    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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

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

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

    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.

    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.
