While locating a Gf option restaurant that ended up having a private function, led us to this gem! Mixto had sidewalk tables and their inside is open to the sidewalk as well. An elevated bar area and upstairs eating areas to fill out the location. There are drinks galore, craft beers, full bar and we opted for the pitcher of strawberry mojito. It was delicious on this hot afternoon. Our meal was exquisite and filling. We ended up bringing food back to our hotel and eating leftovers the next evening. If you are in Philadelphia, find Mixto, and the have two locations so enjoy. read more

I visited for my first time during restaurant week, and I was delighted that this restaurant kicked off my Fall culinary adventures. Mixto restaurant features a nice blend of delicacies from Latin America & the Caribbean. I started off my dining experience with a frozen Guava and Passionfruit margarita that had a rim coated with Tajín. Our server was warm, and completely accommodating. After reviewing the main menu I decided to try some of their regular items - the seafood mofongo. It was topped with calamari, mussels, shrimp and other delightful treats. My date allowed me to order my appetizer from the restaurant week menu and I got the ceviche on tostada. I loved the way the octopus was sliced and the medley of flavors from the base to the top! He enjoyed the tilapia special, and cleared his plate with enjoyment and ease. As someone who had traveled to a lot of the places that the menu draws inspiration from, it was a great hybrid of different, but complimentary cuisines. I was excited to see the lomo saltado Next to the ropa vieja; along with a variety of paella options. The entrees were also vegan/vegetarian friendly with additional choices for sides: yuca; plantains; and more. If you can make it out for Restaurant Week, you are in for a great entry-point to cuisine that celebrates multiple cultures, but trust me, Mixto needs no introduction. This place has delicious read more

Excellent customer service from Jason! Mixto is very lucky to have you. Thanks so much for taking care of business. read more

Pretty decent happy hour (would not recommend the guac tho! Its the smallest portion by far) and nice atmosphere. The server is great, he is always attentive and checking up on us. We go whenever we are in the area and looking for a drink and bite to eat. read more

Mixto is a popping place with great brunch reviews but I also absolutely loved coming for dinner. The place is busy so it is helpful to make a reservation even on Wed work night. There are so many different appetizers to choose from but we decided on the ceviche. It was so fresh and you can definitely taste chunks of the fish and whole shrimps. It is a sampler style with 3 kinds and they tasted so different. I loved the one with a hint of mustard and another more citrus flavored. I would highly recommend. I was so excited for the paella and it did mot disappoint not to mention the portion size!! The steak and shrimp was delicious as well. The paella rice was seasoned perfectly and the toppings inside was overwhelming. There were sausage, chicken, mussels, clams and more. This is absolutely a must try place. They had a variety of tequila drinks if you love a good margarita!! Highly recommend I cannot wait to be back. read more

Came to Mixto for brunch on a Saturday. I ordered the Colombian breakfast with a side of yuca. My friend ordered a wrap. The food was authentic. I really enjoyed my dish, but my friend thought her wrap was pretty plain. The atmosphere was lovely and the restaurant is spacious. Our server was very attentive! read more

The Good - Food tasted ok and came out quickly. - Service was nice. The Bad - This was the second time my girlfriend and I had gone here, and the second time they sat us in the same exact place: wedged between the hostess and kitchen, at a weird table walled off from the rest of the restaurant. There was a whole upstairs area available both times with great ambience, light, and energy, but it seemed they wanted to keep guests close to the kitchen to save themselves effort. - The dishes weren't really cohesive- each plate had a few different elements, but they never really felt connected. The flavors were also kind of bland honestly, with hot sauce required for pretty much all menu items. - The food came out oddly fast, and it wasn't very warm. This has me thinking they prepare all of the food ahead of time, which is fine, but for the prices you'd really expect things to be made to order. We will not be returning. Too many brunch spots to try in Philly! read more

Mixto honestly never disappoints. This is our third time back and the food is indulgent every time. It simply never misses. They have the best mojitos and margaritas in my opinion. Good price for the amount you get, and I can actually taste the alcohol in it. This visit, I was blown away by the Borrego. The risotto was unlike any I've ever tried. Just wow. That's all I can say. It's so good that if I was on death row and that was my last meal, I'd die happy lol! read more

