$$ Tamarindo Spanish

About

A beachside eatery best loved for sunset — happy-hour buy-one-get-one drinks, a great view, and prices that make it worth it. The menu ranges from poke bowls and tacos to pizza and plenty of seafood, and the calamari gets a specific nod. Food lands as solid rather than remarkable, and service can be slow, but the beachfront setting and value keep people happy at golden hour.

Food was pretty good. We were definitely looking for tacos and got what we were wanting. Just wished the shrimp was seasoned. But that could’ve been our error. Price alone made it worth it. Very inexpensive for a great view and good food!
