"Mystica, which opened last year as Mitica, has closed. The restaurant featured a menu of carefully plated dishes, but ultimately could not match the popularity of Mariscos El Submarino. Guzman mentioned that they were losing money but appreciated the attempt to try something different." - Luke Fortney
"The sit-down restaurant from the owners of Mariscos El Submarino has closed." - Luke Fortney
"This one is especially good when consumed in Mitica’s backyard with fresh air in your nostrils: a strip of crunchy trout skin, snaky in its texture, surmounted by fish, smoked fennel, and potatoes, with dabs of aioli here and there. What a great combination!" - Robert Sietsema
"Mitica appeared this year as the surprising offshoot of the Jackson Heights hit El Submarino. The Greenpoint newcomer is a more ambitious establishment, billed as a Mexican steakhouse (though there’s only one steak on the short menu). Still, that steak is a doozy, a giant tomahawk served with grilled turnips and green chiles, and a galaxy of green herbs. Other meaty choices include a pork shank braised in dried red chiles." - Robert Sietsema
"Greenpoint couples who fall somewhere between “getting serious” and “not Chez Ma Tante again” should consider the tomahawk steak for two at Mitica. The people behind one of our favorite casual mariscos spots ditched their cartoon lobster decor at this more grown-up Mexican restaurant in favor of mood lighting and a pretty back patio. Duck risotto and adobo mashed potatoes sit comfortably on the menu alongside numbing aguachile negro and cheesy tlacoyo. And that tomahawk steak is a good shareable option with a date or two friends." - Neha Talreja, Bryan Kim
