Mizizi is the best kept secret in GR even though fans shout from the rooftops about it like a 24/7 hype man. The food is electric and the people here are phenomenal. If you have a soul, eat at Mizizi and see your life and health bars max out immediately. Give them all your money, forever ❤️👌🏻

ChefShaw did not disappoint with our drug rep lunch today! He pulled through with the taco bar and Raman, and it was SO tasteful! Many coworkers said “it was really good”, “it was perfect!” “We can order from them again!” Kirel and his crew know a thing or two about food, and their love for it shows through the taste of their food! I highly recommend!

The food was delicious. It was a perfect mix of sweet and savory, cold and warm. We took our food next door to Quinnn and Tootsie. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful in explaining the menu.

Been here a few times and it’s always great. Love the quesadillas, chips, and the dragon’s breath salsa.

Excellent food, excellent service! Clean, friendly, and patient with my children as they were not familiar with the menu or some of the foods. Very explanatory! Think I found my new favorite taco hot spot!

Kid-friendliness: Excellent communication and patience with my 8 year old daughter. Of the kids aren’t happy, who is?

Took my friend here for birthday dinner and the staff was absolutely amazing. The food was good. They make their own shells and they are the best ever. Highly highly recommend checking them out.

The BEST birria in town. Hands down, no arguments. The Swahili-Mexican fusion means all other birria doesn't compare for flavor because these are incredible. The coconut-curry rice and refried beans on the side just round it out perfectly. Kirel and his team do it right!!!

Solid 10/10. I’ve had too many experiences lately where I swiped my card for $50 worth of food and it was midgrade. Nothing better than something I could’ve quickly cooked on my own. Not Mizizi! I had a veggie cactus hash taco and the pilau bowl with cactus hash. Chips and queso too. Amazing mix of spices and flavors. Healthy ingredients. Many vegan and vegetarian options. Combines several of my favorite cuisines. This is fusion done right!

Vegetarian options: They can make very clear recommendations about what is vegan and what is vegetarian. Many options to choose from.

Tried the quesadilla with chicken, very good! Good portions and it's clearly a family owned business.
