This place is always packed, and for good reason. I can't think of a single person I know that DOESN'T love the food here. It's authentic, pretty cheap, and tastes really good. I'm a lifelong fan. One of the best parts of living in Madera is the fact that there is some great Mexican food places, and Sal's is among the best! :) read more

Greasy tasteless Mexican food. if you like lard, big but not tasty , This is the place. Enjoy

This place was great. Lunch on Christmas eve for 9 people. They dont take reservations but we were able to get a table. The food was delicious and the portion sizes are huge. The hard shell tacos were extra crunchy. The refried beans had just the right amoumt of salt. The drinks were huge and maybe free refills? This place was very fun and ill definitely be back! Other locations near Fresno as well. read more

A madera classic. It's not my favorite Mexican food in madera but it's definitely delicious! I went through a phase where all I wanted to eat was the vegetarian tostada and a cheese enchilada. Soooo good. Just be prepared when you go there because you will probably see someone you know and whatever you order will be covered in cheese! Hahaha so good. read more

This place is great! Fresh chips and salsa when you get seated! Food was good size portions and with great authentic Mexican taste! Will definitely go back! read more

BEWARE THE FLIES!!!! I would have given them a higher rating because they're food is actually good. But the fact that there were so many flies in the restaurant I will never go back unless they take care of they're fly problem. Disgusting when you have to pay to dine with a swarm of flies (usually the front two large round booths are swarming with flies) read more

Great food! The chips and salsa are bomb! Chili Verde Nachos on point and the veggie quesadilla is awesome!

Me & my husband go every Sunday after church & the staff has been pretty good but for about the last month the Service has been horrible & its not even busy there's 1 girl really cute must be in her early 20s & she's super nice trys her best & rushes but there's 1 older Lady probably the manager of the waitresses & she always looks pissed off doesn't want to be there always makes comments when we order or when we ask for something like we're bothering here well Lady you don't want to work then quit. & I always give the benefit of the doubt I was a waitress myself for 10 years so believe me I know what it's like. Madera doesn't really have a lot of sit down Resturant so we take what we can get but maybe it's time to move to another Resturant or go to the original Sale in Selma. read more

My hubby and I recently moved to Madera from the Bay Area . We were celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary . And wanted to have Mexican food. Well so delighted we took a chance on Sal's . Great Food...Loved my Chili Verde and Mango Margarita ( yummie & refreshing ). Looking forward returning for more dinners or lunch read more

Very disappointed. Service was fine. Ladies up front were great even though one of them forgot my credit card twice. That was forgivable. The food was not forgivable. Cheap rice and beans and both my entree and my wife's was not good. The taco she had was filled with rotten beef. I didn't believe her until I took a bite. The rest of the food was just not flavorful. Not sure how this place stays in business. I won't be going back. read more

our must stop when driving in from Sac to Fresno...the salsa is amazing. fajitas are killer...get beef and ask for chili verde sauce to top it with. read more

I always get their enchilada suizas, and I put salsa over the top of everything and mix it together and eat with chips...delish

Good music and good entrees all around. Really tasty. Dont care so much about their rice and beans, seem to be missing some flavor. Always good service. Can be a bit packed at times, wish they had a bigger seating area. read more

I have to say we have become regulars to Sals on so many occasions. We absolutely love the food and have always been well taken care of. We even have rented their party room for a Christmas party and the staff did an awesome job taking care of us. I can't even count the number of times we have gone in and got their party trays for school birthday parties and parties at our house. Our guests have loved their food and have welcomed the change from always getting pizza. Great Job Sals, Keep it up. read more

Sal's is great. We've had some really good meals here. Unfortunately, the fajitas are disappointing hence the knocked off star. They do not come out on a sizzling skillet and therefore get cold quickly. Additionally the portion is not as big as you would expect. For the price, the combinations of 1,2, or 3 entrees are a much better choice. Also, the Chile Verde Enchiladas with chicken... AMAZING. The chips and salsa are very good. Love the Rice and beans. read more

The food is great, the prices are reasonable but it's the customer service that has kept us coming back year after year.

