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.

    All of our entrees were excellent! Great taste combinations. The guacamole is to die for! We were running late for our reservation due to I-25 traffic, but when I called, they were very gracious and accommodating. The only downsize was that it was very noisy and difficult to converse. Would definitely return again.
