My husband and I love to grab breakfast burritos from here! What's even better is that they let you pick two different meats to put into your burrito. They are a good size and the restaurant isn't stingy with the fillings. They have a salsa stand on the side so that you can fill up some small containers to take it with you. My biggest gripe with this place is the parking though. Every time I come here, there is no parking available. The spots in front of the laundromat have cones in the spots that they consider theirs. So be ready to take a little walk. This place is full of customers whenever I come by. That should tell you how good the food is. read more

I went in this morning and ordered a chorizo burrito. I got to work, which is 20 mins across town, with traffic. Once I started to eat my burrito, there were tiny pieces of eggshell (annoying) and no beans. I immediately called Melaque to inform them and the lady who answered said to come back. Since I was at work I sent my friend to pick it up and bring it back to me. Once he arrived the lady said they needed the burrito to replace it. This is ridiculous. Why would they want an eaten burrito to replace the one that's messed up?? Being across town for him to drive a total 20 mins of 4 times (to pickup my burrito, give back to them, bring back to me and they go back home). He told them this and all they said is how are you paying for the replacement burrito? Bad customer service. I've been coming here a decade and idk if I'll be going back. read more

This place is lit forsure, they are busy 24/7. At least every time I've gone when in the area, however their service is a straight miss. I get it, with such a high turnover, however, customer service is still a thing. A smile and welcome in. Instead the girl at the register was honestly a little rude and then when I asked for a customization on my burrito (take items OFF because I don't like them) she made it seem like I was asking for too much? Then began talking to the lady in Spanish and rolling her eyes as if she was irritated. Definitely uncalled for, but whatever. I won't be back to this location, if I ever do, it'd 100% be a phone order just for pick up. read more

Went camping to Sequoia from Los Angeles. My family and I stopped at this restaurant for breakfast before going up the mountains. I love menudo! This was by far one of the best menudo I have tasted. Very clean, no foul smell and the taste was spectacular! I love that they had chile de aceite and hand made tortillas. I absolutely recommend this restaurant. We went on a Sunday and it was VERY busy about 10am, something to keep in mind. Very much worth the wait. read more

Tacos Melaque is for real! I've heard so much about them but just now checking them out. Serving perhaps the most authentic Mexican food in Visalia. All the cooks were older Latinas. Mexican mom's and grandmother's run that Kitchen and it shows! Authentic Latinos make up their clientele. That's says something!! The refried beans may have been the best I've ever had outside of my mom's, mother-in-law's or wife's beans! a steady flow of Latinos. The sopes/huaraches were amazing. Freshly made, tasty and delicious! Tacos were great as well. Not your tiny street-style tacos but, but a large portion, lots of meat on freshly made tortillas. 2-3 and you have a meal vs a few of bites. Burritos are amazing. Menudo was surprisingly clean and without odor although one needs to season it a little. Otherwise great and served with fresh tortillas. This has immediately become a go-to. Con: not in a great location, parking not that great and not the best spot to dine in. The food doesn't disappoint-at least not their specialties. read more

We come for the Breakfast Burritos.. you can get just about anything in them!! I love Potato's, beans, chorizo, eggs, + cheese‍ Green Salsa is our Fav! Service has always been pleasant the times we went. The staff is always working hard in the back while briefly talking amongst each other. But definitely attentive to the customers! (Looks like they actually enjoy their job) & to me, that makes the ambience super friendly & welcoming read more

I normally buy menudo every Sunday but since you guys switched from Styrofoam to another container which is smaller and I'll pay almost $20 for a large menudo and it didn't even fill up a regular size bowl that I had at home it was all just juice!! And today is May 31st and I was wanting to go get some menudo cuz you guys have good menudo but not going to pay for the amount that you guys are giving now!! I wish I could add pictures to show you what I'm talking about cuz I did take pictures !! read more

One question: I just want to know why the community in this town hasn't given this place more reviews, because I was here visiting for the first time and found this place on yelp. Well, arrived to get some menudo because of the few reviews on yelp. This place was booming with people and the food was GREAT!!!!!! Looks like everyone enjoys this place because the line was consistent and they serve you LARGE portions! Awesome place for some really good Mexican food. Hand made tortillas were A+++++++++ read more

