Chef Johnny and his partner and wife, Kasie, developed the beverage program balancing top-shelf, native Mexican flavors and agave spirits like raicilla and mezcal, with classic cocktails and a wine list that includes a selection of Mexican, European and American wines overseen by Alteño’s in-house sommelier.

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.
