We tried the bottomless menu, which was a nice way to sample all the dishes. The food was good overall, though some items needed seasoning—no salt, pepper, or sauces were offered, and the chicken was dry. Dessert was the highlight and very tasty. The service wasn’t that great either.
Also, double-check your bill; ours initially came overcharged.

Stopped for a mid-afternoon bite & was alerted that they had a very limited menu until dinner. We stayed, it was loud in back as a large group was wrapping up a brunch party.
We ordered guacamole & empanadas.
Both were good. Service was excellent.

I really enjoyed Tamayo, enough so I went there twice in a week. Started with the Tamayo margarita that has a great balance sweet sour as I’m one to shy away from sweet drinks. The guacamole with pork belly had a nice balance of tartness to take care of the richness. Quesabirria were excellent elevated version. Good michelada as well

If you’re looking for an elevated, vibrant Mexican dining experience right in the heart of Larimer Square, Tamayo by Chef Richard Sandoval is a standout. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance of modern elegance and welcoming warmth. The décor is polished and stylish, and there’s a rooftop deck that gives the space a fresh, open feel.
Chef Sandoval clearly brings his passion and heritage into every dish, blending bold, authentic Mexican flavors with creative presentation and modern techniques.  The menu offers a range of dishes that manage to feel both adventurous and comforting — standouts like expertly seasoned tacos, guacamole and queso fundido, and more substantial entrees like their salmon a la Talla or enchiladas all leave an impression.
Service is polished without being stuffy — attentive, friendly, and clearly proud of what the team is offering. The overall flow from ordering to plating is smooth, which enhances the experience rather than detracting from it.
It’s also impressive how Tamayo has kept itself relevant over the years. Originally opening in 2001, it’s still regarded as a corner-stone of Denver’s restaurant scene, continually refreshing both its space and its menu to stay dynamic without losing what made it special in the first place.

Tamayo is gorgeous inside, with fantastic service and great food. We had the fish tacos and chicken fajitas – both great. The cocktails (we had pisco sours and bourbon old fashioned) were also delicious. Would absolutely recommend.

With an upscale, lighter take on Mexican fare, this restaurant offers delicious food packed with an array of wonderful flavors. I’ve never been disappointed in Tamayo. Staff is friendly and fast, and the chef produces a wide variety of tasty treats.

We went in on a busy night with no reservation but were immediately seated at the bar and Lupita (I’m sorry if I misspelled that) was amazing! We tried the blackberry and peach margs, “Mexican hummus”, al pastor tacos and the grilled chicken. I would recommend this spot to anyone, the staff, food and vibes were 10/10 and we will be back!

We came in on a busy night with no reservation and lucked out getting a spot at the bar. Lupita (hope I got that right!) was incredible—super friendly and attentive. We tried the blackberry and peach margaritas, Mexican hummus, al pastor tacos, and grilled chicken, and everything was amazing! The drinks were fun and flavorful, the food was on point, and the overall vibe was casual and lively. The staff really made the experience, and I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun night out with great food and drinks. Definitely coming back!

Tamayo’s Happy Hour tacos and margaritas really hit the spot. The service and atmosphere were wonderful. I always appreciate establishments that can accommodate my celiac issues with skill.
