    Raw meat.

    This place went downhill from when I was there last a few years ago. Thought I'd stop in for steak n eggs. I was upsold to the ribeye. I don't care what the waitress says it was not a ribeye and the potatoes, I have no idea what those were. Oh and it was close to $30 for the steak n eggs, add 1 Late and 1 OJ and I was at $50.

    High prices, small portions and mediocre Luke warm food. They've cracked the recipe for going out of business. The young lady who waited on us was very nice and the place was clean. The parking lot was empty and will likely stay that way until this becomes a Mexican restaurant.

    3/15/2024: Took a friend's Father here for a meal; he rarely goes out eating at restaurants anywhere . . . Therefore, I gave the excuse taking him to Mimi's due to failing celebrating his birthday, i.e., a belated birthday celebration. Nevertheless, the Father argued with me explaining he should pay the bill; however, when he went to the restroom, I paid the restaurant bill which utterly infuriated him~lol! Despite the argument we had, the Father thoroughly enjoyed his Mimi's meal!

    Delicious food and excellent service. That's why we love Mimi's. Today was a mix of breakfast and lunch. All the food especially the pan Perdue and carrot madeleines were yummy Our server was quick, friendly, and efficient.

    Huevos rancheros

    Ordered the "huevos rancheros" and all I asked for was no onion. Unfortunately the two tortillas they used for the meal were so stale. Could not chew them but ate everything off of them but couldn't eat the tortilla shell. The little potato cake thing was full of onions. Used to enjoy Mimi's a lot but food quality has gone down substantially.

    The food was delicious, the service was terrific, and the location and parking were fantastic. Shout out to Kamila for excellent customer service.

There was plenty of seating on the shady patio, but it was really hot outside, so we opted to wait for a table inside. We had a drink and watched the NBA finals on the TVs (there was no sound so it wasn't noisy). I tried the Mustang Sally cocktail and it was well balanced and delicious! We were seated for dinner pretty quickly. The only problem I had was deciding what to order. The luau shrimp salad? Meatball sub? I finally decided on the lobster mac and cheese. While the portion wasn't large, it was delicious! Creamy and mild with fresh lobster (not fishy) and garlicy breadcrumbs. My husband got the ribeye and was thin but large with great seasoning and veggies. I'm not a big steak fan but I really liked it. We ended up grabbing some beignets to go for the kids, which were really tasty and came with 3 dipping sauces (our favorite was the Berry, although we ended up eating most of them without sauce). The atmosphere was upscale, but very casual, quiet and fun. We saw families with young children, couples on dates, and friends enjoying a meal together. It was the perfect vibe that we were looking for, comfortable, but classy. And the food was high-quality and tasty. We will definitely be back!

Upon entering, the hostess with the brown curly hair was noticeably rude and unwelcoming, which isn't the first impression you'd hope for when celebrating a special occasion. The food, however, was outstanding and was definitely the highlight of the evening. Every dish we ordered was well-prepared and delicious. Service was a mixed experience. While our server was polite, the service was quite slow throughout the meal, despite the restaurant being fairly empty at the time. Overall, the excellent food helped make up for some of the service issues, but the rude greeting and slow service took away from what should have been a memorable anniversary dinner. I hope management addresses these concerns, as the kitchen is clearly doing a great job.

    My husband and I were recommended this place by a friend who said it has the best tacos he's had…read moresince living in SoCal, and we absolutely agree. The food is SO good with everything made in-house and a clear passion is there with the quality and flavors. My husband had the "roadkill" burrito (pork belly with cheese and other yummy stuff) and I had the pork belly, Nashville hot, and quesabirria tacos along with their dulce de leche churros and vanilla bean gelato. Oh, and you start out with chips and 4 types of really good salsa. It was hard to pick out favorites, but we decided the peanut chipotle and roasted carrot habanero were goated; the other two were also also excellent, but can't help favorites. I'm terribly full and happy and can't wait to go back. The service was excellent, also. Presuming the name on the receipt was for the main person who chatted with us, Erik was funny and ended up being helpful with a side passion my husband's tackling (middle aged men and their love of smoking meat, amirite?). Jokes aside, everyone who works there was super chill and clearly stands by the food they serve. Thought it's not exactly SoCal, I grew up with Mexican friends in Bakersfield, all being either first-gen Americans or immigrants themselves, and had some of the best food ever while attending quinces or house parties, and it's been a long time since I've had deliciously authentic food like this. Also, totally unrelated to food but I like their bathroom setup. Their entire interior was super clean and cozy, but I appreciate when places don't have the odd typical American stalls where you can make eye contact through the gaps in the doors.

