Walked across the street and found the entrance in the back with a cute entryway and an amazing AMAZING space for seating! This is a must go for anyone looking for an incredible vibe good food and people that you want to support cus the love they show is evident. We couldn't stay so we ordered one drink and food to go but very excited to go back and really sit and enjoy our time. Thanks to the team yall are incredible read more

Fantastic sushi tapas experience. The mackerel with pickled strawberry was outstanding--we ordered it twice. The bluefish maka roll was subtle but incredibly flavorful, and the bluefin sashimi was excellent. The hamachi crudo was a standout. The Arizona sake was a pleasant surprise--very good--and the cocktails were well-crafted and perfectly balanced. Outdoor dining was delightful. It could get a bit noisy at times with the street traffic, but it honestly added to the overall ambiance. Service was great, though a bit slower than expected. Lesson learned: order a few tapas at once. That said, we never felt rushed, even with a table of 10, and the team handled everything really well. We've definitely found a new favorite. read more

We've driven by this place so many times and finally decided to give it a try and I'm so glad we did. They don't take reservations and the space is fairly small (which initially made me nervous), but we were able to walk in and get a table surprisingly easily. The vibe was awesome right away: great music, warm welcomes, and an energy that truly felt communal. Although it's labeled as tapas, the portions were much larger than traditional tapas and were definitely shareable for two people. The food was wonderful overall. The green chile empanadas were our absolute favorite, especially paired with the bell pepper sauce, so good. We also tried the croquettes, which had great flavor, but the texture was a bit too mushy for my personal taste. The sea bass ceviche was hands down one of the best ceviches I've ever had: fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced. My only wish is that it came with chips or something to scoop it up with. The scallops were our least favorite dish of the night, though that's likely because we don't normally eat scallops. Even so, I still ate them. Pricing is a bit on the higher side, so it's probably not a regular weekly spot, but it's perfect for a special occasion or a night out you want to feel a little elevated. Overall, it was an excellent evening and I would absolutely recommend giving this place a try! read more

Definitely a unique menu and beautiful little spot to perch at while waiting for our table at glai baan. Their back patio has fresh herbs growing and you'll see plenty of middle eastern decor: teas, herbs, glassware and pottery scattered throughout. It's a cozy date night spot or a nice evening out for the girls. I enjoyed the yellowtail thoroughly but we did not expect the tacos to be so so small, especially since it was my friend's main. I also didn't expect it to be cold chicken salad inside so that was a bit of a bummer. Besides that, we heard raving reviews about the short ribs from the table beside and I love that this is also a mezcal bar. Music to my ears! If only they had a live band on the patio to tie up the vibe for the price of those baby tacos! read more

More of 4.5/5. The restaurant is almost at corner of Osbourne and 24th st . Cozy place with friendly service. Food is generally good except for the pork dish. It was salty for us . Burrata and bluefin tuna were delicious. read more

Met my friend here for dinner just after 5 and it wasn't busy yet. It's in an old house so not a lot of tables. I hate to use the word cute to describe the atmosphere but that's the first word that comes to mind. They serve mezcal cocktails and wine. I opted for a Spanish wine that was served chilled and opened up perfectly while I was eating. The menu is tapas and sushi rolls. My friend and I split the empanadas with green chilis and shredded beef, shredded chicken and avocado arepes and a Valentine's special ravioli with ricotta cheese. All of the bread and pasta is made in house. Like, go back and read that again, they make the bread! This place is great for a date or like I did; catching up with an old friend. The desert was epic: Ecuadorian chocolate with banana slices and bread pudding. Definitely go here. read more

Our first time coming here last night. Seems like a new neighborhood restaurant. The restaurant seemed small and modern like ambience. It only had a few tables and a good size bar area with seatings at the bar Everything on the menu sounded delicious. They had sushi options and other hot plates. The bar was mostly wine , spritzers, beer and a few mezcal cocktails. They didn't have liquors. I ordered the salmon tartar and we also had the shredded chicken avocado arepas The arepas was so flavorful ! Super delicious ! The salmon tasted very fresh. Plates were small though. More like a tapas type I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu. The server /owner was very friendly read more

Wonderful meal shared on the patio under the trees. Parking is limited but flavor, service and ambiance is expansive. Menu changes periodically. One of my favorite new places. read more

Absolutely loved this place all around, atmosphere, service and food. My friend and I met our 2 other friends here at 4:00 pm right when they opened. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated by a very nice and friendly young man, who was our server throughout the evening. The restaurant is very small, no tables bigger than to hold a party of 4. The bar though was big, it could accommodate a lot of people. They also have outdoor patio seating which looked very inviting if the weather was cooler. We started off with the smoking deal they offer, a bottle of wine and a Bruschetta Board for $30. We ordered through out the evening cocktails and beers. They have limited cocktails, but the ones they offer were excellent. I had The V and Serendipity. The 4 of us shared all the tapas orders which were the Truffled Hamachi, 12pc Sashimi Assortment, Green Chili Beef Empanadas, Chicken Skewers, Spicy Salmon Avocado Maki and the Yellowtail Aburi. All was EXCELLENT! This was my first time here and definitely will not be my last. read more

