Tamarind Thai - La Mesa

If you enjoy eating a meal so sweet that it tastes like candy, then this place is for you. I have a few go-to spots for great Thai, but I was in the neighborhood and tried out the pad see ew just a little spicy. It was so sugary that I threw it out after a few bites. I know this dish is often sweetened, but it was REALLY sweet, like dessert sweet, and if it contained eggs, I couldn 't find them. The inside of the restaurant is clean and nicely situated, and the staff were attentive and friendly, but the food ... pass.

The last two times we have eaten there, the service has been deplorable. Tonight, they forgot my order while food was served for the other three at our table. I couldn’t partake in the shard Ed food as it’s too spicy so I waited. Halfway through their meal we found out they forgot it. That’s not all. The last two times, never did our waitress stop by the table to ask us if all was ok or if we needed anything……. Water at the least.I don’t know what’s going on here lately with their service. The foods good but unless they correct their young waitress to actually wait on tables,I doubt I’ll eat in again.

Best curry place with best protein options- real or mock duck my favorites! Good flavors! Basil duck is delicious!! Really recommend this place Vegetarian options: Just discuss it with the staff many veggies choices

Pictured: Satay Chicken, Panang Curry (with chicken), and Crispy Calamari.Service was great, only one person working for dinner doing to go’s and dine ins. Didn’t get her name but she was very friendly!Ambience was very cozy.Panang Curry was amazing!! I was asked for a spiciness level between 1-10 and I chose 6. It was spicier than I thought it would be but still great flavor. Crispy Calamari was good. Also comes with fried veggies. Satay Chicken was also good.Will be coming back!

Ilwe were amazed by the taste of their food. They have a wide variety of plates and soups. Will definitely be
