Mi California is fabulous!!! First, the salsa presented with chips was soooo good. Not too spicy, a little salty to taste. I ordered a Lime Margarita and it was tasty tasty tasty - a little on the weak side, but perhaps that is why I wanted another - just tasty. For my entree, I ordered two fish tacos fried. DELICIOUS!!!!! The ambience is so inviting, so welcoming. I did not want to leave once settled in. A nice bar set up with two tv screens AND Karaoke beginning at 7pm. Mi California has a lot of everything to offer. The service was spot on, very attentive wait staff. GOING BACK!!!!! read more

Mi California - Horchata Martini - Mexican Near Me - Hawthorne, California

In my quest to support small business owners I stumbled upon this spot in Hawthorne. The staff are very friendly. They have good margaritas. The prices are right. I mean really what more can you ask in these times of shrinkflation. We ordered the caldo de rez, quesadilla, and enchiladas and like 4 margaritas. I'd definitely encourage people to give this spot a try. read more

What a great meal amazing flavors from start to finish. The service is absolutely incredible, warm, and attentive. The ambience is perfect: you can watch sports, enjoy a relaxed dinner, or just listen to good music and unwind. We're here tonight for a family dinner, and it's truly great for kids as well. What makes it even more special is that it's family-owned, and you can feel it everyone works together, and the hospitality is genuine. You don't just feel like a customer, you feel truly welcome. Highly recommend for families, friends, or anyone looking for great food and a great atmosphere. read more

The food and atmosphere is great. Location is good as well. Service was good with a lot of interaction with the staff.

Checked this place out on a quiet Wednesday evening. The place is spacious with a dining area and separated bar. Everything is super clean. First impression that everything is priced fairly, at about $17 per plate depending on Cadillac Margarita was delicious with the perfect kick. Beautiful presentation like something you'd see from a fine dining Mexican bar. My entree was a barbacoa taco (shredded beef) and chicken enchilada. The taco was crispy and the beef was tender. The enchilada wasn't as good as the taco but still solid. Tortillas seem house made. Light and fluffy. Super solid spot that I ended on coming back to often. 9.5/10 read more

My family enjoys this restaurant so I make it a point to stop in when I'm in town. I went here twice in a five day span. Their ceviche is excellent and the wait staff is super friendly. My only knock against them is the lack of nearby handicap parking. There's limited parking in front of the restaurant so it can be a walk. The restaurant can get quite busy at night as they have a DJ/karaoke set up that can get quite loud. read more

My son and I thought we would give this place a try. Fairly empty at lunch hour. Service was quick and friendly. Bar tender and waiter who made our horchata on the spot. Best I've ever had. !!! We will have to make this a weekly go to spot. We will be back. read more

I had a long day and went to this restaurant with 1 of my girlfriends and I'm so glad we looked on Yelp for a new spot because this was just what was needed after my exhausting day! The food is mouth watering thinking about it while typing this review! I got the chicken fajitas which were probably the best I've ever had. My friend got the ceviche and carne asada and she said it was on point as well. The service was great! The waitress was so hard working despite all her tables and the blasting fun music (people singing kareoke were amazing.) the margaritas were so flavorful and strong. I recommend the spicy mango and cucumber margaritas! I will definitely be coming back thank you so much! read more

Very racist establishment. Me being black they didn't want to serve me. I even handed them cash and they held it from me to act like they can't give me any change for my order. Then proceeded to not let me order any food. I even requested just a lemonade drink and they refused even though I gave them exact change if you're black you won't be served here. read more

Place is pretty big and clean. Friendly service with a smile. The food was really good. I was pleasantly surprised. I had the carne en su jugo and it was delicious. Our friends had the fajitas and the mole enchiladas, and they couldn't stop raving about them. I also had a cucumber pineapple marg. It was a bit sweet but really tasty. Karaoke was on fire. It's a ways away from where we live, but it may be worth the drive. read more

