MiMi's Tacos and French Fries

Second you walk in, vibes are immaculate. Food was incredible, I think this is the only time I've ever made 3 separate transactions in one meal. Like I thought I was done but I wasn't. Their jerk chicken tacos were amazing, might be the best jerk I've had in Chicago and that's comparing to handful of good competitors.Def coming back.

Drove for 40 minutes after a 10 hour shift to patronize this black business. Since I was obviously tired, I ordered my food for pickup about minutes before I arrived so I wouldn't have to wait long.I selected curbside delivery and called the restaurant once I was outside. No answer. Not a huge deal, so I went inside and was told by a woman it would be 4 minutes until my order was ready. I asked if she would bring it out to me and she said yes.I went back to my car since I didn't want to get a ticket for being parked in the bus lane. I'm watching the door so I can honk when my food is brought out and notice a white couple with a baby go in. I make a phone call and realize I have waited about 15 minutes, when I was told it would only be 4 minutes.Again, not a huge deal if I will get fresh hot food for the wait. I go back in and am told by a guy it would be a few more minutes. Again, I ask if he can bring it out to the car, was told yes, again I go back to my car to wait. Not long after I get back in my car do I see the same white couple leaving with their food. I know they didn't preorder because I saw the receipt in their hand as they left to walk around until their food was ready. I was watching the door the entire time I was waiting for my food so I noticed who came in and out. From the time I ordered to the time I received my food it was over 45 minutes. For three tacos and a hamburger. All of which was old, salty, and overcooked. It is obvious my time and money was not valued, so I won't ever be back. Extremely disappointing that Chicago has another black restaurant that has no idea on how to run a business. Do better.

Sh!ts trash and y'all know it. Stop gassing. Too much salt, store bought tortillas, chewy meat. If the food is not good all the time...it's trash. Patty melt on IG shows fresh ground beef...nope was served a frozen patty. Basura. Oh and the service also trash. Watched people come in and order after me and then get their food before me. Like a lot of food. Ordered online. Not sure why they offer ordering online when they don't like online orders. ‍ go to the hood where the people who make tacos know how to make tacos and eat there.

Husband took me here about a week ago, he was raving about how great the food was so I finally tried it. Rice was tasty, I was very happy that the rice was good & not bland tasting. The steak birria was actually really good. Nice hot&fresh crunchy shells, dipping sauce (idk the correct name for it) was great, fries were great.. Italian ice was delicious, sooooo flavorful! My husband met one of the cooks (Jamal) while he was at work some time ago & he still remembered my husband which I was surprised at lol but he treated us very well. Service definitely 5 stars

Finally, I found a spot near my home that has DELICIOUS food. I also finally got to try the Birria tacos. Amazing!!!!! I will return to try more food. The fries were simply fantastic. Service was great and the guy who takes your order is so personable and friendly. Love it. I'll be back guys.

Coming from someone who really doesn't put tacos at the top half of her go-to cuisines list: I'm a fan! Picked up a couple combo orders of the birria along with some fries because I was in the area and my husband is a big tacos fan. I have to say- I'm converted. Crispy, yet chewy outer shell, perfectly seasoned, so oily (in a this-is-probably-not-healthy-but-I-dont-care way), it was perfection. And the fries were A+ of course! Would love to try out other proteins next time, and get my hands on more of those tots.

Great customer service. Great food and always hot and fresh. Def one of my fav places to grab and go

What a gem! This has been on my list of places to check out for a few months. My Son had a soccer game over at UIC so we decided to stop by for some after game eats. The place is very small with just one table and just enough space for about 6 people to stand comfortably. Definitely a pick up and go establishment. I ordered the jerk chicken birria tacos with rice and The Sun ordered the burger no onion with fries. Everything was made fresh to order and we were serviced pretty quickly. The birria tacos were very yummy! The consume wasn't the best I've had, but it did give the tacos a great flavor. The rice was tasty and went well with the tacos I just wish I had some beans to go with it. My son said the burger was the best he's ever had and he can't wait to go back to get another one! It's safe to say that Mimi's will now be a staple in this household! If you're in the area be sure to support this black owned business! You won't regret it!

Star Rating for Customer Service: 1/5Food Rating: 4.5/5Wanted to try this place because it was recommended to me. [THE EXPERIENCE]Called ahead and spoke to a lady who sounded irritable. I tried explaining I wasn't close by and wanted to see how to place my order based on what I was getting and how far away I was... maybe it was too complicated for the lady to comprehend, i don't know. I was told to call back 10 mins before heading over. When I called back, I was placed on hold. After holding I just hung up. I called back and spoke with Jamal. Jamal told me "you were only waiting for 3 mins and when I went to pick up the phone I didn't hear nothing".So as to not argue because that's wasting my time and my good energy... I ignored the tacky slick comment and placed my order for pickup. [MY ORDER] (2) Pulled Chicken Birra Tacos (1) Cheese Tots Side of: Lettuce, Pico de Gallo [THERE's MORE...]When I got inside I waited a little bit for my food to be finished. It was a bit tight as it's a small space but people got their orders and were out. When it was my turn to pay my total was $17 and change. I went ahead and gave $20 just to get out of there. [OVERALL] The food was good. Portions are good. Customer service is: poor and lacking - I'M HUGE ON CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORTING BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES BUT because of this experience... I would NEVER return.

Came across MiMi's by chance, & it was love at first bite! Food is always made-to-order, the veggies are fresh & crunchy, including the in-house pico de gallo. They offer Italian ice which is hand mixed on location as well! Excited to hear that they're relocating nearby to a larger area with more seating, & an outdoor patio (I stalk their IG @tacosbymimi.)My go-to: taco fries/taco 'tots (your choice of protein, add jerk sauce for spice)*include all toppings, lettuce, tomato, pico de gallo, jalapeño, sour cream.My food never stands a chance make it out of my car, it's always so good I have to stop and enjoy it while en route to my next stop.
