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.

    Great service! Tasty apps and filling entrees! Lively atmosphere too; classic margaritas a little too “triple-sec”y but a great dinner otherwise.

    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.

Providing exceptional service is one of our top priorities, and it sounds like we fell short during your visit. We will review this incident with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
