    Sadly, this used to be one of our most favorite restaurants. The staff and service was still great but the food was awful. The food quality was NOT good.We were so disappointed and of our party of 5 - no one’s food was good. So sad.

    Overall everything was just fine. I ordered a Bloody Maria and it was very watery and flavorless. The bacon, plantains and chilaquiles were delicious but the poblano potatoes were mediocre. They were cold when we first received them so we sent them back. They tasted like boiled potatoes with crema. The poblano flavor was very mild, almost flavorless. I would have preferred a slight crisp to the potatoes. Service was pleasant. But definitely not a place I’d recommend or return.
    Tamayo RestaurantResponded today
    Hello Fernanda, thank you for sharing! We're glad to hear that you indulged our bacon, plantains, and chilaquiles, but we're sorry to hear that the poblano potatoes and Bloody Maria did not wow you. We take pride in our flavorful dishes and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short this time. We also appreciate your feedback about the cold poblano potatoes and will certainly look into this matter. Despite these issues, we're glad that you found our service pleasant and we hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future.

    very LOUD certainly not for a business dinner or romantic dinner - we could not even talk across a small table it was so loud - they should soften the surfaces/put in carpet/do something - but people go there so they must not mind that it is so loud - food and service great we have gone there since it opened and I have their cookbook! also only go when they have valet as you will never find a place to park

    Always top notch service with wonderful food selections. I had tofu tacos and asked for all the sauces on the side and they accommodated without hesitation. Our waiter (I believe his name was CJ) was super attentive, friendly and welcoming. This place is a family favorite

    the wait person was professional, attentive and pleasant. The food presentation was nice; however, my order of tacos were overwhelmed with pickled onions which took away from the overal flavor. I removed 80% of the onions just because there were too many. I spent all evening tasting those onions over and over. The ceviche was overpowerly spicy and not enough fish variety. Not at all what was expected based on past experiences. We always have had a nice, tasteful meal for many years here, but will think about coming back. Very disappointing.

    Limited menu at a higher price and small portion. Quality was ok for most in the party, but nothing fantastic. Overall atmosphere is very stiff and not inviting or warm.

    All staff friendly and professional. Super efficient too. Didn’t wait at all to sit, order and served. Love the ambiance and the food is so beautifully presented and taste just as good as it looks. Reasonably priced for such a creative high end food. My favorite Mexican restaurant in all of Denver.
