Miti Miti Restaurant

Pork belly tacos were delicious.

I had heard such good things about the food at Miti Miti, and I won’t mention how often I’ve stopped by their table outside when they have free samples of the jalapeño lemonade. When I needed to find a place for Sunday brunch for 8 people, I knew it was the place to go. They take reservations, which took the hassle out of finding a spot in the ruthless world of Park Slope Sunday Brunch.
If, like myself, you find yourself missing the breakfast tacos from Taco Santo, look. no. further. Their breakfast tacos are great (and they have a nice variety of meat and veggie options), and the side of potatoes is well-​cooked and the perfect portion. My friends ordered other dishes such as the Crossfit Scramble and the Nutella French Toast, and each item got two thumbs up. We didn’t get any breakfast cocktails, but the coffee and tea made to order were perfect anyway. It took a little long to get said coffee and tea (we ended up getting our drinks at the same time as the meal), but the wait was worth it.
Our reservation was for 11AM, which is right when they open on Sundays. By the time we were leaving it was getting a little full, so while you might not need a reservation if you’re going as early as we did, I recommend one for anything after 12:30PM or 1:00PM if you have a decent sized party. And get the breakfast tacos, all of you.

Used to love this place when it first opened — happy hours drinks were great and food was awesome. Too good to be true. The owner obviously decided it’s not economical to keep the same menu and HH drinks special, not only did he took away all the good HH drink options (which is understable), he changed the menu drastically such that all the good (and more expensive) items like Salmon Tartare and tuna cerviche were omitted.
The idea of this place supposed to be innovative tapas. Now, it’s all just fajitas and tacos. If I want good Mexican food, I will go to Fonda. They should really stick w/​their original concept. This place is now off my go-​to list.

Came here with my family last night for my husband’s 54^th. It was a failure! Good customer service but we found the food below average. The chicken and steak fajitas had no flavor whatsoever. Rice and beans bland as well. Margaritas — we’ve had better. The sister restaurant Latin bistro across the street is a little better. Not returning to Miti Miti.

Fabulous happy hour. Great service. Food rocks! Drinks are authentic made from fresh ingredients. Tom the Manager very informative and helpful.

I can see this as a great place for a GNO, maybe have some drinks and eat some tapas while catching up with a friend. It’s colorful inside and well-​decorated inside. It also has one of the prettier bathrooms that I’ve used.
Between the two of us, we shared the lamb empanadas ($ 7 during happy hour), shrimp and chorizo Mac and cheese, house salad, and tres leches to finish off the meal. We also got sangria, of course!
Both sangrias are great, but I prefer the green sangria to the white one. It’s definitely unique — who else has green sangria? It’s green because of the midori, so it is definitely on the sweeter side.
As for the food? I loved the lamb empanadas — it definitely tastes like lamb, and I like the creamy sauce that comes with it. The shrimp and chorizo Mac was good as well. There’s more shrimp than chorizo, but the flavors do balance out anyway. We could’ve done without the salad. Shame on us for pretending to be healthy. It was way overdressed, and I don’t know that I liked what it was dressed with to begin with. To round everything off, we had a huge slice of tres leches. It was right on the birder of being too moist, almost soggy even.
The waitress was attentive and genuinely friendly. She messed up on our check, but she did bring us shot glasses of their Frozen sangrias! I would definitely come back for more

Stopped by for brunch, and it was very good. I had the fish tacos (grilled mahi) and the crispy brussel sprouts which were very filling and tasty. My wife loved the red sangria. Great for groups

Went here two weeks ago. We had the charcoaled octopus & corn on the cob which had the most yummy seasoning on it. For dinner we had the shrimp tacos and pork belly. They both were very delish but the shrimp tacos were my favorite. We had sangria to drink and it hit the spot. Loved the family atmosphere. The staff was very professional and friendly.

Very cute spot. Nice décor and atmosphere. I’m here for taco Tuesday’s.
$ 5 tacos so I will have to make my way thru them all!
I had the special taco of the day– Crawfish tempura taco. The bartender recommended it.
It was tasty but not blown away by it at all.
Disappointed they don’t have their own spicy sauce. It’s a Mexican restaurant — I don’t want a lame store bought brand — cholula.
I had the classic margarita. Not that good. Tried the spicy hibiscus margarita — Much better.

I came here Friday evening to meet up with some dear friends, and aside from having a great night… I also enjoyed the food at Miti Miti. Because we were group of 5 everyone we had a chance to try a handful of different dishes. I stand for the corn on the cob, the fish tacos, and lamb empanada.
The mojito I had was also very go, and I’m picky about how my mojitos are made so I was very happy that it came out so well. I see myself coming back here again, I am now a fan.

