El Tamarindo Coal Fired Pizza — Restaurant in Hallandale Beach

UPDATE 06/23* My parents like this restaurant so I took them there to celebrate their birthdays.

The food was good, the service was excellent and the food arrived quickly.

The chicken parm had a nice taste even though the noodles were cold. My parents said the eggplant parm was good, but the breaded chicken still had small portions.

They put some happy birthday music on and a candle on the tres leches.

Very nice atmosphere and all the servers were great. My parents really enjoyed themselves which was the most important thing for me.

All in all it was a nice evening. ordered a breaded chicken breast. When it first arrived, it looked more like chicken scraps than a chicken breast.

My waitress told me that she needed to ask her supervisor to be able to exchange. I asked another waitress and she was kind enough to exchange.

When I got the second chicken breast, it was dry. The black beans were tasteless. We ordered maduros, tasteless as well. Not sweet at all.

My husband ordered salmon, and that had no flavor either and was dry as well.

I ordered a Cuban coffee and a Tiramisu for dessert. I have to say those were very good. That was the highlight of our dinner.

All in all, the food was terrible. I Will NOT be returning anytime soon. The quality and taste of the food has gone down.

It is not what it used to be. That would explain why the restaurant was not so busy on a...

A while back, had went to a friend's house and they ordered from here for dinner because of the high 4.5 rating with great reviews. For all of us, it was the first time and last time. Our friends live close to the restaurant so they picked it up and when they got back, the food was barely room temperature. The calamari was room temp and bland, the room temp pizzas did not at all look coal fired and looked like regular oven pizza and not cooked enough so our friends threw the pizzas back in the oven. There was a tinfoil-wrapped item which was opened to reveal what one thought was two slices (for 5 people) of sponge cake, but turned out to be just buttered bread, presumably garlic, that seemed really condensed and a bit spongy, perhaps steamed from the tin foil. Eww. My Hawaiian pizza was terrible as there was dollops of sweet marinara sauce all around the pizza like a topping or an afterthought with hardly any sauce actually under the cheese, was overpowering due to lack of consistent sauce.

Almost felt like this was a punishment for not dining in. What could have been a great dinner from what I saw from all the photos and reviews people posted, we just got sub-par luke-warm soggy food that we just felt icky from.

*No images of the others as they were already thrown back in the oven for reheating/cooking by the time I had...

I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a restaurant, and what a delightful discovery it turned out to be! From the moment I perused the menu, I knew I was in for a treat. Each item boasted its own unique flair, and I found myself eager to sample them all.

Having frequented this establishment for the past two years, I can confidently say that the quality of the food has never wavered. Whether it's the succulent main courses or the tantalizing desserts, every dish is crafted with utmost care and attention to detail.

But it's not just the food that keeps me coming back—it's the warm and welcoming atmosphere that greets me every time I step through the door. The staff members have become like family to me, always ready with a friendly smile and a genuine interest in making sure my dining experience is nothing short of exceptional.

If you're looking for a place where you can enjoy delicious food in a cozy and inviting setting, look no further. Trust me, once you've experienced the magic of this place, you'll find yourself coming back time...
