“This is a neighborhood favorite of mine, it never disappoints. Huge pitchers of margaritas, and excellent, inexpensive food are highlights. Good service and an unpretentious atmosphere make it a great place for a casual dinner any night of the week. It is also convenient to the U Street bars and Adams Morgan.” –Allie S.
“El Tamarindo is just up the street from Lauriol Plaza and yet it enjoys none of the hype or accolades of its famous counterpart. El Tam truly is an underappreciated gem on U Street... El Tam consistently delivers strong margaritas and delicious Mexican food at any hour!” –Sarahkp
“I finally found a chile relleno to love! And a chorizo taco. And a succulent pescado frito. And great frijoles, arroz, and guacamole. And pupusas, enchiladas, steak, shrimp, and heuevos. *sigh* Um, why didn't I come here sooner? All those wasted meals in bad Tex-Mex joints all over the district when I could have been eating here? Well, now I know. What with the friendly service, free wi-fi, insane hours, and the pending patio seating, El Tamarindo is pretty much an all day, every day, year-round celebration of the good things in life. With a tequila on the side.” –Aine F.
