From OpenTable and the restaurant:
"Oyamel Cocina Mexicana combines Mexico’s rich regional culinary traditions with modern urban fare. Guests experience an array of antijitos — traditional Mexican snack or small plates — along with authentic tacos, ceviches and an impressive selection of cocktails and tequilas. This is like no Mexican food you have ever experienced. Under the direction of renowned chef José Andrés, Head Chef Joe Raffa takes traditional ingredients and techniques and elevates them to deliver dishes and drinks with exceptional creativity and refinement."
Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner daily. Late-night Fri–Sat. Sat–Sun brunch 11:30 am–3 pm.

"Serious Mexican food is underrepresented in this world capital, which is one reason I so value Oyamel."
