The Mixto Cuisine - Tres leches - Italian Near Me - Highland Park, Illinois

Mixto has great food, and the burgers are excellent. I am so very sad that they moved from Libertyville. It was one of my most favorite places. The servers in Libertyville were also excellent. I hope they have moved with the store read more

I want to add my 5 star review to the other glowing reviews of Mixto. They just moved to this location and will hopefully get more outdoor seating this spring. In addition to having more seating, I feel like they need more visibility! The food here is really terrific. Great balance of flavors, creative dishes, and everything prepared perfectly. My family of 4 got 4 different dishes and passed them around for tasting and it was difficult to pick a favorite. I really hope they do well in this location and stay for a good long time! read more

Excellent mango habanero chicken and a side of tortilla soup! Very accommodating with some kids items as well. Consistently perfect

Stumbled on the Mixto and we'll definitely be back! Lovely, clean, friendly family-owned new place with really delicious food. The mango habanero chicken sandwich is memorable. Very sweet brother/sister owners. read more

Great food and personalized service! Food is incredible. Def a spot to come for delicious, healthy meals.

Gloomy and pouring buckets outside, but inside Mixto it was bright and cheery with pretty tile-topped tables and friendly staff. We came in during brunch, so the menu reflected both breakfast and lunch items. Some of us ordered a Greek omelet, a smash burger with sweet potato fries, and a grilled chicken sandwich. I ordered a Cobb salad with grilled salmon-- the greens were fresh, the bacon bits were extra crispy, and the salmon was cooked perfectly with a whole sliced egg. This was a generous, colorful, filling entree sized salad. My friend had a cup of tasty tortilla soup and also enjoyed the chicken tostadas topped with lots of fresh avocado and accompanied by a green side salad. This was a cozy family restaurant that takes pride in showcasing quality ingredients and providing tasty food with good value. They were friendly and accommodating. I hope to return to try the dinner entrees. read more

Mixto cuisine was amazing! I got the cubano and side of chicken tortilla soup and it was phenomenal. The chicken tortilla soup was the best ive ever had! Perfect spice level and came with freshly fried tortilla strips which were perfect to top the soup with. Great service and the restaurant itself is great! I highly recommend. read more

The Mixto has the locals raving, and I can see why. It's a beautiful space with great service and great food. I started my meal with a cup of beef and barley soup (their soup of the day). I only like beef and barley when it's done particularly well and this was a great one! I could do without the mushrooms but it was good enough for me to ignore them. We were given the brunch menu, which contains breakfast and lunch items, however, breakfast wasn't actually still being served. It was about 3:30 but they don't start prepping for dinner until around that time so be aware that if you want access to the full dinner menu you should arrive no earlier than 4pm. So from the lunch menu I decided to go with the mango habanero crispy chicken sandwich. I was asked if I wanted the sauce to be more mild or more spicy, which is always smart to ask/offer, but I like it hot so bring on the spice! It was a solid sandwich, well breaded and not dry at all. The sauce didn't burn much at first, but the heat built up as I ate. It was never too much for me but it did clear up my sinuses. The sandwich came with my choice of side so I opted for sweet potato fries. These were just ok, I'd probably try a different side next time. I asked about dessert and the coconut yogurt cake caught my attention. Think of a cheesecake but made with yogurt instead. This was a perfect finish! Smooth and creamy, light and tasty, all topped with some fresh strawberries. I think the menu rotates here seasonally, but I'd say it's a must try if they've got it available. Our server was friendly and patient, and even brought me the dinner menu and said she'd ask the cooks if they were ready to prepare anything I was interested in. The price point to quality ratio is a value in my perspective. I would have expected the bill to be about 20 dollars more than what I paid, so you can get a real quality meal without hurting your wallet. I'll definitely be back! read more

I have many food sensitivities and they were gracious and accommodating. They didn't serve bland food like usually get. Shrimp tacos bursting with flavor. My husband said his pasta is a ten. The staff is fantastic. Attentive but not hovering. We will be back. read more

The food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. We were visiting from out of state and looked for local restaurants based on reviews. We were not disappointed. There were 3 of us and we each tried something different. All of us were very pleased with the food, flavor and portions. It is not a fancy pace but it was very clean, the service was great and we were quite comfortable. Definitely recommend them. read more

Varied menu with salads, sandwiches and other entrees. Everything I've had there has been delicious. I especially like their soups. The owners are very nice and friendly. read more

