Instructions: 1. Somehow find parking. I guess. 2. Enter the restaurant. From the back or from the front - who knows! 3. Marvel at the massive, architectural wonder of the restaurant. 4. Sit down, look at the small but fancy menu, confused. 5. Just order things. 6. Smile. Notable Mentions: 1. The restaurant really is that massive. It's pretty, I'm pretty sure it has multiple bars, and it's multi-storied. Well-designed. Well-done. I didn't think you could just have something like this in LA. 2. The drinks, oh, the drinks. I know a lot of people come here just for this, but they really are tasty, inventive, unique. And the garnishes might just surprise you! (look carefully at the pictures) 3. The food is also just great. This was for dinner. 10/10 would return. read more

The interior of Mirate is gorgeous with lots of interesting artifacts and pieces. While you wait for your table, can have access to a few lounges and the bar. The restaurant layout is indoor/outdoor can get pretty dark when dining at night. Parking: we found street parking but valet is available. Despite the nice ambience, the food was very mid considering the price. I was not aware that there was a rotating menu and was looking forwards to trying the carne asada y papas but it wasn't on the menu. I opted for carne à la parilla and it was as 12oz new york strip cooked and seasoned nicely. It was good but nothing special. The Aguchilies de cameron and branzino was again good but overpriced. The horchata came in a small 8oz cup and was also nothing special. Overall, the nice ambience was the highlight of the restaurant. read more

Third visit to Mirate. Daniella was a great host. Zoo was incredible in upstairs bar. She's a true expert of her craft. Went downstairs and Enoch was rude to us so we left. They have great drinks. Food is not my favorite. And staff is apparently hit or miss. read more

Mirate has a really beautiful atmosphere, with a great mix of modern and traditional Mexican design. The waiting area was especially cool, and the outdoor seating was immaculate. The booths had huge pillows that made them surprisingly comfortable and inviting. They also have a huge selection of alcohol, including plenty of mezcal options. Parking is available through street parking, valet, or a nearby lot for $9. Salsa Molcajete -- $7 The portion was smaller than I expected, but the spice level was just right. The salsa had a very smooth consistency and came with a good amount of tortillas. The tortillas were thin and crispy, which I really enjoyed. Aguachile de Camarón -- $18 A good variety of ingredients came with the aguachile, including red onion, cucumber, tomato, and radish. Each added a different flavor and texture, which made the dish more interesting. It leaned a little sweet for my taste, but the shrimp itself was cooked perfectly with a great texture. Daisy's Branzino -- $28 The branzino was a little smaller than expected, but this ended up being my favorite dish. The greens on the side added a nice freshness, while the crispy skin gave the fish a great texture. The guacamole was also a really good addition and elevated the dish. It was slightly on the salty side, but overall, the flavors worked really well together. Carne a la Parrilla -- $58 We ordered the steak medium and it came out cooked to perfection. The meat was tender with a good amount of char flavor, and the accompanying sauce paired really well with it. The flaky salt on top was a particularly nice touch and added just the right amount of seasoning. Virgin Horchata Pretty standard horchata and nothing particularly unique. It had a heavier cinnamon flavor, which was nice if you enjoy cinnamon-forward horchata. Virgin Jamaica & Mango This was much more refreshing. It tasted very fresh, almost like the flavors came directly from the fruit and plants themselves. Definitely my favorite of the two non-alcoholic drinks. Overall, Mirate is definitely worth checking out for the atmosphere and presentation. The outdoor seating is beautiful and comfortable, and while some of the portions were smaller than expected, the quality and flavors of the food were generally very good. The Daisy's Branzino and Carne a la Parrilla were my standouts. read more

5 stars for the ambiance, 5 stars for the drinks, 4 stars for the food and service. This is a gorgeous restaurant that makes you feel like you are on vacation. That being said I think the food is good but not amazing. With a group of 4 we were able to try a lot of the menu. The kampachi was my favorite. I'd definitely come back for drinks and it's nice to stay for a while. read more

