Wow!!!! What a hole-in-wall/dive shocker. I've eaten my share of street vendor fish tacos but Mikey's blows any food truck out of the water. I could tell from the first bite the tortillas were not some packaged brand. Unbelievably fresh taste. You know when you don't expect something and then it totally blows you away....this is that kinda place. The atmosphere is what should be expected....damp,hot, sweaty....crowded. It's a juke joint....and the service is great. Friendly and prompt. This is 4 star dining without having to dress up and act like a priss. Check this place out....you won't be disappointed. Oh, and there's live jazz/blues. Epic joint....
I used to live by this place, it was my watering hole. The owner used to make pots of chili on Sundays for football games. It's a cute setting, starting to get a little run down. But they have some pretty cool music, went back the other weekend and saw a decent blues band. The food is still pretty good too, typical pub grub. The kind of stuff you wash down with beer. Kind of miss those days when I could just stagger back home.
This is one of those places that is so far off the beaten track, that you can't get there from here (at least not driving). However, make the effort. It's worth it. We stopped by for an afternoon jam which was fantastic. Like every good jazz/blues place I've ever been to, it's 'cozy' which translates to a narrow hallway room which will always be crowded at the best of times, but on this day, at the back tables are available since the sun has drawn everyone outside to the patio which is full barring one table. So, the right atmosphere, and good tunes. That's great all on its own. But then unexpectedly the food also turned out to be pretty darn good! The fish and chips special was cheaper and better than the last few seafood places I've been to that supposedly specialize in the stuff. Two large plump fillets, lightly seasoned despite being called "Cajun" accompanied by an excellent Caesar salad in place of the fries. The fish tacos were a hit as well and when additional guests joined us and got the nachos, they were above par too completing a much better than average feed. The nachos were $18 and covered with good stuff and jalapenos. This place is a find. Give it a try.
