Using mysqlWorkbench...
In schemas section:
1. Right clic on "tables"
2. Clic "Table data import wizzard"
3. Select your cvs file. Clic next.
Here it changes according to what you want.

Importing to a complete new table (easiest):
4. Select root schema and table name. Hit next.
5. Select encoding, and map out the detected columns with their corresponding
field types. 

Importing to an existing table. (same procedure until point 3, then):
4. Select option "Use existing table" and select the target table from the dropdown. Hit next.
5. Select encoding, and match the source columns with their corresponding destiny columns. Hit next.

6. A resume will apear: "the following tasks will be performed...", hit next.
(you can activate "show logs" to see whats happening).
7. If everything when ok, a log will apear and it will let you close the wizard
by hitting a Finish button.

IMPORTANT: Mysql workbench is very slow for importing. There will be no problems
if the cvs file is small but if you want to import huge amounts of rows,
consider importing via command line using the "load data local infile" 
command from mysql.
For reference, i tried importing 1M rows, and took 30 minutes to import only 220k.
while command line took around 10 seconds to import the full 1M rows.

Connect to your database.
Right-click on the database and select Table Data Import Wizard.
Select your CSV file.
Select an existing table or enter a name for a new table.
Configure the import settings (data types, line separator, etc).
Finish the process.
