always a pleasant experience at a reasonable price. Can't wait to return. Great food at a reasonable price especially for Seniors.

The entrance is on the side of building along an alley. The food was good, prices were good. They do get pretty busy and there is a good amount of seating but it can feel crowded. The noise level is pretty high due to amount of people in a not so large space. The restaurant is clean, kind of old school semi hole-in-wall vibe. The servers are great and attentive. There are also a couple TV's usually tuned in to sports channels. read more

Country Fair on Belmont is easily one of the best spots in town for truly authentic, flavor-packed Mexican food. This place is always packed and I know why because the food here is just great! I like the way it is always clean especially the bathrooms. It's a pretty low-key place nice and cool when it's hot outside and the service is really fast. You have to pay extra for chips and salsa but I didn't mind doing that at all because it's worth the money. I ordered the special for the day which was two chicken green enchiladas served with beans and rice and this was packed with so much flavor it was so delicious. A Huge thanks to our waitress, Maudi, whose warm, friendly, and courteous service made our dining experience absolute perfection! read more

Haven't been here in a while and not really sure why. There has been two changes since being here last: they now take cards and they have Negra Modelo on tap! Both of which I will partake of! My wife got the Popeye Omelette and the boy got chilaquiles. Of course I had to do divorced eggs. Food was great as was the service. read more

Been going here for over 30 years and the food is always amazing! They did increase their prices significantly recently. I used to order a large combination #2 and it was $11.75 two weeks ago, now it's $14! That's crazy! Will def not be dining here as often now. read more

I literally hate doing this. this place was my favorite place when my daughters were all young. me and my wife would feed our kids on about $45. that would be two regular breakfast dishes and three kids breakfast plates including drinks. today? For four people it was $80 with a tip. the photo will show you. I ordered Chile Colorado with scrambled eggs and potatoes. I ate one piece of meat and when I looked down I realized it was only three left. in amazement, I asked the waitress what had happened. she went back to the cook who stated that's how much they meat they put on that plate. we both kind of stood there awkwardly and she did not ask me if there was anything else she could do and I didn't know what to say back. it was not worth what we paid for. it was a lot more than what I thought we would pay for. but chili colorado breakfast with four pieces of meat is not satisfactory. and I loved this place. read more

I stopped by here after the farmers market on Shaw and Blackstone on Saturday. I had the best tasting chilaquiles I've ever had and I lived in Baja for 10 years! The flavor was off the charts.

Country Fare Cafe - Red Chilaquiles - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

This restaurant has not been improved or updated since the early 90s when I first visited. I was shocked to see rusty and old plumbing exposed under the sink, the toilet wouldn't flush unless you held the handle, and there were no paper towels in lieu of the hand dryer that did not work. Customer service was lacking and the potatoes were greasy. I was disappointed with the lack of care the owners put into the ambiance and aesthetics. I will not return and neither will my friends. read more

If there's one thing I'll order, other than tacos, at a Mexican restaurant-- it's enchiladas. More specifically, cheese enchiladas. My friends and I joke that I could easily be a vegetarian since I don't care much for meat sometimes... but of course, I can't live without tacos either. Every time I go to this establishment, as much as I say I'd like to try something new, something different-- I always end up ordering these cheese enchiladas. There's no way. I crave that sauce at least once a month, if not more. I neeeeed to know how it's done!! Their rice and beans are really good as well. Add their spicy salsa (it's not that spicy but I love the flavor) and it's the perfect meal paired with a nice, refreshing, fizzy coke! They do not offer complimentary chips & salsa, but that's okay. The amount of food is plenty! The service is quick, the servers are as nice as they can be, and there's plenty of seating available... but they do have their moments and fill up so you'll be waiting in line, but not for too long, just jot your name down. Because they are in such a small, hidden location, parking may be sparse... Aside from the alley parking behind them, I usually park in the next neighborhood over, a very short walk. My trick to trying something new is to invite as many different people there with me as I can because they will try other things on the menu and I can nibble off them... win-win! I've tried their Chilaquiles, Chile Relleno, Ground Beef Taco, Chorizo and eggs plate, and Pozole. That's all I can remember at the moment. Some pictured, some not. All very good, yes, even the taco. It's not the typical, authentic tacos we're used to but it was still good... wouldn't be my first choice though. Who are we kidding... we all know my first choice! Cheese Enchis for the win! This is my definition of comfort food. Instant happiness in my belly. Oh, and decently priced. Please never change! read more

Never apologized.I heard her talking to the owners.They didn't even come out to apologize.Nobody did very sad because we eat there all the time. read more

The food was overly greasy, and the shrimp fajitas were overcooked. The rice was dry as well. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place.

this place good to eat at especially with friends and family definitely delicious food and my go to place

I ordered two chicken enchiladas , and one cheese enchilada with a side of rice and beans. The corn tortillas were stale and chewy, and the beans and rice tasted far from fresh. Not long after eating, I began to feel nauseous. The ingredients were low quality, and the dish relied heavily on cheap cheddar cheese to cover up the lack of seasoning and freshness. Given the price, the meal felt like a rip-off or a scam. I did not receive the quality advertised and left feeling disappointed and physically unwell. The restaurant appeared to be falling apart, from the floors, to the cracks in the ceiling, and to the food stained walls were absolutely disgusting and I will not be coming back. read more

Country Fare Cafe - Three enchiladas with rice and beans on the side - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

It's been too long since we ate here, but managed to enjoy two late lunches in the past week. Consistency brings longevity and the food here has changed little over the years. Generous portions, well-prepared, not too spicy (but mild & spicy salsa versions are both offered. They stay busy; mid-afternoon, mid-week and the main dining room was full. As we were leaving, at nearly 4:00, newly-arriving customers necessitated the side room to open. Service was great, attentive & efficient. We can recommend the ground beef taco (3) plate with beans & rice, also the shredded beef tacos, chili rellenos, and cheese enchiladas. Plates are brought piping hot to the table, another plus. Forgot to mention reasonable prices (hard to find these days). read more

Stopped in for breakfast after the Farmers Market on Saturday. I ordered the chilaquiles with red sauce. OMG! The flavor was off the charts! I was able to be seated right away.

