El Tamarindo Mexican Restaurant ·$$

Popular among 18th Street revelers for a pre or post-club dinner, this Salvadoran restaurant provides good food for a good value. Checkered tablecloths and basic décor give the place a somewhat utilitarian feel, but the food is great. Tasty enchiladas, tacos and burritos, served with rice and beans are favorites. Crispy homemade tortilla chips are served with chunky salsa. A full selection of drinks is available from the bar.

I had an overall decent experience. However, I think that I will have to give El Tamarindo once FIFA World Cup 2026 fever dies down because I think the service team was a bit swapped by the number...
