   Our food was amazing as always. We had the chef’s tasting menu. The person delivering and explaining the food was fantastic. Our waitress was definitely not up to the standards we have come to expect from a José Andrés restaurant.

   Disappointing!! We went there before going to the theatre on Valentine's Day and we could not eat, we could only do the Valentine's Day menu or nothing. Very disappointing

   First time at Oyamel. The food was excellent as was the service by Melvin. He carefully explained the menu and our many serving options. The Oyamel margarita was delicious as were the tocos and rice w mushrooms and Brussel sprout sides. The tres leches dessert was incredible! Overall, and excellent dining experience enhanced by the care of Melvin. We will return soon!

   The food was absolute perfection. The fresh guaq was phenomenal. The fish taco was so delicious it required ordering another one! We were seated early and the entire wait staff was welcoming and professional. They set the standard for authentic Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend!

   Overpriced and average mexican food. The cochas were burnt at the bottom. Not what you would expect from a Jose Andres restaurant.

   Super duper. Excellent service and delicious food. Thank you for accommodating our large party of 13. Enjoyed every bit of it from the chips, salsa, guacamole, to the tacos, fajitas, and margaritas.

   Great restaurant week spot. Took quite a while to get our order taken and one party member had to wait more than 5 minutes for their food after everyone else’s arrived but staff was friendly and food was amazing.

    The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The decor of the restaurant is also beautiful. The staff were excellent and even though they were very busy, they made sure that you were well taken care of.
