Mixela

Mixela is a small plates and wine restaurant in Phoenix with an international flair. The chef, Gian Franco, is from Venezuela and his wife Valentina is from Mexico. We learn how the two met in Monaco years ago. Now the couple's created a neighborhood bar and restaurant for people to come and hang and share small bites. On the menu, you’ll find sushi, meatballs, empanadas, cheeseboards, and much more. Hear how the Gian Franco and Valentina have navigated the ever changing restaurant business, from food trucks, to pasta making, to fresh fish flown in from Japan.
