MITA is a groundbreaking restaurant in Washington, D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood that redefines Latin American cuisine through a vegetable-forward lens. Founded by Venezuelan chefs Miguel Guerra and Tatiana Mora, MITA began as a pop-up series celebrating the vast diversity of Latin vegetables, herbs, and traditions. Its success led to the opening of a permanent location in December 2023—and within a year, MITA was awarded a coveted Michelin star for its immersive, bold, and thoughtful approach to modern dining.

At its core, MITA is a celebration of heritage, creativity, and wellness. Each dish draws from the chefs’ Latin roots while embracing global influences, vibrant produce, and sustainable sourcing. The menu is both health-conscious and indulgent, rooted in tradition yet unapologetically contemporary. Guests can expect a dynamic tasting menu experience that’s as colorful and soulful as the regions that inspire it.

Beyond the food, MITA is a space of intention and connection. Designed to be warm, expressive, and community-driven, it reflects the values of its chef-owners—culinary innovation, inclusivity, and holistic well-being. Tatiana, also a holistic coach, infuses the restaurant’s ethos with mindfulness and purpose, while Miguel brings his fine-dining precision and creativity to every plate.

With its singular voice and visionary leadership, MITA is not just a restaurant—it’s a movement. One that invites guests to rethink Latin cuisine, celebrate the power of vegetables, and connect with culture in a deeper, more delicious way.
