“Second time stopping by and just like the first time, it was so delicious. Yellow corn tortilla, grilled onions and chiles, and you get to add everything on on your own. The bacon wrapped hotdogs were pretty good as expected and the quesadillas were even better. The meat still tasted fresh even at 1:30 in the morning. I just wish there was a tabke or 2 to sit down at but thats ok. Definitely coming back and making it a top choice when in fresno.Parking: Maybe about 8 spots with handicapped spots available, but u also haven't been there at peak times to know how it gets.“

“Great place. Coffee was hot, fresh, and quickly refilled. They say the eggs are cooked in butter, and I believe them--you can taste it. Their waffles were perfect. It's some of the best diner food you can get, period. My buddy got a chile verde omelette, and it was flavorful without being too spicy (you can get a fried jalapeño if you want it spicier, which she did.) Highly recommend!“

“Stopped in for lunch. Ordered the grilled basa (fish) with rice & grilled vegetables. It was perfectly fixed & excellent tasting, a lot more fish than I was expecting! Very clean diner, helpful & friendly staff. Would easily go again & have already recommended it to others ♥️“

“First timer here for my sister's birthday celebration and the experience was phenomenal! Food portion was smaller than expected but they were beautifully presented and delicious. Cudos to the server and other members who catered to our needs. They were very friendly and customer service orientated. I am definitely returning for round two!“

This restaurant has the absolute best AUTHENTIC Mexican Food!!! Not only was the food amazing, but the place itself was very clean and inviting. Staff was super nice and helpful. Oh!!! did I mention the strawberry margarita??? SOOOOOO Good!!! Don't judge by the outside or the location... You'll be sorry you did.“

“I sent my husband out to get tacos at a new spot that we had discovered only to find that they weren't there for the night and my husband stumbled upon this one on the way and decided to give it a try. He said there was a line and they were pretty busy and only 3 guys working the truck but boy did those 3 workers worked fast. My husband got his food almost instantly I was surprised when he said he was on his way home. The food was still nice a warm. We ordered Tripas, asada and birria tacos. Everything was delicious! the tortilla weren't greasy nor hard like other places. This truck is definitely a hidden gem. They also didn't skimp out on the meat and it was flavorful. The birria tacos were loaded with meat and so heavy the consommé was yum! They provided plenty of condiments. Highly recommend!“

“When we go down to fresno ca. We for sure go to Country fair. It's the best food and prices are so good. We have been going there since it opened. My parents always went there. Thank you guys for such a awesome resturaunt.Parking: It's very small parking lot in back. Very hard to park“

“The guys are extremely professional and super nice, the food is 10/10 delicious! Whatever that black sauce is fire kiddos enjoyed every bite! the shrimp cocktail, ceviche and shrimp tacos were all so authentic and succulent ! Easy to get to, more than enough parking and quick service“

“Man this place is not the most aesthetically pleasing on the exterior or interior. This is the definition of a hole in the wall that is amazing. The service was like going to a distant Tia and cousin. They were super nice and made it feel chill and homey.We had frickin bomb food! I am so satisfied with the meat, green salsa, and fresh tortillas. My husband slurped that whole horchata DOWN“

“We moved here about 3 months ago and ive been on the search of good chilaquiles. I had found a spot but this place takes the crown!! BEST food by far!! My boyfriend got the asada quesadilla and just WOW!!La comida mas rica que hemos comido en Fresno!!“

“I was driving through Fresno and looking for a place to eat. I decided on this place and I was not disappointed. I had the garlic shrimp and it was incredible. The tortillas are made in house and are so good. The salsa is great too. The service was fantastic. Really can't go wrong with this place.“

“My point off view, if you want authentic Mexican food cooked from scratch and almost tastes as good as my cooking come here I'm actually having them cook for my granddaughters Sweet 16 birthday which is going to cost me hundreds of dollars and if I can interest them to cook for 100 plus people believe me they're top-notch and I speak from a lot of years of experience my mother was a professional cook and out of eight girls I took after her when it comes to cooking and if I trust anybody to cook for my granddaughter because I will be there present with her it's this restaurant Amen“

