My boyfriend has been here many times, but I visited La Mulita for the first time last night. I can definitely see why he has eaten here so many times! I ordered the chilaquiles and a margarita and my boyfriend got the taquitos (on special) and a beer. The food is delicious and definitely exceeded my expectations as far as flavor. The service was friendly, and even though the margarita was pre-made, it was one of the best I've had. I'll absolutely be back!

Note: drink, not just food, menu is different at La Mulita than Delicia, but never fear Caipirinhas are available here! And boy are they worth every bit of sugar in them. They have a number of unique cocktail drinks on their menu. Food was very good. We had the chimichurri sliders. If you want a ounce of sexy without committing to a full meal, La Mulita is a great alternative to visiting Delicia. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Location: 4/5 - The place is so cute!

Harry the bar tender and waiter was dead on with both drink and food recommendations flavors were well balanced and was well priced for the freshness. Will def be coming back

We went for dinner the other night and tried a number of items. The menu at dinner is pretty limited but there's a good variety. We split a bunch of stuff and I thought everything was very good. Also, cocktails are great and reasonably priced. They have a full bar along with wines by the glass and a good selection of beer. The lunch menu is bigger. I look forward to going back and trying some other things.

I went here with my husband and daughter a month or so ago. The food was okay but I was not blown away by anything we had. The service was also a bit slow.

I've been to La Mulita for both lunch and dinner and it is quite good. The cocktails are very reasonably priced, the cermitas are excellent, and the tacos are very, very good. My complaint is regarding the dinner menu compared to the lunch menu. The dinner menu is more than half the size of the lunch menu. Having young kids are adventurous eaters, I think we'd come back for dinner more if the lunch menu was available in the evening-just for the variety. Additionally, I think the portions at La Mulita are great for sharing---I think people would probably order more food at dinner if the lunch menu was available.

Walked into Delicia and was under-dressed so opted for La Mulita. I was impressed! Very small menu but delicious. Great service!!!
(4)Matthew K.
Went to Delicia, the associated restaurant next door but the wait was long, so the staff said this place had seating. We ordered a bunch of appetizers like guacamole and the chicken croquettes. All of them were good particularly the latter. Portion size on the guacamole was a bit disappointing. The entrees were more sized as expected. Fish tacos were decent and I also got the Mexicano dog, which was good too. The lunch menu is far more extensive. I would be inclined to try La Mulita again for lunch. All in all it was appetizing and enjoyable.
(3)Kodi C.
As an avid fan of Delicia I was eager to try La Mulita. With a shared kitchen and more affordable plates I was not disappointed! The decor is fun yet casual which fits nicely with their menu. The plate sizes are smaller but the cuisine is still mouth-watering! Latin food with a bit of flare and all within your budget. I highly recommend for a quick bite, casual date night, or just fun night with friends!
(4)Melissa D.
The food was meh. I got one of the taco options and was really disappointed about how bland they were. The same is true of the service; friendly but just meh. The killer for me was the price; for a group of 5 our total came to a whopping $125. Talk about sticker shock. Don't expect chips and salsa for free, it's not. Womp womp all around. Won't be going back.
(2)Erin D.
We loved it! We went at an odd time (3 pm on a Thursday afternoon) so we had the run of the place... Everything we ate was delicious. The margarita may be the best I've ever had! Our server was awesome and made sure to bring our son's food first without our asking, which was really thoughtful. My only complaint was that they switch to the dinner menu at 3... I would have liked the "pick 2" on the lunch menu to try more Looking forward to trying Delicia even more now that we've tried the "little sister".

