Tamarindo Restaurant Review

Here it is, after 3 trips and lots of tequila:

Tamarindo Restaurant Review

Lazy Wave - just past High Tide surf shop
4.5/5
AWESOME - urban kind of lounge set in a jungle. Good thai/eastern blend with fresh local fish. Great drinks, great atmosphere, good music if you're under 40.

Tico Restaurant next to the alley in the circle
4/5
AWESOME - best tico resto in Tamarindo.

Frutas Tropicales (across from Witches Rock Surf Camp)
3.5/5
Great tico food, a little rough looking but friendly and cheap

Pescadore Numero Uno (On the beach after the circle)
4/5
Excellent and cheap fresh fish, great service, kind of rough outdoor cafe.


Stella's
3.5/5
Up the hill from High Tide surf shop. Very good, upscale-ish but reasonable. Like the Pescadore better.

Dragonfly (dirt road behind High Tide)
2.5/5
High end-ish, watered down Americanized food. Terrible sushi with not bad fish.

Witches Rock Surf Camp
3.9/5
Great happy hour, tex/mex food but very good and pretty cheap. Good atmosphere for a younger crowd.




Other Notable Places:

Lolas (Avallenas)

Very nice place for drinks, didn't eat there but I heard it was good. There's a huge pig named Lola that lives there.
