Though they do charge you separately for chips and even though the carne asada is 44$ they still charge you for rice and beans separately. It's good food but very expensive.

Stopped in Mi Vida for a happy hour drink (and possibly a fish bowl(?)). Unfortunately, they had…read morethe fish glasses but not the ingredients to make the drink on question, so simple HH drinks it was. We saddled up at the bar top and enjoyed a few cocktails, while nibbling on chips&guac and chips&salsa. Note: this is a spot that does not offer chips and salsa for free. Overall, nice spot at the wharf for high-end Mexican fare.

My experience at Oyamel was outstanding, and Jose made it even better. From the moment we were…read moreseated, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He took the time to answer our questions, offered excellent recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal without ever being intrusive. Jose's positive attitude and exceptional customer service truly elevated our dining experience. It's rare to come across someone who is so professional while also making guests feel valued. I'll definitely be returning, and I hope to be served by Jose again. Highly recommend!

Guac was superb, chips and salsa (smoky Fresno pepper undertone?) were amazing. A pitcher of the house Marguerita was worth every dime, top shelf perfection with the house sea foam. $20+ off for the WC!!! I will only serve marguerita as with this foam ever again, sucrose esters acquired Queso fundito with chorizo tasty Atun Pacifico is a do not miss ceviche for the table Cactus taco, chicken taco, pork taco, pulled beef taco, and chicken enchiladas were all perfection. I eat bugs but passed on the grasshopper taco, you know it has to be perfect and crunch second to none. Service was very good, Mexico's game came on at 9 PM which lit the place up. Broadcast was in Spanish as it should have been. Love this place.

Their Shrimp and Crab Guacamole has become my go-to dish whenever I go there. The underlying Guac is fresh and flavorful. By itself, it is amazing. However, for a few dollars more, they add a heaping portion of crabmeat and a bunch of good-sized (and tailless) shrimp. It can be, and for me, frequently is, a meal in itself. Add a couple of cold beers, and I'm a happy camper.

My girlfriend loved her burrito de asada. It was so full of flavor and tender asada. I loved my enchiladas de mole. The mole sauce was perfect. The rice and beans were great also. Finally the gorditos de asada was generational. Not only were they filled with great tasting asada and grilled veggies, but the plain Gordito literally brought me back to my abuelas gorditos she would make me growing up. Brought me to tears. I definitely plan to visit this location anytime I'm in DC.

It was a lot of food for two people to share and there was only the option to decline food, which was hard to do considering you pay for everything on the menu. I wish that the drinks were flowing a bit more. The vibes were good and the service was adequate and attentive. Our server was knowledgeable of the menu and had great recommendations to offer. Would only do the brunch special again with a larger group, but since I've tasted the entire menu already, there's no rush to come back.

I did the ostiones again (really…read moregreat, ill probably get these every visit lol) and the branzino (zarendeado?)- wow that was one of the best fish dishes ive had recently. From the sauces on top to the smoked flavor of the fish meat, truly top tier! Mom loved her kale salad and fish tacos, dad loved the kale salad as well and said the seafood enchiladas were pretty good. Manager came out to greet us and we chatted for a while, nice touch! We went down to Roja Lounge- no live music that night but the ambiance was inviting and the drinks were expertly done- dad is a margarita fan and said that was probably the best one he's had! They will have repeat customers in ALL of us!

The Fish Taco Deluxe gets massive love crispy grilled Alaska pollock, fresh toppings, homemade salsa on warm tortillas. Pollo asado and carnitas run close seconds, but fish wins the crowd.

ALL the meat was cooked to perfection--we tried shrimp, steak, and chicken. Some of the best salsa and chipotle you'll eat! The ambiance is bright and welcoming, with beautiful decor and a clean environment. And the service was excellent! We snuck in just ten minutes before closing, yet they were so kind and made us feel welcome and like we weren't putting them out. The chef still prepared our food to perfection even though it was late in the evening. Prettiest salad--wow! It was all excellent quality.

The restaurant is beautifully bright and very clean, and we were greeted with warm friendliness that made us feel right at home. Being Mexican myself, I recognized many of the dishes instantly. We tried a variety of plates including guacamole, chips, salsas, ceviches, and a shredded beef dish,each beautifully presented and with tender meat. While the flavors were promising, there's room for the chefs to refine the spices to really bring out the true taste. The corn tortillas weren't handmade and broke easily, but the quality of the proteins was excellent.The micheladas and margaritas were spot on, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Just a heads-up, it's a bit on the pricier side, but overall, it's a lovely place to explore new flavors. **Después de viajar varias dias entre Nueva York y DC, moria por encontrar un nuevo y encantador lugar para disfrutar de la comida mexicana, este lugar tiene la peculiaridad de ofrecer una fusión mexicano-peruana. El restaurante esta maravillosamente iluminado e impecable, y nos recibieron con una cálida amabilidad que nos hizo sentir muy cómodos. Siendo mexicana (tapatía) reconocí muchos de los platos al instante. Probamos una variedad de platillos que incluyen guacamole, totopos, salsas, ceviches y un plato de carne de res con vegetales y puré de papa, cada uno bellamente presentado. Si bien los sabores eran prometedores, hay espacio para que los chefs refinen los platillos para realmente acentuar el sabor del menu. Por otro lado, las tortillas de maíz no estaban hechas a mano y se rompian fácilmente, pero la calidad de las proteínas fue excelente. Las micheladas y margaritas estuvieron refrescantes, y el personal fue amable y atento. Solo un aviso, es un poco más caro de lo normal, pero en general, es un lugar encantador para explorar nuevos sabores.

Food, very good, I had carne asada, the only thing holding them back from 5 star was the steak was over cooked and tough. The Pico and guac were excellent.