I love their foods a lot. Everything was very good. My friend was pregnant so she couldn't eat raw meat so we ordered Medium well steak. I expected it to be chewy but it was surprisingly very good. Guava Mojito was also very good. The only thing that annoyed me was the service. I'm not trying to be cheap or anything but they got the sign said for credit card they will charge 3% fee but when we pay by cash they didn't take of that fee off so we had to ask for it and it's kinda embarrassing. Also our server didn't give the correct amount of charge back. We supposed to get $31.70 but she gave us back $30. I know it was so little for $1.70 and I don't mind at all if she let us know but I don't think it right to do this kind of sneaky thing to maybe get more tip? without letting the customer know. Overall, excellent food bad service. read more

This place is *chef's kiss* no lie. I came here for restaurant week and had the best brunch for takeout! I started off with the freshest guacamole and plantain chips that were made with the perfect crispiness. I also got to try some of the king crab empanadas, which were also juicy and flavorful. I ordered the Argentinian breakfast, which had steak, two eggs, potatoes, and a side salad. Everything was cooked to how I liked it. The only thing was the potatoes were extra salty and the steak was on the bland side. But I guessed it worked out when you combine them for each bite. Mixto also have a whole bag of bread. I don't know what it was, but it was delicious. My favorite was the dessert. If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with tres leches. So, I got a slice and ate it all even though I was already busting out the seams. The cake was not overly sweet, which was good because they would put the tres leches liquid mixture in a separate cup to pour over on your own. Definitely loved the experience for only $20!! read more

Mixto Restaurant - Argentinean Breakfast - Latin American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Nice casual spot with elevated latin food. Came for restaurant week and did the set menu. Appetizer - octopus salad: Super fresh and lots of octopus. Came with plantain fritters that balanced out the acidity of the salad. Main - lamb chops: Cooked perfectly, crust was nice although it was a tad dry. Mixed vegetables and sweet potato fries on the side were ok. Dessert - flan: Really good! Texture was more cheesecake like than a traditional flan but great flavor and candied nuts on top were a great contrast. Service was great and overall a great experience. read more

Ok for dates meh for groups. Ambiance and location. Love the ambience here, you feel like you are somewhere else, relaxed. The foods: Nice authentic plates, generous portions on the meat and sides. Nothing crazy, they stick to tradition. Dranks: Weak and pricy on multiple visits, but they look good. Service: Friendly but not very flexible. No real thinking, I see this a lot, all different restaurants. They kinda let the computer/tablet do everything but whats the point. Why hire a human if all they do is walk to a window and enter values. You can do this self serve and not have to pony up the extra 20%. Charming yet annoying: There was a young couple taking photos of the tables then developing the pictures and selling them to the tables. They were not part of the establishment and pushed the pictures on you like well... you were in another country. This could work out nicely if they didn't run the sale while the food was being served. What chaos; we bought a picture, but our food was cold. The lack of flexibility on many fronts: Well if you're in a group of say 10 or more for a bday and want some extra space; forget it. No extra tables for you! Yep, no issue slapping you with the mandatory 18 gratuity on a party and you better be skinny because elbow room you not get. We wanted another table (the little ones that fit 2 people) for the cake and such. Nope, we only add places for the people here they say. Less flexibility on splitting checks. Yep 2023 where all major vendors are cashless, this place takes credit but from one person only. So that person better have space on that card because the whole party's on that one card. Guess they really take tradition all the way. I really like this place, in fact they have picked up the game in food portions but mann did they drop it in an area that doesn't cost any money. read more

Very disappointedin Mixto since the pandemic began. This is our 3rd super poor experience in a row and we will never come back. Today's experience: - reservation for 9p (arrived on time) - ordered app and entree by 9:15p (because we know the menu so well, it's fairly simple) - received app by 9:30p - Manager showed up at 10p to tell us that they messed up and server didn't put the entree in, and now kitchen is closed. As you could imagine, the shock on our face but life/things happen, although frustrating, i've made plenty of errors in life that has my organization or me look bad. The bigger issue that we have is how a) that was communicated (zero accountability and empathy), b) mitigation (his recommendation was that he could make us a salad and that he would DISCOUNT the app that we had ordered and give us 30$ off the next visit (which we declined). Paid our tab, added a tip although it was his error and left (at the door, he offered us 30$ off our next visit). We were such in shock by this failure of this establishment (yet again) and as you can imagine, after 10p on a weekday, the options are limited. Thank you MiXTO for ruining our date night (baby sitter cost + go home to make dinner). It was a great run together from 2016+... read more

