Tamayo came highly recommended from not only other Yelpers, but from locals as well. THe restaurant sit on Larimer street and is easily accessible. It was overall a good experience, but you want to level-set what you are getting here. It is an upscale Mexican dining experience - its date night or trendy meet-up level here. This is important, because if you are looking for a traditional Mexican joint, this is not necessarily it. That said, the food was unique and very tasty. We ordered the chips and salsa sampler with multiple types of salsa......again none of these are your typical "salsas" but they all (at least the ones that were not too hot for me!) were very, very tasty. I also ordered the taco trio which came with 3 craft style tacos that were delicious. We were able to walk in and get seated quickly, but the place was packed and we seem to have gotten the last available set - this place is probably worthy of a reservation TBH. The food presentations here are top notch. You are going to get beautiful and tasty food, what you are not going to get is large quantities. The dish sizes are adequate, but if you are walking in famished, probably not the ideal spot for you! I will agree with many locals, this is a great place to check out. read more

I specifically selected dining here while in town due to the fact that Dlena and Tan are my favorite restaurants in DC/NYC. Tamayo met the expectations that they set. Our server was. Extremely friendly and made excellent recommendations. We tried most things on the menu and nothing disappointed. The brunch margaritas were the star of the show with the Fish Taco, huevos rancheros, and French toast coming in a close second. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great brunch while in the Denver area. read more

Tamayo recently had a lot of upgrades. We have been there before and after the changes! I loved the new changes of decor inside and some of the menu changes as well while also staying true to all the things they were known for and good at. I love coming here for brunch. But they also have excellent food for dinner as well. I will be adding more to this as well shortly with more photos. And food details but I wanted to just talk about how much we enjoy Tamayo and their service which is also excellent! read more

The atmosphere and decor were both exquisite and lush. Since we didn't have a reservation, we opted to sit at the bar--so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation if you'd prefer a table. Our bartender, who also served us, was fantastic. We tried the strawberry margarita, frozen margarita, and coin margarita--all were absolutely delicious. The frozen margarita in particular had a smooth, velvety texture that made it not only refreshing but incredibly easy to drink. The skirt steak was truly next level--packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The mushroom enchiladas, smothered in mole, were also rich and satisfying. The pescado tacos were a solid portion, with each one offering about three good bites. The fish was well-seasoned and juicy. Overall, we had a great experience and left wanting to explore more of their menu. read more

This is my first time visiting this restaurant. I went with friends, and we had a great time. Carlos was our waiter and provided excellent service; however, it would be nice if he had a smile so clients would feel a bit welcome. The food was good. I had La Tampiqueña (the meat was delicious and flavorful), and the tortilla soup was okay, but one of my friends ordered butternut Squash soup; this soup was unbelievably tasty. I have never tried a butternut squash soup that was this good ever in my life. It is a must-have next time I visit the restaurant. I will go back again ;) Cost: $$$ Hard to park! read more

Tamayo has a great vibe--stylish décor, warm lighting, and a really welcoming atmosphere. It's definitely the kind of place that feels good to walk into, whether you're out for dinner or just grabbing a drink and a bite. The service was also a highlight--the staff was attentive and friendly from start to finish. I ordered the tacos de pescado along with some chips and salsa. The chips were solid--thin, crunchy, and fresh. I could've kept snacking on them all night. The fish tacos, though, could use a little work. They came out a bit cold, which was disappointing, and the fish itself seemed overcooked--slightly tough and dry. The slaw had potential but tasted off, like the lime in it wasn't very fresh, kind of like that rancid flavor you get from a lime past its prime, which threw the flavor balance a bit. All in all, it was still a pleasant dining experience and I appreciate the great service and ambiance. With a little more attention to the food execution, especially with the fish tacos, this could easily be a five-star spot for me. read more

We stopped in while in the area for a conference and were really impressed by the beautiful décor and welcoming vibe. The guacamole was amazing, the queso fundido was delicious, and the overall atmosphere made it a great spot to relax. I did order the camarones a la diabla, which unfortunately would not recommend. They didn't have much of any flavor, more like lightly seasoned fried shrimp over rice, without any salsa or kick to it that you would be expecting traditionally from that dish. That said, everything else at the table was absolutely delicious! From the guac and queso to the entrées others ordered, the food was flavorful and beautifully presented. read more

