We ordered two carne asada taco platters and pork tamale platter. The portions were generous, they did not scale back on the meat! We were very pleased with the amount of filling in both tamales and tacos. Rice and beans were also great. The red & green sauces/salsas were DELICIOUS. Red brought a lot of spice/heat, and the green brought a nice milder/medium heat. Both had excellent flavor. Chips and salsa were also very good. The atmosphere was very relaxed as well which is great for my toddlers. They loved the background music! We didn't get a picture of our food as we were just so stinking hungry, but I snatched a to go menu to share because I noticed yelp didn't have any of that info yet!

To preface this review, we are from southern CA and know/love our Mexican food. The four-stars is…read morerelative to a high bar. In terms of options in the area, Mimi's is definitely a great choice. First and foremost, the food is prepared for scratch. You can taste the difference in sauces. Our entrees were piping hot (a bit of a wait as we came during a busy time; worth the wait). They were flavorful and well prepared. I am a chili relleno fan and am always reluctant to try them in new spots. This poblano filled with melted cheese was perfect. Just the right amount of gooiness, lightly crisp yet mostly soft pepper and a great sauce. The refried beans are clearly made in-house. Wonderful. My husband's quesadilla was bursting with flavor, yet it was also very greasy and the balance of flavors was not the best for our palette. Chorizo is difficult to work with as it is greasy. The staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive to the cleanliness of the dining room. We were also not big fans of the complimentary salsa and chips. Just Ok. We enjoyed the bright murals and room to spread out. Mini's must be a favorite for locals and a treat for guests. Do stop by.

I thought it was really awesome. Everything smelled so good in here. I had to come back later in the day to have lunch and I did. I had the Carnitas taco combo and it was most excellent. The meat was very juicy and flavorful and there was plenty of it for two tacos. I was definitely full after eating it.

If you're looking for something out of the ordinary or to compare with Traverse City restaurants…read more(as others have wisely noted), this is not your destination. If you're looking for a quick-no, I take that back (more on that in a minute), but large portion of food and a huge selection of beers and cheap cocktails (relatively speaking, compared to CA, $5 for a Guiness?...that's a deal, and $8 mixed drinks!) you can head here. I do have to give them the benefit of the doubt that the place seemed hugely understaffed, with an entire patio of probably nearly a dozen tables with only one server. But wait, she wasn't running the kitchen, so maybe they were understaffed back there? Anyway, while we were seated promptly and our beverages came out quickly, our food took a good 45 minutes. Really? Throw some chicken fingers in the fryer, some fries, some fish and chips? How hard is it? The place was busy, but not hopping. I don't know how it took that long but the only saving grace was that it was all hot and obviously hadn't been sitting at the pass under a heat lamp (or not) and freshly prepared, and the portions were HUGE. It was all tasty and in a this-is-salty-and-delicous-and-I-know-it's-not-good-for-me-but-I-want-to-keep-eating-it sort of way. Like really good fast food. Each of our dishes, the chicken fingers, the fish and chips, the fried chicken sandwich, were enough for two. Even if you're really hungry, any of these were probably a 1,000 calorie plus meal. I'm not here to give nutrition advice, but this was just an obscene amount of food for a single human being. Generous with the fries, generous with the protein. Again, the kind server who was scrambling just to keep up with clearing tables was obviously doing her best and was exceedingly apologetic about the wait time. So the two stars off are not for her, but for the average food quality and the lack of management as evidenced by the slow food service. If you're at your leisure, looking for some everyday American favorites with most of it probably coming off the back of a food service truck but still tasting pretty good, this is your spot. I would go back, but only when I know I have at least an hour, if not more, to dine and enjoy a beverage or two.
