My girlfriend and I decided to try Tacos Y Tortas Chalio's after she mentioned they had great drinks at reasonable prices, and overall we had a good experience. The restaurant offers both dine-in and takeout service. There isn't a host stand, so you simply walk in and let them know whether you're ordering to go or dining in. The dining room was comfortable. It wasn't the coolest restaurant temperature-wise, but it wasn't uncomfortably warm either. The highlight of the visit was easily the michelada. It came with chamoy and Tajín on the rim, a tamarind straw, shrimp, cucumber, and a lemon wedge, all seasoned with Tajín. The presentation was excellent, and more importantly, it tasted fantastic. It's easily one of the better micheladas I've had in the area. For food, I ordered a vampiro with asada along with tacos featuring chile verde, carnitas, al pastor, and asada. The vampiro was different from the ones I've had in Mexico, but it was still very flavorful and came loaded with beans, meat, cilantro, and onions, plus grilled onions and a pepper on the side. The tacos were also very good and came with grilled onions, peppers, and lemon wedges. My girlfriend ordered the mixed molcajete with avocado on the side. The portion was huge, and there was enough left over for another meal the next day. Everything we tried was flavorful and well prepared. The biggest issue during our visit was service, though I don't think it was the fault of the employee working the floor. It appeared there was only one person handling the front of the house while also making drinks, taking orders, delivering food, and managing takeout customers. Once a few tables filled up, it became obvious she was overwhelmed. For example, when we ordered our first round of drinks, I also requested waters for the table that never arrived. By the time our food came out, I had finished my michelada and had nothing to drink while eating fairly spicy food. I had to walk up and request another drink and water multiple times before receiving anything. The employee was always polite, but it felt more like a staffing issue than a customer service issue. Another thing that stood out was the number of flies around the dining area. It wasn't enough to ruin the meal, but it was noticeable enough that better fly control would improve the experience. Overall, the food and drinks were excellent, and that's what ultimately carries this review. With a little more staffing, better fly control, and slightly cooler indoor temperatures, this place could easily be a five-star experience. As it stands, I would still gladly return and would recommend it to anyone looking for good Mexican food and excellent micheladas in Visalia. read more

Today is just not Taco Tuesday, it is Cinco De Mayo. What better way to enjoy the day with Tacos at Chalios. My favorite here are the Chili Verde Tacos. Their big chunks of Pork with a delicious sauce are irresistible. Most of the time I dine here,,I always order it. Be sure to also order a large refreshing Jamica to quench your thirst. At Chalios, you never need to worry about getting here before closing time as they are open 24 hours. read more

I love when a restaurant chooses to keep their authentic flavors. And chalio's restaurants do just that. I've tried the tacos with hand made tortillas and they were 10/10. Soooo good I've also tried the mariscos fajitas. Which included octopus, mussels, shrimp and fish filet on a sizzling skillet with onions and bell peppers. Paired with a side of rice, beans and tortillas (I asked for handmade as well) and I also asked for the taco salsa and it was all so tasty!! 20/10 recommend I can't wait to go back and try more things. The ambiance is casual with a traditional taqueria feel to it and lots of windows to people watch. Service was fast and casual too. We always had everything we needed. I would recommend this place to anyone in Visalia that likes real authentic Mexican mariscos! read more

Great service. They load up the tacos with meat. I ordered the tripas, carnitas, asada, and quesoberria. Only thing is that I don't think they put salt in the meats at all. Besides that they have great service. read more

This was the third location we tried for late night food after 10pm. The first restaurant decided to close an hour early and the second place was a taco truck that simply wasn't where it was stopped to be. This place was our Hail Mary to try to get some dinner before midnight. Lucky for us, they were open, and we got 5 tacos and a quesedilla. All I can say was the food was delish and the meat was piled on! I wish I had taken a photo, those tacos were filled to the brim and overflowing with meat. Highly recommend going here if you're in Visalia. read more

Best Mexican food in town! Looks like a hole in the wall don't let that fool you good food tacos burrito horchata are bomb !

I ordered a California burrito and was sharing it with my husband. After I took a couple of bites of my half, I noticed a black strand of hair inside. I immediately called the restaurant to report it. A lady answered, and I told her in English that there was a hair in my burrito. She responded, "I don't know who took your order, I just got here." I explained that it didn't matter who took the order, I just wanted the burrito remade. She was very rude and refused to give me her name when I asked. This experience was extremely unprofessional and left me feeling disgusted and disappointed with the service. read more

This is the second consecutive time it's happened. Ordered a burrito and it is tiny. I weighed it on my food scale and it was 8oz. Not even a pound! Talk about a rip off at $13 for a disappointment! I will definitely never go there again! I'll go somewhere else and at least get my moneys worth! Look at the picture I took it's the length of an Amazon remote and we all know how small those remotes are. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else if you paying $13 bucks! read more

Had to help get the word out on this new location in Visalia, CA. I had a late night taco craving Friday night, swung by a few spots that were closed and even some taco trucks that weren't at location given. Almost settled for Canes but saw the lights at Chalio's and swung by to check it out. Lucky for me they were open and had everything I could possibly want. First off they are open 24/7! ~YES 24hrs a day, 7 days a week! Please make a mental note of this next time you & your date, the homies or family gets that craving for some late-night tacos! The service and ambience are inviting and spacious with open seating. Highly recommended everyone come check out and welcome this new business in our city. The food is fresh, flavorful and it's no wonder they have several locations now! read more

I'm a huge fan of Chalios in hanford and tulare but was sadly disappointed with this location. To begin with it smells really moldy which is not a good sign of building management. We got drinks and at the bottom of the cups there was just white gunk floating around and sadly all of our cups were like that. I didn't want to make a scene so we said nothing about it. I got asada tacos and my bf got asada quesadillas, and we somehow both ended up really sick that night with bad stomach aches and the greens in restroom. So if we had to take a guess it was the meat. Kinda sad that it was my first time giving the Visalia location a try but am too afraid to retry it again for a second chance... read more

I did not like the food at all im really picking with Mexican food I grew up in southern California where Mexican food is fire with all the flavor, so far since moving out here I have not found one Mexican food place that actually has good food read more

I got pastor tacos and a California burrito and I was pretty disappointed. The tortilla was undercooked on the burrito making it hard to bite and it was not tasteful also inside it was very mushy . The pastor tacos have way too much cumin and they taste like a homemade remedy or something. Im sorry just my honest opinion & experience here . read more

Great food and service was great. Cold beer chips and salsa was fresh. Lots of great food items on the menu.

Food is good even though I had 2nd to 3rd degree burn on my leg from their menudo I still enjoy their some of their food not the menudo though, it was extremely hot but didn't have the menudo kick I get from the other place I get my menudo from. read more

Carne asada was fire, horchata was great! Fresh chips and salsa to the table for a taqueria type vibe was a nice touch! We

Food was extra salty and overpriced, the service was okay, they play complimentary music randomly which makes it awkward when it got quiet. I got a stomach virus and will not be going back! If you want good Mexican food, try Tacos Melaque or Tacos Ensenada. If you want the best Mariscos in Visalia, you have to go to Chaparritos off of HWY 99 on the outskirts of Visalia. read more

Tacos and tortas are good. Open 24hrs always a plus. Menudo was not as good as other locations.

The service was quick and friendly, along with being reasonably priced. We will definitely be return customers. read more
