    Pork belly taco

    Had some of the best tacos I've had in while here. Honestly topped some of the best taco joints I've had, even in LA, etc. Tried a trio of tacos including birria, brisket, and my favorite, the pork belly tacos. All served in home made tortillas, the quality I got topped most of the higher end end places I've experienced. Back to the pork belly tacos, they're prepped for 2 days and the end product is a must. Well balanced, pork melted in your mouth, and didn't taste/feel fatty. Check this place out!!!

    Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Plate
    Frank G.

    I would love to give SP's a 5 star review! They're definitely a high 4 star place for sure! But high prices and hit and miss customer service due to a language barrier is what really makes it hard to stick a 5 star rating. The breakfast plate was a very big surprise! The eggs were cooked a perfect sunny side up, the potatoes were nice and crispy, yet soft and paired well with the beans and the rest of the plate. It came with flour tortillas which also had a nice flavor. My "go-to" is usually an Asada Wet Burrito but I felt like changing it up a little bit! Glad I did! The Tortas here are also really good! But here's the kicker! Getting this place delivered is "EXPENSIVE!" For two entrees and a side of fries is around $50 bucks! Yes I know! They don't have any beverages to choose from either on the delivery side, but sure they have fountain drinks available at the restaurant. We tried going down there a few times to order and it was a complete mess! Most of the crew is more Spanish speaking and we aren't very fluent, which seemed to annoy the lady at the window taking our order. The feeling felt more "rushed" and like we were a "bother" for being there instead of being greeted and invited. So we just stick with delivery. For being called a Burger Place they really do make very good Mexican food! That's what's been keeping us coming back. If you do decide to come down here and order, just be patient, understand the language barrier might cause frustration on both ends but don't let it stop you from having a great meal!

    We stopped at SPS around 1pm on a Thursday. The lady at the window had a flat personality, almost annoyed at our presence, all business, but was quick to take our order and then disappeared behind a screen she quickly shut, which gave the impression she was also the cook. The menu is what you'd expect from a corner burger joint. My wife ordered a #1, Cheeseburger meal and I ordered a chicken strip basket. We also got fries each and a Pepsi each. The pepsi was sweet, clearly a fountain drink. The total was around 22 dollars. We sat at the outdoor benches directly in front of the order window. A grub hub delivery guy repeatedly stopped by to collect meals and continued on his way. We were soon joined by other patrons who paid and seated themselves at adjacent tables. It took about 13 minutes to receive our meals. Ketchup was provided in abundance, those little ketchup packets available everywhere fries are served. I was surprised by the lack of barbecue sauce, which they apparently do not stock or provide to patrons. A single, very small ranch dressing was provided. It didn't taste like anything and looked like mayonnaise with green flakes in it. The chicken strips were thick, crispy and flavorful and the fries were also perfect. My wife didn't praise the burger, but she didn't complain about it either. I believe they need to change their ranch recipe and provide barbecue sauce. I ate here once before and the barbecue sauce was good. This is the first mom and pop shop "burger stand" I've frequented in Visalia. I believe Super burger in Porterville is better all around. 3 stars for lack of sauce. I may eat here again someday, but it's not high on my list.

    Okay I don't know if I'm just getting lucky with the places I go to, but Sp's today, was out of this world. OUT OF THIS WORLD! Huevos Rancheros (spellcheck?) never had it before though, and what a great decision it was. At first I thought that was a tortilla under the Chile verde. Boy was I wrong. It was the fluffiest egg I've ever eaten, WHAT?! That flavor was like a tsunami hitting my taste buds when I took my first bite. My eyes got so big, I forgot I was a grown man for a second and dove right in like an infant to his first taste of a sugary substance. Don't even get me started on this potatoes, that's a novel in itself. I don't even know how they made them, what's in them to make the texture and taste so perfect, or why they even look this damn good, but guys, these potatoes blew me out of this world. The beans were of course good, they're beans after all. Nothin much to say other than that. The chili verde packed the perfect amount of spice, it was honestly amazing. Those tortillas are hand made right? They have to be. Either way, the damn tortillas were even amazing. I usually go to SP's when I'm bar hopping and wanna grab a quick burger, but we doordashed this time and of course the food arrived nice and hot, neatly with a nice message on the box. I do have one single complaint, and I'm not sure if this was the fault of SP's or Doordash so I can't blame either one, but my wife ordered a shrimp quesadilla , but instead came in the form of a wet burrito. She enjoyed it either way, and it looked damn good. Again, I'm not sure who's at fault here, but felt I needed to add that to the near perfect review. WE WILL be back (Arnold voice) and ready to dominate that menu once again, thank you SP's for such a delightful morning.

