   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.

   The restaurant had excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommend walking around Larimer St before grabbing the mojito and ceviche.

   I had never been to Tamayo before and found it to be disappointing. The food was ok. The portions tiny. We ordered chips and salsa, since it isn't complimentary, and after we finished our tacos, someone came and grabbed it while we were finishing our drinks and waiting to order dessert. He didn't even ask until after he scooped it up, and stacked it in his arms, if he could take it. We had still been eating them! This leads to the next thing... feeling rushed. Our waiter hounded us from beginning to finish; I was tempted to take out a restraining order on him. Then, as stated, our food we were still eating was scooped up. We ordered churros for dessert, which I normally love, but was not impressed. They just tasted "off." I ordered my usual, Coin Margarita, which is only 3 ingredients: tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice, and it was not good. It tasted like the orange liqueur was completely omitted. Like I said at the beginning, it was just a disappointment. If one thing had been off then I would have brushed it off, but based on our experience we will never go there again. There are just too many options out there to be disappointed on your night out.

   Great place to go before a play at DCPA. Great good, outstanding menu and good service. We had the ceviche and gaucamole as appetizers and they were great portions and delicious. We will be back.

   The host was very rude. I had made two reservations so my daughter could have an ‘event’ with her friends when we made the reservation, separate from us chaperones. When we arrived he said, , ‘yeah, we don’t do that’. It was fine, but WTF? Good job aiming for “fine”. Also, $36 for two guacamoles? No thanks.
   

   Tamayo RestaurantResponded on December 3, 2024

   Hi Mike, we're really sorry to hear about your recent experience at Tamayo. We strive to provide a welcoming environment for all our guests and it seems there was a miscommunication with your reservation plans. We're glad you enjoyed the guacamoles, but we regret that other aspects of your visit were less than amazing. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our service. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide a better experience.
