Top Mix Bar & Kitchen - Caribbean baked chicken, white rice and bean This was absolutely delicious. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Loved this spot! They have an extensive menu and a full bar!! I didn't try any of their alcoholic drinks this time but there were quite a few that intrigued me so I'll likely be back to try those. I tried the top mix sampler to get an assortments of apps to try and it was quite good (but also huge, definitely something to share with a few others!!) the Dominican fried cheese was one of my favs on this but the pork shoulder and chicken was also very good. Wasn't a huge fan of the plantain chips, but I typically don't like plantain anyway. I also tried the guac and chips which was simple but good. They were the good kind of chips with it too. For meals we got the marinated steak tips which were very flavorful as well as the Caribbean bbq chicken with Mac & cheese which was probably my favs Mac & cheese was super cheesy and the chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned/sauced. Also tried fried Oreos for the first time for dessert and they were so good! read more

Wow, well where to begin. Chose this place near by Son's Brookline apartment, where we could all find something on the menu. Made a reservation, unnecessary at 530 pm on a Sunday. Music was blaring very loudly like it was disco time, but only one table was occupied besides our threesome. Lighting was pink or purple from neon, made the food looks strange. Odd ambience for such an early hour. Ordered a tropical drink and some cokes. Drink was called One night in Old San Juan and was sweet, but unremarkable. Went straight to the entrees without appetizers this time. Son ordered a burger with maple and bacon side fries, and seemed pretty satisfied. Spouse and I both ordered the tropical rice bowl. He had the Caribbean honey baked chicken, hold the avocado. I had the grilled shrimp with no beans on my bowl. I asked for the shrimp to be grilled well done, as opposed to sauteed but they came out mushy anyway. Orders were accurate but we did not enjoy our meals. Sad because the ingredients were hard to find under the MOUNTAIN of sauces piled on the rice bowl. Glop squirted all over, glop of multiple kinds, even, which obscured any flavor for the meats. The bone in chicken was impossible to eat in a bowl. Super messy but nice char. A side plate would have been appreciated. Anyway, did NOT take our massive leftovers home because of the glop. Never again. read more

I came by on a Wednesday afternoon and sat outside. There were a good amount of people dining in. We were serviced by Emmanuel, who was extremely friendly and helpful. I ended up trying the top mix Caribbean flight. All of the drinks were more on the sweeter side and extra sugary. I also tried the beef pastelitos. They were a little small but really juicy and flavorful. I will most likely be back for those and to try other menu items. There was also an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill. read more

Had a nice lunch here coupe of weeks back. The ambiance is more chill and casual. the music was a bit too loud for us, specially considering it was the middle of the afternoon and there was just 1 more table occupied. The service was friendly and quick. There aren't a lot of vegetarian options, so keep that in mind. The street corn was delicious. I had the beans and rice as my main dish, the beans were tasty. Husband had the burger, it was just your average burger, nothing to write home about. The fries were nice and crispy. The sweet plantains were very good. Overall a good meal. read more

On February 6, 2026, I had an extremely odd disturbing experience here due to the conduct of the manager, Darlin. This is at the Roxbury location. I ordered a cocktail that tasted like old ice -- it had a stale, freezer-burned flavor. I calmly let her know and asked for a moment to decide whether I wanted a replacement. Instead of allowing me that time, she made another drink without confirming. The second drink tasted the same. I asked my collegue to taste it as well to make sure it wasn't just me. He confirmed the old ice taste. When I explained that, her demeanor changed abruptly. She began calling me "ignorant," repeatedly, in front of other customers. She then mocked me by imitating my voice in an exaggerated, sarcastic tone and saying, "Oh my God, I don't like this drink," clearly attempting to ridicule me rather than resolve the issue. She ultimately refused to serve me. When we asked to speak to a manager, we were informed that she was the manager. Rather than de-escalating the situation, she continued raising her voice and repeating insults. The escalation felt disproportionate and unsettling. What began as a simple comment about a drink turned into a loud, hostile confrontation. It was genuinely uncomfortable, strange, and concerning to witness that level of volatility from someone in a management position. A minor complaint about a drink should never result in public mockery, name-calling, and refusal of service. This behavior was aggressive, hostile, and entirely unprofessional -- especially from someone responsible for overseeing staff and customer experience. I strongly recommend that ownership evaluate how customer concerns are handled here read more

