    Veggie fajitas
    Kait S.

    Great food, ambiance, and service. I came here in a group of 5 and everybody loved their food and drinks. They don't allow a mix and match taco plate but we did that amongst our table (each ordering a separate and trading) and everyone enjoyed trying more taco types. I got their veggie fajitas which were great and I traded the flour tortillas for their blue corn ones to make it GF and it was delicious. Often fajitas are a 2 person meal but I wouldn't say that's true for theirs (at least for the veggie) more like 1 and a snack leftover meal. The interior is well decorated and has a really fun and upscale vibe.

    My besties treated me to the bottomless brunch at Tamayo to continue my birthday weekend celebration. The decor is absolutely beautiful and the staff is attentive and efficient. Our server, Stevie, was friendly and made sure we had everything we wanted very quickly. All of the food was very good and we definitely had our favorites. The ceviche was a little mushy and Stevie let the kitchen know about that. Also, the chicken in the pozole was too tough to chew. But the enchiladas were all excellent. It was great being able to just have more of anything we wanted brought right to our table. They also offer bottomless cocktails with brunch but we opted not to include that. It was really nice that Stevie had a sparkler and "happy birthday" on the plate for our churros and the manager stopped by a couple of times to make sure we were happy. They do have a patio area and by the time we left it was full - just like inside. I definitely recommend having a reservation. I can't wait to go back and try more of the dishes at Tamayo.

    Tampiqueña* ** Tampiqueña*
    Brad B.

    Stopped on for a work lunch today, but think I'd only go back if someone else is paying or it's happy hour. The food was fine, but nothing outstanding. Everything tasted like it should but I was expecting bigger, bolder flavors. The appetizers came out quickly and had these cute serving pigs, but their feet were "well used" and kept flopping over. The homemade flour tortillas were nice. I had Tampiqueña was a good tasting but $32 seemed steep priced. The queso and pork belly guacamole are worth getting but ask for some extra chips. The venue is probably the highlight as it's well decorated and feels trendy.

    Special - margarita with ticket stub from Buell
    LInda C.

    Still my favorite in Larimer Square. 25 years and going strong. Something new, a "free" Margarita with your ticket stub from the Buell. Still loving my Camarones al Chipotle! Great service.

    Tamayo makes a very strong case for fajitas being the perfect dish. They arrive sizzling, announcing themselves before you even see them. Ribeye, peppers, onions, tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, salsa. Everything you need, nothing you don't. You build each bite exactly how you want it, which honestly feels like self care. Chef Richard Sandoval and his team do this exceptionally well. The ribeye was cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and the accompaniments were fresh and generous. This is fajita excellence. What really surprised me was their mocktail program. We skipped alcohol entirely and didn't feel like we were missing anything. The drinks were thoughtful, balanced, and actually interesting. I left full, happy, and felt great the next morning, which feels very on brand for my 2026 goals. Do yourself a favor and order the ribeye fajitas. Get dessert too. Growth is about balance.

    Absolutely loved my experience here! The decor is stunning--the perfect mix of chic and cozy, making it an ideal spot for a date night or a night out. The food was just as impressive, every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. To top it off, the cocktail menu is creative and the drinks were perfectly balanced. Exceptional service and a great vibe all around. I'll definitely be back! Shrimp and crab enchiladas was the best thing !!!!

    Interior

    Delicious food! Very chic interior, f Good service, great food. The queso fundido was delicious, great tamales and ceviche.

    Al Pastor Tacos
    Barbara S.

    I thought this place was great! I tried their al pastor tacos, and they did not disappoint. The salsa and lime really helped add that extra flavor I look for in a good taco. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. The service was also pretty good and added to the overall positive experience. My friend ordered the chile relleno dish and ceviche and could not stop raving about how delicious all the food was. I didn't try it myself, but honestly, thinking back, I'm kind of regretting not stealing a couple of bites. We came to celebrate a birthday, so of course we had to get churros for dessert, and they were so yummy. Overall, this was a great spot for a fun celebration or a casual night out, and I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu. I heard their brunch is great!

    Queso Fundido**
    Stephanie K.

    The spicy margs were good but could use some more heat. They were more just margs. The queso was absolutely delicious and they give you a ton of cheese and meat. The veggie fajitas were good as well. Nothing too special. Service was kind. It is definitely worth a trip.

    Shrimp Dish was good
    Joe S.

    This place had high expectations based on the reviews, and sadly, it didn't deliver consistently. Some dishes were amazing AF and some were day-of-the-dead lifeless and needed moisture and flavor. First, the positives.... Cocktails were amazing! That sour made with Mezcal and chili oil was soooooooo good! Wow, I could have had more of those for sure. The margarita was good too, but I went back to that smoky sour! Some had cucumbers and some didn't though... odd and a sign that someone different probably made these, so your milage may vary. The queso fundido or skillet queso or whatever that thing is called was one of the best ones ever! Wow, so good with the tortillas (you can tell they make them fresh). If I went for drinks and appetizers (and tortillas), this place would have been 5 stars! The dinners are where things fell short. My shrimp dish was good but after taking off the heads, it was basically 4 not-too-big shrimp over rice. Luckily, we had lots of appetizers so I wasn't overly hungry by the time the meal arrived. I tried some of the other dishes and the chicken was dry AF and had no flavor. The steak dish was good but some was cooked to a perfect medium rare and some was over done. I'd expect better for the price, but I'd go back just for queso and drinks!

