We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed...read full review
As a 20 year Texan, this is amazing Mexican food. Great drinks, exceptional service, I come here very time in in DC
Overall a great culinary experience. It was very loud and busy when we went, making it difficult to hold a conversation.

Oyamel offers amazing food and excellent happy hour deals, including Ceviche. The house made salsa is incredible, described as the BEST SALSA ever—smoky with a slight burn. Tacos are a bit pricey but the meats are excellent. The atmosphere is lively; some find it loud, making conversation difficult, while others note it is not too loud or boisterous. Service is good, with standout staff like a stellar bartender who offers warmth and attentiveness, along with helpful recommendations from waiters. One guest enjoyed a great experience after asking for a moderate spice level, with the chef and server making it delicious. Overall, the food is absolutely delicious, though spicy dishes can be intense.
