Vegan cheese empanada was very tasty and made to order. They also had a rice, bean, tofu bowl with a nice sauce. Limited options but happy to have something tasty with a beautiful view of the ocean

Bay Area restaurant quality cuisine, in the hidden gem that is Shelter Cove. The food is delicious, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is friendly, for kids too.
You must try the empanadas!

Had an excellent meal. Started with the Mini Empanadas. Then fresh caught fish abd the traditional Stewed Beef with beans & rice. And the Venezuela Lemonaid was just wow. Go there. You won't be disappointed!!

When I visited, there was only one vegan entree, a zucchini pasta dish. It was delicious though. The vegan cheese empanada was also very good. The restaurant is in a convenient location near several of the town’s hotels, and has a good view of the ocean. There was also a live guitarist there which was nice. The restaurant is in a small and cozy building and had a nice atmosphere. Bar seating and outdoor seating was available.

If you're reading this review, there's a decent chance you're desperately trying to eek a few kilobytes out of your internet connection to find a good place to eat. Let me make your search easier:
If you want to utter 'f me that's good' under your breath, go here.
In terms of food, this place is easily the best in Shelter Cove. We're talking about phenomenal dishes and the best empanadas I've ever been blessed to devour.
The view is great, but all the Shelter Cove restaurants can say the same. Mi Mochmia is so good it'll distract you from the ocean view.
If I don't eat here again before I die, I've died too soon.

This is not only the best dining experience in Shelter Cove, it’s one of the best in all of Nor Cal. The food is phenomenal and homemade. The service is super friendly, caring and fun. My top recommend to any backpackers of The Lost Coast is to begin and end your journey here

Food and service were very good. Get there early or else expect to wait.
Very sad we didn't get to try the food because it looks amazing. Google says open until 9pm but we got there at 8:35 and they said the kitchen closes at 8:30. Plan accordingly!

What a great place to be. Food, service, and the view are amazing. The plates are made with such care and love. Simple and healthy ingredients. We even had a guy playing violin outside for our meal with the sunset over the ocean. Empanadas are a 10. We will be back.

We had dinner here on a weekend. We were seated right away. It looks like they have more outside seating than inside however the glass walls did a good job of keeping us warm. The food arrived quickly and was good. The staff were very good. My pineapple drink was fresh squeezed and a refreshing change.

Mi Mochima is such a delight! I had the fresh fish and sangria, and they were both delicious. The sangria is probably the very best I've ever had in my life! The staff are attentive and friendly, and the views of the ocean are lovely. Highly recommend!
