Mijo Modern Mexican

We stopped here for breakfast. The atmosphere was great. We did outdoor sitting as it was a beautiful sunny day out. They have large tables for large groups. Chips and dip was serve right away. The sala was amazing!! The menu description for every dish were well explained. The food was great. The staff members were great and super helpful. We ordered a few dishes and i must say the lobster tacos are a must!! Portion of their food was generous and shareable. They have a unique cocktail menu and a small non-alcoholic section for drinks. Dessert was delicious as well.

I will admit I was not to sure about this one but a friend of a friend recommended it and it was almost perfect. It was definitely more modern Mexican which apparently I am into. I thought it had a very cool setting very relaxing kind of day of the dead type theme going which was different for sure but cool all the same. The chips, salsa and guacamole were wonderful little kick off the salsa had a perfect amount of heat and that guacamole was just so creamy so flavorful one of the best I’ve ever had. For appetizers we started out with the charred octopus, which was so unbelievably tender. You didn’t even need a knife to cut it yet the ends of the tentacles were perfectly crisp. The chorizo and potatoes underneath added an unbelievable flavor and I’m not sure what the side sauces were but they were the complete composed bite. We also got the chicken empanadas which were extremely crispy well seasoned And had an amazing chipotle, mayo, dipping sauce it was just the right amount of heat and sweet. Then we got the shrimp and scallop dish that was flaming. It was a very cool presentation. The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly not soft not rubbery. They had a perfect little snap to them. For our last appetizer we got the tuna tostada Which had amazing texture with the very thin, almost rice, puff on the bottom with the very smooth tuna on top it was wonderful. For entrées, we got the sizzling fajita platter with Carne Asada steak and blackened grilled shrimp, Perfectly cooked perfectly seasoned the Carne Asada just melted in your mouth. The shrimp had a perfect snap texture to it. All the veggies were on point still had a little tiny snap to them. The tortillas were nice and warm. The chicken mole I’ve had it at some places where they try too hard with the chocolate to make it the star. This was such a wonderful dish. I’m actually upset that I didn’t get it for myself. Excellent amount of flavor. Cinnamon was coming through beautifully. It was perfectly cooked and it made me want to get one to go. Here is the only thing that I had a problem with really the street corn It was just OK nothing spectacular which surprised me. For desserts, we got the flaming skull flan, which was set on fire table side was very cool presentation. The chocolate was absolutely amazing and the flan was perfect texture so creamy perfectly set just melted it in your mouth. The coconut cream with berries was very similar to whipped cream, but had obviously a coconut flavor. It was amazingly well set delicious creamy and just an absolute pleasure to have. Mexican Twinkie Trio It was poundcake marshmallow with a chocolate crust. It was probably the star of the show on the desert end. It was so good we all wanted to get another order. Perfect snap on the outside absolutely soft and gooey on the inside. What more can you ask for it wasn’t dry and it wasn’t rubbery marshmallow it just checked all the boxes for all four of us. WELL DONE MIJO MODERN MEXICAN WELL DONE.

The atmosphere was great, but It was a long wait time to be seated. We ordered just to be disappointed with the portion size to price and the flavors weren't supported by the ambiance. My wife ordered the fajitas in which the veggie to meat ratio was ridiculous and no sides with this dish, I ordered shrimp tacos, which are much better on food trucks but it did come with sides. The restaurant is just eye candy.

We came for Happy Hour. The salsa was amazing. The street corn was really good. The guacamole was so so. The tortillas for the fajitas were dry. Amir was our server. He was friendly and tentative. The drinks were okay. Nothing to brag about. The atmosphere was pleasant. The music was nice and not too loud. The hostess was also very pleasant. I might come back to try the other items on the happy hour menu or checkout the speakeasy lounge when it’s open to the general public.

Justin, our server was on point all throughout the meal and was attentive without being annoying. He honored our special request and even added soda to my sangria when I didn’t care for the level of sweetness. He understood we had two tired and antsy kids with us and was patient and gracious. The food was good, the cocktails were great and the atmosphere was relaxing. The only complaint I have is that the table kept rocking back and forth which is annoying and with kids made me nervous. Which was why I didn’t give them 5 stars. They really need to stabilize their tables better. We checked the other table and it was the same. We folded a napkin under the leg to try and stabilize it. Over all though it was a nice evening out and a great experience.

Mijo is a nice take on mexican cuisine with the upscale look and prices to go with. We did enjoy all our dishes. The guacamole was some of the best I've had. The wait staff are very friendly. Something I noticed about dining here was that every booth feels intimate. Like it's just you there with your significant other. The hidden bar was pretty cool.

We visited as a place to celebrate an important event in our lives. So positive vibes in this first visit. We did not disclose our celebration. We arrived earlier than our reservation, great, we went to the bar! They are primarily focused on tequila and mescal. I like scotch, the selection was higher limited and way overpriced. The lady bartender was relaxed and professional! Eventually, I surrendered to a very well made martini. Selection was minus one, the service was a plus two. We were seated on time in a great booth bordering the outside and inside seating. Warning, booth seating is very low and cushions collapse upon immediate touchdown. Table height was slightly high to begin with so it may be wise to reconsider booth seating. Minus one. Table servers were relaxed, friendly, and professional. Not overly talkative but knowledgeable and customer focused. Plus 2. The interior decoration is surprisingly quite pretty to me. It is very tropical like, with corresponding music, not too loud. We really liked being there. The appetizer, shrimp and scallops, served in scallops shells, very, very good. The usual tortilla chips were served with salsa and we ordered guacamole, what a great choice! Chips were warm and tasty with a nice corn flavor. The salsa was very good as well with enough flavor that suggested it may be house made as this salsa fan can attest. But the guacamole, what a nice dish. It was really to our liking, it is the best of all that I can recall. One of the plates we ordered was lobster tacos. The other dish was enchiladas Verde, suiza. We loved them. Especially since we ordered a side of sweet corn which had a very interesting delicious flavor that truly complimented both plates. The dessert menu is rather limited and having strawberries in almost all offerings. We chose the chocolate flaming skull, too heavy and rich. No decaf coffee is available. So, it was a strong experience with a bit of a let down at the end. Frankly, we didn't need desert after all the wonderful tastes we enjoyed, but we'll, it was a celebration for both of us. We are so glad we didn't go to our usual steakhouse. It was different, special, and a wonderful choice among all that are our good fortune to have available to us in the Las Vegas Valley. We will definitely return. Thanks to all the staff at the restaurant and especially to those two pretty lady bartenders that started in all in a very nice way. My wife and I thank you.
