This is our new “hey…do we want burgers tonight?” PLACE. My fiance and I have been looking for a local burger spot…you know, the spot where you can tell visitors/friends “OH- YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE”. And FINALLY we have found one. This place is relocated from Libertyville, has the kindest most attentive staff, a chill vibe, and pre-Covid prices. We came for dinner and their menu had a balanced spread of salads, sandwiches/burgers, and other dinner entrees. I had the habanero mango chicken sandwich w sweet potato fries, he got the double smash burger w fries, and we shared the chicken tortilla soup for an app. Everything was so flavorful and piping hot. They also offered me two sauces for my sandwich ( a mild one and a hot one, I went with the extra spicy) and it PERFORMED. Serv

My husband and I went with my brother and sister-in-law for Valentine's day, for dinner. Everyone was friendly! The food was excellent!! I shared the Pepper Steak with Rice and a Beet Salad with my sister-in-law and the amount we got was more than enough to share! My husband had the Shrimp Taco dinner and my brother the full slab of ribs with all the trimmings! We all tried each other's meal and OMG, everything was phenomenal! We also shared 2 bottles of wine. Not to mention the Flan and Tres Leches cake... Amazing!! We had great service! The Chef and his son came out to greet us and to make sure that we were well taken care of!! When you factor everything we had, plus drinks, desserts and coffee, the price was not bad! We will definitely be going back again and highly recommend this re

This place is amazing! The food is incredibly delicious, and I love that they make their own pesto sauce—it really adds a special touch. Our bill for three people was $70, which included soup and a main course. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. Highly recommend!

This place has amazing food. I had a very good smash burger and exceptional lentil soup when I visited last weekend. But enough about the food. What is even better is the amazing customer service. I came in and asked for help because my car was stuck in the snow and asked for help. Oscar and Shorty, the two restaurant managers, were more than willing to help me. After I finished my meal, they came outside with shovels and helped me push my car out of the snow. It was really nice of them to do this and most people would have probably stayed inside. It really shows a lot of character when you are willing to help someone in need. I highly recommend this place for the food and customer service and hope people recognize the kindness of the people who work here.

We first discovered the Mixto when it was in Libertyville and were sorry they left but are happy to have found them again in Highland Park. Oscar, Ariana, and Stephanie do a great job with delicious food and warm and friendly service. You can tell they really care making sure customers are pleased with their meals. Well worth the trip from Round Lake. We will be back.
