I came here for brunch and had such a wonderful experience. The cocktails here are something special. I got the mi sancho and the coconut margarita, they were both some of the best cocktails i've ever had! We started with the salsa which was sooo fresh and addicting. Next they brought out the fried chicken tacos, that was my favorite food item, it was insanely delicious and i'm so glad i ordered it. The queso was another delicious dish. We also got the yucca y plantains, it was a very unique and flavorful dish, yum. The last thing we got was the mollete, the guac was super fresh and the sourdough had such a great tangy flavor. I loved every single thing we ordered and would definitely come back. The actual restaurant was also so cool i loved the open air atmosphere and tropical vibe! The service was great too. Love this place read more

This place made it to Top 50 bars of the world and I can see why. Their cocktails are delicious and they take so much care and thought into excelling at what they do here. The drinks were definitely the highlight of the experience but the food is excellent as well. I forget the name of our cocktail but it was based off an Al Pastor taco, and you could really taste the pineapple, the pork fat, the tortilla even and it was quite delicious and not like something I've had before. The food was great, also, but my personal favorite was the pork shoulder. Their tacos are $10 a piece, but if you get the pork shoulder, you'll get several tortillas to make your own tacos and the meat is so tender, beautifully balanced, not too salty, and delicious in its own right. The yuca fries were great as well, and definitely save room for the cheese and guava tart dessert which was unlike something I've had before. Definitely elevated and definitely worthwhile. Come here! read more

Mírate is a great option for the Los Feliz dining scene. Love the atmosphere, food, and overall experience! It's a multi-story space with a lush interior: lots of foliage, plants, murals, natural light with the open ceiling and gorgeous tree in the restaurant's center. The bar is a major highlight, especially due to the amazing tasting cocktails with Mexican spirits. The "El Guero" and "Tu Compa" were especially delicious! I loved the small plates like tacos! We had the Cochinita Pibil, Pork Belly Tacos, Fried Chicken Tacos, Asada, Kampachi Aguachile Tatemado, and Mushroom Tacos- all which were excellent! Our waiter was great, he provided us great recommendations and wonderful explanations of the menu and drinks! If you're looking for a great restaurant that hits all the marks, this is it. read more

Modern take on Spanish food. What an awesome spot. Took my friend out for her birthday. Def not a cheap night out lol. Went at night the place was well lit with candles on the table. Looks like there's a retractable roof thing going on and a real tree...right in the middle of the restaurant lol. Almost looks like your at a house (albeit a fancy house) in old mexico. Anyway, food was great! Started with a chorizo and banana turon. I normally dont like sweet and savory..but this was really good! Mole sauce, a cheese foam. Sweet, smokey, savory..good :). Next, my friend got the grilled porkchop with fennel and apples. Didn't really look or taste Spanish but this was just GOOD. The warm chop with the char + the fresh salad was great!! Had the carne asada on their house mole with their house made blue corn tortillas. Awesome! Smokey, lil spicy. N for dessert the chocolate cake with chayote...i was expecting a poached pear like situation but the chayote was in the cake...kinda took me by surprise! But again, awesome...moist cake, very chocolate forward without being clawingly sweet. There's an espresso sauce that comes with it too...geezus. and finally their drinks! The one that stuck out was their el compte! It looks like a can of squirt, the soda. Citrusy, grapefruity, with a touch of alcohol. They even can it themselves! What a great time! Friendly service, we talked a lot about the food combos and inspiration. I guess he liked that im a chef, I duno lol. Parking like most LA is a bummer...all valet. There's a few pay lots around if you can find space on a weekend. Def worth checking out!! I know ill be back. read more

