Mixiote is a traditional Mexican dish that is a rare find even in the bustling markets and restaurants of Mexico City. Located at 350 Mission Street in San Francisco, California, Mixiote offers a unique dining experience with its laboriously prepared dish.

Our mixiotes can be made with a variety of proteins including beef, chicken, tofu, and vegetables. The protein is marinated and steamed in our special guajillo sauce or our own green chile sauce for a different flavor profile. The dish is then wrapped in avocado and banana leaves to keep it moist and tender.

Traditionally, mixiotes were prepared using parchment-like paper from the maguey plant, also known as mixiote. However, due to the harm it caused to the plant, the commercial sale of mixiote is now outlawed.
