Brunch & Dinner
In the best area of 14th Street, modern homage to authentic Mexican Cuisine, featuring local ingredients that result in exquisite and vibrant creations.

It´s all about the corn - the maiz - at this upscale Mexican stunner. Four kinds are turned into fresh masa daily for the tacos, tamales, and other corn-bassed essentials, and even the art on the walls is corn-themed.

Vegetables and fish are one of the Chef's great specialties, including tuna tostada and yellow ceviche, culminating with the traditional catch of the day.

Mezcal Room an extensive bar downstairs, we have a lot of Mexican spirits, including most famous Oaxacan beverage mezcal. There’s a wide spectrum of mezcals, with dozens of flavors ranging

We are a universe of colors, of textures, of flavors; the print of hands worn down legends that draw the magic of a culture willing to be discovered.

Good service. They need to be educated about what a white fish is, which is not simply any fish with white flesh. Trout is not a white fish, bass and snapper are not white fish. White fish are basically bottom fish, with no taste that don’t tattoos either!

This is a really great little spot for creative takes on traditional Mexican (Oaxacan) dishes. The service was excellent, from the moment we walked in and were greeted and seated by the host, who was there to open the door for us as we departed, to the perfect service from Sergio, who also made our drinks. It is a cute spot with some great decor, but the tables were a bit close together and we were seated by a table with 5 people that I almost felt like were sitting at our table. It didn't feel like it needed to be that way, so it was a little confusing. We absolutely loved a few dishes and like the others. The Hamachi Tostada was delicious, as was the Octopus in Pink Mole. The Lobster Octopus in two moles (black and green) was really good, with perfectly poached lobster and delicious sauces. For me, this dish would have been a bit better with a rice as opposed to the mashed potatoes that accompanies as it just made for a funky and heavy texture. Finally, the Tamal was a let down as it was pretty bland and had a cakey texture. I would not get it again, nor recommend. They also had some creative and delicious cocktails and I wish I could have tried more of them. Excellent choice in DC!

Service was excellent . Drinks were great but wasn’t to excited about the food . Had ordered a lot of different things . Quite pricey for the quantity and the taste . Also had gone there to celebrate wife’s 50th birthday with friends……nothing from the restaurant side to make it special.

$35 for a piece of broccoli in mole sauce? Nice setting but our plates were unremarkable and priced high. had a better experience at this place during DC dining week.
