Tamayo, Denver, Colorado, Mexican Restaurant Details

Food:

Margaritas were delicious (particularly the Agavero and Prickly Pear), carne asada was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL I've never been so tempted to lick my plate. Service was good for a Saturday evening. We were all very impressed with our meals. Will be returning!!!

Food:

Gentrification is alive & well at this restaurant. Rude management & wait staff. Nothing but dirty looks and rude tone from hostess & manager. Mexican music isn't welcome at a Mexican restaurant. Who knew modern Mexican food didn't include actual Mexicans?

Food:

Drinks were good, although they don't honor happy hour in the dining room. I had the shrimp and crab enchiladas, and they were marginal. Also, beans and rice are extra... Unheard of in Mexican restaurants!!!!

Food:

The calamari is amazing! Service was courteous but not as prompt and attentive as we expected. We did go during a busy night. We will definitely come back. The flan was superb.

Food:

My reservation was cancelled for no reason; I got an email and I called them back to reinstate it. I hung up the phone and another email came to say my reservation, June 7, 2015 was cancelled. I responded to say I reinstated it over the phone. We go to the restaurant and they said my name was not in their database. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I showed them my reservation that was confirmed before this mess. They accommodated me and my friends by giving us a table anyway. Another customer told me she is having the same problem. I will give that process a minus 3 stars.

The service was friendly, casual :), the waiters attentive and we were seated on the second floor and the breeze from the veranda was nice. We each had tacos. My mahi-mahi taco was good, but not life changing; the Malbec was fine. The price is reasonable. The bread pudding was delicious and so was the banana empanada for dessert. $$ for taco, a glass of Malbec, and 1/3 of dessert. I think I will make a reservation by phone next time or just show up...It is a casual restaurant, a good place to go before catching a show, a few blocks from the Denver Performing Arts Center. This gets a 3+ star.

Buen provecho!
