came here with my wife & my mom, food was good but the service was horrendous! first off the food took forever to get to our table then when I asked my server for extra napkins they only brung back 2... its 3 of us at the table, took forever to refill our waters even after asking several times to do so here is the worst part, after asking for a extra set of silverware because the table only had 2 sets and it was 3 of us they brung the extra silverware to our table & after wiping my mouth with the napkin that came with the silverware a few times i sat it on the table then when i grabbed it again to wipe my mouth I noticed it had some writing on it in pen wtf! looked like someone had jotted down reservation info or something then wrapped the silverware back in the napkin smh I got up and went to the front & asked to speak with a manager told him the situation he quickly apologized and said he remembered seeing that napkin by the phone but dont know who wrote on it & put the silverware back in it, he took the napkin claiming he was going to save it to show it to our server but after I asked for the check so I can pay & leave he came to our table again apologizing again & offered us free desert I quickly denied saying no thank you and can I please see the napkin again so I can take a picture of it he said he threw it away... of course you did smh I will never eat at this place again even if someone dropped a nuclear bomb in Fresno & somehow I survived & the only place left on planet earth that had food was Toledo's guess what? I'll be a dead (insert curse word here) read more

I will not be coming back to this place to eat again. Right off the bat the chips were over seasoned and looked like they spent way too much time in the fryer, or the fryer wasn't drained and cleaned properly the night before. And with what little salsa they gave us at the table it had a big black hair in it! So yeah.... won't be eating that! Brought it to the servers attention and she just scoops the salsa cup off the table and brings us another one! Ummm... no thanks I'm sure the rest of the batch is contaminated so we won't be eating any of that. My hopes for an authentic Mexican meal were dashed by the lack of food safety and quality control standards. I used to work the back of a kitchen for many years. And if any restaurant has an ounce of integrity, they hire a QC person to ensure things like that don't reach the customer. They maintain order consistency and quality of food. If this restaurant even employs one, he was sleeping on the job. My bacon wrapped shrimp was over fried too. They seriously need to clean that fryer and the end of every night. Don't just keep reusing to same fryer oil that shit gets dirty fast and your fried meals look burnt when you do. Many other things wrong with this restaurant like people who were seated up to 30 minutes after us got their food first, and their check and left before us. Server barley came around for refills. Overall I left this place disgusted and scared for its other patrons. Hopefully no one gets sick. read more

Toledo's Mexican Restaurant - Clovis - They add hair to their salsa. Patron beware! CHECK YOUR FOOD! Because they don't! - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, California

I've been here a few times before but this was the worst experience I've ever had and will probably never go back. I got the buy one, get one menu item free coupon out of ZBest. We took it in there and I ask for a bean and cheese burrito with beans and rice on the side and my husband orders the fajitas. Well, apparently our coupon won't work for a "kids meal" or the daily special. Even though it said, ANY MENU ITEM. So at this point, I'm irritated but we agree to try to find something else on the menu. My husband and I are on a budget of preferrably under or near $15. Even with the BOGO coupon, we're looking at over $20. So as we sit there contemplating, we find a hair in the salsa. I was so disgusted and not willing to spend close to $30 on food like that, that we just left and went somewhere else, where we each got our own plate, no coupons, and spent $14. read more

