We went recently for our 31st anniversary and had to hunt down the hostess to be seated after waiting in the lobby for over 5 min. Over 20 min before we were asked what we wanted to eat and the restaurant wasn't that busy, my mashed potatoes tasted off so I left them.They overcharged us for my happy hour drink although they fixed it when I brought to their attn this unfortunately will be a one and done saddened as this experience wasn't what we expected. read more

Sunday Buffet 25$ 10-3pm Slow waiters. Oh it took awhile to get a drink until one of the other workers that wasn't on there phones seen that I needed a drink. Quick with water refills if you're by the west side where there kitchen is situated. Told to wait for waiter for omelet couldn't explain what the other side of the taco station was for... lack of explanation of what I could get at the station later during my visit I heard there were toppings.my waiter walked straight past me playing on her phone. I think that it's a chilaquiles station Out of the three taco meats chicken carne asada and chorizo I think the carne asada was the most flavorful. The chicken was extremely bland compared to even what I could whip up at home. The chorizo was ok it has a naturally salty taste which made it taste better to me after having the chicken. The buffet stand is also on the west side so there's less options then I though but they have chicken fajitas so I go there much more flavored. Got two servings of potato most of them are hard not fluffy and really enjoyable. There were pancakes and waffles but they appear to have been sitting on their stand for a long time so those aren't appealing. By the taco and I don't even know what the other stand is since there's another lady who's on her phone she told me to ask waiter for omelet waiter never came to see if I needed anything. Occupancy of this restaurant is a bit more than a quarter full after 1pm which is when I came...So there's no excuse. Manager came by and said it was an oversight that normally doesn't happen. Too full by the time she came by so unfortunately no room for omelet Seafood cost extra not included in buffet. If you're looking for a quieter area inside this restaurant avoid the corners they have speakers that'll drown out your voices and the waiters voice. So this Sunday is the third time they hosted this buffet. On the desert stand they had fruit salad some fresh fruit different salsa and onions and cilantro for tacos. Have flan and they used to have some sort of dessert bread didn't see it on my visit. Now thinking about it they gave me plain tacos and didn't offer toppings at the taco station. So 2 stars read more

Finally, I have found a restaurant worthy of 5 stars. My friends and I ordered many different dishes and all were outstanding. From the fresh oysters on the shell to the skirt steak to the honey glazed salmon and more, it was delicious satisfaction for all. Staff was eager and happy to serve us. Everything, including the bathrooms, was sparkling clean. I can't wait to return and feel confident Ay Mi Pa will exceed your expectations. Treat yourself to a world-class restaurant and come hungry because this place has what you have been searching for. read more

The food is amazing our service VICTOR amazing guy good chill vibe in here. Food does take a little time but it's 100% worth it

Alcohol is good and I have a good time here with friends on a Saturday night, but the times I've been for dinner or brunch or just wanted to try the food, wasn't worth the overpriced food they serve here, and the service is lacking. One night I came with friends and asked our server for an update on our drinks since it had been over 30 mins, she asked me to go with her to the bar to verify to their bartender that we didn't receive our drinks since they didn't believe that we have not receive it. I wish staff had better communication with each other and I felt so bad for her. It's hard to get someone to help us and when I went back again for brunch the items were lacking in flavor and the mimosas weren't good :/ read more

I'm sharing this because, unfortunately, it was a really disappointing experience. We were excited to try this restaurant, but things went downhill quickly. It took 20 minutes just to receive our drinks, which I understand can happen in busy restaurants, but it was still frustrating and not really that busy at all. Our server barely interacted with us, and when he did, his attitude was curt and condescending. At one point, he overheard me mentioning to my family that 25 minutes seemed a bit long for drinks, and he made a couple snide remarks after, which I ignored and still tried to be nice. The food was also underwhelming. The oysters had a strong fishy taste and didn't appear to be grilled properly (we ordered the grilled and I have had raw plenty of times, these were just off) though the presentation was nice. My dad's steak was significantly overcooked, and my shrimp was nearly raw--something I didn't even complain about because that's just not my nature. He finally came out and just dropped off 3 sauces, salt, and limes and did not even explain what it was for or what they are, as a person with allergies I have to be careful. What really sealed the negative experience for me was the bathroom. Not only was there no toilet paper in the dispensers (which I get happens sometimes), but there was a fresh roll sitting on the restroom floor as the only form of toilet paper to use. I don't need to explain how concerning that is in terms of hygiene and health codes. I truly wanted to enjoy this place, but for a bill over $100 not including the tip we still gave, I left feeling very disappointed. I am totally not one to complain unless it's bad bad bad but this was. read more

Service wasn't great. We stood there for 10 until my son walked in to find someone. But food... oh my! Food was Delicious!

