Small Plates & Bottomless Cocktails - Brunch at Tamayo

Tamayo has launched its new Bottomless Margarita Brunch menu just in time for summer. Enjoy the rooftop patio alongside bottomless, hand-crafted cocktails and an unlimited feast of Latin-inspired plates made to share. Tamayo's Modern-Mexican Brunch is available Saturday - Sunday, 10:30 am - 2:30 pm for $39.00 per person. The menu overflows with a variety of Soups & Salads, Tacos & Tortas, Starters, Cazuelas (traditional pots), Specials, and Brunch Plates that keep coming until you say, "when!" So if you are looking to venture away from the traditional brunch basics, and have a soft spot for sensual, Latin American flavors, Tamayo's Bottomless Brunch is your new weekend spot.


I couldn't resist starting out with a Bloody Mary, my absolute favorite drink. With flavors reminiscent of a zesty gazpacho, this BM officially made itself a home on my list of best Bloodies in Denver.


If you favor tequila over vodka, make sure to go for the Bloody Maria with its spicy rim of salt.


Nothing says summer more than the Grilled Watermelon Salad. It's a light and refreshing start to wet your pallet for the dishes ahead.





The Migas Nortenas is a recipe wrought with tradition. These savory, scrambled egg-drenched tortilla chips bring back childhood memories for Chef Oscar Padilla as this recipe comes straight out of his grandmother's kitchen. This dish is a definite "must order," my favorite of the day.

Denver Restaurant Review: Olive and Finch

Olive and Finch is a European inspired eatery, bakery and market located in the heart of Uptown. With a focus on local, hand-crafted, and convenient eats, Chef Mary Nguyen serves up fast yet healthy dishes. You can expect to see everything from fresh baked pastries and all-natural sandwiches to fresh-pressed juices and restaurant style entrees. With first class food and a community-style environment Olive and Finch successfully brings together quality food within a casual atmosphere. Food can either be taken to-go, bought at the market, or enjoyed in the restaurant alongside a good book, computer or friend. The informal environment and big community table for twelve, make Olive and Finch the perfect neighborhood destination. Stop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner and Olive and Finch will surely blow your mind (see full menu here).


We started out with some wine. Each table is given a letter on an Olive and Finch block so that your order can find it's way to your table.





The market is full of local and international products. Nguyen plans for Olive and Finch to become a market destination for the neighborhood and those who are a bit further away.
