    We go to Mimi's frequently. We have seen the on going decline in food and service. We went in mid morning on Sunday. Not too busy, yet we waited at the front podium for a few minutes before anyone even acknowledged us to be seated. We ordered eggs Benedict, omelette and a burger. Burger patty was burnt to a crisp. The waiter was courteous and had a good attitude but the service was extremely slow and inattentive. He would disappear and took forever to request anything. The place need's renovations Perhaps it time to look for alternative place.

    Made reservations on OpenTable, even though we really didn't need to. Our server was Stephany, she was just OK. I told her to make sure that she checked us in on OpenTable because I didn't want to get any emails from them that I didn't show up. She finally did. She sat us but then didn't come around for a little bit. I had coffee which was quite good and I was treating our friends so one of them had cafe at lait. One of the guys had the bacon, avocado omelette, and the other one had farmhouse tacos. My girlfriend and I shared farmhouse tacos, along with avocado. They were made with bacon and I wish they would've had Carnitas. My girlfriend also got one of her favorite muffins and I think she ate the whole thing. We sat near the front, the place was clean.

    Still a good spot. This nostalgic place was a staple for me over 20 years ago, and went back for the first time after a long break. It's still a good place for some good old comfort food. The service was great and accommodating. The food overall is good, comforting, and satisfying.

I'd found this restaurant on Yelp and convinced the others to join me in checking it out. It's a relaxed spot where you order at the register, receive a number, and then find your own seat. I usually feel rushed making menu choices when there's a line behind me, but this time, we were the only ones waiting, and the kids quickly decided on their breakfasts. Finding a table for four was effortless. The cashier was neutral--neither especially friendly nor rude, simply efficient at her job. My man really enjoyed his coffee, and I liked mine too, though I can't quite remember which kind of latte I ordered. We shared a Salmon Eggs Benedict--a perfect combination of poached egg, creamy hollandaise, and smoked lox. Delicious! My daughter ordered the kids' pancake with egg and bacon and said it was good. My partner's daughter opted for a huge breakfast burrito with chorizo--she liked it, but couldn't finish the generous portion. It was the perfect way to enjoy our final breakfast in Irvine.

    My bf and I came at 10 on a Saturday and didn't have to wait long. Ordering was a bit chaotic…read morethough since you need to order before getting seated. We felt rushed to make a decision but appreciated that they at least controlled the line to ensure there was a seat ready before letting us in to order - just wish they made it more clear somewhere. Plenty of parking, decent service although busy, would be back to try more of their options. This time around we ordered: - Breakfast Burrito (4/5): huge portion for price, loved the flavors and how cheesy this was; wish the salsa did a better job at adding spice and cutting through the heaviness of the dish but the pico de Gallo in the burrito helped with that - Fried chicken sandwich (4/5): Pretty sizable and filling sandwich. Chicken is fried well and juicy. While there was slaw in the sandwich to add some extra tang it should have been complemented with a sauce to make it a little less dry. Got this with fruit on the side which helped balance out the sandwich.

We settled into the lively chaos...espresso machines hissing, gorgeous plates flying past, everyone around us looking happy. The kids demolished the Garlic Noodles (always a safe bet right?), while my hubby happily worked through the Xôi Mặn with sticky rice, with the Chinese sausage, quail egg, and all the savory goodness packed into one bowl. Then my Beef Belly Rice Bowl arrived and I actually forgot there were three other people sitting at the table. The lemongrass beef belly was smoky and tender, the fried egg melted into the rice, and the nuoc chấm tied everything together with that perfect sweet-salty-tangy magic. Then came dessert...and this is where things got dangerous. The Mango Sticky Rice with pandan sticky rice and salted black sesame was PHENOMENAL. Creamy, fragrant, tropical--like a vacation wrapped in coconut sauce. But then the Sweet Custard Sticky Rice showed up with even more pandan coconut sauce and completely stole the spotlight. I looked at Jordan after the first bite with the kind of expression that says, "We're canceling our afternoon plans because I need a moment." My only complaint? My stomach surrendered long before my curiosity did. There were at least five more dishes I wanted to order, which means one thing: we'll just have to come back!!!

I loved the over easy eggs, and the fried chicken was really good. It was juicy, which is exactly how fried chicken should be. I think I would've enjoyed the pancakes more if the syrup had tasted better. It had a bit of an odd aftertaste that I wasn't a fan of, and it kind of took away from the overall dish. 6/10 Service - Initially I was like wow, these young guys serving were so kind and upbeat! Everyone seemed friendly and it made a great first impression. But as time went on, I wasn't very happy with the service I received. I asked 3 different people for a slice of lemon for my water and never got it. I also asked 2 different people for a little cup to pour my syrup into and never received that either. At that point I was getting pretty fed up, so I finally got up and went directly to someone. I told them I had been asking multiple people for both items and no one had brought them over. It was frustrating because these were such simple requests, and I shouldn't have had to get up and track someone down just to get what I needed. The staff was definitely friendly, but the follow through just wasn't there during my visit. Cost - $25.00

Today, we got frisco burger with fries along with horchata and carne asada nacho fries upgrade. Their menu consist of breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, dinner, Mexican, salads, sides, kids, and beverages. Frisco burger has a beef patty with bacon, lettuce, tomato, American cheese, and 1000 Island dressing, served on grilled Parmesan cheese bread. The burger was decent, it didn't quite blow me away. The ingredients were fresh, and the combination was enjoyable, but I felt it was missing a little something to make it truly memorable. If you're looking for a solid burger experience, it's worth a try, but it may not be my first choice for next time. the burger was decent, it didn't quite blow me away. I would rate the Frisco burger a solid 3 out of 5. It was decent, but I expected a bit more to make it truly stand out. My boyfriend would rate it a 4/5 since it was okay for him. French fries were crispy and well-cooked, with a nice golden-brown color. They had a satisfying crunch on the outside, while remaining fluffy on the inside. I would have appreciated some dipping sauces or seasoning options on the side to enhance them a bit more. I would give the French fries a 3/5. They were decent but didn't quite wow me. Horchata was refreshing and creamy, with a lovely balance of sweetness and cinnamon spice. The texture was smooth, providing a comforting drink that complemented my meal well. I would rate the horchata a 4/5 since I have to mix mine to get the horchata flavor. Carne asada nacho fries were crispy and golden, providing the perfect foundation for all the amazing toppings. Generously layered with tender, seasoned carne asada, each bite was a wonderful blend of savory beef and crunchy fries. The melted cheese added a rich creaminess that brought everything together, while the pico de gallo contributed a refreshing burst of flavor. I love the chop chilies personally. The finishing touches of guacamole and sour cream added just the right amount of creaminess and zest. This is absolutely my favorite meal. My boyfriend and I would rate the carne asada nacho fries a perfect 5/5--an outstanding fusion of flavors and textures. The service was fast & employee is very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. There is plenty of parking. I'm only giving it a 4 because of the burger. I would definitely come back here to try their other food alternatives.
