If you're looking for a FINE DINING experience in DC I would highly recommend their 14-course tasting menu-- worth every penny. Not only is the service a worldly experience of its own but the food which is inspired by South American cultural roots, is a symphony of flavors that delights the senses with each course telling a story from its respective country. My top 3 favorites: The arepa basket w/spreads The soup Chirimoya Ice Cream read more

My friend and I dined here recently trying the 4 course tasting menu at the bar. The service was attentive and friendly and the non-alcoholic drinks were inventive and delicious. The food was exceptional and you really didn't miss the meat. Each item was more flavorful than the next and we did not leave hungry. Will absolutely be back to try the full tasting menu! read more

We went for an anniversary dinner and were so excited to try a vegan Michelin spot, but sadly, we found this place overhyped and extremely overpriced. Nothing was outright bad, but it really lacked a wow factor (particularly the soba and the ceviche), other than the corn focused dessert which we both liked. The service was also awkward and spotty. We did the 6 course meal, supplements at the start, and a bottle of wine. The total was over $400! Luckily we had a gift card, but it's not worth that much and my husband still wanted tacos after. We both agreed we'd rather go to Planta or many other affordable, tasty spots, even for a special occasion. read more

I like the concept. Authentic ingredients from the region that aren't as well known, storytelling on the meaning of the dishes, plant based and earthy food and aesthetic. There is a ton of potential. The service is good and attentive, it wasn't a super busy day. But of the 6 courses + arepas, almost everything was underseasoned if at all seasoned. No issue with tasting the ingredients and leaning into natural flavors, but when most of your ingredients are roots and beans, you need spices and herbs. It's not about salt bombs, it's just that most things tasted of nothing. The dominant flavor of the meal was celery root. The sauces with the arepas were great, but the arepas not so much. The "soup" foam with plantains and dashi broth was my favorite, and the barley with mushroom was enjoyable enough, but the meal was a big miss for me. The highlight of the experience was the tableware...that should say something read more

Fantastic plant based tasting menu. We went a while ago so this review is very late and I don't remember specifics. But I do remember being impressed with how balanced and fresh the flavors were. read more

Is the food incredible. Sure. Is it worth the money. absolutely not. You can a pizza next door after you pay 200 dollars for a meal read more

Loved our meal. Food was delicious and service was wonderful but I have to comment that cleanliness was not on par with other Michelin star places. We had a corner table and there was a bunch of hair and dust around us. read more

Came for a birthday dinner - experience was outstanding. Food was very consistent and tasty, cocktails were all superb. Service felt a touch slower paced than other places as we got started, but actually ended up contributing toward a more relaxed and chill experience overall. The decor and environment was very nice. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I came here on a Thursday evening to celebrate our anniversary. We did the tasting menu, and each dish seemed carefully thought out. The soup dish (#5, I think) was probably our favorite dish, but it was fun trying all of them. The first dish was the most surprising--I won't give the surprise away, but I'll say that its appearance was deceiving. Staff members were attentive, and they explained what each dish was and the inspiration behind it. Most, if not all, wished us a happy anniversary, and a little anniversary sign was set at our table before we even arrived. They also brought out an extra dish at the end of the meal for our anniversary. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant for special occasions. The main dining room was fairly small and included the bar and chef's table area. It's a clean, modern space. Attire ranged from nice casual to dressy. read more

Went here for my birthday recently. Had in incredible experience. The atmosphere is relatively chill and modern. The service was great as well. At one point, I asked a question about a particular ingredient I hadn't heard of (a palm fruit) and the chef personally came out and shared with me not only what the fruit was and why it is used, but also allowed me to try some of it fresh, prepared in a traditional way! The dishes themselves were not only fantastic in terms of taste and presentation, but also technical marvels, considering they are all vegan. I still can't believe some of the dishes, especially the Nazca Lines, had no dairy. And getting to try chocolate in a format closer to its original form not only was a surprise, but something I'd wanted to do for a very long time as well. Only recommendation is to upgrade to a nicer location within the city. Everything else blew expectations out of the water. If you're a fan of traditional Latin and or vegetable/fruit forward cuisine, you cant miss this place! read more

Absolutely loved Mita. Went alone, sat at the bar and enjoyed the 4 course tasting menu. Be sure to add on the supplementals! read more

