I haven't been to Baja Fresh in awhile because it's not one of my favorite places. They redesigned their menu, which they really needed to do. I decided to go there to try their primo tacos. I got the blackened shrimp and lanogstino lobster tacos. The lobster, didn't really taste like lobster, it tasted more like a crawfish. But the lobster taco, was actually very good. The blackened shrimp I didn't really like because it had cheese on the bottom. Melted cheese with shrimp taco, just didn't do it for me. The one nice thing about Baja Fresh is the variety of salsas you can get. I noticed a new one too, pineapple salsa. I didn't try it this time, but will next time. Overall, this meal was much better than the usual Baja Fresh. I might go back for the lobster taco, or something else.
We finally got a chance to try out Oyamel without having reservations. We just happened to be in DC around lunchtime and decided we would have lunch here. At first the prices seemed pretty cheap, until we learned they were more of a tapas size. As most mexican restaurants, the meal came with chips and salsa. They were pretty decent. I ordered the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo Negro (Shrimp sauteed with shallots, arbol chile, poblano chile lime and sweet aged black garlic). This shrimp dish was very good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce made it a little spicy. I also ordered the Mejillones al tequila con chipotle (Steamed mussels with tequila, sauteed garlic and chipotle sauce). This mussel dish was delicious. The mussels were cooked perfectly and the sauce was a tomato sauce which was good enough to eat alone. A little bit of bread would have made it perfect. I also ordered a chicken soup. This soup was just average, nothing special. Overall this was a great meal. Although the portions were quite small, being a tapas style, we were able to try several dishes. Next time we will try the ceviche.
