    Borrego   37.25 Grilled lamb chops, risotto with asparagus, mushrooms, artichokes and parmesan cheese, topped with a red wine reduction sauc
    Nisha B.

    Came during a Thursday evening. Happy hour started at 5pm. I had the pincho steak. These were just okay. The Chicken empanadas were really good, the cheese empanada was just okay. They had other HH items which included food and drinks. My friend and I had a pitcher of the caphrihanna. It was just okay. I had the Steak with garlic shrimp. $46. This plate was HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I had more than enough to take home. My friend had lambchops and risotto. The risotta was divineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I want some RIGHT NOW. Do they deliver to MD?!?! We had a shot, and shots are delivered in like champagne flutes with lime slices on a wooden board, with salt sprinkled on it. 1 Bathroom stall downstairs. Upstairs bathroom had about 3 stalls. Very tiny Menu is available on paper or on a tablet, where you can digitally see all of the photos of each food item I would def. come back!

    Ropa Vieja

    I was in the area and I was hungry so I decided to go to Mixto. When I was seated, I was a little surprised that they had an IPad as the menu instead of a physical menu. My waiter was very informative and helpful with my questions about the ingredients of the dishes I was interested in ordering. He gave me recommendations based on my preference and dietary restrictions. I appreciated how he highlighted authentic dishes. I ended up ordering a chicken empanada and a beef empanada (made in house), and they were delicious. I preferred the chicken empanada over the beef one. Then, for the entree, I ordered the Ropa Vieja. They server recommended getting a side of the hot sauce/salsa and to eat the sauce with the rice and side of beans, or eat the beef with the hot sauce/salsa, which gave a mild but slight kick to the food that I enjoyed. The beef was a little dry but the hot sauce/salsa made up for it. I would come back again to try the brunch :)

    It's the empanadas for me! We stopped by yesterday for drinks and some bites before heading to see Hamilton! It was around 5:15 and we were told they had happy hour at the bar until 7. Service here is good. Everyone is attentive and friendly! The happy hour menu is nice. They offer $25 half pitchers of margaritas which is easily shareable for two. We did the classic margarita but for me it wasn't that strong! We ordered a few apps - empanadas (chicken) and it was really good. The guacamole was ok, and it came with a few plantains. We weren't starving so we split an entree - pechuga de pollo with the lemon butter sauce and a side of rice and beans. Was tasty! If I'm in town again I would visit here again!

    Colombian Breakfast

    Mixto Restaurant offers Cuban, Latin American, and Caribbean cuisine at a convenient location near Washington Square. ---- Highlights: The restaurant feels modern and sleek and was very welcoming of an outside cake for our group's (10 people) birthday celebration. However, while our food was in great portion sizes, both the flavor and our service were lacking. ---- For my large party at brunch, Mixto was accommodating to a few latecomers. We were seated by the door, and this placement was not ideal as a wind tunnel is created every time it is opened, which blew strong wind into our faces and knocked over our napkins, both of which were unpleasant. I had the Colombian breakfast (Calendtado). The steak was both well-cooked and well-seasoned but the arepa felt very dry and overcooked! As a general tip, Mixto adds a 2.34% charge to your bill for usage of debit/credit cards. So I would recommend bringing cash, except...my party had a very difficult experience paying in cash, with one of the servers fighting us saying we were short one dollar. And even though we counted in front of them (for the correct amount), the problem was not resolved until a manager counted and indeed confirmed there was never an issue in the beginning. Overall, the experience of fighting over a dollar was unsavory. I'd like to hope my experience was isolated to our large group size.

    Had a great time here with a group. Very interesting place. Upstairs area with a mix of real flowers, fake flowers, numerous regal artworks, bar, iPads for menu, etc. I had low expectations for the food so pleasantly surprised.

    Ropa Vieja

    This was my introduction to the dining experience in Philly. I was staying at a place near by and while looking for something to eat, I first overlooked this place. I went back and looked at the menu and my tune changed! Mofongo, sweet plantains, cuisines with a latin and Caribbean flair?! I was sold. A quick walk and a friendly hostess later, I was seated outside to enjoy the nice weather. For my meal I ordered the Ropa vieja. Additionally, got the maduro relleno (not pictured) to go. The Ropa vieja gave me mixed feelings. The first bite of the beef was disappointing as it was a bit on the dry side especially the bits that weren't in the broth. This did improve as I ate more. The major saving grace for this dish was the yellow rice and sweet plantains. The rice and plantain combination has always been a childhood favorite and they fried these plantains at the best stage of ripeness. The soft, sweetness with the savory of the rice was perfection. Washing this down with a cold presidente was a good recall to living life on an island (how I miss such simplicity). The Maduro relleno on the other hand was so damn good! Admittedly didn't know what I was expecting, but opening the plate to a plantain boat coated with cheese exceeded my expectations! After the first bite, I was happy to be in the privacy of my hotel room to enjoy this. This thing was devoured. My phone definitely could not eat first this time. Overall a good experience for a first meal in Philly after a long morning of traveling. Fair warning (?) there was a 3% or so charge for using my credit card. If you're one who isn't fond of those extra charges, bring some cash along.

    We were a dinner party of six. The family members had a funeral to attend the next day. We all wanted to spend time together at a fabulous restaurant. I started out with a pitcher of Blood Orange Mojitos and it was fabulous. I had the seafood soup and it was a 5 out 5. The soup was teaming with tiger shrimp, mussels and clams. Its broth was both fresh and savory. Dinner was the grilled octopus with grilled mixed vegetables. The octopus was not as plump as I have had at other establishments. It could have been seasoned a touch heavier. It relied too much on the melted butter. I would score it a 3 out of 5. Others in party all had different dishes from each other and rated theirs a 5 out of 5 across the board. I did not make it to dessert. We had a wait staff of two and they were attentive, eager to please and enjoyed what they do. Come and Enjoy!!!

    Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had the. chicharrones appetizer. I had the lomo saltado. My steak dish was so chewy that it was unappetizing and didn't finish it. The chicharrones were ok. The waitstaff kept trying to upsell add-ons in a way that felt uncomfortable. Overall, underwhelmed.

    Street parking available or parking garage a few blocks away, not a bad walk at all. Made reservations but got there early and was greeted by hostess at stand as we walked in and seated in the upstairs part of the restaurant. They have a full bar and TV's with sporting events playing. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested the fried seafood appetizer which ended up being so good. She check in on our table and made sure we were good. While waiting for our appetizers to arrive we had bread to eat on and wait. While waiting this lady approaches us and asked to take our picture, umm ok. She's flicking away and I wait for her to then try and get money from us nope she says thanks and walks off (I heard her snapping away downstairs). She returns later with 3 photos in a frame and said they were $20 each. I did end up getting on since I was there celebrating but the whole encounter was different, like no communication at all.

    Mixto Golden

    The aroma captured me as I walked by due to my bus detour. I looked down at the plates of the individuals dining outside at a patio like setting. When I looked up at the menu posted outside. I was sold! Upon entering the dark wood abstract setting with Latin decor, I was instantly happy. The pleasant staff and aroma of food was welcoming after a long day at work. Cristian our server introduced himself with a smile. I asked his recommendation for a cocktail and was I pleasantly surprised by the Mixto Golden that was like a mini fish bowl with a Casamigis nip which I am still nursing. A couple 2 tables away had a pitcher of red sangria which sparked a happy conversation. My salad with grilled shrimp, mango and avocado was the absolute BEST!!! I tried a scallop from the risotto. Yum!!! This is my new go to restaurant in Center City.

    Everything was beautiful about Mixto for my first time visit! This place was recommended by a friend for a great spot for a nice vibe, beautiful atmosphere, multiple bars and it's overall welcome. Let me say, she wasn't wrong, everything was great! I walked in (this last Friday night) and the host was phenomenal! The host made sure to give me some recommendations, directions and assured that he could answer any questions. He was kind, fashionable and overall a great first impression when I stepped in! Everyone from the staff, management, and guests were what I described to my friend via text "dazzling." I chose to sit at the downstairs bar, and the staff were attentive and truly helpful! The drinks were made to perfection, the timeliness was on point and there were no complaints! I got food (not pictured), the fried calamari and the chicken empanadas! Whew, they were GREAT! The food was fresh, quick (but not rushed). I think the appetizers and the two cocktails were fitting for our quick visit! Nice, clean establishment overall. I will be back for a full dinner and/or a brunch! I've got nothing but great things to say for my first visit.

    Ok let's get right to it. After a fun week trying several great restaurants in Philadelphia I decided to take a small gamble and try something different after searching for good restaurants in the area I found Mixto, and boy was that a good find. This restaurant did not disappoint from the drinks to the appetizers to the main course, everything I had, and tried was excellent. Started with a very good cocktail, which I cannot remember the name of but the picture is in the post. Also had to try the mofongp and chicharron which were both amazing. My only reason for not giving this restaurant a five was because my main course which was lomo soltado with a twist. That was the only critique I could give, as it wasn't as good as the normal traditional dish. If it had been a solid as the traditional version, I would've given this restaurant a five hands down.. Definitely worth a visit! I

Oxtails taste sweet and needed salt and the right base for the sauce..was lacking the appropriate flavor profile. The rice tasted like basmati which is cool for Indian cuisines but usually with dishes like Oxtails or Jerk Chicken I'd expect red beans and white grain rice cooked in coconut milk for the flavor profile. Mussels are delicious, they just don't give you a lot of them if you go during any of their prefixed menu offerings. Coconut shrimp are good. Carrot cake was one of the best I've tasted in a long time. Even if your not a fan of carrot cake I think you'll enjoy. There weren't big chunks of fruit or nuts inside. It was layered, fluffy, moist, cream cheese icing spot on, just really spot on. I could have ordered a cake to go and left the food. Drinks are pricey for what you get in return. Some of the drinks are watered down, like their "Sex on the Boat." They give it to you in this cute boat shaped dish with a straw with flashing lights (photo/vid attached) but there's a ton of ice and not much alcohol or flavor. You also have to wait for your entire party before ordering appetizers. Very strange to me. Most places will allow you to order drinks and appetizers while you wait for the rest of your party. Also be mindful that there's an 18% charge for credit card. If that bothers you be prepared to bring cash. They typically will only allow you to split the check two ways so for larger parties it's best to bring cash to avoid confusion when everyone is paying for themselves.

So my brother and I decided to head over to see if what I heard was true. I'm happy to report, it was very very good! Some things to note: They take cash only. They have an ATM inside just in case, but make sure you have cash only you before you go. Make sure you pay attention when traveling to this establishment, as there are many intersections, one way streets, and streets that go from two to one lane. Also, there may be someone who will ask you to get them some food. Once we parked the car, we heard the reggae music coming from their front door. You can't miss it. The menu is on the wall, as well as being taped down to the counter by the order window. If they're out of something they will let you know before you order. When I went they were out of oxtail (a highly sought after dish in Caribbean cuisine). I had the jerk chicken with collard greens, white rice, and macaroni and cheese. My brother ordered the fried whiting, but I guess she didn't hear him correctly (trust me the music there is quite loud inside even though it's even louder outside), because he got the same thing I did. Now, we drove home, the car smelling amazing, and I forgot to take some photos for this review. But even so, I will definitely be back.
