🤢 2/5 - My wife and I have patronized Oyamel almost since its

My wife and I have patronized Oyamel almost since its beginning. We are also big fans of the work the owner José Andrés does with World Central Kitchen, and have contributed donations to it. So what we experienced last night was quite disappointing. Service - Our server was slow, and did not check back on us. Wait staff repeatedly tried to remove items from our table without asking if we were finished. We came down because of the promotion for a mezcal/drinks and special menu I received in the emails I subscribe to from Oyamel. Yet our waiter knew nothing about it, did not provide us with said promotional menus, and we had to ask for a manager to find out what was being offered (if at all). Note that this was the next to the last day of said "special" menu -my point being that you would think the staff knew about it from the past week and a half that it had been running. And FWIW, said "specials" weren't anything special. Food - This was by far the biggest disappointment. We have wondered the last few times if we were imagining a decline in Oyamel's food standards the last year or two. Last night confirmed that beyond doubt. Nothing was 'bad,' per se. But for what we paid, we would much rather patronize one of the many alternatives in DC (e.g., Espita). The cocktails were unbalanced and I would swear they're using a sour mix instead of fresh lime juice. Also too much ice -the drinks provided about three sips before being gone. Guac was not at all spicy as we requested, and when you walk in you see a bunch of it already prepared and sitting in a row on a cart - IOW, it's not prepared just before we order it. Chips and salsa were still very good, though it was hard to get a refill on the salsa. The shrimp special I ordered was alright, but nothing noteworthy or particularly flavorful. The same for my wife's chicken enchiladas and the tacos we shared. The chicken taco I ordered had a lot of refried beans at the bottom of the tortilla, which was not at all the right flavor. The tortillas had almost no corn flavor and were very 'cardboard-like.' The special lime/mezcal-sorbet dessert was covered in some gelatinous stuff that was supposed to be mango-something, but mainly served to hide the small amount of sorbet underneath (which was very good, what there was of it) and was on top of weird chunks of jicama and cucumber, which wasn't complementary of the rest of the dessert. Lastly, many of our former favorite menu items (that still appear on their website) are apparently no longer offered. We know Oyamel gets a ton of tourist walk-ins, so no matter how much they slip they'll probably be fine. But we're locals, and know better. I doubt we'll be back - there are simply too many other places to go for a better experience. We'll continue to support the fine work Andrés does, just through donations rather than by dining at Oyamel.
