"Joshua Gil's heirloom-masa modern Mexican is one of the best date rooms in Beverly Hills — book the patio and share across the table."
About Mírame
Mírame opened in 2020 on Canon Drive and quickly rewrote what contemporary Mexican could look like in Beverly Hills. Founded by chef Joshua Gil with partner Matthew Egan, it builds an ingredient-driven, ever-changing menu around masa ground in-house from heirloom organic corn. Recommended by the MICHELIN Guide, the kitchen turns out share plates like salmon-skin chicharron and slow-braised pork belly in a design-forward room that leans more stylish-night-out than hushed temple. It sits at 419 North Canon Drive, a short walk from Rodeo Drive.
The Kitchen
Joshua Gil cooks a personal, regionally-rooted take on Mexican food that the MICHELIN Guide singles out for its house-made masa, milled from heirloom organic corn varietals and the backbone of the tortillas and antojitos. The menu shifts with the season and the market, but signatures recur: a crisp salmon-skin chicharron, a rich braised pork belly, and a Tijuana-style Caesar that nods to the dish's cross-border origins. Cocktails lean agave-forward, with mezcal and tequila driving a list built for sharing.
The format is small and large plates meant for the middle of the table rather than a fixed tasting menu, which keeps a meal flexible — light and snacky at the bar, or a full spread on the patio. Pricing is mid-range for Beverly Hills: starters around USD 14 to 24, larger plates roughly USD 28 to 45. The cooking rewards ordering widely and letting the masa-based dishes anchor the table.
The Room
Mírame is a warm, design-led space — terracotta tones, greenery and soft lighting inside, with a coveted front patio that opens to Canon Drive. It reads lively and social rather than formal: a good room for conversation that wants a bit of buzz, with a bar that works for a drop-in drink and a few plates. Service is friendly and on-script with the menu's frequent changes. On a warm Los Angeles evening the patio is the seat to request; the bar is the better perch for a spontaneous first date.
Best for a Date or Stylish Dinner
Book Mírame for a date or a stylish dinner with friends — the warm lighting, strong agave cocktails and share-plate format keep an evening relaxed and conversational, and the Beverly Hills address makes it an easy yes for impressing out-of-town guests. The patio is the romantic seat; the bar suits a livelier night. See more best Mexican restaurants and ideas for a first date or birthday dinner.
Not for
Not for a quiet, formal tasting-menu occasion — Mírame is a buzzy, design-forward share-plate room, so a table chasing hushed fine-dining ceremony or a fixed multi-course menu will be happier elsewhere.
