Mixto Comida Latina

I came here after a evening hike and I want sure what I wanted to eat so I looked up the closes and cheap place to go to and saw this place. Thinking that this was going to be a typical Mexican stand I was slightly wrong. This cute little Mexican/​white stand serves an alternative healthy version on your favorite Mexican meals. With clean meats and fresh vegetables and while grain tortillas.

Mixto Burrito is my favorite item here. They have very good desserts. Parking is limited. Prices are very reasonable for the portion size. Take out is what we’ve done mostly. The horchata is the best I’ve had so far. The only thing that needs improvement is the salsa selection.

Happy with my carne asada bowl. Maybe too healthy for me, but I guess that’s THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Ugh. Too many black beans though… I did like the chicken bowl better, it had more flavor and I loved their house hot sauce. Plantains were also solid although the side of crema didn’t really do much so I added it to my bowl.

Mixto has been around for a while now and it’s an organic healthy take (grass fed/​free range) on mexican street food you know the classics…
Tacos
Burritos
Tortas
Quesadillas
And then there’s
Bowls
Salads
They also offer up fresh juices aside from the usual horchata, jamaica, and tamarindo.
They have an almond milk horchata which is delicious btw, basil watermelon, cucumber mint, and others.
Back to the food, I’ve tried the bowls, burritos, and kale salad.
Carne asada is good. Carnitas = yum.
Chile relleno burrito is all kinds of comfort
Bowls get the job done and for me are the most filling. The only thing I don’t like is the fact that there is too much bean juice in the bowl and everything gets very soggy, almost soupy.
They have four different kinds of salsas to choose from… Mild avocado crema, green tomatillo, red, and habanero green.
Last but not least, guacamole and chips are a must!!! Super fresh and lemony :)
Prices are higher than the traditional Mexican food truck or stand, but you get what u pay for.

What the actual frick. I only got the kale salad so I could pretend to be sticking to my new year’s resolution, but I actually don’t want to eat anything except for that beautiful heavenly Caesar kale salad. That avocado! The garlic! The cheese! Brings me to tears. It definitely stole the show from the Mixto eggs burrito, which is also simply amazing with or without the added meat. I was also quite satisfied with my Watermelon Basil juice. But back to the only thing that matters: THE KALE.

Tried this place out after reading some rave reviews and it definitely lives up to the hype. Easy menu, nice customer service, and most importantly: the food was DELICIOUS. I had a veggie bowl and this thing was SO flavorful! It came with rice, beans, lettuce, scrambled eggs, and a ton of other stuff that made it just damn delicious. I was sincerely impressed. You order and pick up at the window and they have a nice outdoor seating area. Really looking forward to coming back and trying a burrito, which looked incredible.

Healthful, quick, modern, hipster updated Mexican. The drinks are divine! I can’t resist but order two for myself to compliment one meal.
Almond horchata and watermelon basil agua fresca are my favorite selections.
The sizes are small, so it’s easy to happily slurp the flavorful concoctions, and before you know it your left making that loud slurp, slurp noise staring at the bottom of an empty drink container wistfully wishing you had more.

So tasty & flavourful! Love the openness of the eating area.
Called because I thought they got a delivery order wrong & Jesse was SUPER SWEET regardless of me being a bit irritated & corrected me! Thank you for your patience

Food is not bad. Sometimes the service is not the best. Like the cashier tonight.
However, the other workers were friendly.
The plantains w cream were tasty. My friends pork taco was good. The hot green sauce was spicy, still burning my mouth. My carne bowl fit in my Keto diet. Tasty as hell. Good chips and red sauce. Eaten their food 5+ times and probably would a few more!

I’ve only ever eaten the kale caesar here, and it’s delicious, and I’m sure their tacos are delicious but I only come here for the salad. And I love a taco, don’t get me wrong, but my friends and I agree that Mixto has one of the best salads in LA. Get the dressing on the side if you don’t want it too lemony.
The space is awkward — order at the counter then go left to the pickup window. It’s weird.

Whyyyyyyy Mixto — whyyy do you gyp me on chicken and avocado on my caesar salad to go??? Slash why do you call it a caesar salad — its a kale salad with lemon dressing. So confusing, and yet I keep coming back.

I like what Mixto is trying to do, its ambitious and means well, but does not execute well. –The tortillas on my tacos were ice cold, all but one of the 4 salsas were in-​edible, Habanero salsa)(
Wacala!- Soyrizo was absolute excrement, or in this case Mexcrement. I think on a good day, this place would be better. I think whomever said this was «Chipotle for Hipsters» nailed it.
I think if they open a second location, they need to really look at the design to produce a better guest experience, because eating in a chilled wind tunnel does not make for warm food. Plus the order experience is poorly thought out. This place has unrealized potential.