Where do I start with this wonderful decorative restaurant!?! I was here two Sundays ago for their «bottomless» brunch with 4 friends and I have to say, I was highly impressed! I made a reservation that same Friday so it was a welcomed surprise to know that they weren’t booked up like most bottomless brunch establishments are on weekends. I guess being that Miti Miti is still farely new, the hype and buzz about this place hasn’t gotten out completely. Well lucky for me because I will be coming here quite often for more bottomless brunches!
Let’s start with the «Bottomless», one word delicious and different. You get a wide variety of different flavored mimosas (lavender, mango, lychee, and pomegranate) lavender was my absolute favorite! You can also choose from 3 different types of Sangria (red, white, or green) & the green comes with a lychee in it! Loved it! We never worried about our glasses being empty long because our server Kara was on top of it all and on point. She suggested the lavender mimosa and said it was her favorite and I know why! She was very attentive and friendly which we all loved!
The food was very tasty and delicious as well! Their chips and guac was really good and flavorful! I had avocado toast which I also enjoyed very much. My main brunch dish was Fried chicken wings and waffles. I have to say that the waffles were cooked nicely and were fluffy and delicious. The chicken wings were flavored nicely but they were a little on the thin frail side, not very meaty. I would’ve preferred meatier wings. My friend had the breakfast tacos which were very good as well (I had a bite of course)
After we ate our awesome meals we headed over to the bar and ordered a few drinks! I had a coconut mojito and a tamarind mojito! Both were so good!
Overall it’s a great place to come with friends or on a date to talk, laugh, and enjoy some high quality drinks and some tasty food. I definitely recommend it! I’ll actually be back again for brunch this Saturday! =D

The hospitality, cocktails, décor deserves 5 stars.
The food makes it go down to a 3 definitely needs more work first time here me and a fellow friend decided to share appetizers which we did lobster quesadillas was more cheese than anything I didn’t even see or taste a lobster felt like I was eating a grilled cheese, lamb empanaditas were ok! A tad dry if it wasn’t for the dipping sauce, which was a bit strange couldn’t quite figure what it was. Salmon tartare I was really excited to try this dish and it disappointed me guacamole overpowered the taste of the salmon I must say to much guacamole I feel like I was having guacamole and chips last but not least my favorite were the peppers loved the seasoning so good! But hope miti miti works on their dishes. I will definitely be returning for the cocktails and to check out miti miti taco Tuesday night.

This was my second time here. First time came with my bf when it was pretty new and we had tapas. Since then the menu has changed. I suggested this place to my friend for her birthday HH which was on a Tuesday. Miti Miti has a great HH special on Tuesdays. There are several drinks options on the HH until 11pm! In addition it was Taco Tuesday and there were several different taco options. The drinks were really good and so were the tacos. You have to try the green sangria. The décor of the restaurant is very cute, not a big space but large enough to fit groups comfortably. It does have a bar if you only want to hang out at the bar. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating as our group grew as the night progressed. I will be back to try their boozy brunch.

Here’s what I think.
There is a lot of good about this place.
First off. I had a great experience with the service. Hostess, waitress, bus boys and everyone else was super nice and attentive. Not overly attentive either.
Segundo. The food was pretty good. I don’t really understand the menu, seemed all over the place. Tacos and Deviled eggs; Mac and cheese and only 4 entrees or so. The drinks were tasty and they definitely have options.
Worth checking out for sure.

I have mixed feelings.
On one hand food was delicious and absolutely everything we tried was perfect.
On another — service was terrible. Our waiter was so slow — it is not even funny.
It took him 10 minutes to bring me a shot of tequila. 10 minutes!!! We were sitting literally 5 steps from the bar and the restaurant wasn’t full.
My wife ordered one appetizer as an appetizer and another one as a main course. They brought everything together.
But… we had some entertainment (don’t count on it since it doesn’t happen often, I hope). At some point a bartender approached one of the waiters and they started a fight! Other waiters momentarily took them apart and bartender went back to the bar while a waiter was taken to the kitchen.
That was fun!!!
So I’d give this place 3 stars (a disgusting service ruined everything) but considering watching UFC fight — 4 stars. :)

I had a lovely NYE dinner last night with two friends. It’s a cool menu with a great selection of snacks and appetizers to share around the table. No one even bothered to order an entrée. We started with the BBQ chicken nachos, which were delicious and was a surprisingly big portion. After the appetizer I decided to go with the bacon wrapped dates. Between those two, I was pretty full.
I like the drink selection, but once I actually ordered and tasted them, I felt like both drinks (mai tai & moscow Mule) were too syrupy sweet. I also didn’t like that the Strawberry Moscow Mule did not come in the copper mug.
Overall I think it’s a decent place with reasonably priced food. One thing I didn’t like was that they had daily specials advertised on their website, but informed us there were no specials for NYE. Which is fine, but they probably should have said as much on the website.
I would still come back to check out their happy hour specials.