“Seems like it might be a family business, the host was super friendly and helpful, the food tasty and plentiful, and the prices reasonable for the times. I even split the Enchilada plate into two plates and they only charged me for one plate and a $2 side of beans and rice! Bent over backward to make our experience a good one, will be back!“

“Went there on a whim on a family members recommendation. The food is great, service was great, and the atmosphere was nice. Had the don jesus burrito, and was a great meal. It is so big that you have to cut it to eat it, and you even need a spoon to eat the stuff that falls out of it. Had a churro donut as a snack, and it's delicious. Will definitely come back for another don jesus burrito.“

“My first time eating here. The service is great. Food came.out quickly. I love that they have a variety. The vegetarian pho is the best I had. Flavor is spot on. Try the lemon grass chicken bahn mi! The portions and price are great. Finally a place that doesn't dry out the pork chop. The fried tofu was perfect and the sauce enhanced the flavor. Highly recommend!“

“Comfy and small place, only 5 booths and chairs at the bar, not big at all. But the food and service is always great, not a flashy place if that's what your looking for.50+ years in service and don't see it showing down anytime soon.“

“Came up from Visalia to meet my friend for lunch, and as soon as I walked in the atmosphere and music where setting the tone for a relaxed chill vibe.I had enchiladas with rice and beans I got both green and red causecAnnie recommended them.And I was so blown away with the flavor of the green salsa and the red one has a nice spicy rich flavor, with a cold beer and I was on some award winning lunch vibeGo give them a try tell them I sent you.“

“La Elegante Mexican Restaurant is a family-owned and operated restaurant in Fresno, California. It was founded in 1984 by Celia and Benito Arenas, who moved to Fresno from Los Angeles with their five children. The family started out with a food truck, which quickly became popular for its authentic Mexican food.In 1993, the Arenas family opened their first brick-and-mortar restaurant in the heart of Fresno's Chinatown.The restaurant is now run by the Arenas children, who continue to uphold their parents' commitment to using fresh, local ingredients and serving high-quality Mexican food. La Elegante is known for its wide variety of tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes.I recently had the opportunity to visit La Elegante and try their al pastor tacos. The tacos were made with fresh, juicy al pastor and served with onions, and cilantro on warm corn tortillas. The tacos were absolutely delicious!Overall, I was very impressed with La Elegante Mexican Restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend La Elegante to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Mexican food in Fresno.Follow me on IG @hungry_dude_usa“

“Safe place for good Mexican food after painting the house all day food is good . I'm a fat Mexican so I'm critical on Mexican food and this place is a safe place to get Mexican food on this side of town . Not the best in the 559 but good either way.“

“5 stars for the chilaquiles. Oh man. Yum. Not too spicy. Salsas were good. Tacos weren't life changing but still good. There are some funny upcharges like I think my friend was offered prime rib something for like double the price haha. Most other stuff is reasonable. Can get busy, but wait time isn't insane. Parking lot sucks though haha.“

“From the tender, flavorful pork to the handmade tortillas and fresh toppings, each taco is a true delight. The welcoming ambiance and friendly service add to the experience, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or family.“

“First off, there’s nothing like family, and this family owned and operated. And from the very beginning they have made us feel like we were part of their family. And they treat everyone like this! Not to mention the food. It’s home style cooking is as if “abuelita” made it. Always the perfect portion. We always leave very satisfied. Thank you La Mañanitas! For the great food and service.“

“I came here from Bakersfield to buy my coworkers some breakfast burritos. I read solid reviews about this place, so I thought I'd give it a try. While waiting on my breakfast burritos, Bertha gave me a cup of Birria. This was a very nice gesture. This is the first time trying goat Birria and I must say, this is the best Birria I've ever had. Very tasty and right blend of spices. And then, Fernando started talking to me and we shared stories about our cultures and how many similarities we have between the Hispanic and Asian cultures. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I eventually got the breakfast burritos, they were huge and very good as well. I give this place five stars for food taste and quality. Five stars for customer service. And five stars for being so personable and having genuine conversations to build relationships with their customers. I can't wait to come back to Fresno just to eat here. Great job to this mom & pop restaurant!“