I made a Valentine's Day brunch reservation at Mírate and was really looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, we arrived just 2 minutes past the grace period, and instead of being seated at our reserved table, we were placed in a different area that was noticeably less comfortable. I completely understand that restaurants have policies, especially on busy holidays like Valentine's Day and I respect that they need to manage reservations carefully. However, given that we were only two minutes past the grace period, it felt a bit rigid and not very accommodating. A little flexibility or even a heads-up that our seating time would be shortened from the 90-minute window would have gone a long way! The food itself was flavorful and beautifully presented, which made the experience even more disappointing that the service experience fell short. Unfortunately, the hostess staff didn't come across as very warm or welcoming, which set the tone for the rest of the visit. I understand policies are policies, but hospitality is also about how those policies are delivered. We left feeling a bit disappointed, especially for a special occasion brunch. read more

Everything here was exquisite! From the service, to the food, drinks, ambiance! I've had many a cochinita pibil and this was BY far the best I have ever had. You could slice the pork with a spoon. The taco gobernador (shrimp and poblano pepper) was incredible! Had a couple mezcal and tequila drinks and they were very good. This place has everything nailed down to a T. So glad my wife and I decided in this place for our anniversary dinner. Parking was easy enough as they have valet. Will definitely be back read more

It's a restaurant that you see in a lot of list of restaurants to try in LA but it's another place where if you are more into the drinks than the food it's the spot for you. Food it's not the greatest as a lot of publication make it seem. Portions are small, product is repetitive, and way to pricy and trust lei like to spend money but in great food. Ambiance it's good to go with friend, not recommended for families read more

11/10 favorite brunch spot Mirate is one of those restaurants that makes you fall in love with brunch all over again. The space itself is gorgeous, airy, vibrant, and perfect whether you're catching up with the girls, celebrating a birthday, or just treating yourself to a slow morning. I ordered the Agua Chile, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. My friend had the Chilaquiles, and we were both impressed...layers of flavor, done perfectly. But the star of the entire experience for me? The Café de Olla. I'm not exaggerating when I say I still dream about it. One of the best coffees I've ever had--rich, spiced, and absolutely unforgettable. Everything here feels thoughtful, from the food to the presentation to the overall vibe. It's not just a meal, it's an experience. read more

I absolutely loved this place! I got to go on a date with my partner here and it is so beautiful inside! I want to start with the staff. Everyone was so kind and friendly. Every staff member we passed said hello and our server was so helpful. She gave great recommendations! The food was amazing! We got one entree and 3 smaller plates all to share and ended it off with a dessert. It's a bit pricey however it was worth it for a nice date spot! Can't wait to return :) read more

Visited Mirate for brunch with my girlfriends. We needed to wait for one more so we grabbed a drink at the bar. The drinks were fantastic tasting both the Tommy margarita and my favorite, the coconut margarita. We sat in the atrium and the open air with the music provided a fun vibe. We shared the queso fundido to start. I ordered the chilaquiles which were amazing! Overall the food and space made this a great spot to meet up. read more

Perfect place in Los Angeles for romantic evening. I went here with my Wife and enjoyed drinks and food. Ambience is perfect. Make sure to get the red snapper Pescado, Sarandeado .Location is great. Make sure to visit the bar next-door for the last drink five stars. read more

Hidden gem with immaculate vibes. Everything we had was super tasty, fresh and seasoned well. I would recommend the Chips n salsa sampler, brisket taco and the mole app. Jamicia y mango was so refreshing. Perfect for a date night or solo dinner. The chicken liver pate was very smooth and non-irony. read more

I had dinner here last night and it was pretty good. The restaurant space itself is quite unique and doesn't feel like a typical LA restaurant. It's a rather large restaurant, spanning two stories and feels like a little escape from the city. The food was very good, especially the rainbow carrots and kanpachi Aguachile. I would order those two items again. The guacamole also tasted great but the portion for the price with a little bit on the small side. The mezcal flight was fun to try too ! My only criticism would be that I thought it was just a pricey. The service was solid, no complaints. read more

