La Pachanga — Restaurant in Tamarindo

This is easily one of the best restaurants in Tamarindo—possibly the best. Our bartender from Sicily recommended it, and we ended up coming here twice during our five-night stay. The wine selection is excellent, the food is outstanding, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. The staff truly goes above and beyond—every person we encountered was warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about providing top-notch service. You can tell they genuinely care about each guest. The food was phenomenal across the board, and the house bread is honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. We absolutely loved this place and can’t wait...

My wife and I's first trip to Tamarindo, we just happened along La Pachanga's and walked up to look at the menu the staff created us and allowed us to look at their "Specials Board" and what a board of special dishes it is. I think people think its only Italian but they have some great fish and salads. My wife had the Octopus salad and I had the hand made Lobster Ravioli's both were terrific!! We also had the Tuna steak with capers for dinner, and again the food was done to perfections. We are visiting for 6-days and we eat here again before we leave because there are so many good homemade special...

I had high hopes, because we'd heard good things. But unfortunately, This place did not really live up to the hype. It was really overpriced for the quality and amount of food that was served. For instance, five raviolis cost about $22 in US dollars. And they didn't really have much flavor to them at all. And it was like $10 for two slices of bruschetta. That was probably my favorite part of the meal, sadly enough. The drinks were lacking flavor, and I would say you could hard pass on those too. Overall, the friendly staff was probably the biggest upside of this place, but the food left a lot...
