Guidebook for Tamarindo
Food Scene
I know it sounds crazy, but the best Eastern Mediterranean food in Costa Rica is at this little joint in Tamarindo. The Chicken Shawarma and their fried Eggplant are my favorites, but you can not go wrong with the hummus and pita bread. They also have a great Lamb Kebab. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a different kind of food experience.

Good food but I usually go there for the sunset because ut is right on the beach and has a great sunset view as the boats come in.

Drinks & Nightlife
If you want a taste of authentic night life that is outside the tourist bars near the beach, you need to visit Villa Costa. It is located in the neighboring village of Villareal and you will either need to drive or take a taxi. They have karaoke nights, disco nights and live music. It is less expensive to drink here and the food is local, plentiful and good. I like getting their mixed meat platter or their arros con pollo, rice with chicken. Might be the best I have ever had in Costa Rica. If you like beer, then order your beer by the 'baldazo', which is a bucket of beer with six in it with ice and limes.

Best Mojito in town, 2 for one all day. Bring a friend cause they're frozen and don't stay that way long! Just past the Super Compro, across the street from the taxi stand in another little food court

Arts & Culture
Tamarindo is a great place to visit year round and it has something for every member of the family and age group. For this reason, people come here to enjoy the sun, the surf, the food and the adventures. Why not also learn the language? CSI is the best language school in the area and has been teaching students from 2 to 99 how to speak Spanish for over 15 years. They are located right on the beach and have local, professional teachers and first class curriculum. During the summers they also have family, children and teen camps. Take a vacation and come back with more than great memories; come back speaking Spanish! They also have their own surf institute, so you can take surf lessons too.