We saw this moving into the new location and decided to try it out last night. We had a couple of smash burgers and they were excellent. Even though there's no kids menu, my 7yo daughter had cheese quesadillas and she liked them. We live just down the street so we might try the breakfast menu sometime. read more

Family owned. The staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and gracious. Decor is your standard strip mall simple, but the food is surprisingly outstanding and attractively served. Wife had the mango habanero chicken sandwich with house made potato chips and a side salad. By the time I looked up from my delicious blackened tilapia with chipotle glaze the chips were pretty much gone and I was assured that they were also delicious. My tilapia was preceded by a cup of just right chicken tortilla soup. Check out the menu. They really do Mexican, Italian and traditional American. Highly recommended for a casual dinner out with friends where careful attention is paid to food quality preparation and presentation. This whole thing clocked in at under $50. read more

We visited Mixto Cuisine for the first time today and loved it. The dining area is small but comfortable. The staff was friendly and attentive, and our salads were nicely composed with very fresh and tasty ingredients. We will definitely be going back to try other menu items. read more

I had shrimp tacos and they were so good. The ingredients were fresh. I am looking forward to my next visit.

We had dinner last night at Mixto at the new location in Highland Park and it was wonderful! The steak tacos, shrimp tacos, pork tacos and smash burger were all fresh and so delicious! And the tres leches and key lime pie were also amazing! Everyone who works there was so friendly and welcoming, truly lovely people! Lastly, a great, convenient location, across from the Ft Sheridan train station! Highly recommended, we'll be back! read more

So happy to have heard about Mixto Cuisine. Great food and really nice people running it. The tortilla soup and smash burger were both great as was the burrito. The people made the experience very special, both the wait staff and chef. We are beyond thrilled to have this gem in our city and can't wait to return. read more

Amazing food with the mango habenero chicken sandwich and berry salad tasting delicious. Servers are kind and helpful and elevate the experience nicely. And the ambiance is bright and cheery. read more

The service is personable, expecting in this cozy spot. The atmosphere is cool to grab a quick lunch with friends or needing to get out the house and grab a bite. The food was good. I plan to try other items to get a feel of what is offered. I love to support family owned businesses. read more

Great family owned restaurant! The carbonara is to die for and their chicken tortilla soup is so good. My boys love their breakfast. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I can't believe it has taken me two years to try this restaurant! The first time I went at lunch with my sister and I had the Buffalo chicken sandwhich with hash browns and it was one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Hash browns were fresh cut in house and amazing. It was so good I brought my husband and daughter back for breakfast on Saturday and it was just as good if not better. We had an omelet and breakfast burrito. The service was amazing. Our waitress was so kind and attentive and even brought our daughter a special "dessert" on the house - a chocolate chip pancake! We are now regulars and so happy to have found this local gem. The prices are also very reasonable and the decor is super fun and colorful. Go check it out! read more

I am still learning the full palate of the menu offered. I can tell you the house burger and the salad menu are fantastic. Excellent burger. Nice that is comes with the option of sweet potato fries at the same price. The salads are fresh. Made with choice ingredients throughout the salad. It's not just lettuce with some things on top. Lovely homemade dressing. Oh yea, and the breakfast burrito is one of my favorites I ever had. Excellent homemade salsa/hot sauce served along with it. Portion enough to satisfy a hungry belly. Or enough to split between 2 meals. Super friendly people working every time I have been in. Highly recommend this somewhat hidden gem! read more

Great food, incredibly friendly staff, and short wait times. I recommend the spicy mango chicken sandwich, and the berry salad. Lovely joint, good vibes, very happy read more

The food was generous and delicious. The service was very good.. if we lived close we would be repeat customers. Great menu with lots of choices! read more

We stopped here for brunch today and it was delicious. They make the absolutely best potatoes, no matter what kind, hash browns, mashed, fries, etc... and I'm a very picky person when it comes to potatoes. The sausage, omelette, and egg sandwich all so tasty. Highly recommend stopping here for brunch or lunch. read more

Traveling from out of town and saw the great reviews. Service is absolutely amazing! It is also kid friendly which was really nice. Food was very good. Mango Habanero chicken sandwich was great as were the baby back ribs. Be sure to ask for some of their house made sauces. read more

