MIJITA is a Latin American-inspired restaurant and bar at 17 Joll Road, Havelock North. The name is a Spanish endearment meaning darling or sweetie. The menu is tapas-style, with dishes designed for sharing, and the bar runs a cocktail programme built around regional classics from Cuba and Chile, with house variations on the mojito, margarita and pisco sour.
It opens from 4pm until late, six days a week, and is closed on Tuesdays. The website has a reservations section, though it does not set out group booking policies or capacity.
The shared-plate format and cocktail focus suit an evening out with colleagues or a relaxed group dinner. Groups wanting a larger booking or private arrangements should contact the venue directly to confirm what is possible.