Had an amazing experience at Mirate! The atmosphere was super welcoming, and the staff were incredible! so attentive and great at explaining the menu, wished I could have gotten their names I only got Miguel's shoutout to him made us feel at home too! The queso fundido was rich and flavorful with chili pepper and diced tomatillo, and the tacos gobernador were a standout! perfectly cooked shrimp on a blue corn tortilla. My friend loved the pork and asada tacos too! Dessert was a highlight! Thank you Mirate team! The guava cheesecake with guava ice cream on a crunchy piloncillo and honey peanut palanqueta was so good! Beautiful ambience (you can take pics anywhere!), plus we even had a view of the observatory towards the back on the second floor. Please note the menu is always changing, the most recent reviews may have a latest and most accurate menu items! Valet was only $16 and the drivers were very kind. Definitely coming back! read more

This place is so pretty! I came here with some friends for my best friend's birthday and I'm glad we went. The front entrance is small and next to a bar, there's a lot of little lights, open space. The interior design is so cute! The waiters were attentive, filling up our water whenever it was low, very knowledgeable about the food and the drinks. They were always around, but they weren't like hovering over us, which was really nice. The food was really good! My two friends got Chilaquiles and I don't think they liked them too much. Appetizer: queso chorizo dip, comes with 4 tortillas. Tacos: I was expecting the Tacos to be smaller than my palm, but these were actually quite large and very filling! The review includes the check so check it out. read more

Stopped by this Mexican-inspired brunch spot with the girls and had a good time! I got the Croque Senora which was a twist on a Croque Madame but with lamb barbacoa and consomé on the side. It was good and seasoned really well, although a bit pricey for the size and value. Service was quick and attentive, and the open patio space is beautiful and nicely decorated. read more

I'm no stranger to Mirate, as the ambiance, spirits, food, and service are exceptional and keep me coming back. This time we changed things up and opted to have dinner at the bar. We were greeted by Adam H (two Adams behind the bar and both were fantastic as mixologists and servers), who truly raised the bar for what a dining and drinking experience should entail. This bar is busy, prepping drinks for the folks at the tables as well as those at the bar. Adam(s) didn't miss a beat and did it all with expertise, were super friendly, and made our experience top notch. Sitting at the bar changes the experience all together. Learning about one of the largest Mezcal selections in the USA, it is hard to figure out whether you want to go the route of cocktails or give some Mezcals a try. We started with Pulque, often dubbed "the drink of the Gods" was hand pulled from the tap at the bar. We then started into our adventure of mixology, each trying a different cocktail offered on the menu. Adam led the way, making suggestions based on our taste. None disappointed, but I always lean into El Guero. Delicious, get it! We took our time eating, starting with appetizers and adding a few dishes as we progressed through the evening. The Queso Fondido has to be the best we have ever had, with the sauteed leeks just putting this dish over the top. The chips (tostadas) were plentiful as they accompanied the salsas which were delicious, the Queso Fondido, as well as the Kampachi Aguachile Tatemado. We moved on to Yucca Sucias, an absolute must. Yucca fries smothered in shishito queso and chorizo verde, this dish is not to be missed. The Quesadilla was the last dish ordered, a corn tortilla filled with huitlacoche, cheese, and guac. Dessert always closes out the night, even when sitting at the bar. Who knew? Churro Donnas and Gansote were the choices and both did not disappoint as reported by my family. I simply could not indulge. I was stuffed. This establishment is wonderful from all aspects. It is inviting, comfortable, and simply beautiful, situated in this bustling Los Feliz neighborhood. There are two entrances, on off of Vermont and the other in the back alley. Regardless of which way you enter, know that you will be well taken care of during your stay. Street parking is ample, watch the signage to avoid ticketing. Valet is available, as well as an $8.00 lot reserved for the Dresden or neighboring establishments. Enjoy this experience, it shouldn't be missed. read more

My friend recommended this restaurant for dinner, and I was curious to see how I would feel after a long ago visit closer to when it opened. I remembered being impressed with Mírate's space, and entering the restaurant reminded me of how impressively it's designed. After you walk up the darkened staircase, you enter a stylishly lighted space that is enclosed while providing sky access; it's a nice mix of being indoor while connecting you to the outdoor ambience. We ended up sharing several items for dinner. The highlights included the pork belly and fried chicken tacos. I was impressed by the tender pork in the taco, and the chicken pared well with the Brussel sprout leaves and ranch dressing. The shrimp in the ceviche borracha had a firmer texture than expected, but I appreciated the mix of sweet and savory flavors. The cochinita pibil had a spice kick to it that was a nice surprise. I liked both of my cocktails (including a seasonal take on rompope that was creamy and not overly boozy), and the churros for dessert had a citrusy flavor undercurrent that pared well with the ducle de leche (which benefited from the miso making it not too sweet). read more

