The Auto Mercado is the big grocery store in Tamarindo. It’s on the northside of town, just past the river. Due to its location past the estuary, it’s not an easy walk, especially with families, so it’s best to drive yourself (if you have a car) or to hire a taxi in town or hail an UBER for a few dollars to take you up there. This grocery store has a great selection of virtually everything you may need. Great produce, meats, fish, fruits, etc as well as a huge selection of staples, snacks, liquor, drinks, health products, and more.
