Nicely decorated and spacious restaurant with plenty of tables and booths. The food was a little disappointment. My pastor tacos were dry and difficult to eat my experience with Pastor tacos in the past has been very juicy and full of flavor that was not the case today at this restaurant. My dining companion had an enchilada plate and said it was average and not much flavor Super friendly folks and average food. I visited with a friend who lives in Clovis and he raved about the food, so I may have just made a poor selection. He raved about the.Bierra de Chivo and the torta ahogada - so I may have to come back next time I'm in the area and try those dishes because there are so many favorable reviews.

I would have given it three stars except that Buddy Holly used to eat there. The Burger was good,…read moreas was the malt, but the fries tasted of stale oil were quite soft. The steak fingers were of a perfectly serviceable quality, not unpleasant but not particularly enjoyable either. The gravy was gravy, but not particularly flavorful gravy. But I don't mean to come across as too harsh- the burger and malt were good enough to raise up the number of stars from two to four, because the malt had a very good icy tone without losing any of the thick chocolatey flavor. The burger was not too much food, but what was there was very good. The green chile was not too spicy, which I wish it was, but I suppose it never said it would be, so, alls well thats honest. The meat itself was very flavorful. The service was fantastic, and the staff was polite and pleasant. The ambiance was good, perhaps not great, but still quite good. I would recommend it not for the food but for the experience, and I would not recommend the steak fingers, fries, or gravy, but I would recommend the chocolate malt and the Green Chile Burger.

I have eaten at and enjoyed the Clovis location, but am currently in a motel in Portales. I should have driven up to Clovis. I ordered a Juanito's Deluxe. Chile rellano, taco, enchilada, chalupa, beans, rice and grande sopapillo. I asked for green sauce on the side, not poured over. It was provided correctly. Back at the motel, I opened the bag containing my dinner. I was provided a bag of chips and a cup of salsa that neither asked for nor wanted. HOWEVER. My Granda Sopapilla was missing. As were eating utensils and napkins. I called and was told I could come back for the sopapillo. Twice. I am not leaving my motel and driving back to rectify your mistake. The bean chalupa was good, the taco was so-so as the meat was dry and tasteless. As I don't choose to eat the rest with my fingers, I can't judge their taste. *** When paying, I would have preferred not to be asked if I wanted to leave a tip. Please just give the customer either the credit card machine or the receipt and let us discretely provide a tip. The 3 workers and the customer in line behind me do not have a need to know.