We came to Mírate to celebrate my husband's birthday, just the two of us, and it was such a memorable night. The atmosphere is vibrant but still feels intimate--perfect for a special occasion. Our server, Brittany (apologies if I'm spelling that wrong), was absolutely amazing. Attentive without hovering, super knowledgeable, and made us feel taken care of the entire evening. Multiple staff members also stopped by to check in throughout the night, which really made it feel like everyone was invested in our experience. We started with cocktails, and each one was crafted with so much creativity: * El Taquero No. 2 - smoky, citrusy, layered with mezcal and pineapple. * La Soñadora - a clarified gin milk punch that was smooth, unexpected, and perfectly balanced. * Watermelon Daiquiri - light and refreshing, perfect for summer. * Coconut Margarita - rich, tropical, and indulgent. * Tommy's Margarita - a classic done right. We also tried the Insurgente Pale Ale, which paired well with the food. For appetizers, the salsa molcajete came out with bold charred flavors, the Caesar salad had a unique hemp seed crumb twist, and both tacos we tried (fried chicken and cochito) were excellent--the cochito especially stood out with the honey fig truffle and chicharron crumble. For our main dish, we shared the Cochinita Pibil, which was fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. The pickled onions and beans balanced the richness perfectly. Bottom line: From the food to the cocktails to the incredible service, Mírate really delivered for a special night out. Every detail... from presentation to hospitality; made it worth it. Definitely a spot we'd return to for another celebration! read more

I would go back just for the amazing aromas coming out of their kitchen, very different and unique flavors from all over south east Asia. Highly recommend trying the coursed meal for two, everything was yummy including the espresso martinis. Service could have been better, our server was pretty overwhelmed and was handling too many tables which effected our experience but overall its a solid hidden gem in Santa Monica. read more

Just OK. So I took my wife here It was highly recommend from a colleague. He told me it was a Mezcal bar. So since my wife loves. Mezcal I thought it would be a great place to try out. When we sat down, we couldn't help notice that there's another bar right next-door that had super loud music. So we couldn't really even enjoy the ambiance that much because all we could hear is the music from next-door. The food also was very basic. As well as the drinks nothing special. read more

When we were here in May of this year (please read my initial review below), we were blown away by the beauty, elegance, and authenticity of Mirate. I noted that I wanted to come back at the holidays for some gifts from the Tienda, now housed in its own little niche near the front bar, re-styled, Tiendita. We were warmly greeted by the receptionist and told to take all the time we wanted. (We could have sat in the alcoves adjacent to the bar and sampled the possibilities, had we not been pressed for time.) I had done my homework, studied the history and concept of mezcals (which I have discovered and found I like, me, a teetotaler!) and then asked for help making a selection from the carefully curated selection of one-of-a-kind spirits (from tequilas, to mezcals, to sake!) in their respective niches. Aldo came to help. I explained what I was looking for and showed him my two choices. He advised me on the merits of each and I finally chose a rare vintage (and limited collection -- only 50 gallons left anywhere) exclusive to Mirate, its owners having judiciously identified the mezcalero as one of the oldest and best in Oaxaca. Aldo gave me a short biography of the cooperative Tres Tiempos, bagged up the bottle and reminded me that we could attend a flight where we would learn more. As our previous experience here suggested, Mirate is the best of the best. I cannot imagine this ambience, quality, and customer care anywhere else. The store itself is a little experience, well worth its own visit. Make sure you pick up the Mirate beverage booklet and prepare to be educated on mezcal and more. read more

Staff were friendly but couldn't find a spot other then a common shared table which was fine. Waitress was super cool and attentive.

