Mixiote

One of the best Mexican meals I’ve had in SF—100% better than Chipotle, with all fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the noodle bowl and quinoa bowl. They’re only open from 11 AM to 2 PM, and I just wish they were open longer and on more days. A true hidden gem!

Truly a gem in the financial district. They are always warm and friendly. The food is always fresh and healthy. I tried the quesadilla and loved it! They’re especially flexible to Vegetarians.

A very nice place for a healthy lunch that’s full of flavor! There was almost no queue when I went. I ordered some veggie noodles with chicken and loved it!

Lovely food and so accommodating for vegans. They switched out pesto with cheese for avocado, black beans and spicy habanero and gave me a discount for the avocado by not charging me for it. Chips free. And such kind service staff. Love!

Delicious bowls, agua frescas, and cookies! The bowls have many flavors which pair together perfectly with the slow cooked mixiotes (meats). The rajas con queso is also all vegan and super creamy and delicious! The owner and chef Alma truly puts care into the dishes. Highly recommend and I will be back for more 😋

Absolutely delicious! I had a vegetarian option, and it felt fresh, super packed with all kinds of veggies, and veggie noodles as a base was absolutely heartwarming. Will return!

Fantastic bowl that was filling and bursting with flavor. Wonderfully friendly staff as well. Makes for the perfect quick lunch

This place is amazing. The food is packed full of flavor and made with LOVE. Their tortilla chips are so dang delicious with a salsa that has the perfect heat to enjoy and not be overwhelmed. The chicken is tender and melts in your mouth. You are supporting a La Cocina Kitchen when you shop here and making our community more yummy.

This is the perfect spot for lunch! The Mixiote bowls are absolutely incredible, and I can't get enough of their beet quinoa salad--pair it with any of the chicken, pork, or rajas con queso for a winning combination. This isn't your typical Mexican restaurant. The flavors are spot on, and their healthier options will leave you satisfied without that post-lunch slump.

Ordered rice bowl with chicken and avocado. $13.50 base + $2.00 for avocado. Pretty good.

I'm occasionally in downtown SF for work, so I'm on the lookout for good lunch spots. A coworker suggested Mixiote, which I was down to try. I ordered the chicken and rice bowl - the service was fast, the bowl looked great, the amount of chicken was generous, and the price was awesome. The free chips and salsa was a great bonus. This would be 5 stars if there was an option for chicken breast + an option for spicier. I'll probably be back - and I'll order with avocado next time!

got a bowl with half chicken / pork, half quinoa / veggie noodles. simple menu, small pristine store, serving health fresh ingredients. I appreciated being able to mix and match.

This place is nothing like chipotle, I love everything that comes in the bowl! The staff are super friendly and you can ask for a sample! Highly recommend this place!

Office days and rain don't always mix. Sometimes you need a quick lunch option while trying to stay dry, and that's how I ended up trying Mixiote. The menu is pretty straight forward, bowls, salads, nachos with your choice of meat and toppings. As a lover of all things rice, of course I went the the bowl. I went with the chicken which is made with thigh meat and cooked in a sauce so it wasn't dry which is always a plus. I dunno if this was healthy or healthy adjacent but judging from all the veggies and bright colors, I'm just gonna tell myself it is. Either way, it was a big enough portion for a normal appetite. The bowl price starts at $13.50 and with guac and other additional premium toppings it came out to just over $17 before tip. The chips they gave with the order were fresh, crunchy and really tasty. They had an orange salsa that was habanero, good amount of spice but not too crazy. If you can't handle spice, this one will prolly be too hot. Solid option for a quick and tasty meal near salesforce tower area

A very tasty and delicious authentic Mexican spot to grab some grub. They have some healthier options on the menu for those that are trying to keep health conscious while eating outside. Definitely try the pork burrito and ask them to make it spicy! It was super tasty. The portion size is also quite large. The staff was super friendly and willing to accommodate our requests. Will be back again!!

Lovely food, healthy and tasty - and so accommodating for vegans. They switched out pesto with cheese for avocado, black beans and spicy habanero and gave me a discount for the avocado by not charging me for it. Chips free. And such kind service staff. Special shoutout to Arturo at the counter for remembering my vegan needs as a repeat customer. Thank you!

