Their portions are big and very satisfying. We always get the same thing because we love it. Asada tacos, shrimps tacos, quesadillas, and vegan torta. The tacos like I mention before asada meat it's very tender and very tasty, so flavorful. The shrimp tacos come in flour tortilla and they have Mexican rice and cheese. My husband live them. Their asada tacos are with corn tortilla and some beans. Then you add your choice of salsa. I get the torta which they add the refried beans, avocado, and onion and fresh tomato. It is very good. They have Mexican bottled drinks and fountain drinks. Also they have horchata and Jamaica aguas frescas. They salsas are good too. They have red spicy, red mild, green mild and pico de gallo. They have 4 locations now. This place is very popular. Highly recommend.

I don't think I've ever felt betrayed by Yelp reviews...until now…read more During a recent road trip we stopped here to picked up some lunch/dinner because tacos are quick and easy and their Yelp rating is high. Location/services: Upon entering the building I immediately noticed the heat. It was a hot 98 degree day and the restaurant felt like an oven and was maybe 3-5 degree cooler than it was outside. I then quickly noticed this was a very simple operation (almost like a food truck), and not much to the menu, but there were folks sitting and eating and a few others waiting to order, so I assumed the food must be great. We ordered 4 meals (tacos with rice/beans) which was meant to be eaten there but after waiting in line and feeling like we were in a hot box, we decided to make it to go. We sat and waited for our food (about 20 mins), we chatted and observed our surroundings and it became very apparent the restaurant was not maintained with basic cleaning because it was very grimy and just plain dirty. I then used the restroom and it was absolutely disgusting. Our ordered was called and the staff was very nice. The food: As I mentioned, we got 4 orders of tacos (all carne asada) with rice/beans, and we asked for salsa and limes. We got grilled jalapenos, lemons and one sandwhich baggy filled with red salsa. Not a big deal. The meat was fine but the tortillas were inedible. They were tough, flavorless, and greasy. The bean and rice were ok. We ate enough to curb our hunger but none of us finish our food. Upon my best judgement, I had convinced myself that the food was gonna be great because their Yelp rating told me so. I was so wrong! One last note, there was nothing here that resembled a bakery/panaderia. So if you think you could also grab a treat here, you are wrong.

This place is officially bookmarked for every future drive through Fresno!…read more The lengua and chicharrón tacos were honestly some of the best I've ever had. 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. Every bite reminded me why simple food done right is hard to beat. I was hoping to try the mojara frita, menudo, and barbacoa, only to find out the menudo and barbacoa are weekend only specialties. 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. One of my favorite parts of the visit was when I saw the owner come out and greet the regulars and customers. The interactions felt sincere and heartfelt, not forced. 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.

What could have been a disappointing surprise turned into one of the best local dining experiences we've had in a long time. We had the pleasure of meeting Miguel himself, and his hospitality immediately stood out. He took the time to introduce us to several items on the menu and encouraged us to try a little bit of everything. I'm glad he did. The red beans and rice were absolutely phenomenal, and every single thing we tasted was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with pride. You can tell Miguel genuinely cares about both the food and the people he serves. What impressed me most wasn't just the food--it was the atmosphere. Miguel has a gift for making you feel welcome. His heart for hospitality is second to none, and it's obvious that serving great food and creating a great experience are his top priorities. If you're looking for a hidden gem in Clovis, this is it. Whether you're stopping in to catch a game, grab a meal with friends, or enjoy a simple flip-flop date night with your spouse, Miguel's is worth the visit. We'll definitely be back, and I can't recommend this place enough.

Miguel sells his auntenthic mexican food and Lisa sells her favorite sweet treats. By far on the market, they sell pretty bomb salsa! It's not like the generic salsa from store bought one, it's just like the unique homemade family recipes. And trust me, these are not as supper vinegary. I love Miguel's salsa! Miguel's message was to serve his community and bring his tradition to the table. He brought the flavors of Michoacan and Jalisco Mexico which were passed down from the Segura family. SERVICE :: I love Miguel's service! He personally serves you and greet you there. He offered me free chips and salsa while i wait. They were quiet busy but get things done quickly too. RATE : 5/5 SALSAS & CHIPS - COMPLIMENTARY:: His salsas and chips were the best thing I've ever recieved. He serves his famous red and green salsa with a little bit of ground beef on top. They go so well together. RATE : 5/5 RED SALSA :: It's hard to describe it here but it's roasty burnt salsa full of flavors. Not too vinegary. You just got to try it in person. RATE : 5/5 GREEN SALSA :: I personally love the green sauce more, in general. And still Miguel's green salsa still beats the red salsa. I can taste all of the greens and fruit in it. It may be advertised mild but the heat is there. It's about almost the same spice level as the red salsa. RATE : 5/5 ASADA TACO ($3.49) :: Besides his salsa, his tacos were amazing too. It's well seasoned, unique, and full of flavor. The asada is something that I've never tasted before. It's very herby, well seasoned to taste, juicy and tender! RATE : 5/5 TACOS DORADOS ($4.49) :: The tacos dorados were something different from what I've had before and were absolutely delicious. This taco reminds me of birria. The texture and flavor were also amazing. I asked for pork, it was supper moist, tender and juicy full of flavors. The cotija cheese brings a nice dry and light cheesy taste to it. And lastly, those pickled jalapeno just give a pop of juicy, sour, and spicy flavor. RATE : 5/5 PISTACHIO CREAMES ICED MATCHA (16oz - 6.49) :: Lisa use Tenzo brand. I've used and tried Tenzo before and it's hard to ratio the matcha. Over portion Tenzo match will be too bitter and too little too diluted. And yes, Lisa's Matcha was on the diluted side. The pistachio flavoring is light and taste artificial. The sweetness level is perfectly sweetend. Not too sweet. RATE : 2/5 NOTE : Spend anything above $50, get a $5 dollar off voucher for the next purchase. OVERALL :: Overall, it's a hidden gem that's definitely worth checking out! Don't forget his salsas, he do sell them on the side. I'll definitely go back for more and try his other menu!

