   Food was wonderful. Our waiter, Filippe was wonderful, drinks were wonderful. So why one star—the first impression counts. The maitre’d was appalling. We had a reservation through Open Table. When we arrived he tried to put us outside despite the severe thunderstorm warning. Then he tried to put us on a tiny bar table in the bar. Then when I pointed out to him that the restaurant had multiple open tables that we could see, he said ok, but you must leave in one hour. I politely reminded him of our advance reservation and our expectation for a real table. He finally relented and gave us one of the many open tables. It’s insulting. Perhaps someone from Tamayo will follow up with us.

   This was my second visit. Nice walk from the Buell. Not nice enough for outdoor patio, but next visit I'll be outside. Had the Camarones al Chipotle; my new favorite! This is the only place I've found this item. Love, Love the black bean puree! Great service - nice atmosphere - no complaints. Clean restroom!

   We love this restaurant! The dishes are sophisticated but not fussy. The perfect portions left us satisfyingly full but not stuffed before heading to a theater performance. The staff were busy but never left us wanting for anything. Our order came out quickly. We ended up having a relaxed meal but were out in an hour. Perfect for our evening plans.

   We went for brunch as was advertised on the website for the holiday weekend. But there was no brunch on Monday 05/29. The website was very confusing, definitely seemed like they had a special brunch on Monday. We weren’t the only party confused by this either. Food was decent but service was very slow. Over all it was a bummer
   

   Tamayo RestaurantResponded 7 days agoWe take feedback from our guests very seriously and we will be sure to address any discrepancies you experienced regarding our website promotions and our special holiday weekend hours or menu. Our goal is to always give our guests exceptional service and we apologize if there was a miscommunication. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you'll give us another chance to enjoy our brunch in the future.

   We ordered the bottomless brunch, and did not think the quality of the food or the variety of the food options, were worth the price. Especially when something as basic as guacamole was the only thing not included as part of the unlimited food. One of the dishes we ordered was supposed to have a poached egg but it was so over cooked it was practically hard boiled. The location and inside atmosphere seemed great and our server was attentive, so maybe a regular lunch or dinner here would be great. Just wouldn’t recommend the brunch

    The location, ambiance and service were excellent. Our sever and other staff checked on us many times. Food was good but underwhelming. Bottomless brunch is misleading. Guac isn’t included, only basic morning cocktails included. We ordered flavored (highly recommend prickly pear) margaritas. Had two each, 2nd round was a pretty light pour.

    Service was absolutely excellent. Our server was fabulous and all the other people helping out were great. Really excellent service. Unfortunately the food doesn’t match; small portions, very elevated prices. 3 small street tacos were $17. Wife for a Chili Relleno that didn’t have any cheese on it. My skirt steak was great, and the mole enchilada was good, but it was $30 and was a fairly small portion all told. The drinks, though, were fabulous. Caipirinha was beyond awesome. Coin Marg was absolutely spot on. The food just doesn’t match what you’re paying for, so overall not my fav.
    

    Tamayo RestaurantResponded 7 days agoHello Jason, thank you for your glowing review; when it comes to our impeccable service and our fabulous cocktails your feedback is spot on. Our plate style is great for trying different dishes, and packed with flavorful fresh ingredients that are both delicious and filling! We’re disappointed we did not meet expectations on some of your selections. It is our hope that you'll give us another chance to impress in the future.

    Overall, VERY happy we chose to visit Tamayo! I made a reservation, but we were going to be dining early (5pm on a Tuesday) so the restaurant had quite a lot of open tables. That being said- those tables filled up! There seemed to be a lack of urgency from the host to get back to the host stand- wound ip waiting several minutes as he meandered his way back, stopping mid way, along the way- but, we were seated and our server was more eager to check on us. I ordered La Tampiquena (the most expensive item- of course) and it was sooo worth it! Tender skirt steak, seasoned wonderfully!!! Very good (and justified as a splurge, since I have never been here before) My friend ordered the carne asada tacos (3) and said they were delicious. I understand that this is “elegant Mexican” but to charge for beans and rice is always laughable! That’s not a lot of food cost😄 Overall- I have no hesitation with recommending Tamayo! I would say that they could just add beans and rice IF the customer wants- not automatically- as some people wouldn’t want it anyways.
    

    Tamayo RestaurantResponded on May 25, 2023Hello Kris! We're excited to hear you enjoyed your first time at Tamayo. We're honored to see you loved your La Tampiqueña and the delicious carne asada tacos! Our beans and rice are a popular, favorite side dish, and your opinion matters as we are always open to suggestions. It helps us learn how to better serve our guests!

    Great house margarita! # salsas with chips for an appetizer were interesting - my dining partner enjoyed all the salsas:) We had shrimp enchiladas & chicken enchiladas which were fabulous! Our server CJ was terrific but the incredible noise from a huge table of 18 about drowned us out - very difficult to converse.

    The margaritas are tasty, and the food isn’t BAD, it just wasn’t very good, especially for the price. The bacon guacamole was bland, but the salsa is came with was tasty. The birria tacos honestly just didn’t meet my criteria for what a birria taco is (the tortillas weren’t dipped and fried on a griddle like they should be, and there was little/no Oaxaca cheese). The tacos themselves were also small too expensive for what they were. My partner had the short rib, and it was pretty delicious. So maybe I just ordered wrong.

    Food was excellent. We especially liked the tortilla soup and flauta appetizer. Service was attentive without being intrusive.
