Mírame

Tucked into the heart of Beverly Hills, Mírame brings a sense of playful sophistication to upscale Mexican dining. The space evokes the feeling of a chic Baja retreat, complete with decorative cacti, warm amber lighting, and a crackling fireplace that sets a cozy yet elevated mood. Despite its glamorous surroundings, the vibe here skews surprisingly laid-back for the neighborhood—think elevated comfort rather than stuffy formality.

The menu at Mírame takes familiar Mexican fare and gives it an inventive twist. Instead of the usual chips and guacamole, you’ll start with crispy salmon skin chicharrones dunked in a gloriously pungent fermented garlic aioli. The duck carnitas tostadas are a must-order, offering layers of contrasting textures from silky avocado to smoky corn and funky huitlacoche salsa. The charred pork belly tacos demonstrate the kitchen’s understanding of balance, with rich, tender meat cut by bright tomatillo sauce. And whatever you do, don’t skip the cocktails—the rose-scented Como La Flor and the tamarind-mezcal Tulum Tu.0 are worth the visit alone.

This is the kind of place made for celebrating. Whether you’re toasting a birthday, marking an anniversary, or simply treating yourself to a splurge-worthy dinner, Mírame delivers an experience that feels special without being pretentious. The breezy patio is perfect for warm evenings, and the creative menu gives you plenty of reasons to return and explore.

Yes, the prices reflect the Beverly Hills address, and you could certainly find excellent Mexican food for less elsewhere in LA. But when you factor in the inventive cooking, stellar cocktail program, and that undeniably polished ambiance, Mírame earns its place as a worthy destination for those occasions when you want your tacos with a side of glamour.
