Review by Janie I.

November 26, 2024

El Tamarindo offers a delightful dive into Salvadoran cuisine with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. I tried the Pollo al Cilantro and a Loroco con Queso pupusa, both of which were bursting with flavor. The chicken was tender and comforting, while the pupusa, although a bit delayed, was delightful! Service was efficient and friendly, making for an enjoyable dining experience.

Perfect for a casual family outing or brunch with friends. Don’t forget to enjoy a refreshing cocktail while soaking up the vibe! 🌮
