Mixe Uptown

I had a lovely experience at Mixé. The environment, service, and food were impeccable. It's a treat to come across a chef like Jorge who is so passionate about his craft.The aguachile negro de camarones was a dish I'll be dreaming about until I return. The sauce was truly top 10 sauces I've ever had. They have happy hour on Tuesdays. Extremely reasonably priced, large portions, and loaded with flavor! I will be back!

I saw Mixé pronounced (MEE-HAY) on IG. You know I always fall for grown and sexy. Stopped in this place for a coffee because it says it's an expresso coffee bar. We go in and grab chairs at the bar. We get settled and go to order drinks and coffee. Well the bartender advised that they only have Americano's and no cream. What? Then this is NOT an expresso coffee bar. Hm. Drinks were ordered and we tried to open a tab and the same bartender advised that he didn't want to be responsible for a card. This guy's bedside manner was fuqd up. I know what to do in those cases. WRITE ABOUT IT. So I ordered nothing. My stomach wasn't settling well from eating all off that rich food at dinner, so I go back up to the bar to order some Tonic Water. I asked the same bartender the name of the former restaurant and he told me Calaveras, then he went on to pronounce the name of MIXÉ; got it. He advised that he was a new bartender; obviously. We were getting ready to leave but I had to ask a different bartender about being an expresso bar with one expresso drink and no cream or milk? I specifically asked about latte's and cappuccino's and she said yes we make those. You can order with me and I will go grab from downstairs? Hm. This proves either the other bartender didn't know or didn't want to be bothered. Either way, not the best experience. I am glad that we went impromptu because it gave me the opportunity to see if I was going to choose this place for a birthday meal with my friends. Yea, not at this time. Maybe when they fully open. The reels and pictures on IG is a bit more than the hype at this time. When we were leaving, we smelted something delicious coming out of the kitchen, though. Sorry, I didn't take pictures.

Mixe was nice. I ordered a mocktail at the bar and enjoyed some chips and guacamole. I came here for an food event and I had a nice time. The mocktail I ordered was called the Frida Khala. It was very spicy... I had to ask the bartender to leave out the spicy ingredient and the bitters. He said it would be a completely different drink but I took a chance. It was pleasant! I liked it much better than the original full ingredient version. The food was okay. As influencers, the food tends to get cold when filming and taking pictures... It sucks but it happens quite often. We ended up eating the food cold.. It still tasted good but it would have been 100% better had we eaten it hot and fresh.. This is no fault of the restaurant, it's just the way things go when doing media for a restaurant. The menu had lots of tasty dishes on it. I might come back to try the food when it's hot if I have the time.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Mixe a few weeks ago and came here with a group of friends for dinner. The ambiance reminded me a lot of Calavera, slightly darker vibe and more romantic. We started off with a round of chips and salsa and a combination of flavored and house margaritas. The portion sizes for dinner were sizable, enough for two people to share an entrée. Even though there were a lot of servers companies to the number customers, the service was slightly inconsistent (different servers bringing different items and a gap between checking in on us once we got our food). I'm sure they'll work on that leading up to their grand opening. I look forward to trying them again!

I sat at the bar and tried a coffee cocktail and the enchiladas with their house made mole. Everything was good, and service was fine and the space was airy. There were not a lot of people so I think once it gets more popular it'll have a different vibe. The drink and dish were delicious, my favorite part was the mole it had a nice bitter flavor. I'd be curious to come back and try more things.

Mixe is new in 'soft opening' mode in uptown and we visited for dinner. We've always loved this space with the large bar area and it's nicely changed up from the previous Calavera. We also really love Mexican food and margaritas, who doesn't love this on a Friday night after a work week?! The cocktails were spot on and we enjoyed the asparagus starter though the smoky flavor was a bit strong. The shrimp flautas were SO delicious I will definitely come back for these. The enchilada suizas were tasty but could use more sauce. We absolutely loved the refried beans.... Service was attentive and friendly and there's more we'd like to try, will definitely be back! Welcome to Mixe!

We miss the soft opening last Friday and decided to come and check it out. Freddy and Will were working the bar and made suggestions. We had 2 Matadors, queso flameado con chorizo and Ceviche Halibut. The food arrived fast and was appealing. Im hoping it will survive since Oakland is not a great place for survival.

I really enjoyed Mixé! The food is much better than Calavera! We had the shrimp ceviche, sopes with al pastor, and flautas de camaron. The shrimp ceviche is one the best I have had, sopes were moist and delicious and flautas were great. All the food was excellent. We had great service from our server who helped with the menu and had excellent timing. But huge shout out to the server assistant/busser who really took great care of us. The ambiance could use a little work, felt a little cold and empty in there but that could be because I was more used to Calavera. There are small improvements I would make to ensure Mixé ambiance matches their food quality, such as moving away from cheap paper napkins or more of a fun/creative cocktail menu. But overall, great job Mixé

Food was excellent. Spicy delicious and fresh. Service was friendly and good. Bar was a little slow. Didn't get our margaritas until after entrees were served.

Found this place on Yelp looks 10 mins before we walked in! Didn't have dinner plans for Vday but so glad I found this place on the fly! Waiters were super nice and attentive. Drinks were good and food was surprisingly bomb. We had the nachos and shrimp flautas = YUM. I love the ambiance and decor also. Definitely coming back to try other menu items like their aguachile.
