About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
Tamayo is a true expression of Chef Richard Sandoval’s deep-rooted love for authentic Mexican cuisine, inspired by his abeula and shaped by his childhood in Mexico City. Since 2001, Tamayo has acted as both as a geographical cornerstone of Larimer Square, but also a metaphorical one for Chef Richard. With its history and legacy, Tamayo stands alone, but also acts as a creative incubator for new techniques and campaigns that have reached the world in Chef Sandoval’s locations. We love Denver, and are happy to help support what modern Mexican food means here, as we have for nearly 25 years.

    We had an 8:30 reservation and our waitress seemed annoyed to have to be working “so late”. She was never around and we had to Flag People down to get our drinks and utensils. The food was good but the attitude from our server made us give this place a low rating.

    Great food and perfect portion sizes. Our waitress was excellent. It wasn’t too loud! This lunch was for a casual business meeting and it was perfect for the purpose. I’d come here again outside of business because it was so good. Also a shout out to the restaurant for offering grown-up and thoughtful non alcoholic cocktails!

    Tamayo has become a staple for us before a dcpa show. It's reliable. I'd like to see more variety and enthusiasm in the menu.

    We came for the chicken fajitas only to find out it’s only available for lunch. Disappointed.
