Destination? Modern Mixture Too, Restaurant, Review, Milton, Delaware, Nuevo Latino, Latin Cuisine, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware
The height of the season and summer traffic can be a hair raising experience at the Delaware Beaches. Finding parking is frustrating.
I thought about Milton, Delaware….just up the road from the Delaware Beaches. This historic town was incorporated in 1807. Milton is situated at the head of the Broadkill River. It was settled in the 1600s, and it was named for the English poet John Milton. It has 198 homes on its National Register of Historic Places. Some of Milton’s homes range from one room dwellings to Victorian mansions; including the residences of 5 former governors.
The town prospered through shipping, shipbuilding and agriculture, which was supported by its inland port.
Last week my friend Cindi, who lives in Milton, and I decided to try the new Modern Mixture Too. Modern Mixture’s sister restaurant in Downtown Rehoboth Beach has been a total success bringing new ways to cooking healthy Latin Cuisine, but keeping the essence of the Latin Cooking…plenty of flavors.
It takes no time to drive to Modern Mixture Too, located at 102 Federal Street, Milton, Delaware. Tel.302-664-1228. Milton is small and that small town atmosphere is what attracted me to meet my friend. Having grown up in a small town I understand and enjoy the quietness that late afternoon and early evenings bring to these small towns.
It was so nice to be able to sit outside, enjoying homemade Sangria, nachos and a cool summer night.
Inside Modern Mixture Too offers plenty of seating with comfortable booths and bar.
This is the friendly staff that will be taking care of you in English or Spanish.
One of my favorites are the tamales prepared in-house. On that particular day they had just finished vegetable tamales. So, Cindi and I had those for appetizers. Starting our evening with a little heat is always good. Tamales are amazig when they are freshly made.
Cindi decided on the Alambre Argentino which had grilled carne asada, bacon, chorizo, red onions, bell pepeprs, topped with Chihuahua cheese and gaucho chimichurri. It was served with rice, black beans, tortillas and guacamole.
Mine was the Veggie Alambre, which was full of vegetables but no meat. It had just the right amount of spices and it really was so good. Thanks for the recommendation!!
Even though we were tempted with desserts….and believe me they have very good ones, Cindi and I decided that we were completely satisfied.
An order to go of the Alambre Argentino was also very well received in my household.
The prices are reasonable, the food is delicious, served with plenty of free smiles.
Cheers!! Gracias Amigos.