The folks at SoBro Cafe apparently decided to take an extended holiday vacation, so my friend and I opted for La Mulita instead - best fate-driven decision ever. Situated to the left of Delicia, this is a great little spot with a bar, variety of wooden tables for small groups, and some booth seating for a few pairs of couples in the back. Decor is a touch industrial, but unique and fun, with big string lights hanging across the ceiling. Bit more of an intimate atmosphere - nothing wild and crazy...or at least, not on a Wednesday night. Food-wise, my friend and I opted for a cocktail each (about $6-7 each), split an order of guac ($5 - delicious!) and ordered our own cemitas (a.k.a. slider sandwiches). I ordered the veggie and I'm pretty sure I could live off these things - breaded eggplant as the "burger," topped with roasted red peppers, cheese, and chipotle mayo on a bun (recommend removing the nob on the bun and eating that separate, btw). We also split an order of churros ($3.50) and while good, I'd prefer a thicker, chocolate-ier sauce. This was more like dipping it in hot chocolate, which wasn't quite substantial enough in the presence of all that fried doughy goodness! Overall, though, very pleased with the food. Service was fantastic - very attentive and helpful in explaining drinks, entrees, and portion sizes. Will definitely be returning - chilaquiles are calling my name!
(4)Ashley M.
I am a big fan of La Mulita for a quick bite with quality ingredients. The picnic bench style seating doesn't lend itself to a drawn meal with conversation and cocktails but for a quick dinner it is perfect! They have changed their menu a few times over the last few months and while I appreciate the variety I can't help but miss the first dish that won my heart. I don't recall the exact name of the dish only that it had a mole sauce that was the definition of perfection!
(4)Lauren W.
Not your average Mexican restaurant-with some unique menu options, La Mulita provides you with a fun, "hole in the wall" type experience. Great beer options as well, which is always a plus! And the service was wonderful, attentive, knowledgeable and very personable.
(4)Felicia D.
The service was amazing thanks to Harry. They were playing Motown music, which is always a win. The food was pretty good. We had the carne asada tacos, shrimp tacos and cochinita pibil cemita sliders. The tacos were good. The sliders... eh. Good guacamole - maybe a bit too much lime and creamier than I like it. Delicious margaritas.
(5)Kristy K.
This tiny spot is hidden in the same building with Delicia, but it has an approachable, affordable street food focus. We tried and shared several items from the menu -- including the guacamole, the chilaquiles (with egg! and chicken), and several tacos. I appreciate that the server was nice enough to warn us from overordering. We each had a cocktail and the prices were extremely fair ($7-$9). I feel good about coming here any day, wearing even a ratty T shirt. Delicia, we'll save for date night. Parking can be tricky, but there is a lot around the back of the building!
(4)Jake M.
A friend told me we should have lunch here, am always open to new cool places, but was surprised by how cool and good this place was. Great interior design, exposed brick, cool bar area, etc. I ordered the Chilaquiles with the fried egg (+$1), super good, it's a little pricy if you get the steak (+$3) but the egg was the perfect amount to get full with. All in all my bill would have been around $9-10 for a pretty good lunch but they accidentally forgot to make mine so get this, they gave it to me for free for being late, that is stand up and something you really dont see much in Indianapolis. Big fan of La Mulita and will eat here again, also excited to try Delicia!
(4)Rob B.
Food was decent but a little pricy for what it was. We could have spent $20 more and ate next door at Delicia! (Which is fabulous if you haven't been!!)
(3)Cortney H.
My new favorite place. I've been three times already. (It's really close to my house, don't judge.) I've tried a good portion of the menu and haven't been disappointed yet. I only wish you could get the full menu for dinner as well. Drink the Pear-a-Mule, so good!!
(5)G J.
We liked the restaurant atmosphere and service was great. We felt that some our food had been sitting a bit. We had the fish and pork tacos. Both were lifeless and mushy, how about some finely chopped tomatoes and sweet sour cream sauce. We also had an appetizer which could be described as corn hash/ mush. We have had far better from Indies food trucks at half the price. Won't return. Dessert was great
(2)Jeannie O.
Cute, casual spot off college ave...limited seating, no patio and very limited food menu. Tacos are good, croquetas are so so, atmosphere is festive, nice spot for a quick drink if you are waiting for a table at Delicia next door. Bartender was ok...hard to make conversation which is a first in Indy! I prefer more welcoming, inviting bartenders that keep you coming back for more but Trey...the server was awesome! I'd return for a cas drink and appetizer.
(3)T.j. K.
Solid spot with very good and reasonably priced food. We got here pretty much right when they opened so it wasn't busy which is always nice. Service was quick and with the prices we were able to try quite a few different things. To start we got chips and guac which was very fresh and a good way to start off our lunch. My wife and I followed that up by sharing and order of chilaquiles with eggs, on shrimp and one carne asada taco(2 for 7.50 if i remember correctly), and a Mexicano dog. All were excellent, the egg was a little too runny for my wife's liking. The Mexicano dog my have been the highlight to be but it is extremely messy so be prepared to ask for lots of extra napkins. We finished off our meal with some churros & chocolate. These were very good but the chocolate is basically just a warm chocolate milk so just know that going in.
(4)Ian B.
Do you like tacos?? you'll love these!! I have only had the tacos, quac and salsa here but have been told the rest of the menu is delicious. This is the baby sister to Delicia so some of the menu items and drink list are shared between the two places. Recommendations! Tacos: Fish, Pork, Carne Esada and Shrimp. the tortillas and the toppings are fresh and pop with flavor. (all the tacose are great, these are just my favs) Guacamole: probably one of the best in the city and made fresh. besides the normal guac they add in fresh jalapenos and pistachios. its amazing! Salsa: nothing fancy just darn good salsa! Drinks: their margaritas are made with no store bough mix, they create it in house. not too sweet not too sour. there are a couple of other drinks that are from the Delicia menu like the fire and ice that are pretty great. The bar is small but they have a nice beer selection with some locals on tap. The place is small but quant and fun to dine at. I have been many of times and only once did we have an issue. It was slammed busy and the waitress that was working our section was horrible (not purposely just couldn't keep up). A few tables left without ever getting anything ordered and our order got screwed up. All the other times i have had exceptional service and great food.