The biggest problem you’ll have at Miti Miti is trying to figure out what NOT to order.
We wanted everything. But the way our checking account is set up…
As soon as we walked in the restaurant, we knew it was going to be a great night. The ambiance is on Level: Sexy! Service on point. The menu options — straight up food porn!
For dinner, we ordered and devoured:
— Honeydripper Baked Goat Cheese — what sorcery of simple delicous-​ness is this?
— Miso Glazed Baked Tofu — #yeslawd
— Shrimp and Chorizo Mac and Cheese (so sad panda I couldn’t have any)
— Chimichurri Streak Frites — meatarians were about it
— Patatas fritas — this was unanimously the one disappointing dish. Potatoes were delish but there wasn’t enough aoili sauce and it was a bit lacking in flavor.
Despite the gluttony, we made room for the Bogota Tres Leche Cake. Worth it, DO IT!
The white sangria is quite an exotic treat. Lavender, passion fruit, ginger and elderflower?! Yes please! The bonus is its potency. It goes from drink to drAnk real quick!
Tip: Call if you can’t find your preferred time slot via the online reservation system. Sometimes the time slot is available — which was the case for us on a very busy Saturday night.

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday earlier this week. My first thought was «hmm, why here? I’ve never mentioned this place» (and I’m always talking about food). Well, after arriving to Miti Miti, I get it. Miti Miti is a sister restaurant to Bogota just across the street but with a more intimate, romantic vibe and fun murals painted on the walls.
We came in on a Monday night and it looked pretty empty. However, as we walked through the restaurant, we noticed another dining area located near the kitchen and this is where we sat. They have great happy hours prices (and time!) here and a lot of their small eats caught my eye. I end up picking about 6 appetizers before I even got to the entrees (and thus no entrees for the night). That was fine with me because I was incredibly full by the end of the dinner. Here’s what we ordered:
Bacon Wrapped Dates: Lots of different flavors; sweet, salty, and cheesy. I don’t know if the combination was that great but it still was tasty.
Jamaican Street Corn: my favorite of the night. The toasted coconut flakes on top was a good touch to give the dish a sweeter touch.
Deviled Eggs: my boyfriend’s favorite of the night. I highly recommended this!
Shrimp & Chorizo Mac and Cheese: great flavors (with a nice sear of burnt cheese on top). The orzo didn’t really do it for me but the flavors were there.
Patatas Bravas: What I would call their version of tater tots. Chunks of potatoes topped with a spicy aioli sauce.
Pork Belly Tacos: 2 tacos served in a soft tortilla. I really enjoyed the lime juice flavor in the pork belly.
While the food was amazing, the service was even better. A random server walked by and saw us looking at one of their sauces. He came over and gave us a short introduction what kind of sauce it is (home made mind you) and what it is generally used for. He even moved 2 tables together for us because he didn’t want us to be too cramped with all our food (Aww!). He continuously made jokes with us throughout our time there and made sure we were having a good time. Would I come back here? Definitely! Good service is hard to find in New York and I really applaud them for that. Also, there are still many dishes I want to try (roasted cauliflower I’m looking at you!) so yes I would be coming back here again soon.

What a great spot for date night. We were seated quickly upon arrival and our waitress was friendly and eager to take our drink order. It was crowded but my table for two had personality and a candle added warmth and drowned out the chatter.
The drinks was grown and sexy, the green sangria, the pink elephant garnished with sprigs of rosemary, and a red wine which I found dry. $ 5.00 on selected drinks including Sangria for happy hour which is 5 p.m. to close. The green and red sangria had me giggling and tipsy.
For appetizers we ordered spicy deviled eggs which were definitely spicy, delicious, and beautifully decorated $ 6.00 for an 3 pieces of egg not 3 eggs. The lamb burger which was cooked at my requests to a medium rare and fried potatoes were awesome, the menu selection is eccentric… lobster quesadillas.
The bar area is sexy, the neon pink lighting is inviting, and they were playing Chaka Khan on the mp3. Yes, Chaka Khan.
Winning.

Miti Miti is the sister restaurant to Bogota Latin Bistro. Miti Miti means half and half in spanish. Another trend in NYC are the ever growing amount tapas bars. I recommend coming here for happy hour, all their drinks are half off and you can try their tapas for a lower price but in smaller portions. You usually have to sit at the bar to obtain the happy hour special but our server was able to make an exception for us.
Even though I’ve been to Spain, I’ve never seen or heard of green sangria and boy have I been missing out! My usual go to is white sangria but the green one was even better! It was slightly more sweet. A single glass is pretty big so expect to get bubbly after one glass, wink wink.
The pork belly tacos took me by surprise. It was more like braised shredded pork than the usual pork belly I’m used to. I asked the server about this and she said the pork belly is actually braised for long time and then the meat gets tender enough that they shred it into pieces. I wish the tacos were more saucy, the meat was tender but it could’ve been better if there was sauce in it. The most tasty part about pork belly is the fat, yet I didn’t taste any of it at all in the tacos. The meat wasn’t even juicy.
The chorizo shrimp mac and cheese could’ve had more shrimp, the dish would’ve been better if there was truffle.
The Jamaican corn was alright, I prefer the Mexican corn from Café Habana more. I wish the cheese was melted so it didn’t fall off the corn after every bite I took.
My least favorite was the bacalao croqueta, it was too fishy for my taste.
All in all, I’d say it was only worth it for happy hour. It’s not worth paying the full price for it.
