Perfectly average Mexican food – The margaritas are strong and the food unmemorable, which seems to be a pretty common combination in LA. That's not to say that the food is bad. It's perfectly ordinary, unobjectionable Mexican food -- the kind you can get at dozens of other similar sombrero and maraca-festooned restaurants. Keep your expectations low and you'll be pleasantly surprised by Mijares.

My favorite place for casual dining – My family has been coming to Mijares for over 35 years and never gets tired of it. Pasadenans know it is a great place to come with children are young, for large groups, for diner on the patio. Love the George's Special margarita - really smooth. I always have Nachos Especial or Taco Salad. Salsa is always fresh. Staff is friendly and service is good.

Had an awful time here! – If it wasn't for my dining companions I would've left this restaurant before we sat down and ate somewhere else. I couldn't believe how rude both of the hostesses were. It got me so mad how we were treated I lost my appetite. Our waiter wasn't very attentive. I always get dragged here. I refuse to go back with my friends! Frankly I would rather stay home, eat a bland TV dinner and watch bad infomercials than go back!

Great Tortilla Soup and Outdoor Dining – This place has wonderful Tortilla Soup and the outdoor patio can't be beat. It's a great local place. The other dishes are pretty basic Mexican, not that there is anything wrong with that. If you're looking for nouveau, California-Mex than this isn't the place to find it, but there's plenty of other dishes to check out. Good vegetarian selection too.

Mijares is so good. I always get one of their salads when I go there and they have the best chips and salsa in town.

The margaritas are good, the buffet is ok. Great if you don't have a lot of time.

Great Tortilla Soup – I highly recommend trying their Tortilla soup. It is mildly spicy and chock full of goodness... chucks of fresh chicken, avocado, chucks of some kind of tasty Mexican cheese and lots of fresh vegetables. A bowl of this is practically a meal. Good for those cold nights.