Every town has one: the cursed location, the storefront that kills whatever moves into it. Ours is…read moreat Bullard and Palm, where a coffee shop held on until the 90s and the space has cycled through tenants ever since, the way other buildings cycle through paint colors. When the newest occupant opened to decent reviews, it was time to test the curse in person. We were seated promptly. After that? Nothing. Menus, but no water. Staff moving about with a practiced ability to see every table except ours. Five minutes became ten. Ten became fifteen. My wife and I exchanged the look, the one married people don't need words for. We stood up and walked out. The curse lives on. On the drive that followed, we did what you do when the experiment fails: you go to the control group. Our control group sits at Maroa and Shields, west of the Manchester Mall, in a stretch of Fresno suspended between former glory and a gentrification that keeps not arriving. It doesn't feel unsafe, exactly. It feels forgotten, which is a different thing, and which makes what's inside the small building matter more. Inside, Tacos el Premio Mayor is mostly kitchen. A few tables line the right wall, close enough to the cooking that the room runs a few degrees warmer than you'd expect. The flat-top heats the dining room the way a wood stove heats a cabin. The heat runs figurative, too: they'll build your order at whatever spice level you're brave enough to claim out loud. Above the tables, a mural: the family's food truck, and over it a cartoon man, grinning, hoisting two trophies. On the left, where a short counter with stools once stood, a sheet of clear Lexan blocks off the space, a leftover fossil of the Covid years that nobody has gotten around to removing, or maybe nobody wants to. Some scars a place just keeps. Order the gordita-style tacos. The shell sits somewhere between a tortilla and a sope; the closest reference most people will have is the fry-bread tacos at the fair. It's fried until it takes on a light sheen of oil and a fluff a regular tortilla can't manage. That fluff pulls double duty: light texture against the dense asada stacked on top, and it absorbs, soaking in the salsa and the meat's juices the way a tortilla never could, so the flavor ends up in the bread instead of running down your wrist. There's a trade-off. The thickness that makes the shell so good makes it stubborn. It won't fold like a proper taco, and every bite becomes a small structural negotiation. Instead of a diner you become an impromptu civil engineer, deciding where to grip, what angle, how much you're willing to lose to the plate. Judge right and you get a perfectly balanced bite. Judge wrong and you wear a bit of your meal. You order at the Lexan, and taped to it is a photograph: a young man on a baseball field at night, holding a trophy. The same man from the mural. Adrian Loza used to say he'd worked at El Premio Mayor since he was ten. By 2015 he was leading the charge when it swept the Fresno Grizzlies' Taco Truck Throwdown, taking both the judges' award and the fans' favorite in front of thousands. Two trophies, one night. It was the win that put the name in front of a Fresno that might otherwise never have ventured south of Shaw to find it. He died on January 23, 2016, the day before his mother's birthday. Rain had muddied his usual jogging route, so he ran the railroad tracks instead, headphones on. He was struck by a train. In the weeks after, the community the family had been feeding for years fed them back, raising more than $8,000 toward the funeral. The restaurant is still run the way he grew up in it, by the family, which may be the most durable memorial a place like this can offer. The rest of the menu scales to your ambition: standard tacos, about $3 each, the right entry point if taqueria food is new territory; burritos for bigger hunger, $11 to $14, dry, drowned wet, or, for the committed, wrapped entirely in bacon; tortas in the same range, for anyone who wants these flavors in a format their hands already understand; and a corn dog, which will save you if you've brought small children, but which nobody has ever driven to a taqueria hoping to find. Nobody inherits a favorite taqueria; somebody in your life once gambled on it. But the search has a failure rate, and some days you pay it, sitting unwatered in a cursed unit while the staff perfects the art of not seeing you. Those days remind you what the reliable place is worth. You will walk in a little irritated at the day. You will leave having forgotten why. It is something like coming home, which is fitting for a restaurant that is, at every level, a family. I'm no linguist, but "el premio mayor" translates to something like "the grand prize," or jackpot tacos, depending on how confident your Spanish is feeling. In 2015, at a stadium a few miles up the road, the name became literal. It's been accurate every visit since.

the food here is actually really good and that's what makes the overall experience frustrating…read more birria tacos on the weekend are worth the trip alone. rich, messy, the consomé is on point. when the kitchen is firing everything is exactly what you want from a Mexican breakfast spot in Fresno. but getting there is a whole thing. the line can be brutal and the wait doesn't always match up with how long you actually end up waiting once you're inside. organization feels loose and if it's busy things can get chaotic fast. I've had mornings where everything went smoothly and others where I stood around confused about whether my order was even being worked on. closes at 3pm so the window is limited and they really do get slammed during peak hours. the space isn't huge which adds to the pressure. service is friendly when you can get someone's attention but staffing seems stretched thin a lot of the time. the food genuinely deserves better execution around it. if you go, go early, be patient, and know that what eventually hits the table is worth some of the hassle. I keep coming back for the birria which tells you everything. just wish the experience around it was more consistent.