1st time visiting, I wish I could give this place a higher rating because the lady serving us was super nice; however, it's about the food. I ordered steak fajitas and my wife ordered fish and shrimp tacos. When our orders were brought, I was looking forward to tasting the fajitas since the plate was sizzling with a good smell. Unfortunately in my opinion the steak was bland on overcooked, very chewy. The bell peppers were undercooked and lacked flavor and it came with only two tortillas instead of three or four like most places. I also didn't care much for the beans because they were also bland. My wife said that the shrimp tacos were very tasty but the fish taco was bland. We were there on a weekend around noon and the place was empty. The lady was very attentive and friendly so I feel bad that I couldn't give this place a higher rating. read more

We stopped by Mi California! for dinner today and the food did not disappoint! I had the camarones a la diabla--perfectly spicy and full of flavor. My wife ordered a mix of enchiladas verdes and rojas, and she loved every bite. My son had the carne en su jugo, which was incredibly tasty and brought back memories of my mom's home cooking. Victor was running the bar and delivered top-notch service throughout our meal. Highly recommend checking this spot out--make sure to swing by and show them some love! read more

Great little spot... looks like it's family owned the services great and the food is awesome. I highly recommend. must try.

Delicious! We've been here twice. Once when it was changing hands and now again. I don't know why I can't find my original post but I'll leave another one. The bartender came out to help us with our to-go order and brought us not only chips and salsa but lemon water. There was karaoke (thankfully this group was entertaining) and we were happy to wait. The time it took meant it was being freshly prepared. We took home the Asada and Carnitas burritos and split them. The carnitas were a tiny bit dry but had fantastic flavor and so did the asada. I had asked for extra spicy carnitas and it was perfect for me. My bf struggled a bit lol. The salsa and chips were perfect and it all hit the spot. Already craving it again! read more

This place is excellent! It was surprisingly not busy on a Sunday afternoon. It started picking up a bit as we were leaving. We were in town for my oldest daughter's dance competition today and stopped here afterwards. We were greeted and seated immediately and very shortly thereafter we had complimentary chips and salsa delivered to our table. The chips were fresh and warm and the salsa was spicy and delicious! I ordered the taco plate with al pastor and it was wonderful! The al pastor had excellent flavor and the roja sauce was nice and spicy! The rice and beans hit the spot as well. My youngest got the birria tacos and she inhaled them saying they were delicious. My oldest got the beef taquitos plate and also loved them. Her boyfriend got the chicken enchiladas plate and said they were very good--the tomatillo sauce was a bit sweeter than he was expecting, but he enjoyed it. The place is clean and festive with music playing and it looks like they either have live music, a DJ and/or karaoke sometimes because I saw a sound booth and stage. I'd highly recommend this hidden gem. There's also a good amount of parking in the median lot just across the street. read more

Food and service are amazing, family owned and they treat you just like it! I tried the asada quesadillas and they were delicious.

I won't be coming back. This place used to be a hidden gem a few years ago, but something seems to have changed recently. I ordered two carne asada tacos and three chicken tacos last night, and they were all awful. The chicken tacos upset my husband's stomach so much that it was audibly gurgling. The carne asada tacos were just as bad--greasy, soggy, and strangely filled with hard chunks of meat that felt like chewing on cement. I had to spit out bites because they were so unpleasant. Thankfully, I didn't end up sick, but the experience was terrible. Whoever runs this place now should consider closing up shop. read more

The presentation was beautiful along with the horchata martini. I would definitely try this place again! read more

Went to Mi California for lunch with a friend. Sat at the bar and was promptly greeted by the owner. The restaurant is clean and well lighted by both national sunlight and interior lighting.

I've returned multiple times and highly recommend Mi to friends. read more

When I say hands down, probably the best carne asada taco I've ever had. Meat quality, taste, size of taco, just everything lol. I am not a big fish eater but with their fish taco they have certainly made a believer out of me. I honestly can't wait to get back to that carne asada taco . Oooo and I can't forget about the service. The guys working there are so chill and willing to help with anything. They apparently have event nights. Definitely recommend this place. read more
