With so many LoDo restaurants taking part in restaurants, it can be hard to choose just one. We've highlighted a few of our picks below, but if we left out your favorite, let us know in the comments. Menu items are subject to change at any of the restaurants, so double-check the menu when you make your reservations.

Tamayo

If you haven't been to Tamayo, now is a good time to go. Their ceviche is very impressive and, as luck would have it, it's one of the choices for the first course. The second course is a perfect mix of vegetarian, fish, beef and chicken entrees and the desserts look lovely. Banana empanadas and chocolate cake with vanilla flan round out the meal.
