"Mexican Tamardino Del Mar sits next to the sidewalk on the corner of Highway 101 and 15th Street, a perfect perch for people-watching. Try the short rib tamarindo with braised meat and baby kale, along with a wide array of tacos with filling choices like standby carnitas or octopus and mahi. New additions include a robust vegan and vegetarian menu featuring options such as vegan burritos and vegan rejas enchiladas. For the canines, there’s an entire dog menu, so four-legged friends are welcome too. Don’t skip the drinks, which include cold-pressed skinny margaritas and non-alcoholic beverages." - Helen I. Hwang