To start with the bright side, there was a tequila brand, Santa Familia, partnered with the restaurant and they were giving out samples to diners. I am not a trquila person, but that stuff was fantastic. Unfortunately, thats the only good thing about my experience with Mixto. The meal was expensive, but the price was unjustified with the quality of food. We got the appetizer combo platter, in which just about everything was deep fried. While not a problem on its own, it just wasn't a balanced dish. Most pieces were dry and everything was super fatty with no acidic element which was very missed. For the main, we tried their mixed meat platter and while some pieces, like the steak and sausage were cooked well, the pork and chicken were terribly dry. Once again everything was super fatty, and while there was a chimmichuri, it was more oil than herb or acid. Also every single thing we ate was heavily under salted. read more

My bartender was nice and the drinks were good. The micro-aggression caught us off guard though.

Such a cool spot! I came with a few friends over the weekend and loved it although I didn't try much. Our server was really nice, too! I tried the chicken noodle soup, fries, and empanadas - all of which were delicious. I'd love to come back again next time I'm in Philly to try some of their drinks and more dishes because I was a little too hungover during my first visit. Recommend! read more

We had a pleasant experience at Mixto during a recent Philadelphia restaurant week. The food portions were plentiful and tasty, the service was pleasant and efficient, the menu prices are very reasonable and the ambiance was inviting. We also received 10% off with a Yelp check-in. The restaurant week menu offered 3-courses (appetizer/salad, entree, and dessert). The courses were standard size portions and not some scaled down restaurant week offerings. It seemed like a lot of food, which it was and that's why we only went with one set of options from the restaurant week menu. We ordered the Ensalada Islena de Aguacate y Mango, Salmon a la Parrilla, and the Quattro Leche from the Restaurant week menu and a second entree the Arroz con Camarones. Everything was delicious and we both had leftovers to take home. read more

Better than expected. Arrived late and in chunks but staff was incredibly nice and friendly. Food was amazing. We shared bites and nothing was just ok, it was all so so good. Paella was especially delicious. Mofongo was so flavorful, ordered 2. Chicchacharones we're crisp but not chewy. Was able to introduced some friends unfamiliar to Latin cooking to these delicious nuggets. Ordered way to much food but we were so excited to have leftovers to snack on later that night. Unfortunately we got caught in the rain abs the paper bag ripped and our food hit the ground- a very depressing moment. Want to go back now. read more

Let's begin, ambiance: just right.. lighting, seating and noise level not too low, loud, more vibrant and fun. Service: Justice is one of the most warm, friendly, attentive people that will ever serve you... Simply the best. I will say that everyone at this establishment is one of a kind.. and very knowledgeable about the dishes and drinks. Last but not least the food: 10/10 it was so good I forget to take pictures just on point.. portions are right, seasoning right, presentation perfect. Please, please try Mixto, it's one of the best Latin restaurants in the city. read more

My friend and I went to have dinner there. We ordered one of the steak specials and asked about the small paella dish. The waitress informed us that that was the vegetarian dish but they offer one with seafood. What arrived was a giant upgraded dish with a lobster on top. Every single piece of seafood was dry. And the steak was mostly fat. When we asked to talk to the manager, we we're extremely complementary about all the other things in the restaurant and that while we ate the food because we were hungry I needed to get home, that the quality of the food was really not very good and we were surprised. While I didn't expect them to comp anything, there was zero customer service effort made for us to return. We were charged the full price of the meal, no offerings or attempts in making sure we left with some positive reinforcement. Bad hospitality. read more

service was fine--they were receptive to our needs but a bit distracted. forgot a few things. guac way too small and kind of mid, everything else (paella, room vieja) quite good and large servings!! The televisions at the bar playing a Will Ferrell movie gave the place the feeling and ambience of the sports bar, not a medium-fancy restaurant. read more

Absolutely delicious. We reserved online, came in and were seated promptly. The business asked us for vax cards. No problem! Being from Boston, we're used to this ask! Definitely made us feel safer dining in. Patrons and staff were masked as well, when not eating (patrons). We ordered margaritas to start, the basic and they were very impressive. Clearly made from scratch not a mix. Our appetizers were the beef stuffed plantains and empanadas. Honestly after those apps, we opted to share an entree because those apps were very filling. We ordered the steak and garlic shrimp dish with potatoes and other veggies. Steak was perfection. We ended with the strawberry tres leche cake, which was a restaurant week special. Oh my goodness!! Tastebuds were so pleased. Loved our first meal here and when back in Philly, will be popping in again. read more

