Definitely a solid choice for fast casual Mexican. Ample parking as they are in strip mall with a devoted parking lot.
The menu is at the front and you order and pay at the same time. You get a number and a tray if you ordered chips or a dip.
It took 10-15 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the grilled chicken and al pastor tacos with sour cream and tomatoes as a side. The chicken was good and you could taste the grill marks. Al pastor was good as well. The tomato and sour cream are sides so extra charge but she gave me two side cups of each so well worth the cost. I also ordered the guacamole which was a bit bland but at least no hard avocados in it.

Overall, a solid place for some fast casual Mexican grub....

But here in fusion-happy Northern Michigan, middle-of-the-road Tex-Mex food is worth a solid 4 stars... no one is here to reinvent the taco, and that is a great thing. They've got all the greatest hits here: the previously mentioned tacos, as well as burritos, fajitas, enchiladas... it is all standard fare. The staff is outstandingly friendly and attentive, which is why I think Mimi's deserves a 5th star.
Everyone from a major metropolitan area who moves to Northern Michigan will eventually long for a food option that doesn't taste like it was made by white people, and Mimi's...
