About

Mijares Mexican Restaurant is Pasadena's oldest Mexican restaurant, founded over 100 years ago by Jesucita Mijares after she fled the revolution in Mexico and settled in Pasadena. Her original recipes, including tamales and salsas made with a volcanic stone molino, remain at the heart of the menu today. The restaurant is still family-operated, now under the care of her daughter Alice and three generations of the Mijares family. Guests can dine in a festive indoor setting, across three full-service patios, or in a historic banquet facility where Jesucita once lived. The full bar pours award-winning margaritas, and the Sunday mimosa brunch draws a loyal crowd.