This place has it all! Cute decor, delicious food, and excellent service! The trifecta! We went here on a Saturday for brunch to celebrate our birthdays and we had the best time. As soon as you walk up the stairwell you'll be transported into this super cute place with an outdoor-indoor feel, almost like an elegant treehouse. We were seated on the second level which provided a Birds Eye view of the restaurant. We ordered a few items to share: Cameron ceviche, flautas and for our sweet tooth, French toast paired with a mango sorbet surprise with a candle for our birthdays (tip: we drizzled the melted sorbet on our French toast and took small scoops with each bite - game changer!). Everything was so delicious! We also ordered mocktails, a miche-nada for him and a lemony drink for me. This experience wouldn't have been as great without the exceptional service we had. Our waters were always refilled without asking, our tables were cleaned with every dish, honestly top-notch service! Parking can be a bit challenging but drive around a few blocks and you'll find a few spaces. Worth the walk after an incredible meal. Happy eating! read more

Mírate is a stunning spot in Los Feliz that everyone needs to experience at least once! The restaurant interior is absolutely beautiful, and the presentation of both the food and drinks is pure art. While it is definitely on the pricier side, the flavors are extremely unique and delicious, making it worth the splurge for a special night out. My only real bummer was discovering they took the vegan ceviche off the menu--that was actually the whole reason I came back! I'm sure they have their reasons, but I was pretty disheartened to see it go. Overall, the menu doesn't have a ton of vegan items, but they do have some room for adjustments if you ask. Despite the menu change, the incredible atmosphere and unique menu still make it a must-try. read more

Pleasantly surprised at some of the menu items I hadn't tried. It was my first time for dinner last weekend and we were a private party celebrating a birthday. All dishes were shareable and there were certainly some remarkable ones. Starting with my most favorite the ceviche bites (I can't tell you exactly what it's called on the menu, but it was one bite that left you enticed for more!) if you like fish, certainly a must. My second favorite, the roasted rainbow carrots (the salsa macha was palatable all by itself!!). Third favorite, grilled chicken (again, not sure the name on the menu but, it was so juicy and perfect with the housemade tortillas). Other menu goodies, the steak (ribeye bites) tortillas with salsa/guacamole, carnitas (looked good), cactus appetizer, and cheese (and cactus?) quesadilla. Unfortunately, I think the menu was somewhat curated for the private party but I CERTAINLY think it's worth exploring. A lively atmosphere to add to it all! read more

One of the prettiest and most visually stunning venues for dining or cocktails in Los Angeles. I saw this spot on Nobody Wants This and knew I had to try it. Honestly, the food is stellar. Sometimes a movie location might just be all hype but Mirate delivers flavor and again is one of the most picturesque locales. The service is phenomenal. The bartenders were super friendly which isn't always the case. Servers were warm and made suggestions which helped! read more

Came here for an early birthday celebration. The staff greeting me with a happy birthday was sweet! The ambiance def gives Tulum. They have various seating locations with different vibes, some more intimate than others. Our server gave us complimentary drinks. My favorite being the agave! The taco I ordered was delicious, lots of flavors mixed perfectly together and the meat was tender. I had an additional cocktail and enjoyed the strong cucumber taste. The service was attentive, and it made the experience a lot more enjoyable. I left with a full belly without having to order too many things, as the portions are generous. read more

Went back a 2nd time and it was way less magical than the first. They had updated the menu and removed the ceviche (bad move) the two similar dishes they added didn't even compare. Service was good but not great and it's a beautiful place so that's still a plus. It'll be a while before I go back read more

Girl dinner on the open-air patio, and everything worked: food, drinks, and service that was attentive without hovering. Mírate is known for its agave program (ranked among the best bars in North America, with a dedicated mezcaleria), and it shows even in simple orders. Our skinny spicy marg, skinny Cadillac, and two ranch waters were all clean and well balanced. The crab & cheese buñuelitos, the taco de ribeye, and the potatoes & piquillos, which quietly outperformed for a $10 side. One note for fellow spice-sensitive folks: the salsa molcajete is their mildest salsa, but it still had a kick for me. My friend's branzino arrived beautifully charred and plated. If you're gluten-free or celiac, this kitchen gets it. They swapped in corn tortillas without hesitation and took care of my celiac friend with zero stress. Not a given, even in LA. The multi-level space is stunning, so come a few minutes early to take it in. Parking is easy too: valet at the restaurant or 2 lots about a block away. Already planning what to order next time. read more

