Great happy hour ! $5 specialty Margs and other drinks. Try the Tamayo margarita or the Sandia Tajin . Mahi mahi ceviche is also a steal for $4.

Ashley Sevadjian

I had La Tampiqueña, which is a beautifully seasoned fillet steak with a tomato salad , guacamole , and a small cheese enchilada . It was delicious. You could taste every element.

Brent Gatewood

Enchiladas and the namesake margarita were excellent. Good chips and salsa . Good and quick service . Yep, I'll be back!

Denver Westword

It is worth trying one of the out of the box margaritas such as the "Mercado" which blends serrano-infused tequila with passion fruit puree, citrus and a hibiscus rosemary foam.

Joshua Allan

Pepper infused Tequila is incredible, the chile Morita salsa is one of a kind, ask for the "agavero margarita " (casa nobles resposado, agavero liquor , citrus ).enchiladas on the house if you CHECK IN.

Rachel K

Happy hour in the bar area gets you $5 margaritas , add a dollar for one of their house infused tequilas like sage pineapple or citrus lemongrass .

Robin Singhvi

Unlimited brunch on the weekends for $20!!! And it is DELICIOUS! Order everything from the menu - you wont regret it, promise!

Upstairs has a gorgeous view ! The queso fundido is amazing, unless your idea of queso is velveeta. The flavors are incredible and very unique!!

Jeff Schroer

All you can eat / drink brunch is where it's at. Great service, atmosphere and value.

Very good food & drinks. Great for lunch , dinner , & after work drinks with colleagues

Quest fundido was fabulous! Not your average cheese dip like at other mexican restaurants - something special & definitely worth ordering.

Shannon Vogel

The bottomless margarita brunch (unlimited small plates and free flowing brunch cocktails ) for $35 is a no brainer!

Chris Albrecht

The huitlacoche and mushroom enchiladas were delicious, and just the right portion.

Karen McAuliffe

Happy Hour favs coin style margarita , poblano tamal and al pastor taco

Eric Tigre

Tamayo offers great dining in Denver's Larimer Square with fresh Mexican food flavors. Start with a prickly pear margarita or a michelada , and savor an order of the mole poblano for dinner . Me gusta! Read more

Denver Westword

Catch a great glimpse of the sunset on the rooftop while you down margaritas , chips and salsa and maybe even an entire Mexican feast!

Brad Large

Me and Choco Chona had all appetizers . Mahi mahi ceviche , calamari & queso fundido . All great! Just what we needed after moving home from Mexico.

eric bornemann

Food is hit or miss, and the staff is a bit off. The fish was surprisingly fantastic.

Lindsay Brooke

Perfect for a group dinner . Great queso dip .

NED CAMPBELL

Food & service was good. However, air conditioner was broken during a heat wave. Staff was unapologetic about A/C. People left early because it was so hot. I'm sure it is better with a working A/C.

Lisa Wolff

Great food and love the view from the deck over Larimer St.

Benjamin Blackmer

Nice tequila menu. Great rooftop area.

terrific lunch spot - fabulous food.

Great food, ask for Matt, great server!

Matt Jacobson

Food was excellent. I had the filet. Only complaint is that they don't accept Discover cards, which is ridiculous for a restaurant charging over $20 for entrees.

Vallyri

They have a rooftop bar area
