarindo! People pickup our check and thank us for taking them there. The Elote, Guac, Zucchini tacos are a must have. The Molcahete if you’re into seafood.

    Maybe it’s because it was a Sunday but we waited about 20 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was about 25% full. Once seated, the service was good and four of the five dishes we ordered were very good and reasonably priced. Interesting food combinations but not the place to go to if you want a salad.
