Small plates of creative Mexican fare draw rave reviews from regulars at this bright, bustling eatery. Keep it simple with grilled corn on the cob, garnished with lime, or be more adventurous with shrimp turnovers in tomatillo sauce.

The Scene Minimalist décor with exposed brick walls, a semi-open kitchen and dropped lighting sets the scene at this small restaurant. Dozens of tea light candles -- perched along wall ledges and atop sleek, blonde wooden tables -- cast a soft glow through the flower-filled space. Service is swift, friendly and quick to offer novices spot-on recommendations. The... more

If you're interested in truly tasty Mexican food you have to check out Tamarindo's! The flavor of the meat is without compare. Try the marinated pork with plantains, delicious!! The shrimp tacos are equally good. My only complaint is the size of the portions, there just isn't enough. It leaves you wanting more. If you're going with a large group go early, as it is very small.

Really enjoy the food everytime I go there. I work in the area, so it is a great place to eat. Love the flavor of the meats. You have to try the "carnitas". You should ask for that plate, its not on the menu, but if you are nice :), they will bring you a plate. The place is not big, but the ambience is great. It does get busy, but it is worth the wait. Can't wait to go back and try something... more