Coming in here its pretty loud but I did enjoy the music! We first ordered the top mix sampler which had fried pork shoulder, Dominican fried cheese, chicken tenders, and tostones. The fried pork shoulder was so good I decided to get that with my entree. I got the chipotle inspired bowl which was a pretty huge portion! I found it really hard to get to the bottom where the rice/beans were. I like that they had virgin drinks and they were really good too. read more

Food was great but the service was POOR!! Our waitress was horrible. Ordered coffee and it took me reminding her 3 times before I got it. When I did, it was lukewarm and half a cup full she blamed it on the machine. I doubt it was the machine. She took drink orders, but then forgot half of them. While eating, we ordered a meal to go. It took her 20 minutes to come back to the table without the meal just the bill. We asked her where it was and she had the nerve to say oh she didn't put it in for you. Not sure who "she" was because we ordered it with her. Honestly, I wouldn't mind going here again, but if I saw her come towards our table, I would ask for a new waitress. read more

This was a spur of the moment visit because Bully Boy Distillery wasn't yet opened. We waked the 4 minutes to Top Mix for a bite to eat and both my partner and I had the avocado toast with roasted tomatoes from their brunch menu. We were short on time and the staff did a great job accommodating us. The toast was fantastic and hit the spot. It's a cute place, fun vibes and the menu wants me to visit again. read more

Good hole-in-the-wall spot. Take-out service is very busy so they're obviously doing something good. Drinks were good and there is plenty of seating. Street parking can be challenging. I'm definitely going back. read more

The food is just okay but the ambience is nice. We grabbed seats at the bar. The bartenders were very attentive. The shrimp and guacamole bites were good. The burger was like a frozen patty and smelled of gas from the stove. It also had a slight aftertaste. The fries were lackluster. They would have been better if cooked 2 minutes longer and dusted with season salt. I will definitely go back for the vibes but not for the food. read more

One of favorite places to go in Boston. The food and service is amazing. I go every time I am in Boston.

** JP Location** This is a pretty restaurant. But that's it. Service is bad. Food was not good ( great presentation tho). Chicken undercooked Elotes tasted strange. One night in Old San Juan was a thumbs down. 2 stars for the decor. I wanna go into details, but I'm really too tired to write this post. PLUS , I dislike writing negative reviews about restaurants ( especially black and Latino joints) Automatic service charge . Had a problem using my card and they blamed me and my card, when it was clearly their machine. I could go on, but that's all I have the energy for. Won't be back read more

Overall definitely an enjoyable place to grab a drink in J.P. - they have 3 'areas' in the restaurant - a high top bar area, 'restaurant' seating, and a small patio. Extra points for opentable reservations. We ordered a range of different drinks within our party and everyone was really pleased with the taste. It's predominantly sweet/juice based fruity drinks - I will say we didn't necessarily taste the alcohol (may be a pro or con). The menu was super extensive and there are definitely things we would want to try in the future. We got the potato wedges as an app and they were pretty mediocre. The rest of the menu wasn't that inspiring for vegetarians so I'm not sure we'd come back to try food. The ambiance in general was really nice, only qualm is that the music is QUITE loud - we had to speak up to be heard within our group. read more

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our experience here! We live in the area and wanted to try something nearby. We stumbled upon this place on Yelp and were able to walk over. It's a really cute local spot. We made reservations online but they don't seem to use their online reservation system because when we arrived and were expecting a patio seat, they were all full so we had to be seated inside. That was a little annoying but the inside was nice and lively. Really fun atmosphere with the music and decor. As for food I tried the La Piña burger and really enjoyed it. The pineapple was a nice touch. The fries were just okay but I appreciated it came with a good amount. We also ordered drinks which were really delicious!! Overall we had a fun experience here and would definitely come back. read more

