    Chicken nacho fries
    Vivi F.

    I've been wanting to try Salsa's Cantina in Clovis for a while, and this past weekend I finally got the chance while I was in the area. The place is super spacious, which I liked right away. When I walked in, I headed straight to the bar and grabbed a seat. I ordered a strawberry margarita and it was so good.. They also bring out chips and salsa, and the chips were nice and warm, which I always appreciate. For food, I went with the chicken nachos with fries. Honestly, the chicken was kind of bland and didn't have much flavor. The nachos and fries were just okay. I've definitely had better elsewhere. But I will say, the salsa they serve with the chips helped a lot. I threw that on top and it made everything taste way better. Overall, the place was just alright to me. I'd come back to try something else on the menu, but now I know I can skip the fry nachos next time.

    The dude and I came to Salsas as a few colleagues recommended it. We heard so many great things about how the food and drinks and had to try it. To start, I really enjoyed the chips and salsa, which is refreshing as they were complementary as nowadays some places charge for chips and salsa. Not here! The salsa is rich in flavor along with the addictive chips! Pairs well. We came about an hour before closing so was pretty empty qnd a large party just finished as we were being seated . I ended up getting the chile relleno plate. The Dude got the fajitas. I was able to try some of the vegetables of the fajitas which was packed full of flavor and crunch as sometimes overcooked vegetables can be very mushy. My plate can't go wrong at all. Loved the flavors and large portion sizes! Even the small salad was tasty. I ended up getting a blended cocktail. They are huge and it was a struggle for me to finish it. And that's a good thing as they are not skimping you out on the portion here. The staff was very friendly and enjoyable. Overall, we had a lovely time here. The food was tasty. Delicious I highly recommend definitely will be back.

    First off, the wait staff is delightful at a mid-week lunch. Gracious service. Immediate greeting. Care and attention to requests. I was delighted to learn they make their own tortillas. I ordered what they call "taco salad" with carnitas. It was served in a large fried tortilla, reminding me of a chalupa served for decades at El Toro Tambien which we have not been able to find since ET closed up shop. The carnitas surprised me...large chunks of pork, but cooked well. The room is large, and if it got crowded, might be noisy what with hard surfaces and high ceilings, but for a mid-week lunch, the ambiance was just fine for conversation.

    Carnitas

    Great time here! The service was quick and the food was great. The carnitas with the homemade tortillas was the best! The fish tacos were also great and strong margaritas! Love the rice and beans

    Had a great experience at Salsa's Cantina. We were seated promptly, and the drinks came out quickly. I ordered the posole, and my friend had the chile verde burrito. The food was very good, especially the handmade tortillas. Everything had great flavor, and we also really enjoyed the chips and salsa. Overall, a very enjoyable meal and great service.

    My favorite place to get a hot bowl of Albondigas! The vegetables were tender and flavorful. There were five meatballs, three corn tortillas, and the right amount of rice nd cabbage to fill it in. The chips are crunchy and fresh. The taco salad, which my honey ate, was filling and delicious. Our service was friendly and quick. The restaurant was nicely decorated with twinkling lights and a football game showing. A few couples, families and singles were enjoying a quiet meal in Old Town Clovis on a weekday evening.

    Rellenos de Res
    Cheryl V.

    Clovis-I was really missing Mex food, living in Florida, so we went to a local favorite in town. They did not disappoint!! Although the Cadillac margaritas were on the watered down weaker side, the specialty Chile Rellenos were SPECTACULAR!! We each tried a different style of the good ol Chile Rellenos! Rellenos De Queso with added beef. Rellenos De Mar and Rellenos De Res. All three were so packed full of delicious that we were raving for the rest of the night! The grilled shrimp were good perfectly with a bit of char on them. There were raisins and pecans on top of the Rellenos Res, they were chef's kiss! Portions are large with amazing beans and rice. Service was good but not overly attentive. Definitely will return when I'm back in California!

    Chile Relleno de Carne Molida
    Nate M.

