Mimi's Cafe

"We often dined at Mimi's when it was closer. We were craving the delicious French Pot Roast, so decided to make the drive to Mission Valley. We were seated quickly, but service lagged from there. It took a bit to get our water and drinks. The iced tea came and it was stale and the coffee was delayed to make a new pot. Our order was placed and while the restaurant was fairly empty, it took a while for the food to come out. Our appetizer came with the meal. The brussel sprouts were just okay and when the plate was delivered, the portion size was quite small in comparison to the plate. The French Pot Roast has always been a hearty serving. We were disappointed in the lack of potatoes accompanying the roast. The meat chunks were particularly fatty, many pieces were set aside, too difficult to chew through. We did not receive refills on our beverages although they were requested. We may try this location again in the future to ease our craving, hopefully we just visited on a bad day."

"Mimi's Cafe has been around for decades. I have not eaten at Mimi's in a long time but was delighted by my eating experience! The selection at Mimi's has been impressive, and their current menu has pages of options with a lot of their comfort favorites like chicken pot pie, the turkey dinner, and the pot roast dinner. My waiter was kind, professional, and served us well. The atmosphere in the restaurant is almost identical to what it has been for over 20 years, which made the restaurant familiar and homey. Regarding the food: The spinach artichoke dip and bread were rich, creamy, and had a great balance of vegetables and cheese. The Corn Chowder was incredible; a touch of sweet, a touch of creamy, a touch of herb seasoning, and a must try, which it has been for decades at Mimi's. Then there was the crème brûlée. The crème brûlée was out of this world, I think the Crème brûlée at Mimi's is one of the best in San Diego, CA. To be determined: I bought some Carrot- Raisin Muffins and some Pumpkin Spice Muffins to bring home. In short! If you have never been to Mimi's or you have not been in a while, it's worth trying."

"I love Mimi’s!!!! I was trying to find a good sit down place to have a coffee with a friend, found this and decided to give it a shot! The waiter was sooo nice! The food came right away and was delicious!!!! They even gave me a little dessert because we were celebrating my birthday! I love this place! Definitely coming back!"

"You can’t go wrong with Mimi’s Cafe. The consistency in the product stays true every time. This location is always clean and the service is top notch. There are plenty of adjacent rooms, which really maximizes seating, even allowing for multiple large parties at the same time. Blueberry Muffin is a must when you are at Mimi’s; a top recommendation. Steak & Eggs are filling and the simple eggs fit nicely with any breakfast; don’t forget the roasted potatoes that are crispy and tender equally. Parking can be a bit difficult, at the lot is shared and smaller. However, that being the worst problem, you are in for a good meal and great location central to Mission Valley and the rest of San Diego."
