Mojitos maestra Kelli with two of her creations at the bar in Mojitos restaurant in Old Pasadena: Worth the visit.

The latest “You have to try this!” are the minty mojitos served up at restaurant Mojitos, heir to Xiomara on Raymond Ave.’s “restaurant row” in Old Pasadena. Hemingway himself might be impressed with Mojitos’ exclusive recipe – and its inventiveness at introducing a range of delicious fruited mojitos: mango, pineapple, orange, blueberry, raspberry, ginger, and coconut. (Best bet: the Mango – ¡fantastico! ) Mojitos is clearly not Havana’s La Bodeguita del Medio. Phil and Carmen Castaneda have created décor, service, and Cuban-influenced food which are definitely worth a visit.

Stay tuned for our exclusive review coming Monday.

Mojitos, 69 N. Raymond Ave, Pasadena. (626) 796-2520.