Cinco de Mayo.. La Multia... 2014... Review #300! I'm glad La Mulita decided to open for Cinco de Mayo AND that they carried their lunch menu all day, because this was the perfect place to spend the evening. My group of 4 arrived right around 7:30 and got a) front row parking and b) the picnic table to spread out around. This place was packed, but we apparently timed it right and everything worked out perfectly. No May 5th is complete without some guacamole, so it was ordered almost the second we sat down. The portion was a little smaller than I expected, but we ordered a couple more appetizers that we all shared and it seemed to work out. Food was delicious. I had a steak taco and a pork slider, and both were outstanding. I wish they would have come with a little side of tortilla chips though - some of the steak escaped and I had to use my fingers to scoop it up. Yeah, I could have asked for a fork... but where's the fun in that? I was introduced to Kale chips here... something I have never had, but will definitely be making at home in the very near future. Delicious! My personal opinion--I would probably come here for lunch and skip it for dinner. The menu is limited for dinner, and a lot of the options that sounded appealing to me weren't available at dinner. I've also been told the fire and ice cocktail served next door isn't available here. Boo.

From the creators of Delicia, La Mulita is a new casual and cheap lunch and dinner option location in SoBro. La Mulita is in the same building as Delicia and located right off of College and 52nd. One of the downsides that I can see to this location is parking. Yes, it is great that there is small lot in front and back, but if both restaurants are busy, I could see having to hunt for street parking. The restaurant is on the smaller side, having a mix of lower level tables and high top tables, with additional sitting at the bar. There are three tvs that allow you to watch a game while you dine. It's decor is that of a very polished cantina. The little extra touches, such as the brick wall, decorative tin on the under bar, and the light shades made of cans on the wall, shouldn't go unnoticed. The ceilings are on the high side, so it will most likely get loud at times. The menu has a nice variety of choices. If your looking to find the same food as Delicia, you will not see it on the menu. The only things in common between these two restaurants are the guacamole, sangria, and margarita. The menu does note which items are vegetarian. While there is no gluten free menu, the salads, soups, and tacos are either gf or can be altered to be gf. Starting off the meal with a Rum Punch, which packed punch, I felt the need to offset all of that sweetness with something a little bit salty and on the healthier side. The side of kale chips fit the bill perfectly. Looking over the taco choices, it was hard to decide which one to chose, luckily there is a combo in which you can choose two for $7. I opted for the grilled shrimp taco and carne asada taco. The tacos are on the smaller side, but do not let that fool you. They were packed full and extremely filling. The carne asada taco was good. The skirt steak had a nice marinate to it, but it was the grilled shrimp taco that stole the show for me. It was amazing. The pickled slaw and honey chipotle sauce complemented each other very well. I will definitely be back for some more shrimp tacos, and would recommend anyone looking for a cheap and filling meal, with great service to try La Mulita.