“You MUST try this restaurant!! I have no words to describe how surprised and good the food here is! I felt like I was eating in my friends home, you could taste the love in every bite. The layers of flavor are unlike any Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. The service was good and the place is quaint, not fancy but welcoming. I had the shrimp Al La Diabla and the heat snuck up on you but not in a overwhelming bad way. My daughter had the shrimp and octopus cocktail and my husband had the Vericruzana. Both are incredible. I can't wait to go back.“

“Very welcoming atmosphere here. Feels like a family friends house. The food is fantastic and you get quite a lot portion wise. Large variety of food and drinks as well as several types of cold beers. Inside or outside tables for whatever mood your in. Plenty of parking including truck/trailer parking out back. Definitely will be back!Parking: Plenty of parking out front and a large lot for motorhomes campers and tractor trailers out back.“

“Really delicious food great prices, if your looking for a great plate of food this is the place big plate lots of big portions very tasty. They have small plates if you like just a small portion to go with your main dish. We had a small bowl of menudo so delicious great portion.about size of cup. They have menudo every day. Service was great and fast so friendly it's like eating at home. Homemade tortillas, salsa's they have from beans papa's nopales to steak. This is more of an eating at home atmosphere. Our family from Chicago is down they loved this place.Kid-friendliness: Very good with kids joked around with themWheelchair accessibility: We really needed accessibility it was great easy to come in from the back door. We had a walker and a scooter they were very helpful.“

“6 of us went at 730pm on a Friday for karoke at 8pm. The servers greeted us friendly and let us know about all the items, especially that they just got their liquor license so they were serving mixed drinks. They quickly put together a table for us and a little bit later we ordered food. The tostada de jaiba was delicious. Kitchen closes at 10pm, but they also sell pupusas until 11pm. Music and dancing was great! It's the people that create a vibe ?“

“The best tacos in Fresno! Outstanding service to match the great food! The decor is nice too, really carved furniture and paintings. I strongly recommend trying this place out, a guaranteed gem. The restaurant is family run and operated, a local Fresno business. All the food is made from scratch, and all the salsas are made in house!“

“The place might be small but it delivers exceptional quality! We were instantly greeted and helped to our table by the amazing chef who also made sure everything including the high chairs for our kids was wiped down and clean.Pros:the chips are actually house madeThe green sauce is to die forThe horchata is actually homemade too!Civeche is freshFood is all hot and made to orderThe service is better than you'll find anywhere elseCons: there aren't more of this manKid-friendliness: Plenty of high chairs and a friendly atmosphere“

“Stopped in tonight for the first time to get the Saturday online special. Wow!! The food was delicious! We will definitely be eating here again! I highly recommend the Citrus Marinated Chicken Taco and the Chicken Tomatillo Tamale. It was gluten free AND the flavor was great!!Dietary restrictions: I rarely eat out due to gluten allergy but felt comfortable eating here after seeing that most everything (if not all) is gluten free.“

“Great service and bomb food. I'd it wasn't in the Valero gas station it would be perfect but I'm not gonna knock them any stars cause the service is always a 10/10.Wheelchair accessibility: It is accessible and they are courteous to handicapped ♿️ people“

“The tacos were the best tacos Ive ever had...and I'm Mexican. I ordered one adobado and carne taco, and a carne asada burrito, with just meat cheese and beans. It was so freaking good. The tacos stole the show though....oh and the salsa was delicious. Best tacos in Fresno.“

“If you're interested in trying a new spot to eat breakfast, this spot is it. I added 2 eggs over easy to the Bistek Plate, and it was the best breakfast I've had at a restaurant here in Fresno in a really long time. The ladies here are very welcoming and the food was very fresh. The tortillas here are homemade and fresh. 100% recommend you give this place a try“

