Mijares Mexican Restaurant in Pasadena celebrated 103 years in business and 91-year-old Alice Mijares Recendez remembers every step of her journey with the beloved eatery.
Alice's mother, Jesucita Mijares, started the iconic restaurant in 1920 after moving to Pasadena from Jalisco, Mexico.
The business fought through the depression, a devastating arson fire, and the COVID-19 pandemic, all because of one thing. The Mijares' authentic flavor, classic margaritas and Jesucita's recipes are key to the major milestone, making the restaurant one of the oldest ever in the Los Angeles area. Alice remembers her time working at the restaurant, keeping the sense of unity alive.
The family said they know Jesucita is smiling down, proud of the legacy she built, and the family carrying it on.