I've been to Tamayo a number of times over the years, and at some point I concluded it was an okay experience, but nothing overly impressive. That said, this past year I revisited the restaurant a few times, and I have to say it certainly worked its way up in my mind. First of all, if you haven't done a bottomless brunch here, I definitely recommend grabbing some friends and going for it. I did it with a large group of friends for Cinco De Mayo (and despite the understandably large crowd), it was an awesome experience. Our server was on point, and essentially just handled all of the food. We got to try pretty much everything on the food menu, in portion sizes that made sense for our table size, and we were able to order some of our favorites again. We were stuffed by the time dessert arrived, but managed to enjoy it nevertheless. It was a great experience for the price, and would probably be even better on a normal weekend. (The bottomless drinks that day were a little less ideal, but given some context from our server that undoubtedly had to do with how slammed the restaurant was.) Not long thereafter I went back with a friend for dinner before a show and we got a couple of entrees to share. We enjoyed the skirt steak combination plate (La Tamipquena) as well as the salmon dish. Both were well prepared and flavorful. I have also had the seafood enchiladas before and really enjoyed those. The chips and guac are addictive as well. I will say on a weekend with the high-ceiling acoustics it can get very loud in the space, but it's an enjoyable time. They also have valet parking (for $10 I believe), which given the surrounding area certainly makes things easier. read more

My kiddo and I had a few hours to spare before heading back to the airport. We decided to stop and visit larimer square and we found Tamayo. We sat outside and we enjoyed a delicious filling lunch. It was during the bottomless brunch hours, but we were able to order a la carte. The pozole was very good. I'm typically a red pozole person but this green was delicious. My kiddo was very happy and content with the steak. If you're in the area definitely stop into Tamayo. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is very cute inside! I see why it's always recommended for a date night or birthday. The service we had was very diligent and nice. We ordered the queso fundido and it was delicious!

Very cool atmosphere in a great location. Caught the end of Happy Hour before attending a show at Comedy Works. The food was incredible, both in flavor, and presentation. The drinks were generously poured and the service was excellent. Manny had impeccable timing, allowing us to enjoy the company, but never left us lacking. Highly recommend. Only regret was indulging so much that I was too full to order the mouthwatering steak offerings. Silver lining is that it left us with a reason to go back. read more

My husband and I came here as part of our honeymoon and the food was spectacular! The flautas were a 10/10 and the servers were so kind. The food came out quickly and honestly the vibe in this place is amazing! My husband and I drink non alcoholic so it was super cool to see a small nonalcoholic portion of the menu and the drink he got was so good! They also said they can make any of their margaritas non alcoholic which is pretty cool! read more

Happy hour is stellar! Absolutely loved the fresh fruit margaritas- especially the mango. The strawberry was good too, but the mango was more interesting. Loved the pineapple sage infused margarita as well, but the flavor was a little more subdued than the fresh fruit. We tried the carne asada and the pork carnitas tacos, and while they were good, probably not something we would come back for. The carnita was better than the carne asada. The only thing we really didn't care for was the sangria, they were a little watered down tasting for our preference. Service was excellent and I loved the mix of traditional Spanish hand carved wood and leather with more modern elements. We would absolutely come back for the margaritas again, and to try more of their menu. read more

5 stars A Masterclass in Service and Detail! Tamayo continues to impress, not just with its vibrant flavors and stunning rooftop views, but with the kind of thoughtful service that makes you feel truly seen. During dinner, I casually commented to the table next to me how much I loved their cocktail glasses -- sleek, unique, and just so well-designed. I didn't mention it to our server, just a passing comment... or so I thought. To my surprise, as we were leaving, the manager came over with a cocktail glass just for me! I was completely blown away. That kind of attention to detail -- hearing something that wasn't even directed at them and going out of their way to make the moment special -- is rare and unforgettable. It's the little things that turn a dinner into an experience. Thank you, Tamayo, for making me feel like more than just another guest. You've earned a loyal fan. read more

This place has been on my list for awhile and glad to have finally made it. The staff was very friendly and this spot has a cool atmosphere. There was plenty of places to park. We came on a Monday, had a reservation, but didn't need it. The hostesses greeted me immediately and showed me to a table. We started with the Lomo empanadas, pretty good 6.9/10, the chimichurri was a bit of a let down - more oil and very few herbs. The tortilla soup was also alright, not a lot of chicken and had a strong flavor of tomatoes 7.1/10. For entrees I had the chile relleno which was very good, but a little on the small side. The sauce that was under it was the best part 8/10. My friend had the tacos which he liked a lot, he said they were a 9/10. The sides were good, Mexican corn 8.5/10, mushrooms 8.5/10 and the brussel sprouts with homeade mole were fine 8/10. For dessert we each had the churros, which tasted a little like the oil they were fried in, but paired well with the sauces 7/10. I look forward to coming back, a good place for upscale Mexican food in Denver. read more

