MÍRAME

"Brunch at Mírame is the best of both worlds. You get to eat delicious and creative Mexican-leaning dishes like fried chicken tacos and sourdough pancakes stuffed with sweet corn, but on a breezy Beverly Hills patio that feels refreshingly casual for the 90210. The cocktails also happen to be excellent, including the tart Bidi Bidi Bom Bom that's essentially a passion fruit slushie spiked with tequila." - jess basser sanders, nikko duren, sylvio martins

"This modern Mexican spot in Beverly Hills is offering a creative Thanksgiving takeout package that feeds 6-8 people for $450. Dishes include a pipian-brined organic turkey, mayacoba charro beans, baby corn esquites, mushroom and pine nut bread pudding, and a masa-crusted pumpkin pie. Available for pickup on November 24. Orders can be placed via Tock." - kat hong, nikko duren, garrett snyder

"Aside from Maluma, oysters and chocolate are among the world’s most proven aphrodisiacs, and Mirame is leaning into that fact. The upscale Mexican restaurant in Beverly Hills is doing a special $69(!) Valentine’s Day package that comes with two dozen oysters and six mezcal-dark-chocolate-spiced truffles. Pickup only." - brant cox

"This colorful Mexican spot in Beverly Hills is fancy, fun, and a great option when you’re excited to go on a date with someone where the connection has nothing to do with your wifi signal. The menu is filled with dishes like crispy salmon skin chicharrónes, a gamey, tender short rib quesadilla covered in fresh herbs, and some really incredible costilla tacos with Bordelaise sauce. And, unlike other upscale places in the neighborhood, you’ll only need about two dishes per person since the portions are generous." - brant cox

"Mírame and designer rugs share a common trait: they're expensive and compete with cheaper alternatives that provide similar results. But unlike a handwoven alpaca mat whose value plummets once it touches your floor, Mírame has enough redeeming qualities to make it a worthwhile splurge. This upscale Beverly Hills spot offers a slick, buzzy atmosphere with excellent cocktails and creative Mexican dishes that you won't find elsewhere.  Similar to dressing for LA "winters," the ambiance at Mírame is tricky to gauge. On the one hand, the space looks like a bougie Baja hotel, with decorative cacti, warm, sexy lighting, and a crackling fireplace. You nearly (keyword: nearly) get transported somewhere. The crowd, however, is far more casual, which is rare for Beverly Hills.  It takes roughly three seconds for the menu here to grab your attention. Rather than chips and guac, you'll find salmon skin chicharrones dipped in fermented garlic aioli. Tostadas are topped with duck confit that melts on your tongue, and the charred pork belly tacos get brightened up with a tangy tomatillo puree. And like its sibling restaurant , the elaborate cocktails here are a must-order. There's a fragrant, fennel-y spin on a white negroni called the Turf War and a slushy passion fruit concoction called the Bidi Bidi Bom Bom that should be served at every poolside bar, stat. With so many great Mexican restaurants in this town, a meal at Mírame can feel priced up due to its flashy zip code. But as with any other indulgent purchase, there's no denying that sitting on this breezy patio with some fancier-than-they-need-to-tacos is a pleasurable experience overall. " - Sylvio Martins