    Foot-Long Regular Hot Dog
    Gracie G.

    This place has everything you could thing of , hamburgers, tacos, hot dogs and much more . I got the regular hot dog and shared fries with my mom and it was so delicious. Totally recommend this to someone for a quick and cheap bite

    Victoria S.

    Was excited to try this place! Unfortunately, my burger was not the best. Hard bun with small patty. I ended up eating it without the bottom bun. The fries were good though and staff was friendly

    Birria Ramen

    Had many delicious tacos here but my first Birria Ramen. Everything on the menu is great and the staff are friendly.

    This review is for shaved ice only. Good size shaved ice for a great price. They did not scrimp on the syrup and you can choose up to 2 flavors. Tastes great on a hot day and I would definitely come back for another one.

    sp s burgers suck. they gave me some tiny ass tocotas however you say it, lol. but they gave me a "barria"? taco with literally, no. meat. like uhhhhh what. the. heck. looool hahaha. anyways i give this a one star because they really, robbed me. of my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they gave me a cup with water and can i not, tell me "oh i accidentally put strawberry lemonade in it" and didnt bother to take it out and give me a new cup. . #wap #nono - your friendly neighborhood karen.............

    The hidden gem for Mexican food in Visalia hands down, the pork belly tacos are perfection in every bite!!

I really like the meat they use for their tacos, they taste more premium and fresh than other places. I'm wimpy when it comes to spicy food so I always order no sauce on mine lol. Lately I've been ordering the loaded nachos with no beans! Super filling, it's really good if you you're looking for something snacky yet filling at the same time. Sign up for their loyalty program to earn points, get discounts, and get notifications on any deals they are having! I don't go inside often but when I do it's clean looking and feels spacious! I would give 5 stars but ordering "no beans" seems to always throw the entire staff for a loop. 50% of the time they mess up my order and I have to give it back and wait for them to remake it. Other than that everything is great! If they can get my order right more often I'd be more than happy to give them 5 stars!

    I think out of anything i want to get out of this review is how hurt i am as customer. This isn't a…read morereview about food, it's about an incident that occurred this afternoon. I had a delivery driver who also happened to pick up my orders from here. We got to talking about other spots in town and I mentioned this place and he says, "ohhh you're THAT Frank". Automatically I'm like "uh oh" lol. Now before you start wondering "two sides to every story"; here's mine. I order a burrito combo with a large limonada. I ask for my burrito with just meat and rice, sometimes onions. I ask for it to be grilled. I asked for (2) to (3) serrano peppers on the side. Before they "disappeared" off of GrubHub, they had a button on their page for sauces. They don't charge for them on the app and don't have a quantity cap, so i usually ask for around (4) to (5) green and the same in habanero. The burritos are big and I'm a salsa kind of guy lol. If 10 sauces overall is too much, then that's fine. At least give me something lol. I've been given (0) or (1) at times. My burrito is 50/50 sometimes grilled, sometimes not "mostly not", they will forget my drinks from time to time. When i ask the driver, they say they weren't given a drink. My food has come cold, the meat has been chewy and fatty. I've had to get refunds on orders because of the quality. So I always ask the drivers to make sure my drinks are there and my sauces are in the bag. But here I've been, coming back cause i was genuinely a happy customer more times than not. Then to randomly hear from a delivery driver who's picked up your orders from here before, you've been talked "sh$t' about. So much that he even contemplated telling me "DONT ORDER FOOD FROM HERE". This is a place you've given business to on a regular basis! It's disheartening and it hurts. My last review was even a good one lol. Needless to say I'm not coming back. Pretty messed up too, cause i was happy to see them come to town since i first encountered them in Bakersfield. Oh well.. talk all the crap you want now, hope you read this. I know one customer ain't no love lost. But now everyone will know how they're being treated behind their backs. Better places in town to find.

For 1 burrito and 1 taco with tip, came out to around $33. Don't do delivery from here. The Burrito was not very good. The meat was almost like ground beef in texture but also non existent at the same time. I tasted more beans than rice but even then, it was more of a soupy burrito with a tortilla that you had to rip at and hope each bite wouldn't undo the whole burrito. There was some kind of salsa inside it that wasn't apart of the description. It gave it an off flavor. Al Pastor taco was meh. The corn tortillas tasted homemade, which was nice. But the meat was stringy, kind of fatty and an off color almost a light orange. It tasted better than the asada but still wasn't very good. I do appreciate they followed my request for extra salsa, but these packs look like they come from a frozen dinner you get at the store. Absolutely off putting. The flavor was "ok" but nothing special. Overall, not worth it. $33 and I was left with an upset stomach. I had such high hopes! I haven't been in a long time and was hoping it would have been an amazing experience. I was wrong. I gave 3 stars cause I do appreciate them following the special instructions most other restaurants don't. But that still can't justify the food.

