Mijares Mexican Restaurant - Pasadena (CA)

4 /5 Deb Garza: Mijares Mexican Restaurant – Comfort Food & Great Service Stopped in at Mijares Mexican Restaurant and went for the classic: cheese enchiladas. They were tasty, not spicy (a relief for those of us who think “mild salsa” is already walking on the wild side), and came as a generous portion with rice and beans. Definitely filling and satisfying. One of my friends is vegetarian and had some special requests. Even though what she wanted wasn’t technically on the menu, our waitress went above and beyond to help her put together exactly the dish she was craving. That kind of flexibility and friendliness makes a huge difference. Overall, the service was excellent, the food was solid, and it’s a place I’d happily return to for a comforting, no-fuss meal.

3 /5 David Crow: Enjoyed the historic and traditional value of the decor and ambiance. The menu seemed busy and chaotic to a first timer. Lots to look over. Food wasn’t terrible but the quality was off for the price point. In addition their frozen margs were pretty awful and awfully expensive at $15/each. Basically all sugary and frothy. Avoid those if possible.

5 /5 K: I was heading to another bar and wanted to try this place out first. I drank some beers, ate some complementary salsa (the chips were really good!), and watched some sports. The place was pretty packed; the private room was occupied. The service was great. They were efficient even when it was a packed house. They have a good size parking lot. You can park in the neighborhood for free also.

5 /5 Tomas Cortijo: Traditional Mexican reataurant with a great food selection. I love that they have a large patio seating area, great to just get appetizers and margaritas, or to have a relaxing lunch with friends. I loved their rib eye steak and their flautas.
