    I have been wanting to go here for a while and was it worth the wait! We came to celebrate two friends bdays and they really made it special for us. They greeted us with a delicious Chicken and Rice soup with green lentils that had so much flavor it was a real treat! 3 of the 4 of us had cocktails and they were as tasty as they were beautiful! We shared some small plates including 2 Peruvian Rolls (like Sushi but with a Peruvian flair) and they were both delicious! Rory was our server and we all agreed 10 out of 10 stars for service. If you are contemplating a visit to Mistura, I highly recommend you go!

    Fabulous dining experience at Mistura! An individual in our group is a vegan; however, there was only one option on the menu. What started out with some dismay, turned out to be fantastic! Together with our server and Chef Nikola, they presented the most incredible selection of veggies and rice that was spectacular. Chef also presented our vegan relative with an appetizer of watermelon and type of radish that was yummy! The rest of us had a scallop appetizer and champignon raviolis that was awesome! Thank you so much to Nikola and the staff for being so accommodating and thoughtful. We highly recommend this restaurant!

    I had a profound dining experience at Mistura on December 3rd for my 40th birthday. The ceviche, sashimi, Peach Propeller bourbon-based cocktail, and the desserts were each divine — and our server, Hannah, was so lovely to us!My beloved and I tried to rush back the very next day before leaving town, but Mistura is closed on Mondays. We hope to make it back very soon for that Lomo! 5 Stars! A+!

    We have been to Mistura many times and have always enjoyed our meal. We love the De Mi Tierra salad and the Colorao appetizers and have trouble deciding between the two. My husband likes to try something different every time we dine there and he ordered the Parihuela and absolutely loved it. He didn't even bring any home!! I have had a couple of dishes but my favorite has always been the Escabeche. It is a sea bass dish and the flavors are awesome. That said, last night, the fish was cooked perfectly but the beans and carrots were a bit overcooked. And, my favorite part of the dish is the onions and there weren't as many as usual so that was disappointing. If it wasn't for that, I would have given it 5 stars for the food. But, we will be back as we really do like the food.

    Biggest problem was making a reservation and then getting clearly bumped from the original table to a clearly less desirable location in the restaurant with regular kitchen and server noises. Restaurant wasn’t very good about explaining this. When I raised the issue much later, towards the end of the meal, they threw us a couple of free chocolates because I think they realized they hadn’t handled it properly at all. Good restaurant but this does give me a bit of pause for future visits, so I’ll probably go elsewhere next time.

    I have been to Mistura four times now. Every time, we have had a great experience. Our waiter Tristan was super attentive, knowledgeable, and funny. We really appreciated his services. We had two bussers who were also very attentive, and the food was absolutely amazing! The flavors and presentation are off the charts. We brought a couple who were visiting and they were very impressed. Proud to call this restaurant part of our SLO community! I highly recommend it!

    Fabulous food and vibe. Second visit. Delicious seafood and Peruvian rolls. Excellent servers. The tables set for two people are placed VERY close together which can be a problem. It's a loud restaurant so not a quiet, romantic place. We will definitely eat here again because the food is delicious.

    I made reservations for dinner and requested to make this as special as possible for our wedding dinner. The entire experience was amazing from start to finish. Our waiter Gerry was nothing short of amazing. We met the owner as well. She was so warm and welcoming. She congratulated us and chatted for a bit to ensure we were having the best experience possible. We felt so comfortable. The food was top notch and the desserts are to die for! I have no complaints whatsoever. We will definitely be return customers! Thank you so much for making our special day even more special and a great way to end the evening.

    We enjoyed the Pisco sour drinks, ceviche appetizers and paella with seafood. The presentation was wonderful and the restaurant was quiet enough for our group to have conversations. We shared four desserts that were beautiful and delicious. I would recommend this restaurant and go back again myself.
