Tamarindo’s Margarita Bar & Cantina

Overcharged for kids meals and the service was poor they take advantage of tourists stay away!

Not much good to say about this place. The chips were stale and NOT warm and for dinner, or I thought was to be dinner, I ordered a burrito that was bad. The meat was overcooked, it was dry and heated too much on the grill. It was served in a basket not on a plate. I asked the manager, who was nice, about it and he said it was bar food. Then why was it listed under dinners? Never again. The beer was served in a room temperature glass, should have been chilled, but I guess that was asking for too much, Save your money and go to Taco Bell,

I had came here looking for a soup (I was hungover) and OMG! That tortilla soup did the trick! It was delicious! It hit the spot! I kid u not, by the end I was already feeling better, the service was very good, would I eat the soup from here again. Of course ! Delicious !

The chicken quesadilla and beef nachos were tasty and freshly prepared at the bar. However, the bar server was overwhelmed working by herself. The bar was crowded with high school classmates reminiscing and renewing friendships. Great music by the band — excellent female singer and musicians. But again bar service blew. She was cranky and got mad at my water order. Thought about calling the bar and placing an order to go. Lol

Went on a motorcycle ride with hubby and we ended up here for some drinks and a couple rounds of pool afterwards. It’s located at the Marriott hotel and so parking is plentiful. We already had eaten so did not get to try any of their food, but menu looks good. They have one pool table and it’s not regulation size but it’s still cool. It takes quarters which we had a hard time getting change so bring some if you want to play, do not understand why they don’t have small change machine or something. Their drinks are strong, I had the lemon drop and they made it just right, other places should take note. Service was nice and they kept our drinks coming.

Good atmosphere. Great selection of beers. Good menu. Just one bad note, I ordered the chicken wings for $ 14 and seven wings came. At $ 2 a wing it REALLY wasn’t worth it. Mediocre at best.

The bar staff and waitresses are very cool and relaxed. Very attentive to a patron’s needs. But almost $ 40 for a steak? I think not sir! The food is somewhat above the average bar type food but wayyyy overpriced. Not bad, but too much for my wallet.

Very disappointed. Sat here for 10 minutes before being noticed. The patio I can’t seat in its a disaster. Tables not cleaned cushions all over the place.
Order a simple salad been here 25 mins still waiting. Like really. Onsite at hotel this will be first and last one. Let me blunt service sucks

The best costumer service at a restaurant I have ever had! Even though the kitchen had just closed they still cooked up an amazing bowl of pasta with chicken and fresh vegetables with an sauce a die for, plus that’s not even on the menu. Definitely one of the best restaurants I have been to. You might anything from the outside but you got to go check it out.

This restaurant is attached to the Marriott hotel on the first level. It seems like a great place to pick up a drink, watch a game and grab some good bites.
The food is mediocre and the service is relatively slow. Our server was nice and quick to receive our order however the kitchen was not pumping food out fast enough. The bar area is a good size and the location would be great for groups.
Would probably not return to this location unless I plan to stay at this hotel again.

When this place was Corrigan’s it sucked. Now it is much better. The wait staff is very friendly and the food is good. They upgraded the TV’s and it is a nice place to watch a game or two. The reason I don’t give this place five stars is because of the prices. A sandwich costs $ 14 which is too pricey for what you get, but I am sure they are aiming for the business traveler crowd.

I am not sure where to begin with this review but I will say this; our waitress did what she could for the situation so thank you for doing that…
I was impressed with how large and open the establishment was when I first arrived to Tamarindo’s. Plenty of booths, full circular bar with comfortable stools, and TVs galore to catch any game from any angle. Even the outdoor patio had a TV for customers outside enjoying the weather and their cigar, cig, e-​vap, etc. Even though this place an an awesome cover, the story that follows with it is crappy.
The number one killer for any business is BAD Customer Service and boy did this place have plenty of that. I am not sure who’s idea it was to only have ONE waitress for the entire restaurant but let me tell you… this should not happen on a Friday night. We were greeted by a bartender when we arrived and we sat down at a table right near him in front of the awesome television displays. I asked him for a menu and he said a waitress will come by with some for you in a little bit. In the mean time though I ordered some drinks for me and my coworkers to enjoy until that happened… drinks were finished and still no sign of a menu or waitress. Went back to the bartender to ask for menus and he said the same thing so I just grabbed the menus that were on the bar top across the way. Looked over everything and I decided on the pork and carne asada tacos with rice and pinto beans. Little did I know that deciding what I wanted to eat was way too early for when/​who I would put my order in with. Thinking if I ordered some more beers I can just have the bartender put in the order for us. Strike one. Finally I see someone come in and greet us at our table a little over an hour after we arrived. She apologized for the long wait and informed us that she is the only one here tonight so things are backed up. Understandable; we order our food and wait… and wait… and wait. almost another hour goes by and we see our waitress with what looks like room service plates and tops. «This cant be real» we thought to ourselves. Oh but it was – and I get that this place is connected to the Marriott but really?! If I wanted room service I would’ve just stayed in my room. Strike two.
Do NOT order the «pork» tacos. I don’t know where or how these things became known as pork but it looked like fried chicken that you heat up from the frozen food aisle in a grocery store. It was completely dried out and inedible – luckily our waitress understood that and marked it off the bill. The carne asada tacos weren’t that bad and at least still had some juiciness left in the meat. Rice and beans were a joke but I ate them just to get some substance in my stomach to absorb the beers I had consumed.
This place needs some help especially if their last call is going to be at 12 (not 2am) which will be before you get your food. So plan wisely

When I saw the 4 stars, I was ready and excited… sorry, I was underwhelmed.
They were unable to handle the crowd and we often had drinks empty for long periods of time. Would benefit from a bit more management oversight and visibility.
On a positive note, they do have a small happy hour menu, however, lacks flavor and character.
CAUTION: very tricky happy hour menu that leads to steep bills once it’s over… yes $ 7 beers. Those are stadium prices.
If given a choice, sorry, can’t go back when there’s better options within walking distance.

Went here last week for the first time. Very friendly staff, great happy hour pricing, plenty of parking and lots of TV’s! Will definitely be back.

Corrigan’s Sport Bar got a whole new make-​over along with the interior of the hotel. Now it’s called Tamrindo’s Margarita Bar and Cantina. I’m a fan of hotel bars. It’s just another way to stay low key and get your drink on. I’m glad Tamarindo’s has a sense of direction or should I say brand with their Cal-​Mex cuisine.
This bar is conveniently located in the east wing portion of the hotel near the gym, which is perfect for the folk who just spent long hours in Marriott’s conference room. Most of the patrons at this bar are hotel guests or business folks nearby. They do have happy hour, but beware, you will still be paying a hefty price for a drink or food since this is in a hotel.
It’s not the fanciest bar around, but it’s a pretty nice hotel sports bar. There are plenty TVs around to catch a game, but not too much to take away your attention from small conversations. The food is OK. It’s overpriced hotel food. I’ve been here a handful of times to celebrate promotions and going away parties. I will say, the service is pretty good especially when they have to put up with a big group of people that I’ve been here with in the past.
When you stop in on a Friday, they usually have complimentary chips and salsa, pop corn and some veggies to snack on. Their margarita’s are top notch, it better be since it’s in their name.
There’s plenty of parking and enough space in their patio area for the smokers and for folks who love be outdoors drinking.
Overall, it’s good place for a casual happy hour with co-​workers.