I met a strange pair at a concert once. One was there because, like me, he wanted to see the headliner. The other was there to see the opener -- he didn't much care for the main act. They managed to pull off some kind of heist with the stub where the second guy watched the opener, left, and handed off the ticket to the first guy to watch the headliner. The way the second guy felt about the opener is how I feel about La Mulita. I don't much care for Delicia next door, but La Mulita is solid. It's like Delicia, but scaled back just enough in tone, snobbiness, and price to be a great place for a casual drink and bite. The drink selection is different, but just as good as Delicia's, and is much more reasonable. The food itself is lighter, but the portions are still large enough to satisfy -- unless you like the bloated feeling you get from overeating -- and the quality is just as good. Probably the most uncommon thing you'll find there are their cemitas, which are basically just tortas on a sesame seed bun. They're slider-sized, but not too shabby. That said, I'd have to be pretty passionate about an opener to pay full concert price to see them -- I'd need to like the main act, too. La Mulita feels the same way. I like it, but not enough to draw me back as a standalone. It's the kind of place I'd go to before or after something, or sandwiched between things, because it was nearby or convenient or not too crowded. Still, it's nice to know it's an option.
(3)Ron R.
The little add-on to Delicia. I would imagine most people come here for a drink while waiting on their table for Delicia. They have very similar food, and nearly identical drinks (besides the signature ones like Fire N Ice) We ate here once before and the food was good. Bartender is not overwhelmed and therefore very friendly and talkative. Drinks are made well and cost about %25 less than next door at the restaurant. :) Would I come here purely for La Mulita? nope....but I'd come here while waiting for my table at Delicia for sure. :)
(4)Janice Ann R.
Lovely, fresh guacamole with crunchy chips. Sensational breaded eggplant cemitas with caramelized onions. Nice tight selection of beer on draft. Perfect little drink in the pear-a-mule. And right in my own damn neighborhood! Hoorah for Yelpers, hoorah for Sobro, and hoorah for me.
(5)Kevin L.
The cocktails are very thoughtful and the fish tacos rock. The vegetarian sliders were fried in the same grease the other meats so they tasted fishy. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly! When it comes to Mexican street food, this joint can't be beat!
(5)Nick S.
First time ever here and hands down the best fish tacos ever! Highly recommend this place. Prices are very reasonable.
(5)Dan V.
We really enjoyed the atmosphere, the great food, and delicious mixed drinks.
(4)David L.
I like this place. The decor is cool, and my wife and I were getting ideas for when we open our imaginary restaurant someday. The food, pretty great. The menu is a bit hard to navigate as everything on it is pretty unique to la mulita. I had to ask what at least 4 things were. So that being said getting around to ordering took awhile because I couldn't make up my mind. I ended up going with the server recommended tlayuda a sort of mexican pizza. It was awesome. My wife got the fish tacos and they remind me of the fresh catch fish tacos I loved when I was in San Diego. Very good. Washed it down with a mezcal mule, basically tequila that isn't from the tequila region in Mexico. All in all I recommend it. 30 bucks for 2 entrees, an appetizer and a drink. 4 stars because I had no idea what I was doing when ordering. I'm sure once I go more often, I'll be more comfortable with the menu.
(4)Allison F.
I won't lie: I came after reading the Indianapolis Monthly feature on the chilaquiles. I ordered it with a little bed of steak on top. Gooey goodness!
(4)Courtney S.
Parking (even on a Thursday) was a pain but as long as you're ok with a little walk, it's doable. The service was spectacular. I love how in locals places staff is usually honest and laid back. The bartender/waiter extraordinaire told me he thinks mules are a joke of a cocktail and so I steered away from the Pear-a-mule and went with the good old margarita. Cocktail-wise you really can't go wrong. We started with the chips and guac which was delicious, fresh and flavorful. We also ordered the sweet potato wedges with serrano aioli----highly recommended. I had the chimichurri sliders (they caught my eye for some reason). I seemed like and off combination but the flavors worked together and I was quite happy with my choice. (Side note: ladies, you won't be able to eat this gracefully---date tip.) Overall I'm super impressed with the service and quite happy with the food and value. It wasn't crowded when we were there but I can imagine it feels---and gets-- crowded very easily. That's just about the only downside. This is definitely good for a casual little stop with some good drinks, some interesting food and a nice cantina feel.
(4)Craig L.
Love sitting at this bar. Mezcal Mule is really nice summer drink. I'd recommend the Salsa verde doused chilaquiles with steak/chicken & egg. Fish tacos were great as was the chorizo & steak pizza app. Good prices for high quality
(4)Sarah F.
La Mulita: It's like Delicia, only you can come here on the days you didn't wash your hair! Casual. Affordable. And the same margaritas and drinks they serve over on the posh side at Delicia. I have been here a handful of times (so close to my casa!) and I have never waited for a seat. That may change once the hype catches on. And I normally go in the evening. That might matter because their lunch menu is far more substantial than their evening offerings. The menu definitely gears this place toward a lunching crowd. But don't be fooled -- you can show up any time of the day and get *something* yummy. And service is always, always terrific.
(4)Ann L.
We tried to get in at Delicia, but the wait was longer than we could manage (45 minutes) since we had tickets for a show later that evening and so the hostess suggested we try their sister restaurant next door. The food was good, but the menu available at dinnertime is very limited. The lunch menu (served until 3PM) offers a variety of tacos, but at dinner, only the fried fish tacos are available. There are soups at lunchtime, but not at dinner. My best guess regarding the reason for this is that the food is coming out of the same kitchen as Delicia, and so they pare down the menu at LaMulita so they can devote the bulk of the kitchen resources to Delicia. We has the guacamole which was really tasty; fresh avocado, with a nice little kick. The chips were fresh and tasty as well. All food is served in plastic baskets, so presentation was nothing remarkable (clear plastic cup for the guacamole with chips loaded in the basket. Salsa is in a squeeze ketchup bottle on the table which didn't seem terribly promising, so I stuck with the guacamole. I had the pork cemitas, which were basically tasty pulled pork sliders with black beans and avocados. We also ordered sides of plantain chips and sweet potato wedges which were both good. The cocktails are only $6 and they do offer a decent variety, but they do not serve the fire and ice cocktail over here in LaMulita. I'm really not sure what the rationale is for that. If they manage to figure out a way to serve the lunch menu at dinner, I'd add an extra star here, because the food is good, but it seems they haven't figured out yet how to manage the dinner crowd at Delicia and still serve more than a few options next door.

