About the event
A seated Día de los Muertos dinner
CENA DE OFRENDA is a one-night Día de los Muertos program built around a seated holiday dinner. The format centers the meal on Día de los Muertos traditions and memories, with a traditional altar, or ofrenda, as part of the event. The food component is described as Mexican seasonal dishes with pairings, giving the dinner a defined holiday subject rather than a general restaurant service.
The event is scheduled around Día de los Muertos on November 2. It has a recorded start and end on the same listed evening window, and the exact timing can be handled in the event details rather than repeated in prose.
Anniversary tasting dinner
The dinner is also described as a multi-course anniversary tasting dinner connected to Amparo Fondita’s anniversary. The source description specifically frames the event as a celebration of Día de los Muertos and three years of Amparo Fondita, so the program combines a holiday observance with a restaurant milestone.
The menu details available here stop at the program level: Mexican seasonal culinary dishes, pairings, and a multi-course tasting format. No individual dish names, beverage names, or course count are included, so the most useful planning takeaway is the structure of the dinner rather than a dish-by-dish preview.
Host and place
Amparo Fondita hosts and organizes the dinner with Chef-Owner Christian Irabién. The restaurant is identified as a Mexican restaurant and fondita in Washington DC, and the event is tied to Amparo Fondita’s P Street NW address.
Taken together, the supported details point to a single-night, seated restaurant dinner with a holiday focus, an ofrenda component, Mexican seasonal dishes and pairings, and an anniversary connection to the host restaurant. Those are the concrete elements available for deciding whether the event matches a diner’s interests.
