"Chef Jose Salazar’s first restaurant bears his name, but his second might be his most personal. Named for his Colombian grandmother, Mita’s serves a tapas menu featuring the food and beverages of Spain and Latin America, ranging from traditional to modern. Dishes include ceviches, cured hams, cheeses, paella, and pozole. While Salazar himself is a five-time James Beard Award semifinalist for best chef, Mita’s was a finalist for outstanding restaurant in the 2023 awards." - Andy Brownfield
