Tamarindo
- Mexican

About this business
Tamarindo traffics in elegant small plates. The kitchen pulls from the very best of regional Mexican cooking to create an eclectic menu that is distinctly Oakland. You'll see items whose names you recognize (tacos, tamales), but the preparations here will always catch you off guard. Fresh ingredients, tried-and-true recipes, and a little Californian rebelliousness go a long way. Brunch is fab.

(2) Although there were 2 tables for our party, they would only do one bill. (3) the servers that bring the food out don't know who gets the dish so you have to do it yourselves. Perhaps they don't speak English? It's annoying. We all drank and ate sever... read more
The only redeeming thing about this place was our server. The host was all of 16ish looking years old and very haughty. He acted annoyed at every interaction. Food was meh. No vegetarian options as main dishes. So vegetarians ear only appetizers? Disappointed. Alcohol? Tequila or wine. That's all. Never going back.
Great place with great ambiance. The quality of the food match with the quality of the decoration of the restaurant. Look up the ceiling and appreciate the "repujado" technique used for that. Nowdays that type of decoration is rare to find, specially here is the US. It can be a little bit noisy on a Saturday night but you will be able to hold a conversation without a problem with some good rock en español in the background.
