Chef Jose Salazar • Mita's Restaurant | Downtown Cincinnati Restaurant & Tapas Reviews
Another 12/10 experience from them best chef in Cincinnati.
The service, atmosphere, drinks, and most importantly, food all made for the perfect night. The old classics were better than we remembered them and the tamales are definitely a new staple.

Previously went to Mita's with a bigger group so we had a limited menu so this is our first time here with the full experience. Definitely recommend the shishito peppers and tostones. In terms of meats, the short rib empanadas were delicious and the dough was very flaky and buttery. We also got the pork belly tacos and they were very well caramelized. Recommend the tres leches cake for dessert, I could swim in that sauce.
I just got into Spanish cuisine! It is the most incredible
I just got into Spanish cuisine! It is the most incredible food. Everything was bursting in flavors that were both unique and complementary. The server was knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. I loved the large windows and lower lighting. They recommended 5-6 plates per two people. The wine list is extensive and it was great to choose from wines local to Spain! There is plenty of street parking.

I've eaten there many times and as always it was exceptional, food and service is really good...easy parking and comfortable seating, good vibe and reasonable cost makes it ideal...

Last night was our first time at Mita's, and it 100% lived up to every expectation!! Jose Salazar and team's dishes had such unique flavors that each bite left you salivating for more. Each tapa plate came out one after another, giving us time to enjoy each item, but kept us excited and wondering for the next one. Highly recommend!! Service was also wonderful and our waitress gave us great recommendations!
Great tapas place.
The pork belly tacos and plantains were by far our favorites. They brought out a cute cookie for her birthday also. Very thoughtful
Always love mitas, and got the venison tartare this time!
Always love mitas, and got the venison tartare this time! Great flavor and not gamey at all. Snag yourself a reservation to one of the top restaurants in the US!

Good service. Bad ceviche. Overpriced in general
I went with my girlfriend, and we ordered five small plates/tapas. 1. Tablas de queso con membrillo (cheese table) we like it, but the membrillo was a little 2. pimientos piquillo filled with goat cheese. Perfect. 2 units 3. Patatas Bravas. It is different from the traditional Spanish version, but I liked them. 4. Coquetas. Eran cuatro unidades, con alioli. Bien 5. ceviche. I had very high expectations and… the worst of the five plates. It is slight and does not have much flavor. This one was disappointing The service was excellent, but the price/food ratio was a bit overpriced, in my opinion.
Just ok.
Nothing memorable and wouldn't go again. Spent almost 150 for two of us and in hindsight wish we had gone somewhere else. Service was fine but the whole experience was just mediocre.