Date of the meal: 2/22/24 We went to Mita to celebrate a birthday and it exceeded expectations. We went for the full tasting experience menu supplemented with cocktails and wine. The food is as delicious as it is aesthetically stimulating. Our favorite dish was easily the ARRACACHA - FAVABEANS - SWEET PLANTAIN - DASHI. The vibe/ambiance is very comfortable, a perfect balance of upscale fancy feels with laid back casual. If you can get a seat at the counter I recommend it as it will elevate your experience even more to watch many of the dishes being prepared. I to my cap to Monica who was skilled enough to chat with us through the experience all while preparing more than a third of the dishes on the menu (there are 14 total not including one bonus dessert item) at an impressive pace. As an open fire BBQ enthusiast and meat-eater I enjoyed this experience more than other 1-star Michelin rated establishments I have dined in which might shock some people who know me. I would be surprised if MITA did not have one or two stars of their own very soon. I will likely go back. read more

MITA - I believe this dish is the YUBA- BLACK BEAN MOLE- CELERY ROOT. - Vegan Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Unfortunately my date and I were not impressed. The food left lots to be desired and was severely over priced. They served six small plates of two items per plate and the bill was over $300. Not a good investment of time or money. read more

I don't post often - only when I have really negative or positive experiences. And I had an amazing experience at MITA. Each course was wonderfully creative, thoughtful, and delicious. And the cocktails were incredible! I went with a group of 7 others - all with different dietary preferences and restrictions- and everyone came away raving about the food and the experience. Highly recommend! read more

It is a very innovative proposal. Great variety of food presented in a very original way. It becomes not only an alternative for vegetarians, but for anyone who enjoys good food, ambiance and good service.!! EXITOS!!!!! read more

Had the 14 course dinner with wine pairing. Everything was delicious and fun. The service was great, the presentation was whimsical and beautiful. The vibes were pleasant. The wine pairing was just okay. I was kinda jealous of the people getting the beautiful cocktails. Our favorite courses were the soup with the dashi and the honeydew dessert. But all the food was good to great. 14 courses was too much. I'd go back and do cocktails and one of the smaller menus. read more

The food was fantastic. The servers were very knowledgeable about the food and stories behind their cultural origin. However, the servers were overly attentive to the point it ruined the meal. We had a rotation of five of them coming our table multiple times per course, interrupting our conversation and waiting for the instant we were done with our plate. Sometimes they asked to take our plate before we were finished. I get needing to turn service over quickly for the next guests, but we had a reservation for 830pm and there were several open tables. Because of this, I would not go back or recommend. read more

This restaurant and dining experience were fabulous! The service was impeccable. The dishes were unique, multi dimensional and beautiful. I especially loved the arepas and dipping sauces and the arracacha soup. Cannot recommend it enough for plant eaters. read more

Service is spectacular and all are so attentive and want to ensure you know everything about each serving. I thought lots of miniature food wasn't going to be filing but I was surprised it was enough. We also ordered extra arepas which were totally our favorite!!! read more

My wife and I came here to celebrate and enjoy a fancy plant based meal. I can tell you that the service was AMAZING! The ambiance was laid back for such a fancy place, though still inviting. The food was hit or miss depending on the item. A lot of effort went into the plating and you could see a lot of creativity in the dishes. I had the full extended menu and to pay that much and receive dishes that were too salty was disappointing. The dessert was not sweet or savory, it was bland and came with a sagnaki pearl that wife described as the flavor of Vicks vapor rub. We walked away full and the service was impeccable, but for this price the food was average. read more

Amazing experience at Mita. From the first amuse bouche to the final bonbon every course was an explosion of flavor and a celebration of Latin American ingredients and flavors. Both our cocktails were phenomenal, and the wine menu provided a range of options for every palette and price point. Service was exceptional and approachable, and the entire front of house was well versed on the menu. The experience felt cozy and intimate, but I expect that the space gets quite loud with a full house. We look flowers to returning in the summer! read more

A really unique vegan experience. Cuisine was innovative and delicious. The service was perfect and the ambiance was lovely.

Mini arepas with different types of dip that are an explosion of taste for the palate. The drink is a mocktail with zero alcohol tequila. I didn't take pictures of everything I got served, but this place is a real trip to different foods, sensations and above all a food experimentation journey. Very nice ambience and outstanding service too. I will come back. I highly recommend it. Fully vegan. All I was looking for was there and more! read more

Delicious Latin American food! We ate at the bar off the ala carte menu but plan to return for the prix fixe menu.
