TABÚ

The food was great. The vibe was nice. We came a little early but got the best and nicest service. We left by 1pm. My ribs were tender and marinated to perfection. That was the highlight of all the dishes we tried. Even on the chicken fingers, they were crispy and soft inside.

Nice beachfront restaurant serving okay food. Some of the flavors were a bit weird like the braised short ribs which were overpowered with 5 spice or something similar. Both ceviche and carpaccio needed a little more salt and balancing flavors. Food taste does not meet the high price you pay. The cocktails were excellent 5/5 for sure. Enjoyed the Rosita, which reminded me of a sangria (delicious!) Service was just okay, a little slow but not out of ordinary. Nice views of the beach. Did not need a reservation. Plenty of seating even for larger groups. Beware you’ll have vendors coming up to you ever 10 minutes trying to sell your shirts and other things, which I’m surprised the restaurant allows them on their private property. You’ll also he harassed by flies and other bugs as to be expected on a beach but they give you one of those fly fans that helps somewhat. Don’t forget your bug spray!

My family and I had a magical experience at Tabu with Marcela and team! My brother and dad caught some fish while on a fishing excursion. The captain prepped the fish and recommended Tabu to prepare the filets. It was a great recommendation! The tuna was prepared perfectly. Marcela even added pineapple to the poke just for me! She also turned the amber jack into ceviche and the yummiest fish sticks one has ever tried!!

We ate here several times during our stay. Service with Marcela was great. Food was excellent, especially the Tico breakfast and burgers for lunch. You can’t beat the view of the ocean.

Amazing service! The space is super relaxed, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. I started my morning with an excellent cup of coffee and ended up staying longer because the atmosphere was so pleasant. I treated myself to the mushroom risotto, which was absolutely delicious. One of my favorite experiences in Tamarindo! ☺️✨

Great place - waterfront, best view and vibe for lunch and dinner. Our server, Marcela was attentive and friendly. We had tuna tartare and wings. They were fresh, delicious and wonderful. Highly recommend when you are visiting Tamarindo.

This restaurant is hidden away and such a great spot. My husband and I went here for breakfast on our last day. It’s calm, peaceful, breezy and quiet. They open early so you can get a table right at the front to stare at the ocean at 7am and have nobody else around. The service and the staff are so nice and attentive. I got the huevos rancheros and extra bacon. The huevos rancheros come with a lot of food and the side of bacon is thick and well cooked, with many many strips. My husband got the breakfast burrito and he said it was fantastic. We both got iced drinks, him an iced mocha and me the iced chia. These were both so tasty that we ordered two something my husband and I never do because of how pricey that can be. Loved my breakfast here.

The food and ambiance was outstanding! We ordered the ceviche, tacos, poke and risotto and it was so tasty - truly the best food we've had in Costa Rica so far. Yeffri, our server, was so helpful and kind 🌅 They also have 2 for 1 margaritas from 3:30-5:30pm which are so good! Will definitely come back