Today was my first time dining in at Ay Mi Pa. The food was incredibly delicious, the service was on point (Thanks to Erick), and the way it looks inside; -its very stunning, clean, and the music was amazing. The drinks and alcohol drinks were really good! I want to give a special thanks to the manager Elizabeth (Liz) for coming up to my family and myself by introducing herself and asking us if our food and drinks were good. Also giving my son a free ice cream. Tomorrow (June 3rd) is my birthday and I was surprised with a cake, a birthday banner, Liz and her staff sang happy birthday. What an incredible evening at Ay Mi Pa. Muchísimas gracias read more

Nice atmosphere. However, upon immediate arrival, I noticed a sign as soon as you walk in stating a 3% surcharge will be added to your bill due to inflation. I personally, find it absurd a restaurant establishment would do this with prices already inflated for what you get. This is hardly a Michelin stared restaurant as it is. I was pleased though with the quality of the food. It was absolutely delicious. And service was on par as well. I would definetly revisit despite the 3% surcharge. But take down the sign. It makes you appear cheap and desperate. read more

Service was mid the waitress checked in but kept forgetting condiments, food was good nothing special, went around 12 in the afternoon so no dj plus it was basically empty.

Went to Brunch on Sunday and was impressed by the Spread. This is a buffet style brunch that had mix of good dining options. From Light options to hearty plates that you can choose from. Champagne was flowing and the servers make sure to keep it "Bottomless". Seating was a breeze as soon as we arrived with a 5 min wait. As the brunch continued on and got busier that wait seemed to get a little longer, but as expected seating was moving along. Vibe is good with music and DJ Playing in the background . Good People watching or a place to celebrate a special occasion to celebrate. Planning on coming back for a Pre-Gaming Dinner before a night out or before hitting the Bars. Location can get busy with parking in front but being at the "Mall", Sunday shoppers are expected but not a deal breaker. read more

Second time at this place in the same year, great service, had our reservation on time and our table was ready as well. Nice and clean with very good service just like the first time. Many bad reviews but just remember to go yourself and find out for yourself first! Food was served quick and was nice and hot! Very good food and great service. Come check it out ! read more

Came in just after noon and the place was empty. Took a minute for someone to come to the hostess desk. It was very hot as they left the door to the outside open on a 100+ degree day. We sat at the bar. There was no one there for the longest time. The bar was dirty and hadn't been cleaned from the night before based on all the water marks where the bartender works place drinks for the serving staff. Finally got the bartender, but she wasn't very friendly. She brought out water While we looked at menus and they were both dirty. The inside had old fruit like they hadn't been properly washed. We took it as another sign and left. read more

Sorry I can't bring myself to eat anywhere that I have to pry my shoes off the floor with each step because the floors so sticky. Not acceptable for a run down McDonalds ... Definitely not acceptable for a "high end" Mexican restaurant. Place was empty but was told it was a 20 minute wait for a table. read more

I purchased a VIP "section" for $450 for an event on 11/22/25. My section ended up being a table in the middle of the restaurant, not the intimate private area that one would expect when purchasing a VIP section at a club. It definitely killed the vibe. Other than that, the drinks were good and the vibe was nice, but most of my part left within the first 45 minutes of being there simply because the VIP section was not up to par. I do want to add that our server, Eric, was amazing and definitely saved the night. read more

Had the Gobernador tacos and they sucked so bad... they didn't really have flavor ): and i was expecting the salsa to help with the flavor but it was just spicy w no flavor. the drinks were yummy but they were pretty overpriced tbh, i would recommend going somewhere else in my opinion. read more

I went with my husband and Johnny the bartender is well mannered and knows his drinks! He also recommended the oysters and the sauce that goes with it is phenomenal! We went early and the ambience was enough for our taste to enjoy both our drinks and food experience. We have come back more than once just to have the same experience with what we consider our favorite bartender here at Ay Mi Pa! Thanks Johnny! read more

