Wonderful experience as always at Miru. We had a table of 7 and it was perfect as we were able to hear and see each other sitting at a large round tucked in the corner, while still enjoying the vibe of the restaurant. Service is consistently exceptional. Food is delicious and our vegan at the table was very satisfied. Highly recommend!

Staff was attentive, but not overbearing even with a full house. Food came hot and quickly. Free street parking on the Sunday makes it a easy stop. The Molletes and Azteca guarantees that I’ll be back again. 5/5