This restaurant is really beautiful. I love the decor, the plants, and the cozy seating. It would be a lovely place to get a drink, I enjoyed El Taquero. The menu is tapas style. The guacamole and salsa molcajete was a great start to dinner. I feasted on a tostada de lengua and two tacos de hongo. The tacos de hongo were so delectable and by far the best thing I ate. Our server was pleasing and carefully explained the menu and answered any questions. The carne asada was not enjoyable for the people at our table and didn't meet their expectations. We spoke to a worker who was open to feedback and critiques regarding the new menu. He was able to help us out swiftly and exchange the items. read more

Mirate - Crab and cheese buñuelos - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came back after two years and brought some family who were visiting from out of town. I'm happy to say the vibe is still just as beautiful, classy, and lively as I remembered. It feels like you're somewhere in Latin America rather than Los Angeles. Parking is the same, goodluck, street or nearby structure/lot that you pay for. The menu has changed quite a bit since my last visit, and unfortunately some of our favorite dishes are no longer available. We got a round of mocktails! I don't remember the names of them unfortunately they are from the new menu which I was not able to find online to include the names here. Since there were five of us, we ordered a variety of dishes to share. -The Roasted Rainbow Carrots were just as amazing as I remembered. The carrots were colorful, tender, and still had a nice crunch. They were served on a flavorful yogurt with pistachios and a spicy oil that tied everything together perfectly. -The Guacamole Confitado was probably my favorite dish of the meal. It was incredibly creamy and packed with flavor. You could really taste the avocado, along with hints of citrus and garlic. Honestly, it might be the best guacamole I've ever had. - Crab & Cheese Buñuelitos, which were new to us. They were okay, but not a favorite. The cheese overpowered the crab, and the crab itself wasn't as soft and buttery as I was expecting. -The Pan de Pulque was delicious. It was warm, fluffy, buttery, and served with a miso butter that added a wonderful sweet and savory flavor. Definitely worth ordering. -The Ribeye Taco was one of the biggest surprises of the night. It only comes with one taco, which makes sharing difficult, but it was packed with flavor. The presentation is simple but honestly looks like a slice of steak on a tortilla with toppings but don't let that fool you. It ended up being one of the tastiest dishes we ordered. -Tostada de Lengua. I'm not usually a fan of lengua, but my husband loves it, and he said it was very flavorful and tender. --The Tostada de Atún was a bit of a miss for us. The tuna lacked flavor, and all I could really taste was the tostada and the spicy oil. It didn't have the fresh, bright flavor that I usually expect from tuna dishes. For our main dish, we shared the Carne Asada, which is a 6 oz New York steak served with tortillas. It also came with what looked like potatoes au gratin, which were cheesy, rich, and delicious. The steak was cooked medium-well, tender, and well-seasoned. My only complaint is that it's presented as a dish for making your own tacos, but the steak was sliced fairly thick and there were no taco toppings provided;no onions, cilantro, salsa, or other fixings. We ended up eating it as a steak rather than making tacos. Overall, we had a great experience. The atmosphere is still one of my favorites, the service was wonderful, and most of the dishes were excellent. Even though a couple of items missed the mark and I miss some of the old menu favorites, I would absolutely come back and bring friends again. read more

