I normally don't have complaints regarding a way that a restaurant seats their customers because I work in food service and understand the challenges that come along with a busy establishment. However, I really found the way that Oyamel Cocina Mexicana treated my friends and I to be highly unusual last night. While we had an outdoors reservation at 8pm, we decided to pop in a bit earlier around 7:15, since we were already in the area, and see if they had capacity to seat us. The hostess was very accommodating and told us it would be a 30 min wait, which was fine with us since we were supposed to dine at a later time anyways. However, when we came to check back in at 7:45, the other hostess was extremely rude and told us curtly that there would be no tables opening up for the foreseeable future and provided no estimated wait. Even when we checked in for our 8pm reservation, we were continuously told that there were no tables yet while numerous parties went ahead of us. We ended up finally being seated around 8:30, which brought our total wait time to 75 min and 30 min after our reservation. We appreciated the complimentary guacamole that was provided for our troubles, but it wasn't impressive enough to make up for the poor customer experience from the one hostess. I wish I could say that this long ordeal was worth the food we were highly anticipating, yet our expectations fell flat once again. We ordered 6 plates to share: the ceviche verde, atun pacifico, camarones al mojo de ajo negro, tostada de salmon, plato de suedero, and pulpo negro. I was blown away by how fresh and clean the sea bass tasted in the ceviche verde, and the dish was flavorful and bright as a whole. In comparison, the tuna ceviche did not taste as fresh and I wasn't really a big fan. I was excited for the salmon tostada, but it was so bland that we had to use the ceviche verde sauce to go with it. The octopus' sweet potato puree and hoja santa salsa just tasted sweet and needed more acidity to deepen its flavor profile. The brisket was okay, but definitely nothing to write home about. The shrimp was delicious and benefitted greatly from the black garlic, but it wasn't worth $17 for 7 pieces. In general, the small portions' exorbitant prices were not thoroughly justified and the free salsa outshined most of the entrees. From the items we tried, ceviche verde and the black garlic shrimp are the only two I would order again. Fortunately enough, I do have positive views on the drinks and desserts that Oyamel Cocina Mexicana has to offer. We got the oyamel and pomegranate margaritas and both were amazing, especially with the unique 'salt air' added on top. I thought that they were also very well-priced for being one of the better margaritas in the city. We also ordered the cafe de olla, and while there could've been more of the coffee ice cream, the chocolate-coffee custard was rich and were complimented well with the lime and pecan shortbread. At the end of the day, I could see myself coming back for happy hour perhaps or for drinks and dessert after a meal. I wouldn't be opposed to trying their other menu items like the steak and trout. When comparing Oyamel Cocina Mexicana with other DC restaurants though, you could definitely get more bang for your buck elsewhere.
