    We have been to Mistura a lot. It is one of our favorite restaurants in SLO. The food is very good. My favorite entree is the Escabeche. A wonderful Sea Bass dish. Beautifully prepared. I also love the cauliflower appetizer. The desserts are amazing. You can't go wrong here.

    Came here for the first time for my boyfriends birthday and it did not disappoint!! We arrived early for our reservation so sat at the bar while we waited and our bartender was fabulous (didn’t catch his name) then sat outside on the little patio and had the greatest dining experience😍 Food and cocktails were excellent, service was even better!! Can’t wait to come back on our next trip to SLO :)

    The experience at Mistura never disappoints, what a gem. From the minute you are seated, to walking out the front door, you are treated like royalty. We had an amazing dinner, with a delicious appetizer and desert. Every bite is filled with such unique flavors. Our waiter Rory, new our names, and checked on our every need. We felt like family and will definitely return.

    This was our first visit to Mistura on a recommendation from a friend. It was a fabulous lunch experience from start to finish. The service was friendly and efficient, but the food was the highlight! We shared the Bolitos & Palitos to start, which we receive gratis as members of the Birthday Club. I chose the Chaufa with Shrimp, my daughter had the Senor Lomo (Saltado) and my husband chose a Tamalito de Pollo and Trigo soup. My daughter has had Lomo Saltado before and declared this to be her all time favorite. Our plates were all cleaned, indicating our complete satisfaction with the meal. We will definitely return and look forward to trying more of their tempting looking dishes!

    For my birthday I took my girlfriend and mom to Mistura (they treated of course :-)). Neither had experience with Peruvian/Asian infused food. Mom was somewhat apprehensive. Our reservation was for 5:30 so the dinner crowd was sparse. We started with the chicken empanada and cauliflower tempura appetizers. We enjoyed the first but felt there was too much BBQ sauce on the tempura. For our entree we split the Norteno (fall off the bone meat short rib) and the Señor Lomo (filet mignon strips, perfectly cooked). For dessert we split a Que Churro and something we called a huge Ferrero Rocher. Check their menu for all the details. Our waiter and the staff took excellent care of us. Making us feel welcome and unrushed. This was a fun experience for all of us and we will return.

    I joined the birthday club and it was my birthday. I forgot to bring my phone with the email coupon for free Chaufa. Even though the staff knew it was my birthday and had read my email, no coupon, no free Chaufa. That added $28 to the bill. Really folks? For fried rice? My husband had marvelous sea bass with terrific vegetable sides. A winner. I got the Paiche (arapaima for biologists). Nice taste, but 3 tiny slices of fish on 3 slices of sweet plantain. No veggies--the menu over promises the amount of things that come with the fish. I shared my husband's veggies and filled up on the not-free fried rice. It is a novelty fish, but would not order again. Should be an appetizer not an entree. We had the gyoza appetizer- very tasty but very dry to eat. Wait staff were TERRIFIC, great service! Loved the music--lots of soft samba, great for conversation and atmosphere. Glass of Carmenere was a top notch wine! Pisco sours were very very good, but not as strong as my Chilean Godmother used to make! We got 3 cookies and a blazing sparkler for my birthday dessert--did I tell you the wait staff and ambience made this a lovely evening? We WILL GO BACK for the sea bass and hospitality!

    I love Mistura's menu; there are so many options! We had the Fresco roll for an appetizer which was delicious. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli for my entree and it was heavenly. My friend had the Braised Short Ribs, which were top notch! They also can make a mocktail from anything on the menu, which is a bonus for non-drinkers. The service was fast and friendly and we really enjoyed our experience.

    Debating between whether yum or outstanding are the first words to come to mind. Excellent service, relaxing atmosphere, and the food was sublime. Honestly dining here was one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend!! In addition to margaritas, we enjoyed: 1. Parmesan scallops (Parmesana) 2. Hot stone ceviche(El Misti) 3. Burrata, kale, quinoa salad (La Pituca) 4. Senor Lomo (Lomo Saltado) 5. Papaya crème brûlée

    Mistura is an excellent Peruvian restaurant in San Luis Obispo. The food is exceptional and the service is great! Perfect ambiance with a full bar and specialty Peruvian drinks as well. If you want a true experience with authentic Peruvian food from every region of the country: Andes, coast and jungle, then Mistura is the place to go. A premier restaurant in San Luis Obispo! You won't be disappointed.

    I am sorry to say, but we had a terrible experience. We had a reservation and being there on time. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were reminded that this table is good for 2 hrs which was fine, but after we seated no one checked in with us for over 20 mins… during 20 mins many waiters and waitresses walked by our table, but no water, nothing. I hope it was not due to strange reason like I am an Asian? (My husband is white though) I was very disappointed by it because we were looking forward to this dinner and it was a special dinner for us. As we left, we told them we were leaving because no one checked in with us over 20 mins, they just said “OK”. I was shocked. We have not had such bad service before and very disappointed.

Now lets get to the important stuff, the food! Wow wow wow superb!!! We had ceviche which was full of flavor, a roll and sashimi, so fresh!!!!! Service was impeccable, attentive and friendly.