First, this review (like many of my others) is based on multiple dining experiences, and I've honestly seen a bit of a downcline this last year. I know it's still the same family and that their other locations seem to be more on-point, but I would venture to guess that they have a new kitchen staff... and they really need to learn how to cook. This Toledo's (and the one in Mission Village on Shaw) have been some of my places to grab some decent Mexican food while enjoying good chips and salsa and a cold one. My last two visits to the Clovis location were disappointing to say the least. Watered-down refried beans, sloppy plating and the cardinal sin of serving spoiled rice on my last visit. Cooked rice CAN go bad when it's chilled then reheated, chilled then reheated, and will give off a sour aroma when you pop it into your mouth. Won't kill you, but... Two trips ago (I wanna say mid February?), my chicken burrito was so soggy that the tortilla had turned to mush. The chicken was rather bland and was so soggy that it made me wonder if the cooks had used a soup ladel instead of a slotted spoon. I'm all for juicy, but this was swimming. That same visit, I had a side salad that was ALSO drowned out. My last visit, I got a two item combo with tamale and chicken enchilada. My enchilada had been rolled without first warming the tortilla, so it split like crazy and was served looking like some sort of messed-up cassarole. The tamale contained almost NO pork (seriously, the first half I ate contained nothing but masa. Not just they, but it was removed from the husk and was almost completely cold. I know they're not steaming them to order, but this was just a not-so-hot mess. Dug into the rice and tasted the sour, so basically there was really nothing desirable on my plate to eat. So then... why three stars and not lower? Because when all's said and done, I've never once received bad service from them, the atmosphere is decent and their chips and salsa really does make it almost worth it. Not just that, but their albondigas has never been a miss either. Chilled beer glasses are a nice plus too. Also, I remember the way their food quality once was, and since it's the same family running it, these issues can be tweaked back to good by either re-training the kitchen staff or hiring some new people. read more

The Clovis Toledo's was once an enjoyable experience. But then my visits to the restaurant turned into a series of 'hit-and-miss' experiences as to service and quality of the food. Consequently, I did not return for quite a long time. The other day, feeling hopeful, I decided to give them another opportunity to enjoy my business -- this time on a call ahead take-out basis. The phone order took forever; because the person on the other end kept getting the order wrong. However, I felt satisfied that he finally got it right when he finally correctly repeated the order to me. Still, because of the many mistakes he made during the phone order, I checked as best as I could the order before leaving with it. I discovered too many errors to list, e.g., wrong sauce; wrong item; missing itemS, etc. As I waited for corrections, the 'manager' seemed to take care to get the order correct. During the entire encounter, from phone call to point I left with the food, we were all very 'nice & friendly' to one another, despite the many mistakes -- but that proved to have no impact upon the quality of food I ultimately received which, later, proved to be absolutely disgusting; some items even tasted very spoiled. The grilled chicken in the enchilada was akin to very bad tasting jerky; and the sauce was not good at all -- very unlike the wonderful sauce they once served on a consistent basis; and the meatballs in the soup tasted very spoiled -- the soup overall (broth & veggies) was very disappointing, very unlike the wonderful freshly made soup they once served on a regular basis. After arriving home and tasting the food, it went either into the trash or down the garbage disposal. Sadly, I wasted much of my time, money and energy giving them my business. I could continue with additional examples of dissatisfaction with various items but it is not my desire to say more than needed to make clear the reason the restaurant has once again lost my business. As an aside, I'll just note that the restaurant was almost empty when I arrived to pick up my order. I've never before seen it so empty. Maybe that should have informed me as to what I should expect when tasting the food. :( ON EDIT: I'll note also that I have no clue as to why it says "San Francisco" under my name. read more

Stopped here to get some food and maybe a drink or two before catching a movie across the street. We ordered the Toledo's Trio appetizer and a couple of beers. I was on my second beer by the time the appetizer showed up. The guacamole was on point!! The chorizo and been dip was fresh and obviously fresh due to the steam coming off of it. The queso dip not so much..asked the bartender to heat it up. He was kind enough to bring us a fresh one which was delicious! I highly recommend the trio if it is fresh! Luis provided great service in the bar area! read more

Always get great service and food! Never had a bad experience . Chantel such a Great Waitress!!