Living on the near east side, we don't often get to Broad Ripple because it's SO FAR NORTH. I know that's ridiculous, and I know it's not that far away, but we tend to stay in the neighborhoods closest to us. But! We were lucky enough to get to sample some La Mulita fare at a Yelp Elite event at Delicia back in February, and we were anxious to get there when we knew they were open. We started with the guacamole and chips ($5). I'm pretty sure my guacamole is the best ever, but theirs is pretty fabulous. It's really limey (word?) and spicier than I make mine, but we loved it. Homemade tortilla chips, I'm pretty sure, which is always a bonus. I had the Chimichurri sliders (ground beef, worcestershire, onion, red bell pepper, garlic, tomatillos, pickled slaw, chime sauce) because we'd sampled them at the Yelp event, I knew they were good, and I can admit my lack of adventurous spirit. Husband had the Cochinita Pibil Cemita (also sliders, these with achiote roasted pork, pickled onions, black beans, avocado). I liked mine, but I loved his. Heads up: these are just the sliders, no sides come with them. It was fine for us, since we started with the guacamole, plus the 2 sliders were pretty fulfilling on their own. We also had the Pear-a-Mule cocktail, which is ginger beer, lime juice, tequila, and pear puree. It's basically the best drink ever, especially for summertime. Friendly, attentive, helpful service. They missed 5 stars because the parking sucks.
(4)Sarine J.
LOVE this place. Delicia is my favorite restaurant in Indy so I'm pretty excited about La Mulita. Got Croquetas De Pollo as an appetizer and it was so filling and delicious and plentiful. I got the chorizo pizza for dinner. WOW! It was gorgeous and I didn't want to touch it but when I did, it was gone instantly. Their drinks? fantastic!
(4)Bob S.
I struggle with places like this. The atmosphere is cool, and I want to like it, but the food portions, drink prices, and service just don't justify what places like this charge. I had the (don't call it a mexican pizza) dish, but it was $9 and left me far from full. The tamale dish my friend had was the same deal - just not nearly worth the money in size or taste. You also have to pay for chips and salsa, which were nothing to write home about. Our bartender seemed more concerned with washing dishes than checking on us or our drinks to top it off. He was always running around doing things, but it seemed like the customers were fairly neglected. Again, I like the potential of the place, but don't see myself going back there.
(2)Mary B.
Located in the SoBro area of Indianapolis, La Mulita is a fantastic, new dining option for customers looking for a cheaper and more casual version of Delicia. It is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat if you are in the mood for Latin American cusine with a slight Caribbean influence. Come here for lunch rather than dinner because the lunch menu offers more options. It's the perfect place to have lunch with coworkers, friends or family. After looking at their menu for a while, I was torn between a couple options. Luckily, the lunch menu offers a 'Pick Two' option so I selected the two cemitas that drew my attention. The first was the cochinita pibil cemita, featuring pulled pork roasted in achiote topped with pickled onions, black beans and a MEASLY slice of avocado. The sesame bun was toasted slightly but still maintained a softness that provided a great backdrop to the strong Latin flavors of the black beans and the achiote. My only complaint was the avocado slice was too small, slightly disappointing and not contributing to the flavor of the cemita as much as I had hoped. The second was the pork milanesa cemita which consisted of breaded pork under a thin layer of Oaxaca cheese, chorizo, fried egg, chipotle peppers and cilantro mayo. This was my favorite of the two. The breading on the pork served as an intermediate between the spice of the chipotle peppers and the chorizo. The cilantro mayo and the fried egg were two great additions to the texture of the cemita and combined well with the rest of the ingredients. Also photographed are the vegetarian cemita and the carne asada