Though this is gentrified-​gabacho-​Latin-​fusion-​foodfare, this pocha really likes this place! I mean, I’m here like every week! This used to be Burrito King (RIP) and though I was sad to see that place go, I love Mixto’s burritos and tacos made with organic humane meats like chicken, pork and beef. Plus, with all the lovely fixins, customers can select a salsa to be added to their meal. Very fresh! Dee-​lishhhhh!!! Plus, it’s organic!
Besides their tacos and burritos, they also have bowls, which is not something we Latinos are accustomed to. But, we like it anyway. ;) Still great flavors with cilantro, onions, salsa, queso y todo! That’s right, vatos locos!
Another special item that can be found here are their fried plantains, also known as maduros in the Cuban world, cooked to perfection, along with a dollop of crema mexicana! So delicate and delicious! I could seriously eat these all the time! (Why does it seem like I’m yelling while writing this review?)
In addition to the things mentioned above, they have specials like almond horchata. If you haven’t tried it yet, you must! It’s delicately sweet with a lovely texture. It’s delightful, really.
Plus, they sometimes have great desserts like their key lime pie. Once again, delicately sweet.
In addition to their great food, these folks are doing their part in being eco-​friendly, like having different portals for recycling and composting. And if you know me, this brings a smile to this earth-​loving gal!
And, the people that work here are awesome! They are so refreshingly nice. So chill and willing to engage in conversation. :)
The prices for the food here is decently priced, especially for what you get! (Burrito King prices?)
The only problem about Mixto is the location. Why? It’s located in one of the busiest sections of Silver Lake – right across from the insane Trader Joe’s parking lot and near the intersection of Hyperion and Rowena. (If you have driven around this area, you know exactly what I’m talking about!!!). Plus, they have a somewhat smallish parking lot, though I never encountered issues with finding a spot. But, other than this, Mixto is great!
Oh! I forgot to mention that they have a handicapped parking space where a person with a disability can order their meal without ever having to leaving their vehicle! (It’s like one of those ordering things found at a drive-​thru).
I love this place!

I’ve been meaning to write a review on this place, but wanted to have a few different experiences before writing. We live right up the street, so have been here three times since moving to Los Feliz. This place is basically a Chipotle for hipsters. The employees always seem short, and too busy with conversations going on in the back to be of any real help. Have the nerve to ask for extra salsa and prepare to get mad dogged at the window.
Quality of the food… very good, although portions for the price are rather small. Not a «taco stand» experience by any means, although the quality of the carne is excellent. Fish tacos are pretty good too, but a bit pricy for what you get.
A rather pretentious place for a neighborhood taco stand… I might make a few stops here a year for a quick, local bite, but won’t be frequenting this place. Good food, but the service lacks for the premium price being paid.

Delivery ftw! Relatively straightforward menu but I only had the chips & habanero salsa. From these two items alone, I feel confident trying other menu items at Mixto.
The chips were really fresh — nice and crispy but not overly greasy. Also, just the right amount of salt. Since my boyfriend makes tortilla chips at home, I have a pretty high standard now but Mixto passes with flying colors!
The salsa, on the other hand, is NO laughing matter. I can handle heat and this baby had all my sinuses arunnin’! SO good. It was kind of like their tomatillo salsa + little flecks of Habanero pepper. FUEGO!

No organic or non-​gmo corn tortillas! I choose to be gluten free and organic, so when i asked about the corn, they told me the truth which i respect. However, when i asked what was organic and gluten free on the menu, some smartass under his breath said, «A side of cilantro?» Haha, very funny, but i made a drive out just to eat healthy mexican food; not cool to make fun of your customers who come here to eat healthy. Isn’t that what your place is about anyways?
For the food, i had the carnitas bowl. I admit, it was delicious, but the portion size was small for $ 8. I was hoping this place would be worth the drive, but i’d have to say no mas.

This is the place to get hipster tacos. The food here is organic, and the flavor definitely shows. The prices are a little higher than most other taco places, but the quality is well-​worth the price.
Parking is at the back of the building, or you can find parking along Hyperion. They have one restroom, which is well stocked and clean.
They have all sorts of Mexican food here, of which I picked the carne asada tacos and the chicken tacos. I also ordered a water, which came is a box. The wait was not too long, less than 5 minutes to get my food. The food was delicious, and their habanero sauce is pretty spicy. I think the boxed water was intriguing, especially the slogan on it, «boxed water is better.»
Patrons here are mostly hipsters who are local to silverlake. Some are great people, other are a bit snotty. But I will not judge this place on that.
Their great food and quality service will have me coming back.

I love the open air seating they offer. Some of the employees are fun to talk to.
The Carne Asada bowl is delicious and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. It has mixed greens, caramelized onions, avocado, a little cream, and it works very well together.
I feel shorted with the meat when ordering a quesadilla, sometimes it’s only been 3 or 4 strips of small beef. Other times it has been average. The Chicken Torta is also unsatisfying as they are only putting 4 or 5 microscopic pieces of their «pickled onion» on the bread which is not satisfying in its own.
Stick with the bowls and you’ll be fine. If Mixto was priced lower I’d be here a lot more, as I am often still hungry after the meal.

Another attempt at the burrito. This time the pork. I got the mild salsa but it still got dry around the half way mark. You can ask for extra salsa but they will remind you only one per order. Why so stingy? They give away water in the seating area which is a scarce resource why horde the salsa? #MakesNoSense.
The chicken bowl suffered from the same lack of salsa. When I picked up the guy said it was already added. Last time I had to ask for salsa and was given it in a container, so who knows what’s going on here. Is it in the bowl or is it not?!
Still trying to love this place.

Chipotle who?
This place has been my ‘go to’ place for «healthy» Mexican food.
I used to always just get the chicken bowl, chicken burrito or the kale chicken salad… until I took a chance and tried the carne asada burrito. The quality of the beef is top notch!
Don’t forget a side of corn and to try any of their fesca’s — all equally good!!!
