What People Are Saying About Mixto Inc

In Short – Look for Mixto's big picture windows, papaya-colored walls and an airy upstairs bar. Still, the efficient, Spanish-speaking service is reminiscent of Mixto's North Philly home-style progeny. The dinner entrees--plain grilled whole pargo fish, simple chicken breast in tangy red salsa, even a giant platter of squid-ink paella--come with plenty of beans, rice and plantains or cassave. The fried skirt steak with sliced avocado, fried egg and all the trimmings is a sure palate-pleaser.

Was alright, a bit pricey.
by Iraein
I went to Mixto tonight with a friend and we were pretty excited because we've heard good things about this restaurant and we wanted to go somewhere new for us.
I was a bit disappointed that the food was a bit pricey (seriously, $4.5 for TWO empanadas is ridiculous). But the entrées were delicious. I highly recommend the chicken with cheddar sauce dish. It was amazing! And I love that you get a small bit of rice and black bean soup on the side. I was completely stuffed after the chicken though!
The poor thing about this restaurant was the service. We were ignored by our waiter multiple times and he NEVER checked up on us to see how we were doing (despite the fact he was only a few feet away). It was not a busy night either. We actually decided to tip the guy who constantly refilled our glasses with water. He was very polite and friendly. Even though he was not our waiter, we felt he sure deserved it more than ours did. He was rude and distant and just talked to the bartender all night even though we were only a few feet away. Simple things such as soda refills and common courtesy really isn't to be taken for granted.
- Pros: Delicious food
- Cons: Crappy service

Great sangria and mixed drinks. All levels of staff are poorly trained and very rude.
