A short San Fran lunch break run allowed me to stumble on Mixiote. The menu is very abbreviated, which makes sense given the smaller worker population in SF financial district nowadays. It's Mexican fusion and I tried a little bit of everything in their menu. My bowl had both the chicken and pork along with the quinoa and beets and veggie noodles. It was flavorful and satisfying without making me feel like it will put me in a food coma. Chips come on the side. Limited seating, about 3 tables, are in-site. It's a bit difficult to find, but just look for the sandwich board pointing the way. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Mixiote is a small takeout cafe in the heart of the Financial District. It's hidden under the stairs in the Sephora building! Food was delicious and great value, more affordable compared to other lunch options in this area. Bowl also comes with sides of chips and salsa! Service was very quick and friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

Mixiote - chicken and rice bowl - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

I work at Salesforce East tower and this place is my go-to for lunch, I had tried all their menu and it was worth it. From their burrito, quesadillas, nachos, chicken rice, pork quinoa everything was delicious. read more

I'm occasionally in downtown SF for work, so I'm on the lookout for good lunch spots. A coworker suggested Mixiote, which I was down to try. I ordered the chicken and rice bowl - the service was fast, the bowl looked great, the amount of chicken was generous, and the price was awesome. The free chips and salsa was a great bonus. This would be 5 stars if there was an option for chicken breast + an option for spicier. I'll probably be back - and I'll order with avocado next time! read more

This is the perfect spot for lunch! The Mixiote bowls are absolutely incredible, and I can't get enough of their beet quinoa salad--pair it with any of the chicken, pork, or rajas con queso for a winning combination. This isn't your typical Mexican restaurant. The flavors are spot on, and their healthier options will leave you satisfied without that post-lunch slump. read more

Office days and rain don't always mix. Sometimes you need a quick lunch option while trying to stay dry, and that's how I ended up trying Mixiote. The menu is pretty straight forward, bowls, salads, nachos with your choice of meat and toppings. As a lover of all things rice, of course I went the the bowl. I went with the chicken which is made with thigh meat and cooked in a sauce so it wasn't dry which is always a plus. I dunno if this was healthy or healthy adjacent but judging from all the veggies and bright colors, I'm just gonna tell myself it is. Either way, it was a big enough portion for a normal appetite. The bowl price starts at $13.50 and with guac and other additional premium toppings it came out to just over $17 before tip. The chips they gave with the order were fresh, crunchy and really tasty. They had an orange salsa that was habanero, good amount of spice but not too crazy. If you can't handle spice, this one will prolly be too hot. Solid option for a quick and tasty meal near salesforce tower area read more

Mixiote - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

A new food counter, well hidden in the back corner of the Salesforce lobby. So hard to stumble on randomly and even a little hard to find if you are actually looking for it. A bit Chitpole-esqe in that you choose your protein and choose your carbs. But much tasiter than Chiptole! Pork & Chicken Rice Bowl: I actually asked for a half-n-half mix of pork and chicken so I could try them both. I really liked the smoky red pepper sauce on the chicken. The green pepper sauce on the pork seemed a little more subtle and also the amount of sauce seemed less too. But both meats came in a good portion. The only surprising thing is that neither meat seemed particularly slowed cooked. The meat on their website looks more stewed. But still very tasty. Especially with all those nice veggies on top of that turmeric rice. read more

got the lamb barbacoa plate and it was so tender. the tortillas were fresh and the little onions on top made it perfect. small spot but the guy at the counter was fast. read more

A very tasty and delicious authentic Mexican spot to grab some grub. They have some healthier options on the menu for those that are trying to keep health conscious while eating outside. Definitely try the pork burrito and ask them to make it spicy! It was super tasty. The portion size is also quite large. The staff was super friendly and willing to accommodate our requests. Will be back again!! read more

A solid lunch option, hidden away by a staircase in the Salesforce East building. They're only open for lunch Tuesday through Thursday, so make sure to check the hours (and the calendar!) before you go. My go to is the rice bowl with chicken, which doesn't look like that much food, but is actually very filling -- a side effect, perhaps, of the deep containers they use. I've also enjoyed the quinoa and salad bowls. They give a free bag of tortilla chips with your order, and offer both mild and spicy (habanero carrot!) salsas. I'm not kidding when I say these chips are the best takeout chips I've ever had. They experiment with other options sometimes as well, with a rice pudding, a soup, and a salad. Just be aware that because they're experimental, you should check what they're actually serving that day -- I recently received a beet & greens salad when I was expecting the fantastic kale salad from just a week earlier. Bummer! read more

New, good service and food. Willing to customize your order even if you don't see it on their menu.

Lovely food, healthy and tasty - and so accommodating for vegans. They switched out pesto with cheese for avocado, black beans and spicy habanero and gave me a discount for the avocado by not charging me for it. Chips free. And such kind service staff. Special shoutout to Arturo at the counter for remembering my vegan needs as a repeat customer. Thank you! read more

Veggie noodles with pork - absolutely amazing! Took about 5mins to prepare and they had free cookies and coffee (both of which were wonderful). Servers were very kind and it's a cute little place to grab and go. Much quicker and more fresh than the food trucks across the street. Pork is very tender and liberally sauced with a a little kick to it. Noodles are very fresh and have a wonderful dressing on them. I'll definitely be coming here again to try their other items! read more

Mixiote - Quinoa Bowl - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Mixiote is located in the back of the lobby at Salesforce East or 350 Mission. The restaurant is family owned and Alma, the owner, and her two sons are so friendly and warm. They offer a simple menu of bowls and a few sides. I like both the chicken and pork bowls over the yellow rice. The chicken is a bit more spicy. They also give a free small bag of chips. The chips are delicious! The bowl looks small but it's actually a very hearty meal when you include the chips. I highly recommend Mixiote. Check it out and help this small business. read more

I got the pork on carrot/zucchini salad. The slow cooked pork was tremendous, tender with great flavor. The chips were also very good and both salsas were tasty. Very generous portions and everyone was extremely nice and friendly. Will definitely be back and recommending to my coworkers just down the street. read more

A hidden gem in the building opposite Salesforce tower. Their bowls are delicious and consistent. I had their quinoa bowl with Chicken Mixiote and found the preparation and combination tasty. Do get their daily Agua Fresca, got their refreshing hibiscus tea on my visit. Quick preparation and healthy!! read more

Kind of easy to miss Mixiote the way it's tucked into the lobby which is a shame because It's SO good! I've tried and really like all their different bowl "bases," the meat is super tender, and veggie toppings are all great. Their salsas are really good too. Really friendly staff as well, and the owner started this place within La Cocina--awesome to see her dream turned reality. I love supporting La Cocina and the talent they promote. read more

Can't beat this place for its take on Mexican inspired food bowls! The flavors are insanely tasty from one type to the next. Fresh ingredients, marinated meats and vegetarian options make for a super delicious "on the go lunch" for downtown SF! You won't be disappointed. read more