I've had heard great things about this restaurant, and now that it was fully renovated and reopened at the beginning of March my friend and I decided to check it out. I made a reservation for 5 pm and got there a bit earlier and they were able to accommodate us. The manager was super welcoming and nice. He offered us to sit either in the main floor or at the terrace. We went for the terrace and it was gorgeous. We then go to greeted by our server Mason (he did so amazing) and explained some thing from the menu (since it was our first time there) and gave us a lot of great recommendations. Being that my friend and I are Mexican, we were a little apprehensive about how the food would taste (cause contrary to popular opinion, Mexican food here in Colorado is not that great). To our surprise, we enjoyed the food, the drinks, and the desserts to the max. We had so much fun eating and drinking, and of course our server Mason did amazing which enhanced the experience, more so cause he was kind enough to celebrate my birthday a bit earlier. I 100% recommend this place and I will visit again when I drive up. read more

Bottomless brunch- don't mind if I do. Haven't been to Tamayo's brunch in a couple of years. The return was epic! For $50 you get all you can eat and drink from a preselected menu. The flautas were delicious. One order comes with 2 full flautas. The chilaquiles were divine- prepared exactly as chilaquiles should be. The crispy bacon was cooked and seasoned to perfection, the breakfast potatoes- omg so good! Finished off the meal with the bread pudding-delicious! I also imbibed in a Bloody Maria to drink and then switched to a margarita to ensure all my tastebuds were satisfied. Will definitely go back and will keep Tamayo on my top list for brunch in Denver! Heads up- if one person does bottomless brunch, everyone in your party at your table must as well. Also, you can do bottomless brunch minus the alcohol for $37. read more

Tamayo was recommended by our hotel. It was easy to get a reservation for our large group. Standouts were spicy mango margs and queso. The guacamole seemed processed with chopped veggies added. I had the mushroom tacos which were just ok IMO.

Having walked by this restaurant several times, and seeing its look, ambience and menu decided to give them a try. I should note that Mexican style cuisine isn't among my top choices. Because of the conference I was attending, I arrived around 330pm ish and was told that I wouldn't have access to the dinner menu (because it wasn't dinner time) but I could have something from their "happy hour" menu. I must admit, I came very close to leaving but having seen their unique dessert offerings (during my research of the restaurant) and learning that I could order my dessert of choice, I thought "why not just get dessert". Along the way, I found a couple of items on the "happy hour" menu that sounded worth ordering. So while I was disappointed that I wouldn't get order what I had come there to try their happy hour menus isn't just beer and chips ! I ordered: Bacon Guacamole Ceviche 3 tacos: steak, carnitas and chicken A "sopes"-which I've never heard of let alone tried previously. And finally Tres leches for dessert. I'm super glad I stayed! I say the food here is a blend of modern, and traditional Mexican cuisine and more importantly super delicious! The bacon guacamole...I could eat that all day long without the chips. Lots of flavor and seemingly made from fresh avocados. The ceviche had amazing balance and not too acidic which is what I expect. The tacos nothing to complain about because they were so good...the "sopes" I'd describe as having a more bread like texture versus tortillas but filled with the same flavors as the steak taco. The Tres leches was a wonderful spongy cake with a kind of berry sauce...just the right sweetness and richness! Exactly what I wanted. To recap I don't know why I couldn't order from their dinner menu, a disappointment for sure... that said, strictly speaking it wasn't truly dinner time (5pm); first time that's ever happened to me...still the food, on their happy hour menu is varied and genuinely delicious...it filled me up and I walked away very satisfied. Service was good, my server had to cover a lot of ground because it was sparsely occupied at the time of my visit but got the job done. I'd recommend the happy hour menu for sure but I do wish I would have had the opportunity to try their full menu. read more

I must say, I was growing disappointed in the Denver food scene, but then I stumbled upon Tamayo in the Cooke historic Larimer District. This place exceeded all of my expectations! The original margarita? Delicious! The guacamole and house made chips? Devine! Perhaps the best guac I've ever had. The Mexican chopped salad? A tangy delight that was mucho delicioso! The Mahi tacos and side of plantains? Outstanding! It was so good I almost slapped myself. And the waitress was so pleasant and friendly that it just accentuated an awesome experience. I don't know when or if I will be back in Denver, but if I find myself here again I definitely have a go-to restaurant! read more

We stopped here for some light bites and we were glad we did. The service was very friendly and attentive. We got some chips and salsa as well as some chicken flautas....the latter, one of the best flautas I've had. The wrapper was lightly fried and very thin and crispy. The chicken was moist and well seasoned. The chips came with a nice green salsa that was spicy, but not too spicy. Overall a nice experience. The place is very big with two different dining area in addition to the bar. Located in Larimer Square, it's a nice place to get some Mexican fare. read more
