El Tamarindo Cafe II

This is a good restaurant. The food is wonderful, the atmosphere is friendly and the décor is very nice. The service is first class and the owner is always keen to help diners have a great restaurant experience.
It is great value for money and a restaurant which is now one of my regular stops when I am in the area.

This has become one of my new favourite restaurants. My girlfriend and I are on a mission to try new places to have a special dinner on Wednesdays. This sure met our goal! The portions are generous, delicious and prices are good! We will be back!

This place is awesome. Love their salad and the entrée’s are great as well. Always over eat when I go there and that is a good thing. Love their fried plantains. I have never had a bad meal here. Always too full for dessert but someday I will. The servers are so hospitable and want to please. Courteous and friendly. The portions are large and YUMMY. There is a full bar even though we normally go to lunch. So glad my girlfriend told me about it. Great food.

This place is pretty good! The service and food are good. The space is a bit curious. They present as a high end restruant, the décor is half store front and half overly fancy. It makes for a bit of confusion… so focus on the food… it’s good!

Let me start off by saying this place is surprisingly not overcrowded! The vibe is so relaxing with the jazz music and the candlelight. It had a cozy feel. Definitely a nice place for a date night although I was with my sister we still enjoyed it. The ceviche was fresh and delicious! The Lomo Saltado was amazing! The service was friendly and welcoming. Our waiter’s name was Alex. He was so nice and did an amazimg job serving us as well as others in this cozy atmosphere. We got a complimentary dessert wine which was such a sweet ending to a great dining experience. This place is definitely upscale! Cannot wait to go back!

What a wonderful surprise — great food, great service, very reasonable pricing and good wine. Please patronize so this surprising Italian-​Latin American restaurant stays in business for a very long time. If you are tired of mediocre chain restaurants, this is the place to go in Pompano Beach.

Terrible food and a waitress that couldn’t understand my order. Enough Salt for 5 plates. Last time here.

A mish mosh of food that they can’t get consistent. This place need to rethink their business model as a restaurant. Anyone who would say there sushi is good does not know anything about sushi, or are the type to order California rolls only. They serve sushi, Italian and Cuban, can anyone say bad idea… Place has such a weird smell to it, I would never return here again.

Love there sandwiches but the fries are never tasty.
They should really consider making pupusas!

It was Amazing! I can’t believe I’ve driven past here all this time and never stopped it. Let me just say, the atmosphere is very nice, the staff is fun and friendly. The food is totally amazing. I’ve never seen a menu quite like this. You have Mexican, Cuban, Argentina, Asian, Italian and Peruvian! How does one restaurant make all that happen I don’t know but they nailed it! I ordered one of their Pork specials, my friend that brought me here ordered from there Cuban cuisine and loved it. The table next to us ordered Italian I will definitely go back to try the Italian they were raving about it! If you got all I can say is Enjoy!!!

Not sure why it took me so long to try this place out considering I live so close and drive by it almost every day but I came based on all the great Unilocal reviews and the several friends that mentioned I had to come try it out.
The overall experience was very good. The Food, Service, atmosphere, cleanliness of the establishment, the Smiling Wait Staff (Kathy), and the large food portions.
An overall winner.
The following dishes were ordered during this visit.
Thai Salad-​Marinated filet with egg noodles, beef mango, avocado, herbs, and Thai dressing. So good, Very fresh, Tasty and the presentation was spot on, The Thai Dressing taste was amazing.
Ceviche-​a Seafood dish prepared with fresh fish, calamari, shrimp, limes, onions, and fresh cilantro. It was So good I wanted more. Very fresh, Great taste. One suggestion would be to serve it with some type of Chips like plantain or nacho on the side. It was served over Chopped lettuce. Not any issue just a preference for myself. Overall It was very good and I will order again.
Lomo Saltado-​A Traditional Peruvian dish of stir fry marinated strips of sirloin, Served with French fries. I Didn’t know what to expect but this dish was very good and was jam packed with flavor. I will definitely order this meal again. Ginger flavor. The French Fries absorbed all the juices and melted in my mouth which was full of goodness.
Chaufa Rice (Chicken) A Peruvian style fried rice with egg, Chicken, three-​color peppers, bean sprout ginger rice dish.
Way Too Good. Overall this is a must try spot. I will definitely be back again.

Stop in for lunch with my sister. Great food great service. Wonderful atmosphere the staff is always friendly and welcoming. The food here is always delicious! Never disappointed whenever I stop in.

Wow! What a surprise! The food here is excellent. I stumbled across the quiet unassuming place by just driving by. Giving my West Indian heritage I was drawn to the name. This place is well finished and has the ambience of a 4 star NYC restaurant.
The food is amazing. The waiter gave me a free appetizer to let me know I’m in for a treat. I throughly enjoyed every morsel of every bite I ate.
Oh, the waiter… A young guy, knowledgable, and professional.
The prices for quality… perfect! Enjoy fine dining, a delicious varied menu, and a personal boutique restaurant for less than what you would spend on your generic chain restaurant.
Try the wine the owner owns the label!

highly recommended! This place doesnt look like much from outside but it is nicely decorated inside. The food was great! My mother who usually has a tough time finding gluten free foods absolutely loved the Thai Salad. Food was flavorful and the portions were great.
Service was also great. Cordial and professional. I will definitely be coming back here.

Consistently great, value, customer service and FOOD! I must say, I was not excited when invited to go with friends and I read reviews and menu… I am picky and seldom go to the same restaurant 2x. We have been here often. My friends know that speaks volumes for me. Husband loves food and will try anything. He loves the whole snapper, me the sushi and Thai salad.
They are open late, new to us as we live in Boca!
I truly think they have something for everyone… And once you fall in love here try the pizza place down the street! Equally yummy!

Best place for lunch in Lighthouse point! Everything, absolutely everything is great!
Food is from scratch! Service is awesome! I send people here constantly! People are very friendly and they have a huge variety of dishes. My girlfriend does not like Latin food but when I took her here she loved the whole meal! The have outstanding house wine!

Great place!!! outstanding service. The environment is fantastic. The owner and the waitress are extremely helpful. But the best part is the food… DELICIOUS… We are definitely coming back.

Very unusual menu representing at least 3 different South American countries plus Italy!
I went for the El Salvadorian Carne Asada with fried Yucca and Sweet Plantains for my sides. Very, very good!
Wash it all down with Raspberry Ice Tea served freshly brewed just for you in a most unusual glass teapot.
All of this including white table clothes and napkins with impeccable service for less than $ 16.
Amazing! I highly recommend this place for those who want more than just plain old meat and potatoes.

Great restaurant.
Great service.
Nice environment, has roses in the restaurant on each table.
Has nice pictures for food for selection
The waitress is very helpful. And said can change my side dish if I don’t like it. We even get free house wine.

Excellent food.
Great atmosphere.
Great pricing.
Great proportions.
I always get the Chaufa either with chicken or a mix of chicken and steak. It has always been very well presented and tastes amazing and very filling. If you are not super hungry then you could even split that meal.
If you haven’t been here then you should atleast try it.
The inside décor is very well done and everything is really clean. I highly recommend.
