Previously a pop-up in a food hall reported closed March 2023. Moved into this stand alone restaurant space end of Dec. 2023. Upscale Latin food. Offers a 14-course tasting menu - look for the addition of a la carte items. Fancy Latin themed food, for example asado using mushrooms instead of beef. Reported open February 2024. Open Tue-Thu 5:00pm-10:00pm, Fri-Sat 5:00pm-11:00pm. Closed Sun & Mon.

Expensive, amazing - Edit
Worth it to add an order of arepas to the tasting menu in my opinion. Incredibly tasty and interesting. Worth it for a splurge

Amazing experience! - Edit
I visited Mita during restaurant week and we had an amazing experience!
Read moreThe menu included four courses and an optional add on of arepas.
Everything was delicious and the presentation was excellent!
Vegans and non vegans in my party enjoyed every bite 😊
I will definitely come back for the 14 course experience! I can’t recommend this place enough.

Was this the $75 prix fixe menu? I thought the website showed 5 courses, any idea why you got 5?

It was a 4 course restaurant week menu for $65 and the fifth one was the add on arepas.

Fantastic fine dining experience - Edit
I had been hearing a lot of buzz about MITA where "Latin vegetables and flavors take center stage," and finally got a chance to try it last night. It was fantastic! Absolutely loved it but am so sad that it's a pop-up that will be going away in early January. Maybe it will open somewhere else then, but if you want to sure to experience MITA, go as soon as you can. It's located inside La Coshecha (Latin American Marketplace near Union Market.)

Great tasting menu - Edit
My boyfriend and I enjoyed a 7 course vegan meal at Mita. The dining room is small, so make sure you have reservations. Each item was made to order in front of us (the kitchen is in the same room). The flavors we're well balanced and there were some really unique Latin American dishes. We had some great dishes like a vegan tuna crudo and a mushroom risotto. The meal was a bit pricey, but definitely comparable to other vegan tasting menus like Equinox or Fancy Radiah and less expensive than Elizabeth's Gone Raw. I would absolutely go back.

Not very tasty and $$$$ - Edit
I’m not impressed with this place. Very nice and fancy, yes but the food is so bland. The location is very expensive. No parking is free and will have to find a space. It is all up for grab. You expect that from DC anyway. The food is not edible. I will not eat again from there. I’m sorry for giving this place a bad review. I strongly believe vegan restaurants should earn 5 stars. 😢
Read morePros: Fancy place, Visible kitchen, friendly

Delicious, Latin-Inspired Cuisine - Edit
Mita is a small restaurant inside La Cosecha, a Latin collective of cafes and stores a block from Union Market in Northeast DC. It's a small glass cube, seating fewer than 20 people. The menu on the site is really a seven-course tasting menu of creatively cooked vegetables and grains. I'm still trying to decide which dish was my favorite. If you want a drink, you scan a QR code and order a drink from El Cielo, a bar in the collective. Although we made a reservation, it wasn't too busy for the first hour or so we were there.
Read moreIt is rather expensive, but it's an excellent deal for the money and an amazing culinary experience.
Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff
Cons: Expensive

Amazing Latin fare - Edit
I love Mita. I have been multiple times and always leave satisfied.
Read moreIt's best to go with a friend or two and order one of everything. It's really high quality food and the price can reflect that, but it's not out of line with other places in DC