My partner and I finally had time and got a reservation so we could check out why this place is popular. We checked out the menu on the spot as we wanted it to be an element of surprise. I was excited when reading the menu and while everything sounds great, some of the items were underwhelming in size and flavor. Visually, the place is stunning. We were seated on the 2nd floor rather than on the first floor, which was cool. We got a view of the tree from our table. I ordered their version of a Piña Colada but it didn't hit the spot quite like I had envisioned when reading the menu. The cream was too thick and grainy. The aguachile was good. I forgot what version it was since this was for Mother's day, but it was definitely flavorful. The queso fundido was surprising! The Chicken Milanesa was a miss for me. I was told and warned it was huge, but I didn't enjoy the ham they placed on it. It was not enjoyable. The Chilaquiles were definitely better than my milanesa. Let's not forget the French Toast. I'm a french toast snob. Their french toast was DRY. The custard in the middle wasn't as sweet as I thought it'd be but the fruit was enjoyable. But it was overall dry. I believe we only got through 1/3 of it, which included the fruit. I may just go back and give it another chance, however, I might need to consult with my friends and see if they want to hang out for Brunch or for Dinner :) read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in LA. It's always a five star experience here, in terms of food, ambiance and service. We sometimes find parking quickly, but it's more often that we take awhile to find a spot close by. I've tried a lot of the things on the menu, and while everything is superb, the one thing I don't love is the fish, because of the way it's cooked. Other things on the menu which I think are standouts are any of the tacos, the carrots and the ceviches. read more

My husband and I came here for a date night/birthday dinner last month. We found it through a friend's recommendation. Looking at the menu we were a bit hesitant but we made a reservation anyway. It totally blew our expectations out of the water! The entrance is a bit hidden but once you're inside, it feels like you've been transported to a luxury island. It's feels very private and exclusive while also feeling comfortable and welcoming. Delicious cocktails and beer and the food was outstanding. I got the coconut margarita and my husband had the Mexican lager. We shared the chips and guacamole (holy guacamole it may have been the best guac I've ever had!) and salsa flight, so good!! For dinner we shared the ribeye taco and the pork sopes. Both were a bit on the spicier side but SO flavorful and delicious. Would love to come back! read more

What a beautiful and romantic place to dine in! Loved everything about this restaurant!! From the beautiful bar/lounge when you enter to the giant tree in the middle of the restaurant, everything screams a perfect date night. The tacos are very delicious and the mezcal drinks were amazing here. The mussel chorizo appetizer was underwhelming and I wish the cut bigger pieces of chorizo in it. The pork shank main dish was delicious but I think id have appreciated some side sauces or picked onions. Overall, a 10/10 experience and will definitely be back to try moreeee tacosssss so yummy!!!! read more

Attractive Mexican inspired bar and restaurant with a delicious selection of cocktails and assorted drinks. Very spacious and airy with lots of natural light and tasteful decor throughout the space.

The staff here were very kind and friendly to interact with, well versed with the drinks and made our time there enjoyable. read more

I was really hoping to leave a positive review, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I've been to Mirate before on June 20, and my experience then was nothing like my visit on July 10, 2026. One of the reasons I recommended Mirate is because it's known for being a highly rated modern Mexican restaurant with exceptional service and knowledgeable staff, especially when it comes to tequila and mezcal. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at all. Before ordering food, I asked our server about the differences between the mezcals and which flight they would recommend. The only explanation I received was, "It's just different families, so I'd go with the higher quality one." There was no real information or guidance, and it was obvious they didn't know much about the mezcal selection. I ended up choosing one based solely on what sounded best. We were then informed that the menu had recently changed and is now mostly tapas. That's perfectly fine, but I noticed several items from my previous visit were still available, so I figured I'd order a few favorites along with some new dishes. Most of the food was actually great. The ribeye tacos, tostada, and buñuelitos were all delicious. However, the carne asada was extremely disappointing. We only sent back one plate because I felt bad sending both, and that's when a manager (the gentleman with the man bun) came over. He explained that they have a new chef from Oaxaca, but what confused me was that they were serving Argentinian-style steaks as their carne asada. Instead of a traditional Mexican-style cut, it was thin, flat, and honestly looked like a breakfast steak. For a restaurant that prides itself on being a modern Mexican restaurant, serving Argentinian steak as carne asada just didn't make sense to me. To his credit, he removed both carne asada plates from our bill, which I genuinely appreciated. After that, he asked if there was anything else we'd like. I personally said no, but someone else at the table asked for one more ribeye taco. The manager replied, "You know what? I'll bring you one, and I'll bring them another too." Naturally, I assumed he was offering the extra taco as a goodwill gesture since I hadn't ordered anything else. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the bill and realized both tacos had been added to our tab. I wasn't going to argue over the price of a taco, but it was frustrating because I never asked for it. In fact, I ended up giving that taco away to my friends. If it wasn't complimentary, it shouldn't have been presented as if it were. Another thing worth mentioning is that while the carne asada portion has clearly gotten much smaller, the price remains exactly the same, which doesn't seem justified. Overall, my biggest disappointment is that there was no indication when making the reservation that this was essentially an experimental period with a new chef introducing major menu changes. Had I known beforehand, I never would have recommended Mirate for our dinner, and to be completely honest, I probably wouldn't have made a reservation at all. I only get two days off each month, so this was supposed to be something I could really enjoy. Instead, it honestly felt like a waste of my time and money. I'm sorry to say that while there were a few good moments, they faded very quickly. Unfortunately, the negative parts are what have stayed with me, and that's what I'll remember most about the experience. It's disappointing because I know how great Mirate can be since I experienced it just a few weeks ago. I truly hope they can regain the quality of food, service, and overall experience that made me recommend it in the first place . ( for the picture of the flat carne asada the full steak has 2 more strips added but we had tried it before taking a picture however that's MOST of the "carne asada" portion in the picture ) read more

