    If you like small plates and tapas you will Love Mita's. The service was excellent with a very helpful and knowledgable server. The menu has a wide variery of choices fit for any palate or diet. With a party of 4 we tried several items all of which we very tasty and the ingredients were fresh. Both ceviche dishes were on point with a slight flair to the ingredients. Watermelon with salsa matcha was a tasy variation. Bread service, cheese plate, sliders, wings, all very good! Go to this restaurant you will not be disappointed!

    Fantastic meal. Have to start with talking about the sliders. They were out-of-this-world delicious. Patatas bravas were authentic to Spanish cuisine and perfectly crisped with a wonderful garlic aioli to accompany them. Fried plantains with guacamole were great as were the piquillo rellenos. Cocktails were also incredible, especially the one featuring cachaca. Service from Anne was highly attentive, warm, and friendly. Looking forward to returning. Great experience!

    Great food last night at Mita’s. Great combo of dishes recommended by Grace, our waiter. She was attentive throughout the night and made sure that we finished in time to head out to Music Hall to see Tosca.

    It amazes me how Executive Chef, Tim McLane, and his team can combine such fresh flavors to make dining at Mita's a unique adventure every time we visit! Our server, Grace, helped us along the delicious journey including spot on wine selections. Every bite and sip was perfect!

    We were a group of four. Our server, Heather was delighful, knowledgeable and not pushy in any way. She was a joy. We shared Chorizo Picante which was indeed very tasty and plentiful small slices but nothing came with it!! No bread or cracker to enjoy. Alas de Pollo were crispy and juicy chicken wings with soy,garlic and chili de arbol sauce. Loved them. Pulpo Spanish octopus with fingeling potaoes, potato foam and and pimenton was so and so. It tasted good but not enough potato and pulpo, way too much foam. It was hard to find any pulpo. Causa de Cangrejo was fantastic! IWe could have eaten more of this. Chilled blue crab salad, aji amarillo smashed potatoes, egg mimosa, house made crackers. Everythig tip-top. Chuletas de Puerto Iberico was another hit. We loved these two pork chops so tender, so pink in strawberry-rhubarb mojo and charred spring onions. You could not make them better! We had a bottle of wonderful Spanish red wine Raul Perez Ultreia "St. Jaques".
