Oyamel Cocina Mexicana

My visit to Oyamel Cocina Mexicana was a delightful journey through authentic Mexican flavors, highlighted by some standout dishes that left a lasting impression. This restaurant, known for its commitment to traditional Mexican cuisine with a contemporary twist, certainly lived up to its reputation. The guacamole was a true star of the meal. It was exceptionally well-prepared, with a freshness and quality of avocados that was evident in every bite. The heat level in the guacamole was perfectly balanced, providing a pleasant kick that enhanced the flavors without overpowering them. This dish demonstrated a mastery in blending spices and ingredients to achieve a harmonious and memorable flavor profile. Equally impressive were the tamales. They were impeccably cooked, maintaining the traditional essence of this beloved Mexican dish. It was clear that great care was taken in preparing these tamales, reflecting a deep respect for authentic Mexican cooking techniques.

Overall this is such a great place to grab a drink and a bite. I like all of Jose Andres places and you really can’t go wrong. Get the oyamel margarita and order the pork belly quesadilla. The service we had was impeccable. Really the only reason I’m giving it a 4 star is I think some of his other restaurants have better food. But if you love Mexican then I think you’ll love this place.
