It was Christmas day and most restaurants were closed in Fresno, so we decided to quickly get off…read morethe highway around downtown Madera and see if anything was open. Luckily we didn't need to drive far before we spotted this carniceria. Its parking lot was pretty full with many cars coming and going, which indicated that it was open. The store sold a variety of meat and snacks, much as what you'd expect from any other carniceria. But most people were here for the taqueria portion - you could get a box of cooked meat to go for ~$13-17 per pound, which was a pretty good deal. There were some tables inside the taqueria, but they were slightly dirty, and most people were just taking their food to go. We got a few quesadillas to share. They were huge and stuffed with well-seasoned chicken breast meat, and came with sides of rice and beans, or salad and avocado. The free salsa here was SPICY, and my mouth burned for a bit after consuming it. But overall the food was excellent and we left full and happy.

And then making comments in Spanish to your cook about customers in front of them is rude. Get another job because you obviously don't want to deal with customers and any of their requests. I've been coming here for YEARS and today was the first time I was treated rudely. I am not sure if I will be coming back honestly. The ladies that usually work here are never rude, but this new guy needs to get a new job asap he's going to hurt their business by making the regular customers mad and being rude to them when the ask for literally ONE thing.

I travel from Fresno to Sacramento many times throughout the year and I will be stopping here every single time. It's off the 99 freeway, the food is fresh and delicious, and the food is prepared quickly. There's a small space to sit and enjoy your food, while you listen to the liquor store tunes, which are 80's tunes. The customer service was great and the lady that took our order was really nice and attentive.

OK, so my family and I have probably been here over a 30 times since we moved to Madera 5 years ago…read moreand we can honestly say that the food and service has finally disappointed us. Our reviews have always been 5 stars and we've always raved about this place so trust me when I say that our last visit we be the LAST. Our visit consisted of being ignored at the drive-through window as my husband was ordering our food. The lady with a beauty mark/mole on her cheek, was taking our order and walked away from us two or three times while my husband was ordering. This was the moment my husband knew we would not be back. Of course I am a devils advocate and I said well maybe they're really busy (or I don't know if anything really justifies leaving your customer mid sentence). It took us longer than usual to get our food. My husband's burrito was extremely poor made. I had mostly rice and not much of anything else. My sope was good so can't complain there, but the tacos were not it. The tortas aren't the same either. The taste is not the same as we loved and the service is horrible. I don't know if we will ever be back. We can get over hit or miss food (sometimes) but I can't get over her walking away while my husband was ordering. She did not say a single word to us and just walked away. If you don't care enough to respect your paying customers, then you do not deserve our service. Bueno, mi familia y yo hemos venido más de 30 veces desde que nos mudamos a Madera hace 5 años y podemos decir honestamente que la comida y el servicio finalmente nos han decepcionado. Nuestras reseñas siempre han sido de 5 estrellas y siempre hemos elogiado este lugar, así que créanme cuando digo que nuestra última visita será la ÚLTIMA. Nuestra visita consistió en que nos ignoraran en la ventanilla mientras mi esposo estaba pidiendo nuestra comida. La señora con un lunar en la mejilla estaba tomando nuestro pedido y se alejó de nosotros dos o tres veces mientras mi esposo ordenaba. Este fue el momento en que mi esposo supo que no volveríamos. Por supuesto, soy abogada del diablo y dije bueno, tal vez estén muy ocupados (o no sé si algo justifica realmente dejar a tu cliente a mitad de la frase). Tardamos más de lo habitual en recibir nuestra comida. El burrito de mi esposo estaba extremadamente mal hecho. El burrito tenía casi todo arroz y poco de lo demas. Mi sope estaba bueno, así que no me puedo quejar de eso, pero los tacos no eran lo mismo. Las tortas tampoco son lo mismo. El sabor ya no es el mismo que nos encantaba y el servicio es pésimo. No sé si volveremos. Podemos pasar por alto que la comida sea irregular (a veces), pero no puedo creer que se haya ido mientras mi marido hacía el pedido. No nos dirigió ni una palabra y simplemente se fue. Si no les importa lo suficiente como para respetar a sus clientes, entonces no merecen nuestro servicio. *notice the grilled onions in the taco picture, like Are you kidding me?

The Molcajete was the standout dish of the night. It arrived sizzling hot and loaded with perfectly cooked meats, seafood, fresh vegetables, and a rich, savory sauce that tied everything together. It was hearty, flavorful, and easily one of the best Molcajetes I've had. The mussels were another favorite. Honestly, everything tasted like it came straight out of someone's mother's kitchen--in the best way possible. The food had that homemade, comforting quality that's hard to find these days. The portions were generous, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere had that cozy, family-owned feel that makes you want to come back again.

We were heading toward Yosemite and decided to stop here on a whim and I am so glad we did…read more The location was easy to find, and there was plenty of seating, so we were able to sit down right away. As soon as we looked over the menu, my mouth was already watering. We ordered the aguachiles verdes, the molcajete supreme, and I added a side of fries. When I say the food came out fast, I mean FAST, especially for food this fresh. The wait staff was attentive, friendly, and checked in just enough without being overbearing. The aguachile was honestly one of the best I've had. The green sauce was incredibly flavorful, perfectly balanced, and everything tasted fresh and vibrant. The molcajete supreme did not disappoint. The sauce was rich and delicious, and the portion of carne and shrimp was generous and very satisfying. You can tell care goes into the food here. And somehow, even the fries were amazing .... crispy, hot, and the perfect side. If you're passing through on your way to Yosemite, this place is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back.
