First and foremost, this is not your typical, "eat chubby burritos while rocking out to mariachi bands," kind of Mexican restaurant. This is Modern Mexican cuisine and darn good Mexican cuisine at that. The restaurant is bigger than it looks on the outside—it has an amazing terrace, multiple dining rooms, comfortable tables and booths, and an eye-catching bar with a fabulous tile collage as a focal point. Fancy cocktails are one of their specialties (hint hint, try the mango mojito). Entrees vary from Tampiquena (filet mignon), flautas (flautas) and mole poblano (chicken breast). The portions are small and won’t make you feel like you need to unbutton your pants and get rolled out of the restaurant. As if it can’t get any better, Tamayo succeeds. Once you’re done with the main course, you better, and we repeat better, order their empanadas de platano! Maldicion Delicioso (Darn delicious, or at least we hope thats what it means).

"Quality eats, harsh vibe"

By JJ from Denver, May 27, 2008

Upscale Mexican food is almost an oxymoron, but Tamayo pulls it off with grace. However, Mexican food is also one of those cuisines you can get gre...
