Very nice. Parking and finding it was easy. Everything we ordered was really good especially the dessert (chocolate tres Leche cake) Seating is very open and not very private and the lighting is dim on the tables which could be improved by candles. It was hard for me to read the menu. The only food we got that wasn’t 5 stars was probably the corn fritters which were a bit bitter. We will go back for sure. Maybe during daylight.

Mariposa at the Mint was the perfect spot to celebrate my birthday! The atmosphere was beautiful, creating a warm and inviting experience. Our server, Rebecca, was absolutely phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and eager to make our evening special. She even took pictures for us and provided excellent food and drink recommendations. Even on a quieter Tuesday evening, the service was top-notch. I can’t wait to come back and try their brunch!

We left prior to us having any food but the ambiance was beautiful and the noise level was very minimal. The service we were provided was not the best. Me and my wife will try again in a few weeks.

Our second time at Mariposa was great! Now that we understood the menu and dishes better after our first “rookie” dinner, we were able to order a variety that was portion correct for our party of four. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. Great experience and we will certainly dine here again. The location for Knight Theater and Bechtler events cannot be beat!
