   I had never been to Tamayo before and found it to be disappointing. The food was ok. The portions tiny. We ordered chips and salsa, since it isn't complimentary, and after we finished our tacos, someone came and grabbed it while we were finishing our drinks and waiting to order dessert. He didn't even ask until after he scooped it up, and stacked it in his arms, if he could take it. We had still been eating them! This leads to the next thing... feeling rushed. Our waiter hounded us from beginning to finish; I was tempted to take out a restraining order on him. Then, as stated, our food we were still eating was scooped up. We ordered churros for dessert, which I normally love, but was not impressed. They just tasted "off." I ordered my usual, Coin Margarita, which is only 3 ingredients: tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice, and it was not good. It tasted like the orange liqueur was completely omitted. Like I said at the beginning, it was just a disappointment. If one thing had been off then I would have brushed it off, but based on our experience we will never go there again. There are just too many options out there to be disappointed on your night out.

   Great place to go before a play at DCPA. Great good, outstanding menu and good service. We had the ceviche and gaucamole as appetizers and they were great portions and delicious. We will be back.

   The host was very rude. I had made two reservations so my daughter could have an ‘event’ with her friends when we made the reservation, separate from us chaperones. When we arrived he said, , ‘yeah, we don’t do that’. It was fine, but WTF? Good job aiming for “fine”. Also, $36 for two guacamoles? No thanks.

   Hi Mike, we're really sorry to hear about your recent experience at Tamayo.

We're glad you enjoyed the guacamoles, but we regret that other aspects of your visit were less than amazing. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our service. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide a better experience.

   We had a business lunch today with five people. The food is usual was outstanding. Had a couple appetizers and different lunch entrées. Everything was served hot and was very flavorful. However, the service was definitely lacking today. Iced teas and beverages were not refilled, and there was lots of confusion when the entrées were brought out, regarding whose was whose. Several of us had the same dish, but with different cooking temperatures for the protein. At this level restaurant and the prices, things need to be a little more buttoned up.
