El Chiringuito Reviews
On the beach
Incredible location on the beach. You can't beat the view. Drinks were strong and cold, but pricey. Service was great. We didn't get any food, but the menu was quite extensive.
Our favorite beachfront restaurant in town
Our favorite beachfront restaurant in town. Went twice and loved the gratin mussels and other seafood. But those mussels. Yummm. Our waiter was Orion, and he was great. Charming and attentive. Lobster was delish in a garlic butter sauce.
Not the best but still nice.
This restaurant had a great atmosphere and overall look, but lacked some of the basic necessities of a restaurant. Our food took a very long time to come out, and even when it was coming multiple members of our party were practically done with their
Nice location
Nice location of the beach, clean and nice atmosphere. Food & drinks for the price was okay. Service was slow, remember your on vacation so enjoy the views. One big issue is the constant harassment every 20 seconds by beach venders passing aro
Cooking the catch of the day while making you feel like family.
So we wanted a restaurant to prepare the fish we caught during the day on charters. This restaurant was recommended to us by the charter boat captain and it didn’t disappoint. The staff there was friendly and willing to work with the way you wante
Slow Service. Needs Improvement.
It took over 1/2 hour for them to come to our table...we were close to leaving. Food was OK. We had much better service and food at several other restaurants on the beach.
Dinner on the beach at sunset
Lovely little beach restaurant to enjoy the sunset on our first day in Tamarindo. Adjacent to the Food Truck Park. Great Caparenias!
Great Casual Oceanfront Dining
We unexpectedly ended up here for lunch and had a really nice meal. Whole roasted snapper, tempura squid, Mahi ceviche and a huge bowl of sweet, ripe fruit. The snapper was cooked perfectly, with a well seasoned and crisp skin. Service was great, d
Connect with users posting reservations for El Chiringuito
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with El Chiringuito. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to El Chiringuito at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the El Chiringuito page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at El Chiringuito to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at El Chiringuito!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
