Mixto Restaurante

"With colorful interiors and a staff that shakes tambourines and maracas when it’s your birthday, Mixto offers a show before the show. Ultimately, it's a pre-theater spot that’s never boring, and you’ll need that excitement before likely falling asleep one hour into a three-hour production. It’s a Latin spot, so think ceviches, guacamole, slow-roasted pernil, and pitchers of sangrias and margaritas. And it’s all pretty good. It’s never packed, so if you’re planning on chugging a margarita (or three) prior to listening to a marathon of symphonies written by some old guys, you’ll be able to walk in easily." - candis mclean

"Sometimes you start planning your day around your next sip of sopa de camarones, or catch yourself thinking about biting into a slab of seasoned yuca at a red light. Mixto, a Washington Square Pan-Latin and Caribbean spot, has us daydreaming about both of these dishes, as well as a maduro relleno stuffed with spiced Cuban-style beef and then coated with a layer of gooey mozzarella. This is also a great place to grab a drink and watch a game since they have a big bar with a TV. " - candis mclean
