We have had dinner here several times, which has always been excellent. We came for brunch today, and it was ok food-wise. Our dishes could have been warmer, and the food seemed dry. Service was on point. We will come back, but we may skip brunch.

Newly remodeled. The inside is lovely. Same delicious food. Good service. The outside needs some effort and work. They need some more time to get the curbside and patio refreshed too.

Always a treat to dine at Tamayo! The house margaritas are a step above. We enjoyed the guacamole with raw tuna as well as the chicken tinga enchiladas and mole chicken. Fresh, flavorful, delicious in a sophisticated setting.

The new menu far surpasses the old Tamayo. More expensive, more limited, but well executed.

Tamayo offers an enticing mix of authentic Mexican cuisine along with several "fusion" items such as Brussels sprouts served with a bit of mole, and a salmon dish not typical of Mexican menus. Atmosphere is upscale yet relaxed. Love the margarita Tamayo with tamarind and Tajin!
