LA｜Sparkling Garden Vibes 💫｜Mirate 🇲🇽

A lovely Mexican spot with great drinks and a cozy atmosphere—perfect for a weekend catch-up with friends! 🍹 💗 Have to give a shoutout to their cocktails—they blend Mexican flavors in creative ways, without relying on the usual spicy-tequila combo you see everywhere. 🥃 My favorite was the first drink I tried: La Sonadora. The menu calls it a “purified milk punch” made with goat milk—which totally caught my curiosity! 🥛 It starts with a refreshing burst of passionfruit, then unfolds into a rich, smooth goat milk aroma that’s unique but not overpowering. Really memorable! 🌮 For food, we tried the pork belly taco and mushroom taco—both standouts. The pork belly was surprisingly not too heavy, and the mushroom taco (listed under “Arab-style tacos” on the Spanish menu) was served kebab-style on a skewer—so tasty! 🥩 Another highlight was the carne asada—steak marinated with goji berries, giving it a reddish tint and a subtle sweet-tangy flavor that paired beautifully with the beef. Served with chimichurri—my favorite! 🌿 📝 Overall, the drinks stood out more than the food, but the menu does a great job reimagining classic Mexican dishes. The space is built around a patio garden with trees strung with soft, romantic lights—so dreamy! 💡 Great for dates, small gatherings, or just casual drinks. Many dishes are shareable and perfect with cocktails. 🔖 Only downside: it can get a bit noisy inside. Have you been to Mirate? What’s your favorite Mexican-inspired cocktail?