Great food and service! The staff is fast and friendly! The salsa is the best! I have traveled a lot and tried Mexican food restaurants all over and this is one of the best! I am big on service as I am in the hospitality industry and Sal's is top notch! read more

I'm new to the area and found this place to be Amazing! authentic delicious Mexican food. Prices are right & serving portions are generous. great service too! I'm a chips&salsa girl so as I kept eating the servers/hosts/workers made sure it was always refilled. lol. this will be my go-to place when craving Mexican food. read more

This is the first time I have been back since my original review in 2011. Nothing much has changed here, but they do now have Carne Asada. In fact I had the Asada soft tacos for lunch. Pretty good. read more

Sal's is one of my favorite Mexican food places in the Fresno-Madera area. Food is tasty, volume is large enough and price is reasonable. A great place for both lunch and dinner. read more

Oh my! Fantastic food and service. You know, when you have Mexican food, the beans and rice are just a side dish. But I could honestly have an entire plate of just beans and rice, Sal's is so good! Oh yes, the shrimp tacos and shrimp enchiladas are amazing too. read more

Some decent food. They're always busy it seems. Good service but can become a flop at times. Sometimes we can get in quick but one time we got seated and no server was assigned to serve us we waited an hour sitting there. I like their chile verde plate most. read more

I have family from out of town and Everytime they come to madera we HAVE to eat at sal's! My favorite is the flour tortilla cheese enchilada. It's amazing! And the salsa is to die for!! read more

Great food must make a trek back there!!! Must have the chili verde burrito fancy is a great meal!

If you want Mexican food with great service, then you come to the right place! Food is a bit pricy but when you want homemade Mexican food, you will not mind! Always busy on the weekends! read more

Great service and friendly smiles!! I liked the yummy shrimp tostada, chips and salsa. If I'm ever in town again I'll be back. Even the manager came to my table to say hello and ask about my lunch. read more

Super good food. The salsa might be worth the stop alone. The chips are great also. Super authentic and super good Mexican food. I found it by accident but it was worth it. read more

One of my favorite restaurants! They serve an amazing shrimp cocktail and their fancy burrito is delicious! Always busy when I stop in but the service is never lacking. read more

Best Mexican food we have ever eaten, and we are Mexican food experts!!!! Lol. Get the Fancy burrito, 1/2 Chile verde and 1/2 Chile con carne. Wish I could give it 100 stars!!!!! read more

The food has little flavor. Over the years there has only been one dish that I enjoy, the fancy buritto. Taco bell would be a cheaper and wiser choice. read more

Horrible service. We were seated and forgotten for about 15 minutes while the waitresses did nothing. After another table was seated after us I called the waitress over. I asked the waitress if we were going to be helped. The waitress looked lost at which point my wife and I walked out of the restraunt. HORRIBLE SERVICE. read more

I just had some of the best chicken enchiladas suiza at Sal's. The chips and salsa were delicious, the service was great, food came out quickly, and the manager asked several times if everything was good. Definitely will be dining here again! read more

Sal's Mexican Restaurants - Chicken enchiladas suiza. - Mexican Near Me - Madera, California

I'm normally a taqueria kind of guy, but sometimes you just want to power through a bunch of free chips and salsa. Service was great, prices weren't bad, and the food was good, even if it didn't blow my socks off. Tried the "fancy burrito" 1/2 pork 1/2 beef. I'd go full Verde next time. read more

Very good service, and fresh flavorful food. They also provide a very clean environment. Although I was disappointed they did not have Jamaica nor horchata, the environment made up for it. Over all in my opinion Sal's is a wonderful place to eat, highly recommend! read more

The food is great! I had taco and chicken enchiladas hubby had fried chimmi so good! Chips and salsa is killer :) Dog friendly patio as we enjoy taking our doggie with us. We will be back! read more

This was the first time it took my waitress over 10 minutes to come take my order. Why? Because she was busy and they had lots of take out orders for their delicious food. That's why. No one is lazy here. They're not parked behind the counter, texting, or flirting. And if you need anything at all, you can wave at any worker. They don't give you that "WHAT??" face but help you, with a smile. Sal's, thanks for the delicious tacos and chile verde burrito--plentiful portions also. Most of all, thanks for training the staff "old school" which is making us feel like family, and not just business clients. read more

Food was good as always. But service A--Ayy.

My son and I love Sal's. we go whenever we are in the area. Great service and great chicken enchiladas. He is the salsa expert and theirs is # 1 !!! read more

The service was great - we were greeted promptly, chips n salsa placed on table quickly, and drink orders taken right away too. We were disappointed with our food because it was overly salted. And the large $8 guacamole portion seemed small and was missing "zing". read more

Really great restraunt. I always seem to be enjoying their salsa and chips, which is s amazing. Chile verde is one of my favorite things to order, but recommend anything that involves beans and rice in the meal. read more