Nothing too fancy, just a humble family owned restaurant that was comfortable. read more

Boy this is our go to place especially when we have out of town visiting! But we went yesterday it was very disappointing the service was slow! Which I'm not blaming the service people because she was great after we were waited on. The food was not as good as it was usually. We had a very big order to go and ours as well! The Micheladas were delicious! But salsa taste like it came from a can! The food was not tasting as well as usual! The posole soup was very bland I got it to go I tried to Dr. it up but we threw it away! The Chile Relleno had a nasty taste! We were so disappointed. read more

By far the best Mexican food in the valley. I love everything I've tried, and I took my VERY picky nephew there when he and my sister came up from LA. Now, every time they come to visit, his first request is can we please go back to Country Fare? Our entire family loves the food, the staff and the local atmosphere. read more

While there's a lot to like here and the food was good, I likely will not return. The service was excellent and I don't think I'd ever had a more keyed in waitress but the location just isn't acceptable. It's too packed out, too exposed parking on the street and it appears that getting your car side swiped here is highly likely. The 'line' to get a table feels like you're in a police 'line up' to be identified for some crime. You sign in and wait up against a wall. The restaurant is packed out. The food is inexpensive and pretty good. The value is incredible, actually. The combo: chicken taco, shredded beef, enchilada, tamale with rice and beans hit the spot but I didn't eat some of it because it just wasn't flavorful. The tamale was better than some places put out but I wouldn't have it twice. It was lukewarm at best. The enchilada sauce was GREAT but the chicken taco was lack luster and mostly left uneaten. The chicken was tasteless. A sad, first-world decision and I was not interested in taking anything home. The hashbrowns were soggy, thick and not very tasty. Would NOT get those again either. The crowd here were mostly retired, working types and lower income. Super friendly and easy to chat with which was nice. -G read more

Country Fare Cafe - 3 tacos with beans and rice - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

This popular eatery in Southeast Fresno has been prominently featured on ABC30's Dine and Dish. The current owners kept the old restaurant name, which was an American-style diner, in the early 90's and has been serving delicious Mexican or Mexican-American food to its legions of loyal patrons since. My go-to dish at a dine-in Mexican restaurant is usually the enchilada and taco combination plate. Although I feel there are few things better than authentic street-style tacos, I love when restaurants offer this combination platter with the gringo style hard-shelled corn tacos which are served with seasoned ground beef or shredded beef or chicken - along with chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and shredded cheddar cheese. The old Mexican restaurants where I grew up dining at with family in Sacramento always served them this way so it has much to do with the nostalgia factor as it is a personal preference. I like to order this combination with beef tacos and chicken enchiladas. The enchilada was prepared with a Tex-Mex style brown sauce. It was filled with juicy, well-seasoned chicken and salsa. The tortilla did not fall apart too quickly in the sauce or get too soggy and it was covered with melted cheese. The ground beef of the hard-shelled taco was also well-seasoned and the meat was juicy. The hard-shelled corn tortilla was flaky, crunchy, and good-sized, which helped to keep all that meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese inside and intact as you bit into the taco without it falling apart. The plate was served with delicious rice and refried beans, along with both green and red salsas and complimentary chips and pico de gallo. The combination plate was solid: tasty, comforting, no-frills. The flavors were not something that "blew your socks off" but I would order both the taco and enchiladas again. The menudo, on the other hand, was a real pleasant surprise. This Mexican stew prepared with beef tripe is usually only served on the weekends. The red chili pepper and tomatoey base had a deep flavor and also had just the right amount of hominy and diced onions, and a garlicky essence. Good menudo always starts with the tripe. I noticed it was thoroughly cleaned and well prepared here from the taste and color. Cut into bite-sized chunks, the tripe was very tender and infused with the flavors of the broth and the hominy. It was not foul-smelling, slimy, or overly chewy which is often associated with bad or poorly cooked tripe. Chopped cilantro and lemon slices were provided to garnish and squeeze into the soup and served with piping hot flour or corn tortillas. It was delicious, maybe the best bowl of menudo I have had so far in Fresno. Family-owned and operated. You can tell the dishes are home recipes and served with a lot of pride. Excellent customer service and the prices are all very reasonably priced. Expect a long line during peak lunch hours. The restaurant also closes at 7 p.m., about an hour earlier than most other restaurants nearby. They open at 6 a.m., however, which makes them an ideal spot for both American-style breakfast or Mexican desayuno. read more

Country Fare Cafe - Oops, it was so good I don't get a picture of the before, it was perfect! Swear, It's almost a meal by itself! - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

my plate was good overall, i ordered the "divorced eggs" or "huevos divorciados". two eggs how you want them topped with chile verde and chili colorado, the eggs are "separated" on each side of the plate haha, also get potatoes, refried beans. i think the flavor was really good but the meat to the chili colorado was rubbery but the flavor was yummy. i think the flavor was really good but the chile verde sauce is very juicy like water and i dont like that. the salsa or chili in the bottle is really good too not hot just flavorful. this place is on belmont so be aware of that for the neighborhood where most people would park due to the small lot in the back is always packed and i dont want to get stuck back there with the terrible parking jobs some people do. read more
