@mita_dc earns one Michelin star for 2025! ⭐️⁠
⁠
Huge congratulations to Chef @mguerra2 and Chef @tatianamorarangel and the MITA team!⁠
⁠
At MITA, Chef Miguel and Chef Tatiana’s cooking honors Latin America’s rich culinary heritage through both avant-garde and ancestral techniques—ranging from nixtamalization and fermentation to open-fire cooking. Their vegetable-driven dishes pair bold, expressive flavors with inventive, boundary-pushing artistry.⁠

Cheers to the entire MITA team—we are incredibly proud! 🥂 by @mguerra2

A donut with honeycomb and… cheese??? @donisima_dc has a “Heritage Donut” series and for the first of this series, they’ve partnered with Chef Isabella Coss of @lutecedc and @pascual.dc for the Semifreddo Donut!

It has a caramelized honey filling and is topped with honeycomb, and (the big twist) and thinly shaved, 18-month aged comté (someone please tell me if I pronounced that right!!!)

Tomorrow (SUNDAY 9/20) is the last day it’s available so head to @dc.thesquare or @lacosechadc to grab one while supplies last! I got there at about 1 pm on Friday and I scored the last one, so get em while they’re here!!

Would you try a donut with cheese??

Also, stay tuned to the end of the video for some surprise ASMR (or at least my interpretation of ASMR)

We’re incredibly happy (and truly humbled) to share that we’ve been named 2026 James Beard Awards Semifinalists for Best Chef 🌱

This recognition means so much to us, not only because it’s an honor, but because it reflects everything we pour into MITA every single day: our roots, our story, our culture, and the belief that food and cocktails can hold emotion, memory, and meaning.

To our team, our guests, and everyone who has supported us along the way, thank you for being part of this journey.
We wouldn’t be here without you.

This is just the beginning. 🇻🇪

The watermelon crudo at MITA (@mita_dc) goes back to the concept’s early popup days, when Chefs Miguel Guerra (@mguerra2) and Tatiana Mora (@tatianamorarangel) began defining a plant-based approach to Latin American flavors. ⁠
⁠
Virginia-grown watermelon is soaked in passion fruit and soy sauce, then layered with cucumber leche de tigre, aji amarillo, and miso-fermented carrots, before being finished with a crisp of white rice for texture. For Chef Guerra, the dish draws from ceviche as an ingredient reference rather than a direct translation, using acidity and texture to shape a vegetable-forward composition. taken in MITA Restaurant by @mguerra2

At @michelinguide-starred @mita_dc in Washington, D.C., vegetables are the stars, not supporting players.⁠
⁠
Kudos to Chef @mguerra2 and Chef @tatianamorarangel for their tasting menu, which reimagines Latin American flavors in modern, soulful creations. ⁠
⁠
Chef Miguel, one of the youngest Venezuelan chefs to earn a MICHELIN star, and Chef Tatiana, a sommelier who is the first female Venezuelan chef to do so, combine a reverence for ingredients with ancient and advanced techniques. ⁠
⁠
Their approach is mirrored in delectable cocktails by Beverage Director @luivindc, who was named one of the Best New Bartenders of 2025 by @punch_drink. ⁠

To my younger self being featured on a list like this once felt like just a dream. Hard work and discipline really do take you far.
As a Venezuelan immigrant, making it to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list and showcasing our culture, resilience, and work ethic is beyond words.
Thank you to every person who has walked with me and believed in this journey, especially on the hard days. You’re still believing, and there’s still so much more to come.

It’s not always easy but it’s always worth it.

D.C.’s one-MICHELIN-starred @mita_dc was welcomed by @platformbyjbf by the @beardfoundation!

For one night only, Chef/Owners @mguerra2 and @tatianamorarangel presented their celebrated vegetable-forward cuisine to foodies and cocktail enthusiasts.

Delectable dishes included Celery Root with Mole Negro, Yuba and Aji Amarillo; Watermelon Crudo with Fermented Carrots, Avocado, Cucumber and Wild Rice; and Humita with Chanterelle, Carrot, Cashew and Parsley.

The evening also highlighted an inventive cocktail and select wines from MITA’s Beverage Director, @luivindc, reflecting the same creative spirit that helped earn MITA its @michelinguide star and James Beard Award nomination.

It was a night of pure culinary electricity. ⚡️ by @mguerra2
