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. A very pleasant atmosphere. Food was ordered and delivered hot and delicious without delay. Parking was available on the street without meters. I've returned multiple times and highly recommend Mi to friends.

The bartender/server is very nice and makes good drinks. The cerviche is good and we always get the wet burrito. I love that it is walking distance from the house.

If you're in need of a quick margarita and some Mexican food, this is your spot. Clean restaurant on a busy Blvd. They have sign so yoy don't miss it. I got Nachos, they had big flavor. Yum. And they had some $5 drink specials me and a friend took advantage.

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.

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.

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.

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!