We were sat down with menus, given chips, salsa, and water, and told to place our menus at the edge of the table when ready. The server came by several times while we were still deciding, and when we finally told her we planned to split a burrito, she gave us an odd look and commented that it "might be a reasonable size to share." Shortly after, she returned to inform us that we had been given the wrong menus and that every item was actually $2.99 more than what we had been reviewing--something completely unprofessional and misleading. To make matters worse, when I asked about happy hour, she flat-out said they didn't have one, yet I later found multiple reviews online mentioning happy hour specials. That means she either didn't know or wasn't being honest. Between the dismissive service, the sudden price change, and the lack of transparency, we decided to walk out. This was a frustrating and disappointing experience, and I would strongly advise others to avoid this restaurant.

The portions have gotten noticeably smaller, however the prices continue to rise. What you are served is definitely not worth what Azul's charges you. This place used to be a regular go-to spot for myself when I am in Visalia, which is quite often. My sister & her husband were weekly regulars there & were (allegedly) friends with the owner. The last several times I've been there for a meal with my sister & BIL the owner has come over to say hello, but she has not seemed genuine or at all happy to see my sister & BIL. Instead, her "hellos" & the quick small talk that is expected of an owner greeting their regulars seemed incredibly forced & just completely inorganic. It was like she did not want us there, found it annoying that we were there, & did not appreciate our business at all. That made me feel very uncomfortable. The last time my family was there, it was my sister, mother, & their friend (a Visalia local) that were dining in. My mother picked up the check & paid by debit card & rounded up the just under $70 bill to $90 for the tip. When she looked at her bank statement a few days later, she discovered that the server had charged $100. My mom called my sister, who told her to call the owner & let her know what happened to make it right. They were trying to give the benefit of the doubt, but at the same time knew the chances of an experienced server mistaking a 2-digit total for a 3-digit total is highly unlikely. When my mother called the restaurant to speak to the owner, she kept my mother waiting on hold for the longest time. After the owner finally did come to the phone, she was very rude to my mom: didn't say hello or ask how she was. The owner completely dismissed the occurrence, saying that the server who ran the card was one of her best girls & longest employees & that there was no way that could have happened. The way she spoke to my mother, it was like she was trying to make my mother feel like it was her fault, & was making an issue out of nothing. My mom assured her that she had copies of the receipt with the correct total, to which the owner rudely said something like "okay, so what now? You want the $10 back?" completely dismissively. My mother tried to be polite--as this was a "friend" of my sister's & my sister & BIL were still at that point regulars--so she said the next time they came in to dine, they could discount that tab by $10. Obviously, that never happened. When my BIL found that out, he & my sister both decided they would no longer give their business to such a place. None of us have been back since. I do not recommend eating here. You will get mediocre food at an expensive price tag. Plus you will run the risk of dishonest servers over tipping themselves under the protection of an owner who clearly does not care & puts her customers down. If this was the experience of regular customers, I can only imagine how the non-regulars are treated...

There was no odor this time and it is an older establishment that actually was a house at one time. If you sit in the back area you can still see the crown moldings of the living area. We ordered the Marlin Empanadas- there is 4 to an order ($12). I wish I cut one so that you can see in the picture that it definitely is Marlin. Marlin is red flesh and I've fished in Cabo San Lucas and caught marlin and it's not the best flavored fish as it is dense and very oily. This definitely tasted like I remembered the last time I caught a marlin! Still this was good as I don't see marlin on the menu much so I usually order shrimp empanadas. We ordered Cooked Seafood Molcajete- Shrimp, octopus, crab, fish, and mussels. It came out boiling hot and I'm going to post video of the clay pot so you can see that it comes out hot from the kitchen!! Ordered a side of whole beans and homemade corn tortillas. Yes they do have homemade corn tortillas here and I definitely recommend! They also have a Tomahawk steak served with shrimp ($75) that I hear is a good seller!! Come support this restaurant!

How was this almost $20 ($15 + Svc fee) I immediately took a photo and called the restaurant. Our server, Adriana, asked me to text the picture to the # I was calling +1 (559) 830-4004 so the manager could approve a refund. I did exactly as instructed, and they did respond after reviewing picture and said they would issue refund... but despite following up multiple times, no one ever processed my refund or even responded. Considering how expensive the food is here (plus added service fees), it's really disappointing to be treated with such unprofessionalism. All I expected was accountability and a resolution for an order that was clearly incomplete. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and customer care has left a very negative impression, and I don't plan to return.