taco. The vegetarian cemita consisted of a lightly breaded eggplant patty adorned with roasted peppers, chihuahua cheese as caramelized onion. The cemita also featured the delicious cilantro mayo. The carne asada taco was filled with marinated skirt steak, onions, cilantro and radish. Ingredients were served in a corn tortilla. The only complaint was that the taco was very tiny and not very filling. My advice? Stick to the cemitas. Overall, a great new restaurant in a fabulous part of Indianapolis. A much better price than Delicia and it's casual, rustic vibe is inviting and hip. I can't wait to try a few other items on the menu whenever I'm back in town!
(4)Leila B.
Great portions. Kid friendly. Tasty food and awesome staff. My kids loved the carnitas tacos and mexicano hot dog. And they didn't make a big deal about my daughter wanting all the toppings on the side. Oh and don't forget the guacamole. Yum!
(5)Kendra S.
Great atmosphere, delicious drinks... A must stop in sobro!
(4)Tania R.
Delicious. We were going to Delicia, but found this right next door and it was already opened - we had to wait for Delicia. We also weren't dressed very nice and didn't want to spend too much, so it was a better choice between the two, though we still want to go to Delicia for the Ribeye. Had the Tlayuda de Chorizo and pork carnitas tacos and they were delicious. Bought the salsa fresca appetizer - wish a basket was free with the meal. And had the margharitas, which were good, but smaller than Delicia - a tad cheeper. But i wanted it to be a little bigger. Overall delicious and we'd go back. Very friendly! If I went back, I would go for lunch instead - the menu has more options that I wanted to try.
(4)Victor G.
They have updated the dinner menu to include some tacos and other items! It makes me happy. La Mulita is only getting better!
(5)Naomi S.
Some of my friends had been here and highly recommended it, so we went there for some food. The Mexicano dog had been one of the items they mentioned, so I got one. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of hot dogs, but I do love things wrapped in bacon and covered in guacamole, so I gave it a shot. It looked pretty good, but upon picking it up to take a bite, the bun was already falling apart. Strike one- can't my bun be intact when it arrives in front of me, please? But, whatever, I figured I'd just cut it with a fork and eat it. This is difficult, though, with so many toppings. When I started cutting it, I realized that the bacon, well, was just raw and had no meat on it. Just a slimy pale white blob wrapped around the hot dog. The only thing I found myself saying was "this is a disaster". Strike two. I sent it back. I was still hungry, of course, and the bartender said I wouldn't be charged for it (awesome, thanks) so I split the pork tacos and chimichurri sliders with the aforementioned friends. The tacos, while being highly recommended by various people at the bar (we ate at the bar) were nothing special- pretty dry. The sliders, same thing. Dry, basic, and uninspiring. My friends, who've been gushing about this place, were also pretty unimpressed and apologized to me for the food. "It's usually better" they said. Strike three. Don't know if I'll be back, at least not for the food items I got this last time. That said, service was good, beers were good, atmosphere and decor is cool. But. I'd rather spend a little more next door at Delicia and absolutely love what I get. To be fair, I'm a late night sort and there is never a wait at Delicia when I head in after "normal"dinner time. Hopefully La Mulita gets its act together to consistently deliver the kind of food that made my friends rave in the first place.
(3)Richard H.
The interior is really cool. It does not appear to be a busy place -- Delicia is definitely more hopping -- and their dinner menu is a severely abbreviated version of their lunch menu, so definitely go for lunch instead of dinner. Nice selection of tacos, salads and sandwiches.
(3)Jason S.
An excellent option for a Latin-inspired bar atmosphere that is laid back and offers a decent variety of drinks and menu options. The margaritas, in particular, are wonderful!

