Cinco de Mayo


In celebration of the Mexicans beating the French in the 1862, I was given a treat- dinner (mainly atmosphere) at Oyamel Cocina Mexican, which is located in the 400 block of 7th Street NW in DC.

I will recommend the Sopa Tarasca estilo pátzcuaro (black bean soup with cheese and avocado) and handmade guacamole with warm tortillas. For dessert, I had a spoon (seriously) of Pastel de tres leches con piña (cake soaked in rum with pineapples and caramel ice cream). Yummo!

The food is definitely a welcomed change from the usual Mexican chain restaurant fare. Check them out if you get a chance.