My food was amazing and the drinks were great too also our server Victor was great!! 5 star!! He was polite and attentive and took care of everything!!!! He made us say we would definitely come back!!! read more

I'm convinced Mexican restaurants don't know how to cook steak!! I ordered the Rib Eye dinner medium rare but it was tough and overcooked, we also ordered the Enchilada plate that comes with rice and beans, and the rice tasted old or microwaved, I mean it was "crunchy" so not completely edible. The service was not good, we waited a long time to be served and we had to constantly remind the waiter to bring refills, napkins and items the rest of the table had ordered. There was music playing in the background maybe a little too loud because we felt like we were yelling when trying to communicate with one another, so it didn't feel like a comfortable setting. I'm glad I experienced this place but I will not be going back for seconds!! read more

Everything was amazing. The restaurant is beautiful and all of the food was so so good! Everyone working was so nice and the service had great timing. The manager was even walking around checking on the tables too. The ambiance was relaxing and they played good music. Baseball was on one of the big TVs as well. We will definitely be coming back. read more

food is good but it took them until after we got our meals to get just water (so around 45 min). its a better bar than a restaurant

Both the drinks and food are good from here, Jonathan is a great bartender, would 10/10 recommend asking for him at the bar!

Let's be honest this is a club after 10ish!! AND THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. But before the party scene The food is hands down amazing! I recommend the aguachiles steak it is so good it's a must try every time. Want to head to a place that seems out of Bakersfield I would say go here it mentally transport you to TULUM! Service sometimes can be slow but it's because they're busy with drinks. 10/10 come with family, friends, and your partner! (Only bad thing I say is the restroom us girls like full body mirrors and cute area for restroom pics this one isn't really it) read more

Came here specifically for the oysters and they were out on a Saturday afternoon. Not sure how your restaurant isn't fully stocked on what I assume would be your busiest night of the week. Then we got our ribeye after asking for rare and it came out well done so we sent it back and now heading to another place for our early dinner. Won't be back. It seems they are more focused on being a party spot than an actual place to eat. read more

The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. I love it! The service was top tier -- Victor was incredible! The food was amazing! The cocktails were delicious. I'm definitely going to return! read more

This place was amazing, with a nice venue. Our waiter was attentive, kind and very friendly. I ordered the vegetarian tacos and I was impressed. It had this creamy chili sauce that was so delicious and not too spicy. It is served with rice and beans. Beans had a different look and flavor to it. Almost as if they were refried with red chili. Everything was perfect! Prices are a bit pricey, however it's worth it. I definitely recommend this place. read more

I recently visited At Mi Pa, a Hispanic steakhouse, and my experience was overall average. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts: **Pros:** - The food tasted decent and the portions were generous. The flavor was pretty darn good. - Our food arrived quickly, which was a plus. - The ambiance and decorations were well done, creating a nice vibe for dinner. **Cons:** - Unfortunately, the food was barely warm when it got to our table. - The $18+ alcoholic drinks were inconsistent in quality, which was disappointing for the price. - An 18% gratuity was automatically added, which seemed odd for a party of just four people. - Midway through dinner, the restaurant turned into a bar/nightclub, complete with loud music. It became difficult to have a conversation. I guess this is the vibe they are going for though so can't really knock on it. - The indoor environment was interesting as people were clearly vaping and even sparking up weed. Odd for a restaurant but common for nightclubs - They charge a 3% "inflation surcharge," despite already high prices. This felt unnecessary and like a money grab. Our total bill for four people came to $290, which felt steep given the experience. We all ordered basic items (tacos, enchiladas) but had two alcoholic drinks each which I guess really pushed the bill up to that high. Overall, At Mi Pa has potential with its ambiance and decent food. Just got to figure out what kind of dinner you want. Would I go back? Probably only for food, drinks aren't worth it and it would have to be an early dinner to beat the nightclub crowd. read more

Food was full of flavor. So much flavor, it had no idea what kind to choose from. Sweet sauce on food normally meant to taste creamy. Portion size was good for today's market. The vibe was NYC meets PCP. it's like you want us to shout the name of the club.....I mean bar....i mean what ever this is. Service was awful, server checked on us once in an hour. Food took almost 45 minutes with only 10 total people in the restaurant (including staff). I made sure to say no sour cream on top of the food for my kid....sure enough comes with cream. I get it, it's cool not to write things down but it really helps. A Mexican experience is something you won't get here. I'd stay away read more