Went for lunch and sat at the bar, thinking that might be quicker since we needed to get in and out quickly. The guac and chips were excellent. Not as excellent as the guac they serve next door at Delicia since there are no pistachios, but nearly as excellent. The guac was served up immediately. Then the looong wait for our other food began. The bartender was attentive to our iced tea refills, so his service skills were high, it must have just taken a long time to cook what we ordered. My husband had the El Carribean dog. Tasty he said, but probably not worth $6. The chips they mention on the menu are crumbled over the dog fixings. I had the Pick 2 with one shrimp taco, which was really nice and a vegetarian cemita which was awesome. Really, the cemita, made with eggplant, roasted red peppers with cheese is so flavorful, you would not miss the meat. I highly recommend it. They had three televisions, all on different sports channels. Audio was not up on any of the televisions and it was easy to have a conversation in this cute space.

I finally had a chance to experience La Mulita and I'm glad I did. We arrived about eight minutes before they opened for their Sunday evening meal, which left us eagerly awaiting the unlocking of the doors. La Mulita occupies a small space and is kept tidy. We sat at the bar, which is crafted of sturdy concrete. The bartender was super nice and very helpful, suggesting drinks and meals we should try. I followed his suggestions and ordered the margarita, one of the cocktails they are known for, as well as one of their well-known dishes, the Chilaquiles. If I had to describe it in a word, "Wow!" I ordered mine topped with eggs and chorizo. The oozing egg yolks and the gooey cheese screams comfort food. The spiciness of the chorizo gives a needed kick, adds a flavor jolt, and makes the dish interesting. Furthermore, the margarita was delicious. The agave nectar and orange blossom provides a nice taste twist to the normal margarita, and what puts my joy over the top is the price. It was only $6.00! I had an excellent experience and don't have one complaint. The food, atmosphere, service, and price are spectacular, therefore my rating is five stars. I can't wait to return!

