Was Michael Schuett at Oyamel a mag?
Great food and very good service. Our server took him time with us and never made us feel rushed. This is my 3rd or fourth time at this restaurant and it never disappoints! View all feedback.

What Rogelio Hirthe dislikes about Oyamel:
we often gedinted at oyamel when we lived near dc. we came back and were somewhat disappointed. the food was still very good, but the wonderful cocktails with special attention to details, such as large, flavored ice balls and flowers were from the menu. we sat in a large stand without back support, which was unpleasant and the temperature of the restaurant was quite cold. not sure we would go back if in the opposite...

Oyamel is a solid Mexican restaurant. Great service and unique ways of serving certain food such as eating guac in a homemade tortilla! We got the tasting menu because we couldn’t decide what to get. We got such a variety of different food that it wastruly a tasting menu. The only thing that we didn’t like was that the tasting menus were individually portioned, but rather2 3 people would have to share a plate. We got two pitchers of margaritas and that was a solid drink. Be sure to book this inadvance as it can get quite busy during dinner time!

My family and I traveled from Atlanta and while walking around DC we came across this gem. Our server was Joanna and she was great at taking care of us and made us feel comfortable! Had knowledge on any questions we had, which was a plus! We were beyondpleased with the food, drinks, desserts and the pleasant atmosphere!!! Definitely went above and beyond our expectations, withgreat authentic Mexican dishes. We couldn’t have been happier, we look forward to coming back in the future! Greatlyrecommend!!! It’s a must try.
