A message from the host:  "El Tamarindo" is an inexpensive (entrees ca. $9.00-13.00) restaurant in "happening" Adams Morgan.

Here are excerpts from reviews on the web:
- Visiting El Tamarindo, you'll find an eatery that offers Latin American and Mexican cuisine
- Excellent food, great friendly staff and good art
- When a friend from New Mexico raves about the pupusas at El Tamarindo, we know something is afoot
- For filling and cheap Mexican and Salvadoran food and a tart margarita on the rocks with salt, head straight to El Tamarindo.

You get the idea!

El Tamarindo is open until the wee hours to accommodate the Adams Morgan club crowd, but it's a Monday night so let's meet at 6:30 p.m.

Please RSVP to me by COB on Friday, March 10.  Hope to see you there. - Betty Landesman
