Mita
Vegetarian Peruvian
In the Shaw neighborhood, Mita serves an all-plant tasting menu that draws from across Latin America with confident creativity: arepas arrive in a basket with guacamole and cashew sour cream, watermelon crudo swims in cucumber leche de tigre. Chefs Tatiana Mora and Miguel Guerra build umami through layered vegetable dishes that feel neither restrained nor novelty-driven, but simply generous.