Yeah! Congrats La Mulita! What better day to give this new restaurant a whirl than Cinco de Mayo with $5 salt rimmed margaritas? First off, the margarita was mighty tasty. The second one was equally delicious ;) I'm not typically a marg fan but in the spirit of the day I opted for not one but two. In general, La Mulita's cocktail menu is very wallet-friendly with most drinks falling in the $6 to $7 price range. Also, I appreciated that they had new local breweries like Outliers on the menu. Before I move on to the eats, I have to mention how cozy and sexy the space is - from the low lighting to the industrial vibe with wood timber, exposed beams, etc. (see picture) The lighting found that perfect spot between too bright and fluorescent and uber dark (ya know...we're trying super hard to feel like a speakeasy/you can hardly see your date). Nicely done. Eats: -My personal favorite was the refreshing Columbian coleslaw - I appreciated that it wasn't heavy and left me feeling less guilty about the half dozen other eats I sampled during our visit. -Delicious guac - I knew this going in but I would also like to add that the chips were tasty to boot. -salsa and chips - nothing mind blowing but I would definitely order again -kale chips - I hate to buy these when out because I can make them pretty well at home but I couldn't resist trying my neighbors - - soooo good! Plus, it's a great healthier bar bite option. -roasted red cabbage and sundried tomato pesto dip: we probably should have stopped ordering more food before this because by the time it rolled around I needed to unbutton my pants. My dining companions couldn't believe that there wasn't any meat in this app, it somehow pulled off a hearty taste with all veggies. -lastly, vegetarian chiliquales: on the dry side. Unfortunately, I couldn't taste the pepper. I'm thinking if there were a few more veggies and more "sauce" this dish would be top notch. Can't wait for my next visit!

Not at all tasty and its overpriced. The atmosphere is def sobro cutsy but that is all you are paying for...we ordered the chiliquilas and added steak, avocado and curtido. The steak was chewing and over cooked. We paid $6 between the two of us for 3 slices of avocado and a very small sample cup of Salvadorian cabbage slaw that wasn't that great and not authentic. If you want yummy perfectly seasoned chiliquilas go to paco's on keystone. If you want bland tasteless food and over priced beer go here.

I've been here twice. Both times the service was a little slow even when it was not crowded- I think the bartender may get a little distracted- but don't let that keep you away. It's got an interesting atmosphere (I like the little cubbies on the walls with the Mexican tchotchkes) and will definitely go back for the drinks. Both times I've thought the speciality cocktails listed on the menu seemed too sweet for my liking, so I told the bartender/waiter what types of things I tend to like and not like (not sweet, dry, bitter or spicy is OK) and he's concocted delicious things to pair well with my food, which is also delicious. I think the portions are just right - not enough that I either feel too stuffed or have to take a box home, but even when I arrive hungry, I leave perfectly satisfied. The dish with the grilled eggplant (I can't remember the name) on a bun is a very tasty vegetarian option and I've heard others say they especially dig the fish tacos. Oh, also, parking never seems to be an issue. I'll definitely be back.

Great drinks and service at the bar! Guacamole was delicious (small portion but delicious). It's a fun little spot for cocktails before dinner.

I came to this restaurant on a Saturday night. We sat at the bar and were tended to immediately. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the bartender was extremely welcoming and made wonderful drinks. I had the rum punch and we ordered a few appetizers. Everything about this place was wonderful! The customer service was excellent and I will definitely return and recommend this restaurant to family and friends. The only negative aspect of this restaurant is that it is difficult to find. Other than that, excellent!!