5 star experience for sure. Mexican Cuisine with a beautiful, classy ambiance. Perfected. Their seafood selection is wonderful! Firstly, the Crudo De Temporada CHANGED MY LIFE. Holyyyyy freak it is so delicious. Genuinely, after every bite i closed my eyes & savored every second. It was so insanely good. I can't even tell you what they put on top of it but every single thing added to the experience. A photo is attatched below. YOU MUST order this, trust me. Secondly, the Ribeye Tostada was so so good. Hard to share, but we managed just fine. I think it is so delicious. Third, shrimp tacos were very delicious. I don't reallly like the amount of melted cheese on there but that's just my preference. Everything else was rlly good. Last, for dessert we got the Chocolate cake. I still don't know what type of fruit was in it but mannn did i enjoy this. I LOVEEE a deep deep deep chocolate taste. It was almost like a ganache. Love . I will return. read more

From what I know, it seems or at least feels like Mirate is equally adored for their contemporary (elevated) Mexican food and their bar program. My recent visit was only to get a drink or two before heading to another spot. I saw/ heard that they had an eggnog (rompope) cocktail temporarily on the menu for the holidays and I felt like I would regret it if I didn't at least stop by to try it since I'm a fan of eggnog. First of all, their space is gorgeous. From the outside, it doesn't even give you a hint how huge this place feels. Definitely a cool spot to take people to impress. I came in and was able to sit at the bar right away, cause it was a little on the early side for dinner. The bartenders here are so friendly and the genuinely feel like they love what they're doing and know what they're talking about. I of course ordered the rompope as soon as I could. As I was finishing up my drink, they let me try some of the fermented prickly pear or colonche as well. Both drinks were absolutely delicious. This is a spot I look forward to returning to and have a wonderful meal at. read more

When you are making an online reservation, double check it. For some reason, I booked for 4 people and the reservation only counted for 2 people! The hostess would not make an exception (rude), but we were able to compromise and eat at the bar area downstairs. It was a Saturday night and our reservation was for right when they opened. This place has an interesting layout. You walk up stairs to the hostess. There is restaurant seating upstairs. I thought that was it for dining, but no. We were seated downstairs in the bar area and next to it was more dining. The downstairs area was beautiful and looked like we walked into another world. We sat in a communal table between another group and another couple. It turned out to be fun because we were getting recommendations from the group next to us and even tried a mescal flight (not my thing). The shared items were really good, especially the main items like the branzino and the carne asada. The experience downstairs made a difference than the hostess experience (-1 star for the hostess). I gave a gift certificate to our friends who just moved to the area but strongly recommended to have a reservation before they go. read more

