Best Breakfast Restaurants in La Mirada

We love Bacari and have been to Silverlake, Glendale and now your location. Unfortunately there was a restaurant full of college kids out for the night and we were sat next to a giant table of young guys having fun. There was a young man at the end of a long table about 2 inches from my chair and his friends kept coming up to walk over and chat and lean over my wife and I. Definitely not a pleasant dining experience at all at first. We were able to move over to the back outside corner when a table opened and eventually the students left and it was great. Nothing against the kids being there but it just made it not so great, actually bad at first. That said, your waitstaff, host, and security were all super friendly and understanding and helpful - so, they turned a rough start into a nice evening and the food is always fantastic so that made up for it too. Had I known we'd be put in the middle back against the alley next to that big table I wouldn't have come and would rather have been told it was booked being that full. But, overall, I'm glad it worked out. My wife and I felt for the staff as they say it happens often. I think they just need to manage it a little better. Not sure what they can do but it seemed like there were lots of tables of college kids having a drink and appetizers. I didn't see full dinners unless they ate earlier. I wouldn't want them to turn business down and I'm glad the kids have a place to go, but I think the host could ask them to be seated and be respectful in the nice environment they've created. It's not a frat party after all. We'll be back as again, the staff and food made it worthwhile, but we will avoid and call in the future to make sure it's not 'college night'.

Food is delicious. Love the mini conchas. Staff are friendly. Place is clean. Decor matches name.

We really enjoyed ourselves the food was excellent the people working there were very professional and friendly and looking forward to coming back again

The inside is well designed. Had the carnitas lunch special and a house made strawberry margarita. Both were great

We made reservations for Mother's Day at Mimi's and as usual they were wonderful! The food is consistently good, and our server was a gem! The manager is always on top of things and always makes sure that we have a great dining experience. We would recommend Mimi's Whittwood in Whittier to anyone :)
