Back here for a second time and only reason I couldn’t leave a review for the first, you get side tracked by the beautiful food that is being brought to the table. Once your dish hits the table all you want to do is just dig in and taking photos are just an afterthought.

Mariposa falls under the veil of minas and amigos (two other local establishments) if I’m not mistaken. And from the impression I got it seems to be the least focused on out of the group.

Went for the first time a few weeks ago on a date night. My husband and I loved everything we tried. We shared lots of small plates. My favorite was the stuffed avocado. Churros were melt in your mouth good!! Service and drinks were great as well. Will definitely be returning!!

Overall it’s ok. The food wasn’t awful, but just didn’t really hit the spot. I got two tacos and was surprised with how small they were. The Mexican corn was awesome though!

We always love our experience at the Mariposa restaurant! The vibrant atmosphere, deliciously authentic dishes, and attentive staff makes it a truly memorable dining adventure. Highly recommend trying their guava chicken and also steak quesadillas– they are a true delight, our kids love their rice and beans. Can’t wait to go back for more! Tk D.

My husband and I just had a wonderful dinner at Mariposa. We ate birria and fish tacos and a crunch wrap. The food was delicious. We were very capably helped by the lovely Lorena. The manager working was Lauren, who seated us in the midst of a very busy Friday night with good spirits and perfect professionalism. This is a very dedicated group working in this colorful and friendly restaurant. Many thanks to all from 2 weary, hungry travelers!

Lovely place! Enjoyed outdoor seating. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Homemade chips and guacamole was a nice start. Everyone enjoyed their street tacos. I love the jicama slaw for a healthy side option! Drinks were delicious. Lemonadas were fun! Even the ice was cool!
