Wouldn’t you
love to be transported to a steamy and sensual Latin American country? Maybe
taste the forbidden flavors of Cuba? Enjoy the playful palates of the feisty
Caribbean? Feel free to leave your
passport at home and take a little walk down Pine Street. You’ll stumble upon a beautiful, two-story
brick building with glowing neon letters reading: MIXTO. Welcome to your destination dinner.
Mixto is a
fusion restaurant of all things Latin American, Cuban, and Caribbean. With a large menu ranging from the familiar
to the exotic, there is a bite for every fish in the sea. Executive Chef, Freddy Mosquera, has
beautifully created a menu of traditional Cuban paella, delicate Peruvian
ceviche, and gorgeous Mediterranean fish dishes. Hosting a wide selection of luxuriously
selected meal cuts that are prepared with tender dedication, Mixto is perfect
for the meat-lover. Classically grilled
and boldly marinated, Mosquera has certainly taken care in devising a menu for
even the most inexperienced Latin American eater!
Boasting a
large international wine list, Mixto is certainly a crowd-pleaser for the local
Philadelphia wine-o. They share a long
list of sparkling cavas and brilliantly selected wines, perfect to partner any
dish. But don’t let the wine list fool
you – Mixto also is home to an array of Latin American beers as well. In a town where even the rivers seem to flow
with malted brews, the beer connoisseurs will love trying the bold taste of
Peruvian Cusquena and the iconic Dominican Presidente. Stop in at happy hour and enjoy the
refreshing mojitos and smart margaritas (grab some empanadas to share while you
sip).
Sit outside and
enjoy their luxurious island style ambiance or take your party inside for a
dazzling scene of colors, music, and fragrant dishes moving past. The mood is cool but lively. Be it the plates passing by or the paintings
lining the walls, the vibrant colors of Mitxo will hypnotize you into believing
you are on far away from the roar of Philadelphia. With lots of dark wood and greenery, you’re instantly
transported to an island vacation. Bold
and sensual Latin music begins to pulse through you as you finish snappy drinks
and elegant meals. You’ll want to stroll
along a sultry beach with Astrud Gilberto after your dining experience. Feel fully bewitched as you meander into the
misty Latin night.
