I love shareable plates and this is them perfect place for that. Staff is super nice and know the menu. The empanadas are and Bocadilla sliders are awesome!
Excellence
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Mita’s last night. Five dishes shared, each of which was expertly prepared and presented. Thanks to Heather for her excellent service. This restaurant should be on your list for regular Cincinnati dining. Note:
Not to be missed.
Really great dishes at a bargain price. Online photos don’t do justice to the space. We were amazed by all we had from breads to salads to mains. We would recommend this to all.

JUST GO ALREADY !!!
This is our 3rd trip to Mitas. Each time the experience was top notch both in food quality and service. I am a Spanish food snob but on this trip we did branch out a bit on the suggestion of a friend and tried the "sliders" The only thi
A good flavor of Spain.
Park in nearby parking lots. Made a reservation. Upon arrival we were promptly greeted, our reservation recognized and seated to our preference. The Spanish style dining take a little to get used to. We enjoyed the tapas and racciones. Tasty food, s
Excellent Service, Solid Food
Similar to previous experiences food was solidly good. The Peaches with Ham were interesting, a first for us. Presentation was creatively. Flavors blended well, sweet and salty. Tostones and Guacamole were good. Plenty of tostones for 5he guacam
Horrible customer service
I went there with colleagues from the AP Reading. We had appetizers and then a horrible paella (very salty and spicy). We left it there, but did not complain. That night I got really sick: I discharged for more that n 12 hours and lost a day of work.
Wonderful flavors
Our meal was wonderful. We selected an item from each of the menu categories. The dishes were very flavorful and fresh. Our server was outstanding and made sure to explain the menu and make suggestions when asked. We will definetly be back.
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.

The pork belly tacos and plantains were by far our favorites. They brought out a cute cookie for her birthday also. Very thoughtful

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.

One of my favorite restaurants in all of Cincinnati.
Go with friends, share plates, drink wine, thank me later.
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

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 sa
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 proc
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
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
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
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 wa