My wife and I had to walk out! It was our 1st date night in over 6 months and we had the unfortunate experience of walking into this establishment. At first things seemed okay, we arrived at 4:30 pm and were seated right away. We let the server know this was our date night and we had a show to go to after dinner. They took our order brought the drinks and we enjoyed the chips and salsa very much. The soup and salad arrived in a timely manor; but then the wheels fell off from that point. After about 15 minutes the server came back and said they had misplaced our order and needed to make out a new ticket. We let them know what our order was and they went away. In the mean time other customer are being seated, their orders being taken and soon our section of the restaurant is filling up. After about 20 minutes we flag down the server and ask about our order. They come back 5 minutes later and try to give us the soup and salad again as if they forgot we had been sitting there for over 40 minutes. As other tables are receiving their food and the time keeps passing my wife and I look at the time and it has been over an hour. We have no information about our order and our server seems to have vanished. The restaurant manager is running around to the other tables, but doesn't seem to notice we have been sitting there for over an hour. We express again our need to get served so we can go to the show, but nothing happens. Finally, I decide it is enough and don't want to miss our show because this restaurant can't get their act together. We get up and head toward the entrance. The manager wishes us a good night as we are leaving and then realizes we are the ones who were first in, last out and never got our food. He tries to stop us and ask to give them one more chance, but I explain we are going to miss our show and they had plenty of chances to before we decided to leave. I give them a twenty for the ice tea, soup and salad (don't want to be accused of not paying my bill) and we leave. Lessons for the Manager: 1. You have hostesses, waiters and bus persons to seat, take orders and deliver food. Don't get so caught up in doing their jobs for them that you neglect to do your job. 2. Mistakes happen; how you respond is what makes the difference between a great business and a poor business. In this case you should have been walking our order through the kitchen rather than letting it linger and get lost. 3. You as a Manager are responsible for the ebb and flow of the restaurant. Seeing customers who came in before your rush, sitting after and hour with no food should scream alarm bells that something is wrong. Get in the habit of go to each table and saying "Hello, my name is John Doe, how has your experience been tonight?" In between jobs, kids and the day to day experience of trying to live a life, my wife and I get very little time to ourselves and this experience at Toledo's is just another reason why we will have to eat in next time. read more

Always love the food here , I usually go to the one in pinedale but this one is closer , and the service is always the best. One of my favorite resturaunts. read more

The other locations seem to be a little better but Toledo's is all around pretty good.

Terrible service. 10 minutes to get drinks. 20 more for a refill. Chips were from a bag with some kind of powdered chile on them, salsa was junk. The water didn't even taste like water. Taquitos were loaded with grease. Never going back and hoping none of you do either. Made 2 people in our party sick. Yuck! read more

I went with my family for a celebration dinner. They were able to seat our party of 9 on short notice (at a table that was in an alley). The Service alone would get 3-4 stars, unfortunately we didn't just go for service. My family had issues with every dish ordered, cold chicken in the enchiladas, old shrimp in the fajitas and very greasy shredded beef. We even found a piece of plastic in one of the enchiladas. The manager replaced the enchilada plate and offered a free dessert. The Vanilla Flan with extra caramel was practically tasteless, no vanilla taste and whatever the topping was it was not caramel. I grew up eating Mexican food and this was an experience to remember, I will remember not to return to this restaurant. read more

We eat here all the time. At least once a week. Always seated right away with chips, salsa and drinks minutes after sitting down. Food is always good and the house margaritas are the BEST! Love the friendly staff. read more

My wife and I was having a really bad day. We went out shopping upset and hungry, the second we sat down we calmed down with the professional service and beyond excellent food. We live an hour away and from now on when we hit town we will be return customers 100%. read more

Just bad. The place itself is nice but it's ridiculously overpriced for average food. Everything just had a bland taste. I won't go there again read more

You can't go wrong with their Margaritas and Carne Asada tacos. Also if you're really daring, try the chile relleno wrapped in a flour tortilla, topped with relleno sauce, melted cheese, and sour crème. Amazing! read more

Toledo has disappointed for the last time! The food is flavorless and loaded with green bell peppers (Fajitas). It really saddens me to see an iconic Mexican restaurant slip into mediocrity. Time to change the banner to "TACO BELL". read more

Had a great experience at this place. Delicious carnitas and guacamole. Carne asada and chile relleno were good. Shrimp cocktail was so-so. read more

