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.

Incredible authentic Italian food served by the owners themselves, who talk and share their insights about the menu, food/wine pairings, and the history of the restaurant. Our table for two next to the window in a low key, quite, romantic setting made for a perfect date night. Food was simply delicious and just the right portion. We will be back!