    We had a solid dining experience at Tamayo. For a downtown restaurant, parking wasn't bad at all. We found a paid lot just across the street. We started off with chips and guac. My husband normally does not like guac but he said he liked this one. For entrees, I got the carne asada fajitas and my husband got the Tampiqueña. I really enjoyed my fajitas. There was a decent portion and I had enough meat and peppers for leftovers. The Tampiqueña was a bit more on the well done side but the black beans and enchilada were good. We also got the red snapper ceviche. It was yummy and not fishy tasting at all. The only thing I could say is that it came in a bowl in a bed of crushed ice that made the fish almost too cold. We were not too wow'ed by the drinks. I got the passion fruit agua fresca and I perhaps was thinking of a more sweeter drink but this was quite tart. My husband got a margarita and special cocktail but was not too impressed. All in all, they have a decent menu size and we will be back to try more of it.

    My boyfriend and I were looking for a last minute place to get a nicer dinner on our trip. We were planning on going somewhere else, but then we walked by Tamayo, which was packed, so we decided to go there instead. I'm glad we did because the food was both yummy and filling. To start, we got a margarita. I got strawberry and my boyfriend got blood orange. We both liked ours, but they were strong! For an appetizer, we got the queso fundido, which is essentially melted cheese with tortillas. Pretty much you're making your own quesadillas! It was really yummy. For our meal, our waitress suggested that since we both wanted to steak fajitas, that we just get one meal but with double meat and veggies for one. This was a great suggestion because not only was it less expensive, but it was plenty of food! We were absolutely stuffed after all this food. I would have rated this place five stars, but I took off one for service. It was very slow, and we had to wait quite a while for our food. I'm wondering if it was because there was a large group there from a conference. Regardless, I feel that the service took too long. Overall, would definitely come again!

    Pork belly guacamole
    Jacqueline O.

    We ducked into this cute restaurant at the end of Larimer Square. The vibe was so cool and the decor is really pretty. It was a little weird because we got in at 1:50PM and they were still serving all-you-can-eat brunch until 2PM, but that service ended right at 2, yet they weren't allowed to show us the full a la carte menu until the clock hit the hour. I know it must've come from higher up because the staff was SUPER apologetic and acknowledged it was weird -- definitely not on them! But whoever made that rule is weird lol, it just meant we had to sit there for 10 minutes until the poor guy could officially hand us the real menu. Just a little strange! That said, the food was pretty tasty! It was also great that the enchiladas are made with CORN tortillas, so my friend with a gluten allergy could safely enjoy them! The menu was clearly marked with allergens and dietary restrictions so that was definitely a bonus. One more star deduction just for the price. I get it's because of the location, and we went in knowing it was gonna be a little pricy for what you get, but it was $50pp for an entree each, two sodas (no cocktails or alcohol), and a single shared appetizer. Overall the food was good and if you're in the area, it definitely beats a chain restaurant!

    Do they offer skinny margaritas (less sweet/sugar and not with full-sugar mix)?

    Is the outdoor seating pet friendly?

    Yes, they're pet friendly for outdoor patio seating in the summer.

    When I went about 2-3 weeks ago they were accepting walk ins. I went by last week and it wasn't full so I would assume walk ins are acceptable.

    We are going in for brunch with a group of 8. Do you know if its possible to order off the regular menu if others at the table are doing the endless brunch/bottomless drinks? Thanks!

    Hi Christalle! Unfortunately bottomless brunch must be enjoyed by the entire table.

    Do you have Vegan options?

    Yes we do! Please inform your server upon arrival and they will walk through all options with you.

This is the Michelin restaurant that you go to if you like a more casual / less stuffy experience. Food: 4 Every dish that we ordered was delicious, but slightly on the heavy side without anything light/acidic to break it up. Perhaps it's because of what we chose to order though! Frijoles Puerco: This was a play on refried beans and chorizo. The chorizo has a little kick to it. The sourdough tortillas were delicious and served fresh and warm. Callo De Hacha Al Horno: The scallops were a flavor bomb served in a serrano ponzu and tomato butter. I'm unsure why the scallops were cut into smaller pieces instead of left whole... Enmoladas De Pollo: This was essentially chicken enchiladas cooked in mole so I was skeptical if I would find this dish worthwhile. They proved me wrong as this was one of the best dishes of the night. The mole was flavorful, not too heavy, and the chicken enchilada was so well cooked. Birria De Borrego: The lamb shank was cooked until it was fork tender. After taking it apart, wrap it in a fresh and warm tortilla with refried corn beans and salsa. The lamb was well cooked and made for a good balanced bite, but it did feel special. Service: 5 We set at the chef table and was able to watch as they finished and plated each dish. The chef was attentive without being overbearing/annoying and we had a good conversation with him. Food came out at a good pace. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant is small and cozy. It didn't feel stifling or pretentious as other fine dining restaurants can sometimes feel. This would be perfect for a date or dinner with friends.

Others in my party might not have felt that way. But nonetheless they enjoyed the entire experience. It felt like everything we ate (at first) was pretty spicy. But by the end, the spice level was coming down. Some of the highlights, the sweet potato, the sourdough tortilla with the chorizo burrito. The scallops. The cod. The birria. The mushroom quesadilla. So, pretty much all of it! I enjoyed everything that I ate! I'm interested to come back for happy hour, since they have a few different plates on that menu. For dinner, I'll keep it reserved for special occasions. Try and get a reservation, I think you'll enjoy yourself, if you appreciate craft cuisine. Good job, Alma Fonda Fina Team!
