The temperature-density phase diagram of a model binary mixture in two dimensions is investigated using a semi-grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulation scheme which allows for exchange between the two species while keeping the total number of atoms fixed. The gas-liquid and the gas-solid regions of the phase diagram are mapped out using the efficient block analysis method incorporating finite-size scaling of the various coexisting densities. An ordered square lattice structure is seen to be stable at low temperatures. Interesting short-range ordering phenomena resulting in a ``disorder line'' in the fluid phase are also analyzed and compared with results from liquid-state integral equation theories.