When the hubby asks me what I want for dinner, the reply typically has to do with authentic Mexican Food... When the response is that we always eat Mexican food, I remind him Taco Bell does not count. That being said, he pulled up to Toledo's after one such conversation. I wanted chicken tacos so I ordered a two combo plate. They brought out chips and very little salsa. They were great about keeping our tea filled. The salad was not anything more than the kind you can buy in a bag with a few tortilla strips on top... No tomatoes, nothing else... Just tortilla strips and dressing. I found it odd that as we were eating the gal asked us for our salt and pepper shaker to refill it... They were pretty much full (maybe down 1/4 inch on the salt?)...but my thought was, "really, right now as I am drinking my tea and eating my chips? You want me to pass you the slat and pepper shakers so you can fill them..." The tacos I had were amazing!!! There was a green chili in it... Yum!!!! The beans and rice were pretty good too! Usually it's the same at most restaurants, but these were far better than most!!! And the cherry on top... Fried ice cream!!! The food was a bit pricey when it all gets added up. My hubby had ordered the chefs choice, and we shared the dessert. The value may have been perfect with quieter music and better salad. read more

They let us come in late and order food was excellent..... Service was ok ....try the ceviche with shrimp its so good Only thing I did notice The bathrooms bit dirty read more

Chips, rice, and refried beans all cooked with lard! I had a chicken and shrimp fajita, I got three dry shrimps among dry chicken mountain. Their lemonade is colored water basically. I do not recommend them. I expected better Mexican good here! read more

Of course there are dozens of great Mexican restaurants in Fresno and Clovis but the service at this Toledo's put it a step ahead of many of them. They are open until 10:00, so it was nice to have a choice of a decent late night dinner. Our waiter, Rafael, was attentive and so helpful. When I told him I didn't like the amount of spices on the complimentary tortilla chips, he showed up within minutes with fresh, hot plain tortilla chips right out of the fryer. We had the full order of their queso dip which was a little thin but so tasty with mild green chilies. I tried the enchiladas verdes with a tomatillo sauce that was flavorful and stuffed with plenty of cheese. My guest had a plate of 8 bacon wrapped shrimp that had been stuffed with jalapenos and cheese. It came with a red chili dipping sauce but the queso dip was great with the shrimp also. I was most impressed by what I saw at the table next to us. A party of 4 left after a long meal. Within 1 minute after they left, three bussers were at the table, stacking dishes, taking them away and wiping the table down. Within another minute they had the table set up for the next customer. I've not seen wait staff so well trained in awhile. Kudos to Toledo's for hiring experienced and willing staff. read more

I'm a postmates driver and when I called in to place an order I was met with rude attitude because the order was apparently unavailable. When I tried to explain the order again, the worker continued to be rude and acted frustrated with me as I was just trying to place the customers order. The order was supposed to be 11-12 dollars but they charged upwards of 30 dollars. Do not recommend this place. Even when I went into the restaurant to pick up the order they seemed out of loop and communication was lacking. An example would be that I was asked by at least 6 people if I had been helped and I was clearly talking to the manager. Go to the Fresno location to save yourself the trouble. read more

a buddy and I were craving mexican. Mexican food I should say... "craving Mexican" can means all sorts of things... Anyways, we stopped by for a quick bite. Food and service was great. a nice place to try out if you're looking for an alternative to those fastfood mexican places. read more

The food tasted good. I had a tostada salad. The tostada was burnt. Didn't realize it until I finished the salad itself. The appetizers were great and so was the guacamole. The service was OK they filled my drink up when needed. My daughter love the kid menu and her taco combo. read more

Good service, even though they were super busy. Louie's special was tasty, as were the mole enchiladas. Margarita happy hour specials were nice too. Mmmmmm happy hour. read more

Walked right in and was seated, tons of staff. Very nice our waitress Tere,was all over it. Made us feel beyond comfortable.Ordered the lenga en salsa, came served on large plate. Serving size is set to get adults full. The wife had salad and that thing was a beast too.Salsa is good, ask for extra hot one. Which is very good.Price is reasonable for being in Clovis. read more

Love the Seafood Enchiladas and found the Abondigas soup to be outstanding. On Sundays they also had the Mariachi's Loco which was very entertaining while you ate. read more

I had a good meal, but felt rushed the entire time. The server was on top of us to order, drink refills were hard to come by, and when we did order the food was out in 5 minutes. Perfect for fast food but when you're eating at a restaurant with your family a relaxing experience with good food is what you're after most of all. read more

Great food. Never disappointed. Salsa is terrific. We love having Teresa as our waitress.she is the best.