Great food and an incredible value. I had the breakfast burrito which is THE best breakfast burrito I've had outside this tiny hole in the wall in Malibu, CA. The crew was also incredibly welcoming to our 2 year old - bringing her chocolate chip pancakes on the house. We will definitely be back! read more

We had another enjoyable meal yesterday at Mixto Cuisine. We started off with their excellent Tortilla soup - they also offered homemade chili. My husband enjoyed their delicious Cubano sandwich and I had the excellent grilled fish tacos served with black beans mixed with corn kernels and tasty rice. Their green salsa added even more flavor. In addition to great food items in a beautiful inviting restaurant, the caring service from this family owned business warms the heart too. Go and Enjoy. read more

Great family owned restaurant! The staff is super friendly and very accommodating. Delicious food. We had the pepper steak which was very tasty and tender and the chicken sandwich which was also very good with excellent homemade coleslaw. The desserts were also homemade and very good as well. We'll definitely be back. read more

This seems to be newer place, so I gave it a try. I ordered delivery, and the food came hot/ready to eat. The Shrimp Carbonara was creamy and seasoned well, but the bacon pieces did make it a tad salty. Tortilla Soup was creamy and smooth, tasted good, but it lacked any ingredients except chicken and the tortilla strip chips. Decent menu though, worth trying other items! read more

Been here a few times now. Always good service and excellent food in this cute little place. They have different menus for different parts of the day, but I think my favorite item is the red chicken torta. Not to be missed! Can't wait to go back and have it again! read more

i visited mixto for the first time for lunch with three friends on friday the 13th. the restaurant itself is a bit of a challenge to find, even with waze, and that is a shame... because the food and service are fantastic. i ordered the portobello salad and sweet potato fries for the table to share. our server brought two condiments with it: ranch dressing and ketchup. the fries were YUM!!! my salad was excellent with huge pieces of portobello mushrooms, expertly grilled and still warm. the greens were crisp and GREEN! the balsamic dressing was great. i usually am fine and stop at the entrée but today i asked for dessert. thank goodness i did. friends had apple strudel and i won with my choice of coconut cheesecake. it was fantastic! i did share... i did not check out the bathroom but the interior is bright, clean and welcoming. our server was the best and also was gracious to give us separate checks. the restaurant is family owned and the chef is terrific! i will go back to try their dinner menu and highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This place isn't much to look at, but both my husband and I thought the food was excellent! Husband had a hamburger and said it was one of the best he had ever had. I had the chicken sandwich with mangoes and spicy sauce and it was terrific! Our sandwiches were nothing compared to the tres loches (?) dessert, which was to die for. We will definitely make a return to this place and recommend you visit next time you're in Libertyville! read more

Butternut squash soup was amazing! Popped in to wait for traffic to die down. Wasn't that hungry but the soup hit the spot. Would have gotten the veggie wrap, otherwise. Waitresses were very friendly! Cute little place with plenty of seating. read more

They've been open 18 months, and other restaurants have not succeeded in this location, but after having visited there for the first time we hope they do last. The service was very good. Both servers were very attentive and the cook even waved to us when we left. They brought us free homemade chips and salsa, and both were very good. I ordered the spicy seafood linguine. I like spicy food, and I appreciate that they offered to make it extra spicy, which they did. It was really good and I even took almost half for home--and I have a big appetite! My 21-year-old got the house burger with cheese. It was good and perfectly done. It was exactly what you would expect of a high-end restaurant burger. The bun was very good, and he's picky on that. He got the mac and cheese as a side, which was good, and he loves to put that on his burger. My daughter-in-law got the penne rosa with shrimp. She said the anchovies really helped complete the meal. The shrimp was perfectly charred. She liked it. My wife got the tilapia filet with a side salad. The salad was very freshly put together. The tilapia and rice was fine--nothing exceptional, but no complaints. It was a really good meal. Not cheap, but not inappropriate. Our only concern is that the atmosphere, while we had no real problem with it, is not really clearly defined. read more

The food was delish. I had a wrap and my friend a smash burger. The fries came out hot which is always a plus. Service was great. The atmosphere and ambiance were good. Not too crowded when we were there. read more

Everything we've had here is always good. The pepper streak is amazing. I've had the salmon a few times. Always perfect. My husband had the pork Vesuvio special today. He said it was really good not at all dry like pork can get. The service is always friendly and fast. I'm not sure why this place isn't always packed. Cmon Libertyville.... We cannot let this gem close! read more