Alright peeps and the adventures of trying new food begins. So we decided to get a new puppy and we'll to waste time we decided to run some errands and then head out to eat. Well I was craving tacos and to be honest I've not found my best taco place till now. Driving 3 and 1/2 hrs to pick up a dog does work up an appetite what better to fuel up then amazing tacos. Well my son and I got tacos with hand made tortillas. Yes ladies and gentlemen you heard it right hand made tortillas. My son decided to get 4 carne asada tacos with everything and I decided to get a torta de milanesa and 2 al pastor tacos with everything. Let me break it down for you as far as what the caps and milanesa came with. The asada tacos came with handmade tortillas, asada cooked to perfection, onion cilantro and cabbage with amazing salsa. The torta de milanesa came with refried beans, melted cheese, jalapeños and beef milanesa. The 2 al pastor tacos came with cilantro and onions. When I say that omg the meat was so juicy it was super juicy nothing dry or recooked. I'm going to be honest with you the lady that hand made my tortillas knows her way around the kitchen give that woman a raise. Everyone when we came in greeted us and asked us what we wanted to eat. They served fountain drinks, bottled drinks, can sodas, and yes amazing yummy fresh water drinks. Coming into the restaurant the outside looked very clean. Inside the establishment no dirty dishes no funky smells it was overall an amazing experience but if you don't believe me check out the pictures of the food. The prices are very reasonable. P.s I took 5 tacos to go with handmade tortillas and yes I had to go with Al pastor. I put the tacos in the microwave the next day the tortillas still tasted fresh and the meat was still juicy. read more

I've had a lot of people rave about this place. It was good the first time I went but after that the food was too greasy and something was off. They have a good salsa bar with condiments. The restaurant itself is typical of a Mexican diner so there's no complaints there. read more

Not to mention it's always clean. Tables are always being wiped down . Safe to say, I'll be back then again I'm a regular read more

Great food tortillas actually made by hand if you're having tacos it does have its own parking indoor seating. However, the area is a bit rough be cautious especially with the homeless around the gas station nearby. Might not so much be an issue during the day but at night maybe more so if you're looking for good authentic food as far as tacos, tortas and traditional quick Mexican food goes it is a good spot. read more

Good food at a very affordable price . Not the best area . Go during the day or with someone else . Behind jacks gas on Dinuba blvd.

Amazing tacos, fast service. Friendly staff. Super affordable prices and environment inside always felt welcoming.

I have to say I am very picky when it comes to Mexican food . Being raise by a Mexican mother that cooked all 3 meal a day it made me so picky . But, trying this place changed my mind super good and friendly I've gone back 3 read more

I love love love the food and the service! Everyone that works there is so dedicated to doing a great job!

Solid tacos with very little wait. Can choose between traditional homemade tortillas or regular tortillas. We got the tacos with homemade tortillas and they were delicious! We got the Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Barbacoa tacos and all were excellent. Keep note that tacos de pescado are only served on Fridays! read more

We come here for the potato tacos amazing food great staff the women work really hard here and serve great food

This place was recommended to me by a friend at work. I'm not a big fan of eating tacos for breakfast but he talked about it so much that I had to come try it out after work. You know the place is authentic when everyone who works there is hispanic. And you know its good, when the majority of people eating there are also hispanic. I ordered 2 tacos (lengua and tripas), as well as their special for a Sunday which is a small bowl of menudo. Total came out to $15.60 which also included an aqua fresca. So overall not a bad price. Food came put in less than 10 minutes. Maybe it was because I was hungry, but it tasted amazing!!! The broth of the menudo had so many layers of flavor. Wasen't overly spicy or salty. It was really good. They had a large amount of protein in it as well. Small chunks to larger chunks of stomach. It was chewy but easily broke down when biting into it. I also got a large leg in the menudo and it was equally amazing. Cooked down so long that it was gelatinous and fell apart easily. Came with a side of onions and jalapeños as well as handmade tortillas. The tacos were also really good!! Handmade tortillas. You can really taste the difference between store bought manufactured tortilla and the ones that are handmade. The proteins were cooked amazingly. Flavors were on point. In the not so safe part of Visalia. But as long as the sun is up, I felt pretty ok. I can't wait to come back for their menudo and tacos as well as try their other menu items including their chilaquiles and sopas!! A definite winner in Visalia. read more

If you look at any of my 450+ reviews, you'll see that many are Mexican Food related. Not only am I on the hunt for the best local Mexican food, but specifically I am always searching for the best Menudo. Well, I think I have a top 3 Menudo spot for California. In no particular order, I think Birrieria Apatzingan in Tulare, Los Arbolitos in Visalia, and Tacos Melaque are the three best in California. The condiments and salsa bar is also very good. Parking isn't the best, but there is plenty of places to part along the street if the lot is full. My wife got a breakfast burrito and she liked it as well. I am going back today to try sopes and tacos for lunch, and Im sure it will not disappoint. To me, this food is exactly like the best Taco Truck style Mexican food, but in a spot you can sit down and eat indoors. Probably one of the better Mexican food restaurants in town, and that is saying a lot since there are dozens and dozens. read more

I went this afternoon to get a burrito de carne asada. I was really looking forward to eating it. I was disappointed, it didnt have much flavor, dry, and tasteless. I don't know if it was an off day or what, but I think I'll wait a while before I try again. read more
