Inspired by the Vision of Rufino Tamayo

Named after the legendary Mexican artist, Rufino Tamayo, our restaurant embodies the creativity, color, and passion of his work. Just as Tamayo’s art blended tradition and modernism, our menu combines classic Mexican flavors with contemporary culinary techniques. Each dish is a masterpiece in its own right.

Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991) was a Zapotecan Indian born in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. He moved to México City where he attended the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas “San Carlos.” Tamayo was exposed to the cultural wealth of pre-Colombian México as he worked as a draftsman at the Museo Nacional de Arqueologia. While his contemporaries Siqueiros, Rivera, and Orozco were best-known Latin American artists.

His exhibitions have been in museums such as advocating art with a message, often political, Tamayo’s work focused on plastic forms integrated with a masterful use of colors and textures. Tamayo participated in the development of “Mixografia®,” a graphic technique to obtain colored and textured three-dimensional prints on handmade paper. With collections in the Museo Tamayo and the Palacio Nacional de Bellas Artes in México, The Phillips Collection in Washington DC, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, as well as important art galleries throughout the world.
