Think Mezcal gone the way of The Jeffersons -- a humble Mexican-American taqueria that moved on up to Cherry Creek North. The decor here is south-of-the-border kitsch, the staff a veteran crew, and the menu a Colfax-meets-suburbia version of Mezcal's award-winning tacos, Chama's killer posole and tamales evidencing style and intelligence.

  • 2010 | Best Pupusas

    The pupusas at Tambien started out as a simple staff snack, a way for prep cook Sonia Hernandez, who hails from El Salvador, to swell the bellies of the hungry kitchen line with the national street grub of her homeland. But because pupusas —... More >

  • 2009 | Best House Margarita

    Denver drinkers used to be content ordering snifters full of ice, cheap tequila, sweet-and-sour mix that made your teeth squeak, maybe a lime wedge, and all sorts of top-secret (and cheap) ingredients guaranteed to give them a big headache in the... More >

  • 2008 | Best Late-Night Mexican Restaurant

    Tambien is all about the timing. When Jesse Morreale and Sean Yontz realized that Sketch just wasn't going to make it, they closed it up, fast, and turned the basement space into a darker, more sophisticated version of Mezcal. Today, Tambien is a... More >

  • 2008 | Best Margarita

    When Jesse Morreale and Sean Yontz decided to duplicate the success they'd had at Mezcal with Tambien, they actually outdid themselves on the margaritas. Although the house recipe is ostensibly the same here as at Mezcal, Tambien puts a little... More >

  • Fresh Strawberry Malcriada at Tambien

    By Nancy Levine | Thu, December 11, 2008

    Money's tight, times are hard, here's your fucking Christmas card. Given all the bad news, I'm having trouble getting in the holiday spirit this year — so I'm making an effort to get out of the house and spend time with friends rather than stay at... More >

  • It's Time

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, December 20, 2007

    Jesse Morreale, owner of Tambien, called me at home last Wednesday night. "So, how is it?" he asked with no preamble, no hey-how-ya-doin'. "How is what?" I asked, feigning a sweet, downy and unsullied ignorance. "How is it?" "How is what, man? ... More >

    Tambien

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, December 20, 2007

    Mexico, Christmas 2001. Laura and I, in a fit of wild-goose inspiration, had quit the bright, dusty and idiot-ridden confines of Albuquerque, New Mexico, for a quick run through Truth or Consequences, Las Cruces and Vado, aiming the blunt nose of ... More >

  • Especial Margarita

    By Nancy Levine | Thu, August 16, 2007

    I hate working out, and I hate people who say how much they love working out. To me, working out is a necessary evil — like taxes, dating and menstrual cycles. So when I heard there was a gym called the Anti-Gym, I got excited: I thought working o... More >