I hadn't been here in a long time and it's just as delicious as I remembered. The service was outstanding. We sat outside in the sidewalk. It was a gorgeous night to be sitting outside. I used to always come here for brunch but the dinner was delicious. We did a few for the appetizer options. The calamari was yum. So was the Mixto all. Definitely recommend. read more

My wife and I had lunch here the other day. We had a good time until we got the bill --- more on that later. We both enjoyed our lunches (she had chicken crepes and me a media noche (aka a "Cuban" sandwich). Complimentary fried bread was excellent. Service was fine. Our pitcher of margaritas must has been on the weak side, as we both noted not "feeling anything" after diving into those margaritas on empty stomaches and having just walked 5+ miles though 90°+ heat. The bill had two unpleasant surprises (neither of which were disclosed on the menu as far as I can recall): 1. A 18% built-in tip for a party of 2 in a near-empty restraurant. I'm a generous tipper, so this actually *saved* me money, but building in a tip like this really gets my goat. 2. Another 3% credit card fee. This is full-service, sit-down restaurant, not a food truck or diner. So, I left the restaurant franked pissed off. Mixto is part Restaurant Week later in September. Before I got that bill, I was all in. Now, I am not so sure. read more

Loved everything about this place. Took the train up from Baltimore just to visit. We arrived way before the reservation but luckily they were able to seat us. I didn't catch the servers name but she was great. We sat in the upper level. The stained glass ceiling was super cute. The food was amazing. We ordered beef and chicken empanadas. Delicious. I ordered the La Loca and let me tell you. It was LA LOCA! For the entree I had arroz con camerones and my SO had the arroz con pollo. Both were delicious. The shrimp were gigantic. I wasn't really a fan of the Mixto trio dessert. The options were just mediocre. Since we're already planning our next visit, I'll def try the tres leches next time. The food smelled soooo good on the train ride home. Great leftovers. My only dislike is that they automatically add a 3% credit charge to the bill without knowing if you're paying with cash or card. Why not ask first? And when the server saw that I paid with cash, no effort was made to remove the CC fee. read more

I went for brunch this past weekend. The margarita and appetizers were great. The meal went south when we ordered the pork shoulder and was served a pork chop instead. We mentioned this to the man who delivered the food. After being approached 5 times to discuss the meat mix up. A woman came over and rudely stabbed the pork chop with a fork and took it off the table. I have never seen meat confiscated in that manner at a restaurant my entire life. They made me feel as if I was wrong and my intention was a free meal. We just wanted the correct order. Is this the correct way to handle this situation? read more

We had high expectation. my husband and I went there for an early dinner. I will admit the food was really good and we agreed that we would be back. We were the only patrons eating there, the service was at best ok. Too much time waiting for her to see if we wanted dessert and waiting for the check. To our surprise they charge extra to use a credit card and automatically added 18 % gratuity to our bill. Note there was only 2 of us! We will not go back. Plus she missed out as we normally tip over 20%! Great beginning, awful ending! read more

I've ordered delivery from this place more than I can count so I finally dined in. My friends and I went for restaurant week. Their prefixed menu was extensive for restaurant week and fit the table's food preferences. The king crab empanada was our favorite thing we ate that day and so well spiced with ample crab meat in each pocket. The sauce pairing was perfect for them. I also tried the Tostones (cheesy goodness. Bettet when hot. the plantain was crispy). For an entree I had the steak with potatoes and corn which was perfectly cooked and huge portions but lightly seasoned. Could have used a little salt and pepper. I would skip on the tres leche. It was not traditional and tasted like Nesquik strawberry milk. I don't have a picture of the mouse (made with avocados) but a hard pass. You can taste unripe avocado read more

Tried to come here on 9/18 for restaurant week dinner, but they hadn't started the restaurant week menu yet, so we ordered from the regular menu instead. The service was amazing - super attentive and friendly, and brought us out two clean full plates so we could split the two items we ordered. Food: 1. Octopus Salad - I liked it but it was definitely more octopus than salad! (Which isn't really a bad thing ahah but just for expectation setting) 2. Scallops - STAR OF THE SHOW - such a big portion that we couldn't finish 1/3 of the risotto, but everything on the plate was delicious read more

This restaurant has a lot of tasty options and it was so tough to choose. Not because of my palette though, because the calories are printed next to the items. I wasn't ready for that lol.
