Pangas Tamarindo in 50309, open JanuaryApril.

Pangas Tamarindo sits along the main thoroughfare leading to the beach town, with direct sightlines to the Pacific coastline and surrounding tropical vegetation.

This restaurant venue offers an open-air setting where ocean breezes and natural light dominate the reception space.

Located 500 meters southwest of Auto Mercado and directly across from El Tesoro, the venue provides an accessible beachfront experience without isolation.

We had our wedding here on 11.23.2025. I found their infamous tree on Pinterest just scrolling for pretty back drops. I realized it was part of a restaurant that also accommodated weddings - it was meant to be from the start. They executed our special day so well. The quality of the food, the venue, the service, the bartenders, LITERALLY EVERYTHING was phenomenal. Elizabeth made sure that our special day went on without any issues! They keep their grounds manicured and you feel like you're stepping into paradise when you walk down that sidewalk. Their facilities are very clean as well! Could not have pictured our day any more perfectly. Thank you to Elizabeth, the staff, and Perennial Weddings for a beautiful day!