    We have been here a couple of times now, once with our parents and the other time with friends…read more Interestingly enough, my husband said he thought the portions. Have gotten smaller since the last time we came. I will say that I'm realizing the taco size is a bit on the small side. To really get full (especially for those who let's say didn't have a big lunch) it would be good to get 2-4 tacos for dinner. We have only tired tacos here from the Quesabirria to the octopus, roadkill to the cauliflower, and the al pastor and some other ones. So far they were tasty, some more salty than the others. I would say one of my favorite items is the elote, I recommend getting the whole corn that looks charred vs the bowl. The bowl doesn't do it justice and tastes like your eating corn from a can; there's no charred pieces. The chicharronnes appetizer was a good touch it tasted fresh and hot. The cucumber pineapple agua Fresca was also good, try it with Tajin on the cup. We had churro with ice cream for my mom-in-law's bday and wish they had other fun dessert options to share. One critique about our server was that he was not as attentive to our request: I called beforehand to let them know about the birthday and when we were done eating he hands us the check. So I had to go and talk with him; even after that he comes back with the plates for dessert which ended up no longer being a surprise which we had initially wanted it to be. And they also do NOT sing happy birthday here which is a bummer, but nonetheless we sang for our mom. Would we come here again, maybe but we may check out the Roseville location.

It's a very nice place, nothing fancy, the people were very friendly They had a very large menu of all kinds of different items, I decided to go for a bento. The spicier items on the menu have a listing next to the item ranging from one to three peppers. I decided to try the honey chicken. It had one pepper next to it on the menu. I asked my server how spicy it was, and he said not very spicy. He was right. It was a wonderful barbecue chicken, the chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The honey gave it just a little bit of a sweet, without overpowering it. The sauce that came on the side with the chicken, I put a little bit on top, and it really added to the flavor. It had just a tiny bit of a "kick" to it, well within what I like for spicy. The sweet of the honey sauce, and the spicy played absolutely wonderful together. The rice was nice and tender. , I mixed some of it into the chicken, and it was a very nice bite. The veggies and the salad were very fresh, I'm not sure what the dressing was on the salad, but it was a bit creamy, and it was delicious. I had enough food left over for a second meal.

    So my wife and I decided to venture out and try something new instead of Door Dashing our food. So…read morewe drove to E Bidwell to try something new and we are so glad we did. The reason why I am giving this place a 5 Star is because from the time we walked into the Business until we left, its been a very great experience. We walked in and we were very warmly greeted and then we were then taken to our table where we sat down and from the time we sat down the ambiance was very nice and the decorations inside were just as beautiful. So after 5 minutes we got waited on and we were asked on what drinks we wanted and my wife and I ordered a Dr Pepper. Being that there was so much on the menu to order we kept asking our Waiter to please keep checking on us because we werent 100% sure as to what we wanted. Well after about 10 minutes we finally realized that we knew what we wanted to eat. We first started off with Appetizers and we ordered the Mushroom Bomb and Crab Wonton's. We put that order in and then about 5 minutes later the waiter came back and aksed what we wanted to eat. We both decided on getting the California Roll and The Rookie Sushi Roll. We both began talking and just enjoying the environment and let me tell you I have seen Restaurant Employees work as a team but the people at this place were completely in unison every time. You could tell that they all had camaraderie amongst them because they interacted very well with each other. The 2 people that I want to recognize because they both took great care of us was Seven and Bella. When Seven was off taking care of other guests, Bella would be right there working side by side making sure that the guests in their section were taken care of. The California Roll came out and so did The Rookie and let me tell you when I eat Sushi, I have to have my Soy Sauce and my Chopsticks, thats the only way to eat that. The California Roll was absolutely delicious and for the first time ever eating a Teriyaki Chicken Sushi Roll, was delicious as well. From the beginning to the end everything was wonderful. I'm so excited about this place that I am going to bring my "Lunch Group" here the next time we meet so they can enjoy Bento Box just as much as my wife and I did.
