Editorial Review

The low-key, casual atmosphere attracts a diverse crew: Adams Morgan neighbors, Latino families and folks out on an inexpensive date.

The menu is huge: everything from yummy appetizers such as chile con queso and the crab and shrimp quesadilla to huge "El Tamarindo favorites" like steak al camaron (served with grilled shrimp, rice and beans) or chicken fajitas. El Tamarindo also has an ample huevos (eggs) portion on the menu and a selection of los mariscos (seafood).

no authentic mexican food

Posted by leolugo | May 21, 2009 | Mark as Inappropriate

good food if you are coming back from the club drunk, other than than average tex mex style food (not real mexican). Authentic salvadorian food if you like pupusas, however.

Average Mexican

I will say that the sangria was excellent, but the food was pretty average/typical Mexican. Not bad, but not fantastic either. The service was very good, and overall I would recommend it as a decent neighborhood place.
