   the restaurant MITA, a rising star in the District of Columbia's 
    thriving culinary scene, on its first anniversary, which was on 
  December 29, 2024.MITA, spearheaded by Chef Miguel Guerra and Chef 
Tatiana Mora, is a vegetable-forward, Latin American restaurant located

their accomplishments.