I came with my boyfriend for our anniversary and had the most amazing experience! Our waitress was wonderful, the food was perfect, and the ambiance was perfect for a date night. We were surprised with the most delicious desserts and champagne at the end of the night. I would recommend this restaurant 100%! You must come here!
The power of Christ compels me.
..to leave a great review and go back to Mita's soon. This was phenomenal. The service, the food, the pacing of the meal, the attention from our server Lindsey...absolutely five stars. First, Chris at the door has the perfect little welcoming smile, and did a great job of making us feel like our party belonged as soon as we entered. We'd briefly thought to enlarge our group, and Chris acted like changing a major reservation at the last moment was not an issue at all. Absolutely unfazed. We ultimately decided to keep our small group at 4, and enjoyed a round of cocktails before heading to our table. I love a restaurant that just transfers your bar tab to your table as opposed to making you settle up immediately. Talk about a relaxed transition from bar to table. The sangria was delicious, the old fashioneds were even better, and I have to admit, I haven't seen as inventive a cocktail menu as Mita's has in quite some time. I haven't even started on the food. That glorious and delicious food. There was one STANDOUT dish that was so special, it mentally took me back to my meal at Nobu in Caesar's Palace in Vegas. The chef, in his/her mad genius, sent out a venison carpaccio dish that my table literally ended up fighting over the last bite. The flavors on this dish, the textures, the finish? Glorious. Let me talk about my server, Lindsey, for a hot minute. When I tell you this girl KNOWS her menu...she KNOWS the menu. After she's taken the table's order she asked about food allergies. Someone in the group named theirs, and Lindsey IMMEDIATELY told her the ingredients of the dish she's ordered contained the allergen in question. She offered a corrective on the spot, went to the kitchen to confirm with the chef, and we were good to go. This may seem small to you, but I hate going places and ordering things only to have to wait until the food gets to the table to realize the very thing you requested NOT be on your plate, is ALLLLLL over your damn plate. (Some server in Memphis, TN, once almost killed a niece and nephew of mine because she had peanuts put on their Thai salads even after we'd specifically said the children had peanut allergies). So kudos to Lindsey for knowing the Mita menu and being able to recommend alterations that don't compromise the final dish. I'll definitely be back, with friends or by myself. The food, the service, and the ambiance are all well worth it, and if you've never been...the power of Christ compels you...to now go enjoy Mita's. P.S. A shoutout to Benjamin, the bellman across the street from Mita's at the Hilton. He absolutely sent our party over to Mita's in style. We'd struggled to find parking and as we circled asking, he said, "You're just going to Mita's across the street? I'll take care of you." Free parking downtown just because he was a good young man and wanted us to enjoy our dinner at Mita's. I love it when local businesses look out for each other and their patrons. I just love it.
One of my favorite restaurants in all of Cincinnati.
Go with friends, share plates, drink wine, thank me later.
If you want a delightful and different experience every
If you want a delightful and different experience every time, check this place out. My wife and I first discovered this place on our first anniversary. Our server was so engaging and kind. They brought us champagne immediately (we referenced anniversary on the reservation). The server was very knowledgeable of the menu and had great recommendations. All the food was delicious, unique, and fun. My favorite was the pulpo, but we tried so many dishes and everything was exquisite. The wines are all excellent too. Not a bad thing on the menu. We loved our experience so much, we decided to make it our anniversary spot. The only downside is we don't get to come as much but for 5 anniversaries now, we have enjoyed Mita's. Every experience delicious and different, every time excellent food, drink, and service. Cannot recommend this place more, and we look forward to our next anniversary there.
Excellent experience last night.
Juan was our server, asked about our time restrictions and advised us when and what to order. He was professional, friendly and advised us perfectly. We had ceviche, plaintains, pork belly tacos along with orange wine.Food was very good. Will return.
Mita's had amazing sliders.
We also tried olives and ceviche, which were good, but the sliders were the best. I recommend skipping the squash and mushrooms. When I go back I will get the tacos and the wagyu sirloin steak. The servers can tell you about how many each small plate serves and make recommendations. We also enjoyed the decor. The dividers kept the noise down some and were interesting and unique.
Looking for a fun spot with small plates in an elegant
Looking for a fun spot with small plates in an elegant atmosphere? Look no further! Mita's offers an authentic menu with several options your server will surely be knowledgeable on! A must try!
The ambience of this place is great, which is why it's 2/5
The ambience of this place is great, which is why it's 2/5 and not 0/5. We ordered the patatas bravas with aioli (potatoes lol) , stuffed peppers, muslos de pollo (it's just chicken thighs), and the arepa (corn pancake). The potatoes were over salted and had too much paprika. They tasted like the nacho cheese fries from Taco Bell. I can't recommend this. The stuffed peppers were decent but they only come with TWO PEPPERS per order. That's $6 a pepper... what?! The chicken thighs were plated nicely. What it lacked in salt was made up for in seasoning. Just kidding, it was flavorless too. I can't recommend this either. The arepa was pretty tasty, but you could go to the area establishment and get this for half the price. This place is great for instagram but not your tastebuds or wallet. I was disappointed and spent roughly $100(includes paid parking) on this mediocre crap.
Another Fantastic Meal!
We took our three adult children (late 20's), who have never experienced real Spanish Tapas, for Christmas dinner on the Dec. 23rd. Because none of us had ever experienced paella, we ordered it upon seating like the restaurant suggested. We then proceeded to order almost one of everything on the menu! Our server Max, which my wife and I have had serve us before, was lovely and very attentive. Our two bottles of Rose wine that we ordered were lovely. We started having our tapas and then the paella was served way before we were expecting. So the big dish took up a lot of room on the table while we were trying to navigate the other dishes. But all ended up okay. Here is what we all thought: Cheese plate: absolutely lovely Mushrooms: Rich Life Farms (local shrooms) and squash. Excellent Empanadas: good, sauce is lovely Ceviche: very fresh, very citrus forward as a ceviche should be Taco: favorite of our group, we should have ordered more Carne Asada: OMG! this is the best dish we had, please order this. Paella: It was very seafood forward, which was great, but not as much food as we thought. We all loved the seasoning of the rice, but my son was the only one who ate the octopus. All of the other shellfish were cooked well and tasty. Shrimp Skewer on a Baguette: fantastic!! Just order it. We had a lovely drink called Carajillo to end the night. It's a Spanish Liqueur that was lovely.
Great Place to Eat
the Food and Service here is GREAT !! it's in a great location in downtown Cincinnati, i can't say enough about how Good the food is. Our waiter was great and explained their menu really well and he provided great service. We'll be coming to eat here anytime we're in Cincinnati.
Go here!
Delicious food. This is a great place to go to have a few tastes of several menu items. They are small and shareable plates, which is a great way to taste a lot of menu items. Food was delicious and we enjoyed the wine as well. Recommended!
Great food
Again a great experience at Mita’s Great tapas and small bites that’s are.shareable. Such as ceviche or the wonderful roasted Shishito peppers. I enjoy sitting at the bar for great service
30th birthday celebration
Perfect place to celebrate my foodie son's 30th birthday! He's from Austin, where they have an amazing culinary scene, so we wanted to take him somewhere special and Mita's fit the bill! Four of us took turns choosing tapas, that we all shared. In all, we tried 8 tapas, 2 desserts, and 7 drinks and not one disappointed! I would highly recommend Mita's and am sure we will return.
James Beard Chef!
There was nothing but exceptional food here. Each small plate bright new, sumptuous tastes. We overspent because we just kept ordering- cheese, arepa, tostones (my fav), sliders, pan con tomatoes... it was truly amazing. We will return here!
Too good for words
One of the best ever! I particularly liked the paella. The pulpos was super! The papas was unique! I finished with a chocolate tort! I think it was the best tapas I have been to. This is a must do if in Cincinnati
Amazing Taste composition experience
Delicious food!!! Had a Ceviche del Dia and it was a fusion of tastes and also light enough to leave space for the desert that the kind bar tender helped me to choose: strawberry and rhubarb empanadas … probably the best I’ve ever had! Thank you and I’ll be back again.
Everything was freshly made…
Fresh, fresh, fresh food, very pleasant. We where lucky to get a table. It was busy on a Wednesday. You must book a table. Everything we ate was tasty. I had a cocktail as a starter, it was good as well. Definitely recommend this restaurant. It was an upscaled tapas restaurant.