The is place is the real deal--the sushi you've always craved but never tasted. Definitely check it out for a 5 star experience! Delicious! Some of my faves: Green chile beef empanadas Hamachi Kama Yellowtail Aburi & Bluefin tuna read more

I'm almost hesitant to review this place because it isn't crowded yet. Wherever these chefs come from, it must be somewhere good--they clearly care about what they're making. The plates are inventive, confidently mixing influences from different cuisines, and the result is deeply satisfying. read more

Ok so to be fair we didn't get in so can't really opine on the food the service or the ambiance really. However, we walked in and someone with a stern face came around the bar and promptly informed us that we couldn't be seated for at least 45 minutes. There were 3 seats at the bar and we were like "no problem, we can just order drinks at the bar" and the person was like no, you can't. So good on them for setting expectations but seriously, you can't serve me a drink? That's just bad management. We won't even try to go back. read more

Yes, yes, yes...all of it was great! Food, ambience and service were excellent. I forgot to order the first thing I wanted, pork short ribs, until the end when I was already full. Oh well, ordered them anyway and so happy I did. It ended up being my favorite! The arepas and salmon tiradito were a close 2nd and 3rd! The variety is worldly! So good! read more

Truly I'd give 4.5 stars if that was an option, but overall it was good! My group had various items we split. The drinks everyone loved - one was the "vi" and one was similar to a cinnamon whiskey sour, I can't recall the name. The sangria was good. Food wise we had the bruschetta, ceviche, lamb, croquettes, empanadas, spicy salmon roll, and the chicken skewers. Most were really good except I'd say the croquettes weren't that flavorful. It wasn't the best lamb dish I've ever had but I still enjoyed it. read more

Charming, cozy and warm comes to mind when describing dining here. I drive by every day on my way to work and have seen how this place came to life. From seeing their sign come up to their patio being installed. I made a mental note to tell my husband about it and for some reason I forgot. We've been planning to have dinner today for a bit and I was craving raw fish, anything sushi or crudo related. He told me I'm going to take you to a spot near home and to my surprise we came here. We both loved it. It's a great date night spot. I don't know how it's not more famous, it was good for us because there was no wait but I'd love to see this local business grow. My favorite dishes were the yellowtail and bluefin tuna maki and the Hamachi sashimi. I love the diversity and creativity of the menu. The menu changes seasonally and most plates are small but shareable. We were a little hungry so we shared 5 plates + dessert. Service was great and the staff is friendly. I liked getting to know the staff and where they come from. Parking is at the back and somewhat limited. Their patio looks so nice - definitely coming back to dine at the patio soon. Hands down our new favorite PHX restaurant. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Mixela is a MUST! We planned to go to a Thai joint across the street and when they told us there was a two hour rate the owner recommended Mixela. They did not disappoint! Everything was incredible. Ceviche, short ribs, burrata ... and because we weren't quite satisfied, we ordered the assorted Sashimi (yellowtail, salmon and bluefin tuna) and all three were incredible. Some of the best sashimi we've had in a long while (and we are big sushi fans). Best of all was the service! read more

Mixela is easily a 10/10. Highly recommend you stop in! The space is intimate, well decorated and intentional. We stopped in for some wine and just had some light bites (ceviche and seasonal burrata) but we will absolutely be back for a full meal. The menu is what I would describe as international fusion tapas. Think small plates that pack a punch! The flavor and texture combinations are creative and delicious. Chef Gian Franco brought us over a seasonal burrata with a grape reduction and celery and it was one of the best burratas we've ever had (and I truly don't like celery much but it was exceptional.) This is a great date night spot and the wine and beer list is very thoughtfully curated. We will def be back soon!! read more

Great little gem in central Phx! Cute little place with outside seating in the front. We went on a Thursday and took advantage of their bottle-and-board special. It was terrific.

Honestly, we came to this restaurant because the place we wanted to go across the street was full. It absolutely did not disappoint. I accidentally deleted the pictures, but the presentation was beautiful. The menu had a lot of variety, and the taste was excellent. Both me and my dining companion were very happy. Great service, too. I had an event to go to, and they were able to get me my food quickly when asked. Thank you! If I'm back in this part of Phoenix again, I will definitely come back. read more

The food and service play the leading role in this dining experience and the European inspired atmosphere with artsy chic touches help wrap it all up with one gorgeous, velvety bow. The dishes offered combine familiar flavors with a uniquely mouthwatering and delicious twist. Additionally, they have an excellent selection of wines and creatively crafted cocktails. The V is my personal favorite! Chef excels in the kitchen and it's tapas style foods so be brave and try a bit of everything. You will not be disappointed. The owners are lovely people who have a gift in balancing hospitality with outstandingly delectable food. Always a favorite to enjoy for a date night or with friends and family. read more

Excellent new spot! Same team that did Nonna which was awesome. It's a small menu but everything we had was great. I think the highlight was the focaccia with pesto and baba ghanoush. I wasn't expecting to LOVE the baba ghanoush as much as I did but both that and the pesto was amazing. The service was lovely. I heard it's chef-owned which is wonderful. Highly recommend trying this great new local spot! read more
