Tamayo

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.

Such great food!!!! Loved the guac, corn, chicken rings enchiladas and the tamayo margaritas are fantastic!!! Highly recommend. The tamarind flavor is the perfect touch.Freshly made tortillas. Great staff and food came out quickly. Would love to go back . Also loved this location for walking around, and listening to live music after.

My husband and I came here for lunch on Labor Day hoping they would have their brunch menu but brunch is only Saturday and Sunday mornings. We got there right when the restaurant opened and got sat immediately. Their lunch menu isn't extensive so we were pretty quick to order. Food and drinks came out in a reasonable time. I had the La Tampiquena. Not a fan of beans but the waitress said it was a purée so I gave it a shot and for a person who doesn't like beans, it was pretty good. The steak and mole sauce were the best parts of the dish in my opinions. The guacamole was also delicious! My husband had the Chicken Tinga Enchiladas. He took his first bite and thought it was okay then realized he never tasted the sauce. The sauce is keeeeeey. Without it, it's just a plain enchilada. Overall would say the chicken tinga enchiladas were a solid 8/10. The restaurant itself is huge. Didn't get to see the rooftop bar but will probably be back for brunch!

My girlfriend and I were in the mood for Mexican our first night in Denver and Tamayo hit that spot. Tamayo is a more modern take on Mexican and it was perfect for us. Their cocktails were extraordinary. I ended up getting a drink from their dia de Los muertos menu and a few apps. Everything tasted fresh and hit the spot.

I've done bottomless brunch here twice now and it really is good. They have a large menu and you can either sit back and let your server course it out or you can pick your own dishes which id recommend if you're not looking to dilly dally with fruit plates and potatoes (not to say these aren't delightful because they really are). $50 for two hours all you can eat & drink works for me especially given the fact that two cocktails already puts you halfway there on the price. Service and ambiance are wonderful - we sat outside this time and enjoyed the lovely weather. The plantains are amazing - not enough places have them so i'm always excited to see this on a menu. The flautas are served with some of the prettiest bright pink pickled red onions that make the dish one of my faves. Tacos are great too!! For the dessert portion I loveeee the pan dulche which is essentially a Mexican french toast it's so tasty. Only complaint it the food comes out somewhat room temp - I wouldn't say anything we got was hot or even really warm but hey it's all you can eat and you get what you get. Such a fun spot and fun way of dining and really getting to try a little bit of everything.

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.Service was excellent and would like the opportunity to go back and explore more of the menu as I do think they likely have a lot of winners.

I love this place! Last weekend was our second time trying bottomless brunch and it is amazing!My boyfriend does it with alcohol which is $50. I do without which is $39. But I also get coffee and orange juice which I think are $4 each, so price turns out about the same. We started with bacon, potatoes, plantains, and the fruit bowl and inhaled it all. Then we did the salad and flautas. Then we ordered more bacon and more flautas because it's so delicious. Then we went with the huevos motulenos and the chicken tinga tacos. Fantastic. We thought we were finishing so we went with the pan Dulce. Then the chocolate ice cream. But then my boyfriend somehow got hungry again and had the chicken enchilada. Throughout the meal our server kept my coffee full, and I think my boyfriend had about three or four mimosas then two or three margaritas. There is a two hour time limit, but we only took an hour and a half and ate a ton! Love it!

What a spectacular restaurant on one of the most beautiful streets in downtown Denver. It's on the corner of Larimer and 14th putting you right in the action of Larimer Square. They usually have live music outside in the square in weekends so if you're lucky enough to sit outside, it's a lovely experience. We tried the empanadas, carne asada tacos, al pastor pork tacos, and the Mexican corn. All items were perfectly prepared and full of complex flavors. A delight! The service was fast and friendly. The inside of the restaurant is decorated with modern and sophisticated decor and has a nice vibe. I would definitely go back to this place on my next trip to Denver!

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 GuacamoleCeviche3 tacos: steak, carnitas and chickenA "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.

Went for bottomless brunch. The food was really good, plentiful, and the service was excellent. My one complaint is the drinks were very weak. I had 4 margaritas and never even felt a slight buzz. I normally get buzzed on one margarita if it's a good margarita. This is very heavy on the sweet and sour. The mimosas were extremely heavy on the OJ and light on the champagne. I suspect the non-bottomless brunch drinks are better but Tamayo has lost 7 brunch customers because the brunch is not cheap and I don't need the empty sweet and sour calories.