Last night me and my girlfriend tried to go here and check it out for the first time. Needless to say it will be the last time because we walked in there was no host at the door we had to wave somebody over it who appeared to be the host and she seated us. Restaurant seemed a little busy and understaffed. My friend and I sat and waited at that table for nearly 20 minutes with no waiter acknowledging us or coming to service or ask us anything. Noticed that other people who walked in after us were being serviced and yet no acknowledgment from no waiter. I then got up and went over to the bar to see if I could get help and person there just kind of brushed me off. After all of that and no acknowledgement me and my friend picked up and left. I would like to note that we are black and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it but it sure did feel like it. Very unprofessional and it was very upsetting to pay for a ride there to not even eat or be acknowledged and that's too bad because the food did look good there and we were excited to try. I do understand that the restaurant business can get hectic but this it's just unacceptable and cannot happen. read more

Had a nice date night with babes. Service was great. Drinks were good. I had a mocktail and babe had a coconut cocktail thing but he enjoyed it. We had steak and cheese egg rolls and buffalo chicken empanadas. I had stud bbq steak bites, mashed potatoes and asparagus and babe had fried shrimp with fries and coleslaw. Everything was delicious! read more

A new place for me to try. Tucked away in a residential area near South Bay shopping center. First entering, I thought was extremely small but there's more seating in the back. We unfortunately were seated for 2 way in the back right under the speakers so my ears were pretty much busted by the end of it. This was cinco de mayo so it was quite busy for sure so I tried to be lenient. We ordered mango and guava margaritas from cinco special, 2 chicken tacos, 2 beef tacos both with pineapple pico added which were $1.50 extra, Buffalo chicken pastelito, beef pastelito, chicken and waffles, and whisky bbq burger. About 15-20 minutes in and we still hadn't gotten our drinks and then our pastelitos came which we were ok about. Then 10 minutes later, we got our tacos, and still no drinks... So the waitress checked on it. We got them another 10 minutes later. Buffalo chicken pastelitos wasn't too bad but the beef one was super dry and not that much flavor. The tacos weren't great and the pineapple pico that we added saved it but all the taste was pico. Our main entrees came and was very disappointed. Ordered the burger medium and it was basically raw. Hard to eat and didn't taste whisky or any significant flavor. The chicken and waffles was the better of the two but the chicken was kinda dry. Waffle was good. Came with 3 condiments - hot honey, syrup, and melted butter. Service the whole time was pretty bad, almost nonexistent except when she came to our table. We had asked for ketchup when our food came and it never came or was asked about either. read more

My spot music, food and atmosphere! So good. Roxbury food tastes better than JP! Cant wait for it to open back up

This place on the weekends is a vibe. It is going to be popping so be prepared to wait for a table. There is limited parking but it is near a few orange line stations and there is frequent bus service. The drinks are good but you may have to wait, like a lot of places they are understaff so do be wild about it. I say read up on the menu, ask you questions and put your food in with your drinks. I can't the food here as I only had drinks. But base on the Roxbury location it is good but can be heavy, like depending on what you order, its comfort food. read more

It was my first time here and my friend recommend it and I do not regret it at all. We started off with garlic parm chicken wings. They looked delicious but only recommendation I have for the cook is to pluck the feathers. So unfortunately we didn't touch that batch but it was fried to perfection. As for my meal I ordered Mofongo with chicken it was mouth watering. They did a great job with the flavor and I washed it down with a mango mojito and that was also very refreshing. read more

Top Mix Bar & Kitchen - Chicken and mofongo - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

When we first walked in we didn't see anyone but was quickly helped. Darlene sat us and took our order. She is an absolute delight, she displayed amazing customer service. She was so friendly. Nadine was our bar tender. Her smile is impeccable, they are delightful and made the visit comforting. There is an option for inside and outside. The menu seems a lil limited but there are plenty of great options. The BBQ steak tips was amazing and so were the wedges. I think if they drizzle ranch and spicy mayo over them add bacon it would be a smash. Wonder if they would consider adding that to the menu and naming it after me. It was a great trip and ill def go again. read more

it was a great time! Julvy was a great server and the drinks was bomb. Taco Tuesday's is an excellent idea.