    I'd come back just for the homemade tortillas and empanadas. I ordered the chile rellano plate. This pepper was stuffed with cheese, ground beef, and came with a side of tortillas. I thought this was weird, but once I tried these flour tortillas I was blown away. These were so good, that when I shared a bite with my wife, she immediately ordered two more... and then order another two for the road. They make all of their tortillas and empanadas dough in house! My sure Chile relleno was amazing and even though I was trying to get full, I ate the entire plate, which was massive! My wife loved her empanadas and my son especially loved his pozole. You can tell a Mexican restaurant is legit, by two different ways: 1) Their tortillas. Which I already said were amazing. 2) They're salsas and chile aka hot sauce. Salsa's hot sauce and salsa were both incredible. I couldn't stop eating the salsa that came with their chips and I asked for an extra side of their verde hot sauce. All of it was fantastic! We really loved the service and the friendliness of the staff and we especially loved the super chill vibe on a Sunday afternoon!

    This is a good spot for Mexican food in the Clovis area. Located in the main town area, it has ample street parking and dining tables. We went with a large group and had no issues accommodating us (11 people). The food was yummy and my favorite thing was the tortillas!!! They are house made and sooo delicious. Fajitas and chile verde plates were the favorite! Tasty and flavorful salasa as well!

    3 item combo
    Larry D.

    Out of the seven or so items we tried, the albondigas soup (though small for the price) was great and the carne asada quesadilla was good, as was the salsa. The enchilada sauce was oddly thick and the cheese inside was not melted. The chile verde was comically salty. The ground beef was tasteless, as was the rice. The refried beans were grainy. The shredded beef taco was ok, but in a pool of water. The service was great, but the meal ended with a check that had additional charges for cheese in the bean and cheese burrito and a credit card fee. Don't think we'll visit again.

    Flour Tortillas
    Lai W.

    We came here for lunch. It's a family owned restaurant. Its decor was chic in black and gold w/exposed brick walls and metal cutout art. The women's restroom was nice and clean. Anyhow, we were greeted and seated right away by a friendly staff member. I had the Carnitas w/flour tortillas, hubby had the Relleno de Mar also w/flour tortillas, and daughter had the ground beef enchiladas. Hubby and I were surprised by the white Spanish rice! I was a little concerned, but my fear was unfounded as it was very flavorful! The refried beans were delicious, too! My carnitas were tender and also very flavorful. I've never seen shrimp-topped Chili Rellenos before, but the shrimp were perfectly cooked. They were surprisingly spicy! Hubby ate all of his food! We all enjoyed our lunch.

I was in the mood for breakfast so I opted for the chorizo and eggs with beans and their homemade corn tortillas. Not great, but edible. The service was spotty as we had to order a side of corn tortillas from 3 different people with no success. I might come back to try more menu items , but from what I experienced on my first visit- it may be a while before I do.

I also sampled the carnitas on top of crispy taco shells as well. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the tortillas came out hot, fresh, and perfectly cooked.

Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed, but it also gives me a great reason to come back. What really stood out, beyond the food, was the hospitality. David, who appears to have been running the place for over 20 years, was incredibly charismatic and provided the kind of customer service that seems harder and harder to find these days. You can tell he genuinely cares about both the restaurant and the people who walk through the door.

There was a real sense of community here, as if customers weren't just patrons but part of an extended family. That kind of atmosphere is special and says a lot about the people behind the business. Great food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming environment--I'll definitely be back, hopefully on a weekend next time.

The gal that helped us didn't know how to add my points to their point system and had some issues with the register, she was OK. My wife has the chicken tacos I had the asada. We both left Mexican food, and we both feel that we are very fair when it comes to the food value and the taste. As far as the taste, the meat tacos were a little rough and gum like, probably from sitting out too long. The chicken tacos actually fell apart as my wife was eating them, and the chicken was very, very overcooked so again, probably sitting too long inside the burner. They do not have the right ABC license so you can't drink alcohol and eat hair even though you're sitting inside a liquor store. Overall an okay place, there's so many selections of Mexican food in Clovis, this one was so so.

The lid of the storage for the condiments itself was broken and the area wasn't attended to enough. Sauces were very low & overall messy. While trying to pour my sauces in a very very small container I had to hold the broken lid and swat off flies. That's a lot of work for my green sauce. Our food came out quickly with our drinks.