Came to Mírate this evening in search of some delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine. Was overall happy with our visit but think the value wasn't fully there. I'll start by saying that the space itself has been beautifully curated. You head up a large flight of stairs and feel transported into a lovely internal space with both an upstairs for reservation seating and a "communal" area down another staircase. Communal space is unique and I guess helpful for cases where you don't have a revelation. It's where we sat. The service was good, and staff was kind. I think the communal area makes taking care of folks a little bit more challenging but they were attentive. The food itself was tasty and rich in flavor. Our appetizers were good and we had the salsa platter, toron, and the smashed avocado. Toron was my favorite. Had a couple tacos and the carne asada as well. Everything was tasty but generally felt over priced. $12 dollars for a single taco seems pretty high and the drinks at $20 were good I didn't think should command that price. My drink came in a can when I was expecting a cocktail which wasn't ideal. Lastly the potatoes that came with the carne asada just felt a little confusing as a side. Overall food is good, vibe is great, but make a reservation and plan to spend a good amount to get any reasonable amount of food. read more

Came here for a girls' night and overall had a really nice time. The entrance is cute with small stairs leading up to the restaurant, tucked next to a bar. Inside is very dark, moody, and romantic, definitely great for date night. Drinks: My friend got the Mi Sancho, which she said was strong. Another friend had the Coconut Margarita, which she loved, and I got the El Güero, which had just the right amount of spice. All of them were really good. A little pricey, but worth it. Food: Ceviche Mixto(9/10): Fresh fish and great flavor. Just wish there was more fish and less yuca. Caesar Salad (8/10): Refreshing twist on the classic, anchovies were a surprise but a good one, dressing was a touch heavy Mussels & Chorizo (6/10): Least favorite. Mussels were chewy, sauce was good but the tomatillo milpero was a bit overpowering. Carne Asada (8/10): Tender but a little fatty. Potato gratin was creamy and good. Heritage Pork Chop (8/10): Juicy and full of flavor. Loved the green apple slaw, didn't care much for the salsa macha. Pastel de Chocolate (9/10): Rich and very moist. The chayote inside was unexpected. My friends didn't love it, but I didn't mind. Overall, our server was friendly, helpful, and service was fast. The food was good but not a I need to come back situation. The drinks, though, were really good and definitely the reason I'd return. read more

We had such an great experience last time that another night was needed. This time it was ok. Right when you walk upstairs, there was someone who I thought was the hostess. She told us to go right insides to downstairs where the hostess would be. The top half bar and restaurant was closed off for a private event as I found out. Downstairs restaurant part wasn't too busy when I was walking downstairs as there were a good amount of empty tables but the bar area was packed. Checked in with the hostess whom was very sweet and friendly. I asked how long for a table for four and was told that the restaurant was basically bought out. If we wanted to have a meal, it would basically be first come first serve at the bar area. Wow, someone must be having a fun night having taken over the restaurant part. I wanted to check with the group before committing and trying to find a section at the bar. We ended up going for it. There was a corner that had four seat but we found out that that area was only drinks. No food would be served there except the hi top tables. Basically when something open, you grab it. We ended up getting lucky as a group was leaving and took the table. Water did come out pretty fast but the service was a little slow trying to order drinks and food. It was quite cold as we were near the walkway which had a breeze the whole time. Anyways, waiter finally came to take our order. Last visit was for brunch, so obviously the menus are different. Dinner menu has a good selection on started for sharing. Tacos, cold dishes and some mains. Drinks had a massive selection on cocktails. Full bar so I'm sure whatever you want they can create. Keeping it simple, a couple of margarita. We also had one with a shot that was an additional fee. When that was brought out, it had the shot with some ground cherries and dried/fried crickets. I've had them before in Mexico City so I knew the taste. Our spicy margarita with mezcal was quite nice. Price wise (18.00) was decent. Priced pretty much similar to other places. Food wise, had two orders of the smashed avocado (guacamole 18.00). That came with whole tortillas chips. Had two orders as the option wasn't that big. Mains, there were mixtures of tacos which are a la carte. The waiter mentioned if we wanted a meal out of it, 3 orders should be good. If you're sharing a couple of dishes, 1 or 2 will be good. Also had an order of the lamb albondigas. -Taco Campechano (11.00), brisket, chorizo, queso, fries, salsa verde cruda on corn tortillas. Flavors were quite nice and the touch with fries was unusual but it worked. -Taco De Cochito (11.00), roasted pork, honey fig truffle, salsa verde cruda, chicharron crumbs on corn tortillas. It was tasty. -Taco El Gobernador (11.00), shrimp, poblano peppers, quesillo and chihuahus cheese, pickled onions on a corn tortillas. This was one of the favorite. -Taco De Hongas (11.00), maitake mushrooms, avocado mousse, nopales on corn tortillas. -Lamb Albondigas (22.00), pulque, salsa borracha, delicate squash, halloumi and mint. This dish was quite tasty and flavorful. Meatballs in a flavorful sauce. It's a share plate. Overall, the food was good. Tacos are a la carte and not that big. Share plate was decent size. Drinks were good. If you're there for sharing, a good amount of dish is needed as portions are quite small. We got lucky with a bar table which was nice. Between dinner and brunch, I'm leaning toward brunch better. read more

