About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    We ordered a bonito appetizer. It was fresh and very good. For entree ordered the shrimp and crab enchiladas. The tortillas were fabulous, the sauce was good and the seasoning was tasty. The crab and shrimp inside was average. The noise level was too loud for a relaxing meal. We ordered a side dish of corn that was very tasty! The plate presentation for all food was good. It was hot outside and the restaurant itself was very warm. Overall it was good.

    Tamayo was awesome! The rooftop patio was perfect on a summer evening. The food was unique, upscale, and delicious. We loved the salsa flight, the Tampiquena, Mexican Corn Esquites, and Fresas con Crema! There wasn't anything we ordered that wasn't perfect. Our waitress was great at offering suggestions and had the perfect level of helpfulness but also giving us time to chat. I will definitely be recommending this place to family and friends.

    Food and drinks were great. I thought Tomayo had an interesting take on the Caesar Salad. All the food was very good

    Excellent experience. . .our server was really friendly, explained items well, offered recommendations, and kept us on time for the theater. . .ceviche was a bit more spicy than promised, but brought us some guacamole to help "soften" the spiciness!

    We had dinner with friends who were in town this WE. I’ve never been disappointed with the food or service here, and again the staff delivered. Quesabirria tacos were a good starter. Crab and shrimp enchiladas and grilled chicken in mole were both great entrees that we shared. Churros for dessert we’re excellent. Good pacing of food and server checking in. Never felt rushed. We’ll be back for sure!
