Mora makes the difference on service. Food and ambience is awesome.

We went there before a Caps game and got there late due to Red Line delays. The service at Oyamel was very fast and enabled us to make it to the game on time. Food was excellent.

As usual, the food at Mi Vida was outstanding. We shared an order of guacamole and an order of shrimp tacos, which were both excellent. We also has a couple different kinds of margaritas, also excellent. The problem was the service, which was absolutely disjointed, uncoordinated and untimely. We asked for the guacamole and tacos to be served at the same time. They were not. The guac arrived first, followed about five minutes later by the tacos. Only then did out drinks arrive. Although the restaurant was not busy, it took forever to catch our server's attention to find our what was happening. Hey Mi Vida wait staff: Here's a clue--if you don't see drinks already on the table, that's a sign that the food should not yet be served. Never has this problem at other Knead Restaurant Group properties. Maybe it's just a Mi Vida Penn Quarter problem.

It was Excellent! We recommend the Tasting Menus.

We went for a family dinner to celebrate dad’s birthday. It was just the right amount of food for a group Of 12. We ordered a few entrees and some salad. Everything was delicious, even the kids meals were a hit.