We waited 45 minutes from the time we ordered to the time we got our food. Two of the meals came with soup which came just a couple of minutes before the entree. We had two children with us and one got their food with all of the others and the other child had to wait for hers to be made. Two of the entrees were lukewarm. One of the meals was ordered with no cheese and came with cheese. Needless to say, we won't be back. This is not the only time we have had this type of problem at this location. read more

The albondiga soup is fresh and amazing... I like it in cold rainy day.. if u are ever in the mood for it this is the place

Just knowing I had to write this review is stressful because the Clovis Toledos used to be my fave in town. For years I've ordered the same thing: CHILI VERDE BURRITOS with Chili Verde Sauce. (not the enchilada green sauce.) In April 2018 we placed our orders over the phone. We picked up but they forgot our itemized receipt. When I got home & started to eat the Chili Verde Burrito with Chili Verde Sauce, I tasted rotten pork! I was shocked & tossed the rest. I waited until the next month to try again since I thought a reputable restaurant would surely FIX a spoilage problem within a month. So in May, I tried again and ordered precisely the same order as in April. The first bite declared "I AM ANOTHER PIECE OF ROTTEN PORK," so this tells me the kitchen doesn't prepare new chili verdi, they just keep re-heating the same mess and retain it for months, or they simply allow every batch to spoil. To me this type of thing is to be reported to the state, and I am doing so. I THINK THEIR KITCHEN MUST BE THE SCARIEST ON EARTH. read more

The worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. The worst service at a restaurant I've ever had. They wouldn't refund my inedible food. They harassed me when I refused to pay for it. The prices there are too high. read more

Highly disappointed in the food we ordered. The rice tasted weird, it didn't taste like traditional Mexican rice at all. The chimichanga is a pointless plate that costs 14.99 which is super overpriced. It's basically a burrito of meat deep fried and I really don't understand why it's so expensive. I ordered a plate that had 3 huge sopes, size was great, shredded beef lacked tasted. Also ordered botana nachos, they were tasty however adding any protein was an additional charge. The service was great, however it wasn't Mexican quality at its finest like the tablecloth claimed. Won't be returning. read more

Food was okay. I got a burrito and the meat was dry and not very flavorful. It was very busy when I went so maybe Cooks and staff were over whelmed? Not sure. read more

Besides the young lady working by herself, the wait time very long, and the food was all bad. There were 4 of us and we all had rice portions the size of a cereal spoonful. My boyfriend found his buried under his lettuce. My friend had rice from the bottom of the pan where it was stuck to the pan. My rice was scattered apart to look like I had some kind of rice. My chicken flauntas only had again a cereal spoonful size of shredded chicken. I get business are short staff in restaurants but if you don't have anymore food don't try make something out of nothing. The young lady tried her best and hardest and her quickest to accommodate all her tables. She had nothing to do with making the food so she doesn't deserve a bad rep as a waitress, but the owner does for okaying to serve next to nothing food to its guests. I ate my three spoonfuls of chicken that was inside the flauntas and gave back hideous amount of food given that I paid $13.99 for. Better luck next Toledo's. read more

Well I've been coming here since I was about 14. This was and has always been my favorite Mexican restaurant. Sam Toledo always knows how to make his customers happy and really cater to them. My kids and my husband come here and we all love it. Great family restaurant and we feel like family whenever we come here. read more

I went to Toledo's for the first time today the food was okay but the waitress tere was horrible I asked for a sprite for my kid and a water for me she brought me 2 sprites then when I asked her for a water she said okay and brought me another sprite and then she tried to pour more sprite into my sons cup and she spilled like half it which caused her to wet my son of soda besides that everything else was good read more

It's bad enough the service has always been bad. But the food usually makes up for it... usually. Not anymore. The food and soup was cold and it took an hour just to get it in the first place. The server was practically running back and forth (where he was going when there's no food coming out, who knows?). And as always a tell-tale sign... didn't even check to see if the food was good, he just brought the bill. I mean, if you don't want a tip, just say so. You don't have to give me crappy service to ensure that you won't get it. I don't know, maybe there was a soccer game on tv in the back so the cooks and servers were scurrying to get back to watching it. All in all, I won't be back here. read more