Mirate seems to be headed DOWNHILL. This used to be a phenomenal high end, unique, eclectic establishment with a huge menu full of foodie unique items. I used to force any guest I was with to try their mesquite/elote appetizer along with their crab dip and I looked forward to getting one of each of their exotic tacos. It really seemed like you couldn't miss. They also had a very experienced wait staff to guide you to choosing the best options. WELL..... I was there last night for a birthday gathering and boy did I feel bad taking credit for coming to Mirate. The menu has completely shrunk, the best appetizers and entrees are no longer available and the service staff seems to have had a lot of turnover. I believe their previous chef (who was a genius) is gone and boy was that felt both in the food preparation and in the menu items themselves. They have also gotten much more budget friendly which would usually be a positive but when I'm in an establishment as beautiful and eclectic as this one with an entire tree running thru the middle I am expecting high end unique dinner items which previously felt worth the cost that are just not present anymore. Additionally of the 3 carne asada steaks that were ordered only one was medium rare. The other 2 had to be sent back and the Branzino's we ordered were tiny and pretty dry with no sauce or lemon on them at all. Very disappointed with what this restaurant has become and I most likely will not come back. With such an upscale feel there should be a menu and a staff that matches. This almost felt as though we were at a rooftop beach view restaurant that went from an extravagant, unique menu to a very small, ordinary menu. Menu must match atmosphere and setting! read more

My girlfriends and I came here for dinner on Saturday night. We go reservations online. When checking in, they ask that you wait downstairs. Once inside, you realize the restaurant is pretty spacious inside! The restaurant itself is so beautiful and a great vibe for a GNO or a date night! We got seated and all the servers were so kind and helpful. Between the three of us, we got: - queso fundido: this came w a side of tortilla. The queso was tasty. We substituted out the chorizo for mushrooms and enjoyed this a lot! - ceviche: this came w a side of tostada shells. Also very good and good portion size to share. - tuna tostada: probably the one skippable thing we got, but by no means bad. - carrots: this came with a sweet creamy sauce and another side of tortillas. Very enjoyable with or without tortillas. - 3 mushroom tacos (one for each of us): highly recommend! Sharing these dishes between the 3 of us was more than enough food. We actually didn't finish the portions... though the sides made looked small, they were quite filling bc of all the tortilla and tostada shells we were given. lol! We each got an alcoholic beverage. I think our bill came out to around $170ish (plus tip). There is valet parking. However, I found neighborhood street parking for free. read more

Loved the ambience, the drinks were amazing! We had the coconut margarita, the Cadillac, and the Tom's margarita. We had the Crab & cheese buñuelitos (a whole 3 and not fresh unfortunately), salsa molcajete (delish), tostada de atún (delish), and taco de Pulpo(omg that pineapple salsa). Our neighbors had a carne asada taco and those were very good they said. If I had a 2nd visit I'd still get the salsa but opt for the carne asada taco. Service was great! Very attentive and regularly checked in. read more

Great ambience and vibes at this spot. It's a quintessential bougie LA Mexican spot, which is definitely reflected in the prices! Cocktails range from $18-22, but are very good. Service is solid - they're quick to take your finished plates and make sure you have water, but they were delayed in seating our party despite our reservation. They also accidentally charged us for a drink no one ordered - always check your bill! Onto the food: tacos are big and good here, though you're ordering a la carte. Tacos range from about $11-13 for each. We did some shareables and then each ordered 1-2 tacos and it was enough food. We shared 2 desserts amongst our party of 4 and thought the desserts were excellent. We got the tamarind cheesecake and blue corn cake. Valet is $15 and street parking can be tough! read more

