One of the oldest and most popular Mexican restaurants in town, Mijares is the place to be on the weekends. So unless you enjoy crowds, I recommend going during the work week instead. Food is good and the drinks are better, plus the wandering mariachi band is fun - but they are a weekend attraction only. Happy hour is good too. Wish they would do away with the photo and flower vendors - the only reason I gave four stars versus five.

Great for large groups, with three or four separate spaces to accommodate your group.

Hidden gem of a Mexican restaurant in Pasadena. Huge restaurant in a nondescript location. All the classic, Mexican favorites and great buffet lunch and weekend brunch.

Fun atmosphere, good food and great for parties and kids!

Since I moved to Pasadena a few weeks ago I made finding a good, local Mexican spot a primary goal. Mexican food is my comfort food and Mijares fits the bill! I really like the food and the ambience of this place. My first time, I ordered a combination plate with chile relleno, chicken taco and cheese enchilada. It was all super-fresh and very tasty. I particularly loved the chicken taco. It was packed with well-seasoned meat and it wasn't greasy at all. The drink menu is also pretty good in that they have a lot of wine options which is perfect for me since I don't drink hard alcohol. Service was friendly and they seemed on their game. Looking forward to going back!

Best Mexican restaurant in southern california. Over 90 years old, Absolutely great.
