Editorial Review for Mijares Mexican Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
From the neon Corona sign to the bulk-quantity chips and salsa, Mijares looks like the set of some 1970s Univision movie and represents the quintessential SoCal taqueria. There's nothing fancy here, and that's the point. Happy hour is the main draw, and lasts from 4pm to 7pm, Monday through Thursday. Dishes full of complimentary chicken wings, nachos and little burritos keep packing in the crowds.

I ate there and ordered the steak fajitas. I have eaten many fajitas at many other establishments and this one at Mijares by far is the smallest and most expensive one I have ever had. After I ate it I was still hungry and went to In-n-Out to eat. I will never go back to Mijares. I would rather go to El Torito or even Chipotle for that matter.

Pros: I just don't know

Cons: There are far better Mexican establishments out there.

The things I like about Mijares include their margaritas, their friendly staff, and the patios. I've dined here for dinner with my husband...had cocktails with a small group of friends, and enjoyed large family functions. I've also had good takeout...since it's right next door to a jewelry studio where I take classes on Saturdays. Their food is always consistently good...their drinks always consistently excellent. The staff here is more than friendly, and always accommodating. Take note that A LOT of people know this...and they ALL come here. It's difficult to find parking...unless you get their VERY early or are absolutely lucky to catch someone pulling out of a parking spot. Even with that drawback...I say give it a try. Visit Mijares and enjoy a margarita for me.

Pros: great service

Cons: parking can be scarce