I love this place! The portion is huge for a great price. Better than chipotle. I have come for lunch many times during work. It's hidden near the salesforce building. I love the chips on the side and the salsas!

A new food counter, well hidden in the back corner of the Salesforce lobby. So hard to stumble on randomly and even a little hard to find if you are actually looking for it. A bit Chitpole-esqe in that you choose your protein and choose your carbs. But much tasiter than Chiptole! Pork & Chicken Rice Bowl: I actually asked for a half-n-half mix of pork and chicken so I could try them both. I really liked the smoky red pepper sauce on the chicken. The green pepper sauce on the pork seemed a little more subtle and also the amount of sauce seemed less too. But both meats came in a good portion. The only surprising thing is that neither meat seemed particularly slowed cooked. The meat on their website looks more stewed. But still very tasty. Especially with all those nice veggies on top of that turmeric rice.

I had the chicken quinoa bowl and it was excellent. It's a ton of chicken, dare I say perhaps 60g of protein or more? Great sauce and goes very well with the complementary ingredients. I'll plan on coming back pretty often!

A solid lunch option, hidden away by a staircase in the Salesforce East building. They're only open for lunch Tuesday through Thursday, so make sure to check the hours (and the calendar!) before you go. My go to is the rice bowl with chicken, which doesn't look like that much food, but is actually very filling -- a side effect, perhaps, of the deep containers they use. I've also enjoyed the quinoa and salad bowls. They give a free bag of tortilla chips with your order, and offer both mild and spicy (habanero carrot!) salsas. I'm not kidding when I say these chips are the best takeout chips I've ever had. They experiment with other options sometimes as well, with a rice pudding, a soup, and a salad. Just be aware that because they're experimental, you should check what they're actually serving that day -- I recently received a beet & greens salad when I was expecting the fantastic kale salad from just a week earlier. Bummer!

Veggie noodles with pork - absolutely amazing! Took about 5mins to prepare and they had free cookies and coffee (both of which were wonderful). Servers were very kind and it's a cute little place to grab and go. Much quicker and more fresh than the food trucks across the street. Pork is very tender and liberally sauced with a a little kick to it. Noodles are very fresh and have a wonderful dressing on them. I'll definitely be coming here again to try their other items!

Healthy food friendly service good service real food clean service good price I love pork mixiote

Mixiote is located in the back of the lobby at Salesforce East or 350 Mission. The restaurant is family owned and Alma, the owner, and her two sons are so friendly and warm. They offer a simple menu of bowls and a few sides. I like both the chicken and pork bowls over the yellow rice. The chicken is a bit more spicy. They also give a free small bag of chips. The chips are delicious! The bowl looks small but it's actually a very hearty meal when you include the chips. I highly recommend Mixiote. Check it out and help this small business.

Stumbled across this place while I was walking home one afternoon - so happy I found it. The food was really good and the portions were just right. However, the best part was the friendliness of the staff. They made me feel welcomed and appreciated! Thanks for the yummy food, I'll definitely come back again! :)

I got the pork on carrot/zucchini salad. The slow cooked pork was tremendous, tender with great flavor. The chips were also very good and both salsas were tasty. Very generous portions and everyone was extremely nice and friendly. Will definitely be back and recommending to my coworkers just down the street.

A hidden gem in the building opposite Salesforce tower. Their bowls are delicious and consistent. I had their quinoa bowl with Chicken Mixiote and found the preparation and combination tasty. Do get their daily Agua Fresca, got their refreshing hibiscus tea on my visit. Quick preparation and healthy!!

Can't beat this place for its take on Mexican inspired food bowls! The flavors are insanely tasty from one type to the next. Fresh ingredients, marinated meats and vegetarian options make for a super delicious "on the go lunch" for downtown SF! You won't be disappointed.

Kind of easy to miss Mixiote the way it's tucked into the lobby which is a shame because It's SO good! I've tried and really like all their different bowl "bases," the meat is super tender, and veggie toppings are all great. Their salsas are really good too. Really friendly staff as well, and the owner started this place within La Cocina--awesome to see her dream turned reality. I love supporting La Cocina and the talent they promote.
