Today’s restaurant review is for Oyamel Cocina in the heart of Penn Quarter. I’ve had dinner and drinks at Oyamel a few times, and if you’re looking for an authentic Mexican experience, this is the place. Inspired by Chef Jose Andres, need I say more; Oyamel provides dishes and delicacies not found anywhere else in D.C. I would suggest starting with Ceviche de peje-sol. For main courses, you can’t go wrong with Corvina roja a la Veracruzana, Bistec con mole amarillo y hongos, and Camarones al mojo de ajo negro. If you’re up for something more adventurous try the Lengua guisada or Chapulines aka grasshopper tacos. Finally, the mixologists at Oyamel are second to none and will serve up whatever you may be craving in a unique and inspiring way. I’ve linked the picture to Opentable, and suggest you make a reservation soon!
