A: Roberto's in general always blows. This one is somewhat better than the rest only because it is probably one of the most run down looking Roberto's I have been in. This means the food is better usually :) Order the carne asada nachos or fries. Or the chimichanga. Whatever you order, expect lackluster guacamole, too much sour cream, and food quality that is...let's just say...one step above taco bell. Portions are ridiculous. I only eat half the super nacho portion and I am super stuffed for the night. It breaks my heart that I have yet to find a taqueria similar to those I am familiar with in the bay...quick, delicious Mexican food...and the fact that people recommend Roberto's for "good Mexican food" is embarrassing.

Q: positive

A: The food is consistently good here. I almost always get the same thing which is the Chicken Bryan served with garlic mashed potatoes. My husband usually gets the Fettucine Weesie which, according to him, has a great flavor of sauce with plenty of shrimp. Bread with olive oil and spices are top notch. I look forward to eating it. The only strange thing I have run into on my last two visits involve a cocktail. I have been ordering the Razzamatini Martini. They bring it to your table in a shaker and pour the drink in front of you. I don't like my whole drink poured in to my glass at one time. I asked the server on two separate occasions to leave the shaker at the table and they would not. They told me people steal them so they are not allowed to leave them with the guest. Strange.

Q: positive

A: Best cheese curds in the world! Spotted cow beer is amazing. Everyone is so nice. Guacamole bacon cheeseburger is so good.

Q: negative

A:
What has happened to Mimi's? It was always our favorite place to go for a good meal with good service. Now the menu has been cut down to fewer selections, service is horrible and proportions have been cut as well. We always looked forward to the bread basket containing the wonderful carrot-raisin bread. No more carrot raisin bread. Just plain rolls that were just okay. (I ordered a separate c-r muffin to get my fix). We wanted an appetizer but the selection was so unappealing that we just ordered the small dinner salads that were listed as appetizers. Most of the appetizers had some type of seafood and unfortunately I'm not a fan. The Brie thing and the artichoke thing didn't appeal at all either. We both just ordered water to drink but didn't get it until after the salads arrived. My husband ordered the salmon dish and I was happy to see they still had their meatloaf dinner, although listed separately on another menu under "Classics". Both meals were very good, but the portions were not what they used to be. Our server never once came to check on us and we never got a refill on water. The place had very few customers so it's hard to understand why a little extra time couldn't have been taken to see if we needed anything. In years past the place was always busy and we knew if we didn't want a long wait to get there fairly early. We went at peak dinner time tonight and there were very few customers, but we still had to wait a few minutes to be seated. It's obvious that they don't have the wait staff or bus people they used to have. Maybe because their business has fallen off? They need to go back and re-think about how successful they used to be and compare that against all the changes they have made. I don't want to see them fail, but I want it to be worth my time and money to keep patronizing them. It's sad to see how bad it's become and I hope management takes note of everyone's comments and takes steps to try and turn it back around.
