    Asada tacos
    Jozel R.

    Was craving Mexican food on a Taco Tuesday. Wanted to try a place we haven't gone to and this place caught our attention. Drove by this place a million times and didn't know this place was where it was. The sign was a bit faded which didn't make it easy to spot. Once we arrived there was no one there. The only person there, assuming it was the owner greeted us and was very kind. We ordered one asada burrito, asada quesadilla, 2 asada tacos and one chicken enchilada plate that came with rice and beans. It was a one man show, he cooked all of our orders fast and it was beautifully presented. Everything was delicious! The meat was all seasoned well and had great texture. I loved the fact that the outside of the burrito was toasted. Everything was large portioned, had great flavor and good for the price. This place serves a bit of everything. Bbq, hamburgers, seafood etc... We had such a great experience. Definitely coming back.

    Ceviche (tastes just like in Mexico)

    A little gem of a Mexican restaurant tucked into an industrial park off Clovis Ave between Olive and McKinley. Excellent authentic tasting Mexican food (and he also has a few American dishes, too - burgers, BLT&A sandwich, chicken, and more). Give it a try, I think you like it.

    So, several months ago I happen to run across this place (thanks Yelp!) & finally got to try it out last night. I can see why this place has a 4.5, has good food! Green Chicken Enchiladas: The chicken is good, no old or off taste from sitting. Green has a good taste, which is always nice being most don't. Asada Tacos: Definitely good, not chewy or full of fat & gristle. Everything about it was All in all: Good service & clean. Definitely a good go to, everything tastes good along with a "fresh" taste from the onions & cilantro. Being it's close to home, will be a go to. Also, the red sauce for the tacos or whatever you want it for os good!

    Food looked good enough to drive across town to get. Did that. Here's my thoughts: The owner is super friendly as is the staff. He can be a bit loud, however, which actually hurts my ears... some of us have excellent hearing, and if we're not standing 50 feet away, appreciate the more subdued volume! The restaurant is clean, humble, but practical and nicely laid out ... I like the huge menu on the wall and apparently they can make other things as well like chilaquiles. Just ask. He's been there for about five years and was surprised at some of the attention he's been getting here on yelp. I explained that it's an important tool for him, and he should spend the time to look at and read each of the reviews.... There's always things to learn that can help one improve their business... The restaurant is located on the south east corner in an industrial Park. It's clear that they take pride in their food, the restaurant. It shows and it 'tastes.' I ordered a chili Verde burrito with onions, wet, and a quesadilla with El Pastor add onions. You know me, not only me gravy, but me onions, too!! I would have to describe the food as well balanced. Nothing is too-too. The chili Verde was mild and tasty and the onions added a nice texture. It was perfectly seasoned and nothing was too salty! The quesadilla had a generous portion of meat in it, but was right on the verge of having too little cheese. A little bit more would have been perfect. The food was served HOT temp-wise which is always a plus. Not sure why they brought silverware twice but okay... This is a humble restaurant putting out really good, simple food of great quality. Can't wait to try a few more things! In way of encouragement to the the restaurant, you guys are doing a great job and I appreciated the enthusiasm, served up with good food! Keep up the good work! -G

    Great food, amazing service, and excellent flavor! Highly recommend! The owner was very nice and welcoming. Clean place and comfortable atmosphere.

    I love this place! Shrimp burritos/tacos/fries are so good! Fresh tasting and great flavor! Small little shop but well managed and outstanding food! Highly recommended!

    Volcano shrimp fries spicy

    The food was freaking amazing! I order the volcano shrimp fries (spicy) the spiciness was spicy but I was able to eat and enjoy my food. It has their unique taste! My mom order a fried quesadillas shrimp and they were also good. The service was great! The lady and the man there make you feel welcome. They're both full of life! It's a small place . Glad I made a stop here and I will definitely come back again. I want to say it's a hidden gem.

    What a hidden gem! Small but clean and the owner welcoming! Ate here with family on a random Friday evening and were the last customers serviced and ever since then, I think my family comes here once every 1-2 weeks. It's a one man show and you can tell he's passionate about his business as well as his hometown which his restaurant is named after. Very genuine guy, super humble and cool. So far we've tried: regular and spicy (and spicy means hella spicy so go with regular lol) shrimp volcano fries, the Camarones (shrimp), the La Veracruzana plate, lengua and chicken tacos, shrimp burritos, Coctel de Camarones, breakfast burritos with bacon, and asada and al pastor burrito. Everything has been tasty but our faves are the coctel de Camarones, the La Veracruzana plate and the burritos (breakfast and al pastor.) I need to try his soups but those seem to always be sold out by the time we get there. Anyways, really cool spot and hope this place is here for a while!

    Camarones a la veracruzana. The shrimp were plump and fresh!  Portions for all of our party were generous.

    The Xinantecatl Restaurant arose on our horizon after a week of backpacking in the Sierras. I'm sure it wasn't only the contrast with rehydrated camping food while slapping hummingbird-sized mosquitoes. But this place is the real deal! Each person in our five person party descended into reverential silence while enjoying fajitas, salad with steak, camarones a la veracruzana (spicy and savory) and camarones a la diablo (SPICY and savory). Meals were served with hot corn tortillas following complimentary excellent thick cut tortilla chips and both red and tomatillo salsas, both tangy and yummy. The man who greeted us was also the chef and waiter, a charming guy on top of talented and efficient cook and cultural translator (ask him what the restaurant name means!).  Complimentary ice creams were his final gift as we departed home to the showers he never let on knowing that we needed.  I'll be back for sure whenever I'm in town!

    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!

We've never waited long to have our orders taken or to receive our food. Now... those enchiladas! They're the closest thing to the type of enchiladas my best friend's mama makes (she's from Michoacan)-- she makes the best, most authentic Mexican food! SO, when I can't get them from her... I know where to go. They are cheese enchiladas-- served with lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, and sour cream.. sprinkled with cotija cheese. They also come with some bomb potatoes and your choice of chicken or steak-- we always go steak. Sooo good and the flavors are always on point! + They give complimentary chips and salsa-- very good. We use that same salsa for the enchis. Pair it with a crisp coke, chef's kiss! If it wasn't obvious, it's a yes from me. This little hole-in-the-wall family-run business needs more recognition!