Bottles of cool refreshing water now top each of the tables in the back room of Top Mix Bar & Kitchen, which was a nice convenience. As always, service was pleasant. Food took some time to prepare. And the golden plantain chips with dipping sauce were satisfying. The fried fish pieces filling the fish tacos $13.99 were a better portion than the last time I had enjoyed the dish myself. However, on this visit I was sharing the Roasted Garlic Lime Pico De Gallo Steak Tacos $13.99 and the Avocado and Bacon Chopped Salad $9.99 (avocado no longer grilled) topped with shrimp $7.99 (for 8). Their grilled shrimp were perfectly cooked as always! The salad refreshing and crisp. However, while the steak in the tacos were perfectly cooked, it was somehow lacking in flavor. While the sauce did something to make up for the flavor lack, the tacos were also lacking in a crisp element. It was an unexpected disappointment. Another DC agreed and could only manage to eat one of the two steak tacos on his plate. 3 star visit at a 4 star location. *** Consensus from previous visits reiterated: Come when you have time for a leisurely meal. Come for fried food. Come for their plantain chips and accompanying dipping sauce. read more

Fish TacosGolden Plantain ChipsI visited the JP location the only downside of this location is parking the menu has been updated since my first visit they now have Nachos and they are delicious the drinks are reasonably priced and they have a mystery shot for$5 dollars. I DEFINITELY think up-front information about grauitity would be nice if your bill is over. Certain price they automatically take the tip out I ended up tipping twice because of this and being a little relaxed with a beverage or two, three.. just be mindful and it would be nice knowing that prior. Lesson learned. Great eats so I would recommend read more

I went to the JP location, The decor and seating arrangements were nice. The drinks are delicious and a good selection of drinks, The habanero mango wings were on point. I love the atmosphere, decor and photo wall. I also had the honey chicken that came with mofongo was delicious but I felt like the plaintains in the mofongo needed to be smashed finer and it needed more liquid to soften it up or at least more garlic butter. That marinade on that honey chicken was yummy. I also tried the shrimp avocado plaintain cups appetizer. That was good. Other than that It is definitely a fun place to be w a date or w friends. The latin music is great and will surely get you feeling the vibes. read more

It was just ok - we got the Top Mix sampler with microwaved tostones, fried cheese cubes, over fried pork strips, and chicken tenders with a side of white rice and mediocre beans & then fries. A lot of the items were super salty like the fries and the chicken. Tostones are supposed to be crunchy and they weren't, why would you ever serve microwaved tostones that are soggy? The audacity lmao. Most of the clientele here is white so I guess they wouldn't know what good Spanish food is anyway.... But to a true Puerto Rican, you will know this is not good food. It is simply ~ok enough to eat. We even ordered dessert that was on the menu but they apparently didn't have available. Fried Oreos with ice cream but no ice cream? The only reason I am giving 3 stars and not 2 is because of our server. He was amazing & I wish I would've gotten his name. Super kind and went above and beyond. When there wasn't ice cream for the fried Oreos, he took it upon himself to get strawberries all the way in the basement for me. I would honestly, give this place another try just because of him & the fact that they are open late night. Lastly, of course plating and presentation also bump this up to 3 stars. However, the food alone? You can find way better and fresher Spanish food elsewhere. read more

TLDR: good Caribbean styled food and drinks Came here on a Wednesday night. They seemed to be a little understaffed. When you first enter it's a little confusing. There's a bar and 3 small cocktail tables on the edge. If you go in further past the bar to the right there's a dining area. Took us a couple minutes to be seated but food was great. The steak tips were excellent as were the rice and beans. My wife got the fish and chips which was good but not as great. I got the coco taso drink which was excellent. If I had more time I would've tried more of their drinks. read more

This appetizer plate was the best decision I made tonight. This appetizer of plantains and blocks of Dominican fried cheese was so tasty I couldn't save enough room to finish my entrée. The Peach Dream was fruity and sweet. The Kiwi, Do You Love Me was also sweet with that unique kiwi flavor. The Caribbean Flight offered a variety of sugar rimmed Caipirinha drinks. They have a large dining area and a couple of well placed TVs with the Red Sox game on, but it doesn't give sports-bar vibe. The music makes you want to dance in your seat as you savor your food. Well spiced, and a beautiful proper medium on the steak tips. Close to the Sam Adams brewery tour. Some parking available behind the building. Our waiter, Jesus, was friendly, efficient, and had a lovely smile. JP location. read more