I watched the youtube video of the POV bartender for this place. Great watch that goes into detail about each of their cocktails that they make in house. Of course I had to then go try all these cocktails which is what I did! | F O O D | Salsa- they give you fried blue corn tortillas that you have to break Queso Fundido 8.5/10- the leeks and chorizo in it made it sensational! Smashed Avocado 6/10- their version of guac just wanted some more texture Quesadilla 6/10- really good just get the queso fundido instead Baby Gems 4/10- the texture was off for me Aguita de Melon 4/10- I didn't like the combo of flavors Rainbow Carrots 8.5/10- the Tom Kha sauce was addicting Mains: Fried Chicken Taco 9/10- I was shocked at how good this one taco was! Short Rib and Bone Marrow 9/10- the meat, beans, and top with a little guac all wrapped in a warm tortilla PERFECT! Dessert: Churro Donas 8/10- my family was too full so I ate them ALL! Drinks: Tu Compe 7/10- fruity and has a fun little game when scan the QR code El Guero 4/10- way too spicy for me El Caminate 3/10- tasted like a jolly rancher not my thing | A T M O S P H E R E | The place is beautiful with plants and brush flowing throughout the dining area. They have an upstairs and downstairs in the middle a giant tree providing lighting and beautiful spectacle. Made it better that the chairs were so comfortable having pillows in each seat. | O V E R A L L | I went for the drinks, but was honestly disappointed, but I shouldn't be shocked since most of the drinks they have are with mezcal which is no bueno. I still enjoyed trying them and our waiter was very helpful in trying to find me a good cocktail for me. The entire meal was my family saying why haven't we found this place sooner. I enjoyed the meal greatly and when my family loves it even more than me thats a win! We will back for a good time 8.5/10 read more

I'm not the type of person to leave reviews at all but I was really looking forward to trying Mirate, but unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The restaurant itself is beautiful but the overall energy just wasn't there. The food was average at best, and the drinks (mocktails) were honestly terrible. I ordered the horchata and the Jamaica y Mango, and both were among the worst drinks I've ever had. I couldn't even finish them and we had to send them back for soda instead. The service also left a lot to be desired. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty, the staff seated everyone together in one corner, which made it hard to enjoy my date. I could hear every conversation happening around us instead of our own. I had high hopes for Mirate, especially since I came here to celebrate my birthday, but it just didn't live up to the expectations. Beautiful place, but unfortunately, the experience didn't match the aesthetic. read more

The restaurant is super cute. I felt like I was in Oaxaca, Mexico. You go up the stairs and you will see the lounge area and the restaurant is on the first and second floor. There is a huge tree in the middle. You have to go to see it. The food is small servings, so you can order a few plates and share. We had the ahi, Cochinita pibil and guacamole. It was all fantastic! The drinks are amazing but a little on the pricey side. The service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and gave great recommendations.

The most perfect date night spot. The weirdly un even stairs at the entrance is 1000% worth the absolute beauty of an interior. Are we inside? Are we outside? I'm not too sure. Greeted by the sweetest host Teresa? Who guided us to the front bar where John took care of us. He was absolutely charming in the way he found out what cocktail specs i wanted. (Cricket old fashion yes please) alex and Josue were absolutely amazing in guiding us through the menu and dealing with my boyfriend and I's silly jokes and kept up with our banter lol Ok but let's get to the actual star of the show! The Fooooooood holy guacamole Batman! We started off with a shrimp and cheese taco which if you don't know they go together Stop what you're doing, pack your bags, hop in the car and get to mirate for the shrimp and cheese taco. Tostadas and salsa were so interesting in the best way! I felt like i could taste every ingredient in each salsa and each exploded in my mouth! My favorite of the night kampachi i can't stop thinking about it! There's sooo much going on and every aspect of this dish compliments the other! Very well done chef Alan i love you For mains we had the mole blanco which sounded weird as heck so we got it. Not disappointed at all! Best way to describe this dish whimsical! I transported to heaven! Branzino omfg omfg omfg omfg how'd yall get that fish to melt in my mouth like butter?
