Tamarindos in Mount Kisco is a hidden jewel of Northern Westchester. Tucked next to the Key Bank on East Main Street and just down from the JPM Chase at the corner of East Main and South Moger Avenue, you might not notice it from the street unless you get stuck waiting for the traffic signal. We first realized it was there when we heard upbeat Latin music as we passed by on one of our many walks around Mount Kisco. The delicious aroma of Mexican cuisine wafted around us as we perused the menu they conveniently placed on a stand by the curbside. It was nearly irresistible, but we had to get back home. It took another couple trips before we made it a point to allow enough time for a sit down meal and we were absolutely delighted with the experience. Camarones al ajillo, enchiladas mole and asado de la casa were the main dishes on our first visit. We did takeout a few weeks later and ordered the enchiladas bandera, steak quesadillas and another round of the camarones al ajillo. We sat down again on our third visit a few weeks after that and dove head first into their enchiladas de camaron, while the asado de la casa and camarones al ajillo filled out the rest of our table. Appetizers like their empanadas, coconut shrimp and house wings got us started off each time and we finished off with delicious churros and flan. I could go on and on, but that would only delay your enjoyment of this savory and satisfying blend of authentic flavors and inventive...
Read moreCame here and sat outside. The service was VERY slow. If you have time to kill, its fine, but just you cannot be on any sort of schedule. Server got my drink order wrong (margarita with salt, but it came with tajin) and after the drinks it was a large wait time before the food showed up.
Guacamole - it's fine. Honestly the guac from DeCicco's is better. This tasted bland and lacked that pop of flavor I was looking for.
Margarita - great flavor, dried lime is a nice touch
Calamari - INEDIBLE. It was fried to the point that it was just crunchy bits. There was no discernable calamari in it. We ate very little of this, recommend avoiding.
Fajitas - Here is the biggest problem. Steak fajitas came with SIX (6) slices of steak. Not six chunks, not six pieces, not six sections, six rather thin slices. All this for $30. That is $5 per slice of steak. I understand that prices have increased but that is outrageous.
With all the amazing places Mt. Kisco has to offer, we will never return here. Wanted to give a new place a try, but it was not worth it. Recommend walking a bit further and trying any of the exceptional restaurants just steps away...
Read moreTamarindos seems to be getting better with time, which is pretty impressive since it’s been excellent from the beginning! There is no shortage of Latin and Mexican options in Mount Kisco, but this is is the one you must visit.
Have been coming here for years and it never disappoints - super fresh ingredients, killer drinks, great service. A little higher end than your average, they have some of the reliable basics to choose from but tons of unique and innovative creations too. Beautiful plating and great happy hour prices.
Big parking lot behind the restaurant is easily accessible through their back entrance.
Posting some pictures of visits there over the years. If you haven’t tried Tamarindos...
