Our Story

One of the best restaurants in Rosenberg for Mexican food

Our story is more than being in the restaurant industry for over three decades.  It's a story of service, relationships, creativity, hard work, faith, and family.  And it begins with Nohemy (Mimi) and Ismael Gutierrez, who came before us to pave the way, as we hope to do for the next generations.  It takes courage to leave the familiar, walk into the unknown and take risks.  For the hope of a better future and love for our families, we've been more than willing to face our fears, dream bigger dreams, immigrate to America, be the first generation to pursue a higher education, and become entrepreneurs.  Each turn in our journeys has been filled with surprises, obstacles, wins and losses.  However, through our faith and support of family and friends we've maintained a fighting spirit.

Mask of a Luchador

A Passion for Mexican Culture

We appropriately chose the Mask of a Luchador (Mexican wrestler) to represent Mike's La Taqueria.  It takes a fighting spirit to keep moving forward when:  all energy is drained, faith is dwindled down to a mustard seed, and the outlook for the future is cloudy.  Through the luchador mask we remind ourselves to keep fighting the good fight on a daily basis and encourage others to adopt a Luchador Spirit.

15 Years

Why Locals Love Our Rosenberg Mexican Restaurant

After 15 years of hard work, Taqueria Doña Mimi transitioned to Mike's La Taqueria where we continue to build upon the efforts and perseverance of its founders, Mimi and Ismael.  Their three decades of restaurant experience is a cornerstone to our progress.  As the first generation tags the second and third generations in this restaurant entrepreneurship wrestling match, we are humbled by the devotion and support of our staff and motivated by the friendships that have flourished.  Thus, we keep moving forward with our Luchador Spirit leading the way and the backing of our predecessors (with an occasional encore presentation from Mimi and her delicious homemade recipes).   We hope to build on their legacy by creating a welcoming and entertaining environment that is fueled by our passion for hospitality and margaritas.
