"If it’s your first visit, don’t rush to order. The menu is packed with options, from soups and enchiladas to fajitas and house specialties. Mijares has been serving Pasadena for generations, and the food leans into the kind of comforting, family-style Mexican cooking that keeps regulars coming back. Be sure to save room for the guacamole, which is prepared fresh and has become one of the restaurant’s signature starters."