Such a pretty place!! This on the 50 best bars list and I can see why. It's upstairs and then has lower area level seating as well with a beautiful tree in the middle and Mexico City kind of vibes. We went for a girls brunch it was the perfect aesthetic. Emma, our waitress, helped us decide what to order for drinks and food, thank you Emma! Everything was amazing. All of our drinks were made so well, all tasted smooth with great flavors. We tried the el guero, la sonadora, and la toxico - none of them disappointed. For food, we shared everything and went the salsas de la casa, taco campechano, taco de cochito, ceviche mixto, and chilaquiles. I would order each of these dishes again. Everything was so flavorful and satisfying. Safe to say we enjoyed our brunch, definitely recommend Mirate! read more

Si!!!!!!!!! The most creative and delicious tacos are at Mirate. I cannot wait to get back for more. The cocktails were good too.

Had a great experience at this cute spot. I came here to celebrate my mom's birthday and made a reservation. Our waitress suggested ordering a bunch of items to share, which worked out really well for the table. We tried a mix of tacos, salsas, and drinks. The tacos were well seasoned and the whole concept is fun. The colada though was more like a coconut raspado, heavier on the ice than the drink. It felt like I was getting a side of drink with my ice. The ambiance is nice, just not super traditional. It leans more Mexican American than fully Mexican, which may or may not matter depending on what you're looking for. Street parking is a bit of a headache, so valet is the move. I paid $15. Prices are on the higher side, but for the area and the vibe, it makes sense. read more

This was our first time eating at this restaurant. We parked in a public parking lot around the corner from the restaurant off of Kingswell Ave. There are many wonderful plants inside. The customer service from the staff was courteous and attentive. We ordered huevos rancheros and huevos a la casuela from the brunch menu. The steak in the huevos rancheros plate was tender. We ordered cocktails and a beer. We ended our meal with a soft and velvety bread pudding. We will definitely come back again. read more

Food was amazing and so was the ambience. Probably one of the best Mexican food I've ever had. A bit on the pricier side, but definitely worth it because of the vibes. Moody and can be romantic. You would not have guessed how big this place was from the outside. Servers are extremely friendly and service was on point. read more

Came to Mirate for a birthday brunch after a friend invited me, and overall had a very nice time. We had a noon reservation but probably didn't need one since it was pretty empty and we were seated right away. The ambiance is beautiful, very nature inspired, with interior design like stepping into Mexico City. Service was okay, everyone was nice but nothing above and beyond. When my friend mentioned it was my birthday, our waiter congratulated me but didn't offer a complimentary dessert like I'd seen in other reviews, so that was disappointing. I ordered El Cal Burrito ($21), which was filling and came with a delicious salsa molcajete. My friend got the taco ($11), but heads up the order is literally one taco. Parking is tough, mostly metered parking on Vermont for two hours. The restaurant offers valet, and there's also $8 self parking behind the Thirteenth Church of Christ. Definitely had higher expectations for this spot especially for the prices but the food and ambiance is solid. I'd be open to come back for dinner. read more

Came to Mirate in Los Feliz for our anniversary dinner and it couldn't have been a more memorable experience. The ambiance is stunning--there's a large tree in the center of the dining room and the subtle burnt sage aroma creates a calming, almost transportive atmosphere. It genuinely reminded me of dining in Mexico City, with that blend of modern design and earthy, traditional touches. We tried a variety of dishes and every single one impressed. The salsas de la casa were vibrant and flavorful, a perfect start. The krudo, tostada de papa y aguachile, taco campechano, taco de cochito, taco el gobernador, and tostada de atún each had their own standout flavors--fresh ingredients, thoughtful pairings, and beautiful plating throughout. For dessert, the pan de elote was exceptional, warm and comforting, and paired perfectly with the banana ice cream. Overall, Mirate was the perfect spot for an anniversary dinner--unique ambiance, refined flavors, and a setting that makes the evening feel special. Highly recommend for any celebration or memorable night out. read more
