text: Love Mingo I am still more of a fan of Mundo one of their other establishments but Mingo is definitely a spot to try Nestled right in the heart of the arts district in DTLV across Artifice it is the perfect spot to grab dinner and drinks before a night of downtown debauchery nnWe came with a large party of people for a birthday dinner It was surprising because THE PLACE WAS DEAD Although I cannot see whythe food drinks service and ambiancedecor are up to par with some of the trendy eateries downtown I am guessing it was because everyone must have been doing Christmas shopping or attending holiday parties as it was the weekend right before ChristmasnnI love their cocktail menu My favorite was the Gossip cocktail I think that is what it was calledit has fresh muddled grapes and elderflower liquor in it It is delicious I ordered a second round nnFor food I ordered the Ribeye mediumrare I thought it may have been a little too salty but everyone enjoyed it The Notorious PIG was interestinga hot dog with jalapeufos horseradish mac and cheese and bacon Really tasty Other great hits were the edamame so addicting and roasted garlic shrimp dip your bread ALL UP IN that lemongarlicy goodness nnPrices are not bad I think the cocktails might have been around the ribeye I think was the hotdog was I believe around sorry lots of this is by memory lol but yeahthe prices are not crazynnDefinitely going to give this place a try again
