Oyamel is a great looking restaurant with a lot of nice touches: very high ceilings, beautiful decor, a stylish bar area, and everything from cozy two-top tables to longer tables for a large party.
The food is authentic Mexican, not Tex-Mex, and is served in small plates, very much like the tapas at chef Jose Andres' other restaurant Jaleo. While we've always been pleased with the food (not to mention the tasty pomagranate margaritas!), we noticed on our last visit that they have made a few changes to the menu. For example, for around $7 or $8 you could get three excellent tacos. For the same amount of money, you now only get two!!
