After reading reviews about this place we decided to go, since they were favorable. The view of the beach was beautiful if you could look past the deck that was falling into the beach. Locals had said it had been like that for a while. We arrived during happy hour and $2 Bacardi flavors were advertised, all but the Bacardi... More

We (mom, teen, 15 and child, 10) were staying at the Boarding House at the top of the hill and the owner recommended this place. We actually came twice - once on a Monday night and once on our last night, a Saturday, when there was a bit of a Security detail. They didn't seem to mind that I had... More

We went to Tamboo twice on our trip. Once for lunch during the day and one time at night to check out the party scene. Both times were horrible and they kept getting worse. Tamboo is very small, the service is horrible and the staff is rude. There is no reason to waste your time or money at Tamboo when... More

We had heard good things about Tamboo so we decided to stop by for lunch. There were 2 adults and 2 children and we were very hungry and we ordered our food right away. The kids had a fish and chips, and the adults had burgers with salads. The food came out right away(always a huge plus in PR) and... More

Unfortunately the deck has fallen into the ocean and the restaurant is boarded up with plywood. Hopefully they will remedy this soon as it isn't very comfortable to sit there and you can't enjoy the beautiful scenery. More

...it's the view on the deck that rocks! Food is greasy, bland, and overpriced for what you get. Order fries if you have to. Someone said the local beer Medalia, is good. It is almost as bad as Lone Star beer in Texas! Sorry, but it tastes like pis_, even when it is ice cold. Just order a Bacardi rum... More

The location is great, the food OK, but the place is surveillance central. I asked a waiter about an unobtrusive camera I noticed on the deck, and was told that the owner had installed over 50 cameras inside, outside, in the kitchen, everywhere. The cameras are on all the time and are recorded. The waiter said this wasn't because of... More

Visited Tamboo in the Summer (off-season). Reasonable food, slow service with 1 waitress for entire place. I don't think they were expecting such a big crowd that night. Food did arrive though and was certainly better than average bar fare. Location is great, right on the beach. I imagine that this place is too crowded in the busy Winter season... More
