They have Mexican bottled drinks and fountain drinks. Also they have horchata and Jamaica aguas frescas. They salsas are good too. They have red spicy, red mild, green mild and pico de gallo.

I don't think I've ever felt betrayed by Yelp reviews...until now…read more During a recent road trip we stopped here to picked up some lunch/dinner because tacos are quick and easy and their Yelp rating is high. Location/services: Upon entering the building I immediately noticed the heat. It was a hot 98 degree day and the restaurant felt like an oven and was maybe 3-5 degree cooler than it was outside. I then quickly noticed this was a very simple operation (almost like a food truck), and not much to the menu, but there were folks sitting and eating and a few others waiting to order, so I assumed the food must be great. We ordered 4 meals (tacos with rice/beans) which was meant to be eaten there but after waiting in line and feeling like we were in a hot box, we decided to make it to go. We sat and waited for our food (about 20 mins), we chatted and observed our surroundings and it became very apparent the restaurant was not maintained with basic cleaning because it was very grimy and just plain dirty. I then used the restroom and it was absolutely disgusting. Our ordered was called and the staff was very nice. The food: As I mentioned, we got 4 orders of tacos (all carne asada) with rice/beans, and we asked for salsa and limes. We got grilled jalapenos, lemons and one sandwhich baggy filled with red salsa. Not a big deal. The meat was fine but the tortillas were inedible. They were tough, flavorless, and greasy. The bean and rice were ok. We ate enough to curb our hunger but none of us finish our food. Upon my best judgement, I had convinced myself that the food was gonna be great because their Yelp rating told me so. I was so wrong! One last note, there was nothing here that resembled a bakery/panaderia. So if you think you could also grab a treat here, you are wrong.

What could have been a disappointing surprise turned into one of the best local dining experiences we've had in a long time. We had the pleasure of meeting Miguel himself, and his hospitality immediately stood out. He took the time to introduce us to several items on the menu and encouraged us to try a little bit of everything. I'm glad he did. The red beans and rice were absolutely phenomenal, and every single thing we tasted was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with pride. You can tell Miguel genuinely cares about both the food and the people he serves. What impressed me most wasn't just the food--it was the atmosphere. Miguel has a gift for making you feel welcome. His heart for hospitality is second to none, and it's obvious that serving great food and creating a great experience are his top priorities. If you're looking for a hidden gem in Clovis, this is it. Whether you're stopping in to catch a game, grab a meal with friends, or enjoy a simple flip-flop date night with your spouse, Miguel's is worth the visit. We'll definitely be back, and I can't recommend this place enough.

Housed in a former MOD Pizza, it features a spacious dining room with plenty of tables and chairs, along with a sizable patio strung with café lights that creates a welcoming atmosphere. Although Don Pepe is often celebrated as a no-frills, hole-in-the-wall taqueria serving authentic Mexican food, I actually prefer this location because of its roomy layout. It is also noticeably less crowded than the Blackstone Avenue location near Gettysburg Avenue or the Woodrow Avenue restaurant across from Fresno State, making for a more relaxed dining experience. While Don Pepe is best known for its shrimp and fish tacos, combination plates, and other seafood specialties, I almost always find myself ordering something filled with carne asada or pollo asado. As soon as you walk in, the aroma of the meats grilling in the kitchen fills the restaurant and immediately whets your appetite. The carne asada is made with thinly sliced, good-quality beef that is smoky, deeply savory, tender, and juicy, with beautifully charred edges that add even more flavor. The pollo asado is equally impressive. It is juicy, tender, moist, and caramelized from the grill, with just the right amount of char to give it a delicious smoky finish. One detail I especially appreciate is that the tacos and burritos are topped with whole pinto beans, a style commonly found in Northern Mexico. The beans are creamy, rich, and deeply savory, tasting as though they have been slowly simmered with bacon and onions, much like frijoles charros. While this style is less common in much of California, I enjoy seeing it here because it adds another layer of flavor and authenticity. The tacos themselves are enormous, generously filled with meat and beans. With prices starting at around $3 each, they offer outstanding value. The housemade salsa bar is another highlight, with fresh, vibrant salsas ranging from smoky and earthy to intensely spicy, offering something for every palate. Service has always been friendly, fast, and efficient. I am a fan of Don Pepe's consistently delicious food, and this Clovis location strikes an excellent balance of flavor, quality, generous portions, speedy service, and a spacious, comfortable dining environment.