“By far one of the best steaks I’ve ever had from a restaurant in Fresno! The environment and service is top notch! This restaurant has set the bar very high with everything from flavors to service. Since eating here I have found alot of other restaurants falling short of the standards met. 10 out of 10 must go. If your not from Fresno make the trip! The rib eye is cooked to perfection every time, also has a great variety of tequila!!! Thanks to the chef and all the supporting staff for making our dinner awesome. See you guys next time!“

“I love this place. The only place I get pupusa from. The woman at the front end is so sweet! If you dine it it’s so cozy and she caters to you so well. The food is amazing authentic and you can see them making it in the kitchen! The best part is the prices. So many places charge a lot honestly she could raise them and I would still buy from here. The best place. Can’t say enough good things.“

“The tacos here are always good. I live near by and I see they're open pretty consistently. It's nice because there is a lot of room for parking. It's behind the Am/Pm gas station on Ashlan. They have a table to sit and wait or you can wait in your car. The service is friendly and fast. It's a chill spot and pretty low key usually. The Sabor Michoacán is down the street but is always too crowded. The tacos here, in my opinion, are better and you can get your food quicker. Plus, if need be, you can hit the gas station before or after which is convenient.“

“So let's start off with the area. It is not the greatest, so keep your head on a swivel. I've never had any problems and never heard of one from friends who eat there. So don't judge a book by the cover here. You'll lose out on delicious food. I always grab the meat only burrito. Carne asada is seasoned perfectly. It's a lot of food for not a bad price. The horchata is refreshing . They speak English and Spanish. Girl working was very friendly and professional. Will for sure be back.“

“THE ORIGINAL DON PEPE !If you are from this neighborhood spot when they first opened up 27 years ago then you will know that the original name of this place was named Don Pepe ProductsAll the others around Fresno are not . Great food and they now sell mariscos“

“I know these guys,for more than Seven years and they have been;nice service,great and awesome people and great cookers.I really like the delicious burritos(camarón and the special: eggs,beans,rice,potatoes Mexican style)...The delicious ice cream: pistachios,vanilla,strawberry and nuez :).I’ll see You guys,when I go to Fresno again...Good-luck and I wish You the best of life and more satisfied clients,like me and the others...My Blessings guys!“

“This is, I think, my favorite taqueria. All of the meats are always good cuts, no fat, just the meat. Good quality chicken, pork and beef which is important to me. Fresh vegetables. Simple salsa bar with a red and green, pickled jalepenos/ carrots/ onion/ cauliflower, cabbage, and limes. Simple but very very tasty. I have been told that his home made pickles I just mentioned are the best in town, and I believe it. The owner is usually taking the order and also helping in kitchen. Very pleasant man, proud of his home country of Guadalajara, an area of which his restaurant is named after. There is always a soccer game on the TV. This is a modest place, but clean and authentic. My go to order in the weekends is the Machaca breakfast burrito. Chicken burrito is another favorite. Lately I've been enjoying his Al Pastor Tortas and his Chile rellenos. I have not had a poorly prepared item here. Always consistent, mainly because the owner is always here making sure everything is done right. I just love this place, and I have honestly eaten almost everywhere in Fresno. The owner ran out to the parking lot to hand me my flour tortillas that I forgot on the counter one time. They offer a full line of authentic Central American soups which I see being ordered a lot but have not tried. I highly reccomend this joint.“

“This family owned business has been around for so many years and continues to deliver quality products while maintaining a positive representation. The owners are really good people who appreciate their employees and have created an encouraging and productive work space.“

“THE best place for quick Mexican cuisine in Fresno. I absolutely recommend their breakfast burritos. Their food is as authentic as it gets.Their staff is also very friendly and kind. I had a wonderful conversation with a staff member about the weather today.Overall 5/5, wish I could give it more stars!“
