We decided to try this spot out for lunch and when we arrived we were greeted and sat fairly quick. They served us chips and salsa but I wasn't fan of the salsa it tasted pretty watered down. We ordered two tostadas and 1 plate of the carne asada. Overall the carne asada de not have much flavor and we didn't get 1 of the tostadas. I think they got kinda busy and must of forgotten about us. We tried to make the best of it but overall we weren't satisfied with the food or service. They did remove the tostada from our tab but not sure if we will be going back to try it again.
Update: This is one of my favorite Mexican reataurant. Why?!?! Very simple: Consistent and the price is reasonable. The menu hasn't changed, and all their dishes arw delicious.
Been a bit since we had been here. We both got senior plates and were really good. Forgot that they give you chips and salsa which is very addictive. Our server was really friendly and attentive. Hope to put this back on our rotation!
The service was a little bit not there that time. The lady who waited on us was not very attentive. I wanted another coffee and she never showed up again. We had to ask another person to help me in the coffee. Also the menudo seemed old. My daughter didn't like it. Or maybe she is getting tired of menudo all together. Who knows. The ambiance it's very familiar and casual. The chilaquiles are always very good. My husband loves his chimichanga. He always order the same thing because he loves it.
I recently went back to Carrillo's Mexican Restaurant after it had been a while, and it reminded me exactly why I love this place so much. They still remembered me and took care of me the same way they always have, which truly means a lot. Without even having to ask, they brought out the spicy salsa, chili oil, and hot sauce. It's those little extra touches that make you feel so welcomed and taken care of. The food is always top notch, consistently flavorful, and satisfying every single time. Since the remodel, the restaurant looks absolutely beautiful, but what hasn't changed is the warm, family-like atmosphere. When you eat here, you genuinely feel like you're part of their family. If you enjoy spicy food, definitely ask for the red hot sauce and the chili oil! you won't regret it.
I can see why this place has such good reviews. My friend and I came here for the first time and this place was packed even near closing time around 8 pm. We received chips and salsa upon sitting down. I ordered the chile relleno and the enchilada plate that came with rice and beans. I also had the mini tostada, which had refried beans, cheese, lettuce, and guac. It was yummy. Everything i had was pretty good, but my only complaint is that there was very little rice and beans. Overall, the food was very delicious and I would definitely come back. I'm glad to see that they have multiple places in Fresno. Since they were very busy, we had to flag down the staff member a couple of times for the check and also for boxes. They close the back room an hour before closing so that they can clean. And so you might be waiting a bit since there are only about 13-15 tables in the front two rooms. Overall, very delicious food though staff can be super busy with the many customers that come through.
If you got a mama that wants good menudo but is picky and only wants the best, COME HERE!! it's always packed everyone that knows, KNOWS this place is fire. Service is always excellent. And your mom is gonna be happy you took her to eat here!!
I came here for a breakfast burrito only. I believe there is a lot of room for improvements. This place was busy at 10:00 am on a Monday. The place was filled with fellow patrons that seemed to be regular customers. I ordered a carne asada burrito that was supposed to be wet. They burrito came with beans and rice of course. The disappointment was the lack of sauce drizzled on top of the burrito. The cost is extra to make it wet and yet the burrito was barely wet. See pic. I've been recommended this place by others. I found this place to be okay. I am still in search of a good breakfast burrito still.
Walked in and immediately greeted by friendly staff and was directed to sit where we liked. The immediate entrance area has a dining area and then there is another adjacent room with more seating. The place had a steady amount of customers dining in and to-go. Our waiter took our drink orders and delivered them promptly with chips and salsa (was not spicy) When he came back to take our food order we were able to ask our questions and place our orders. The food arrived and was delicious with generous servings. Our waiter and host checked on us half way thru. When it was time to get the check, the waiter noticed our sodas were not quite gone and offered to bring us to go cups- which he did and they were already filled with drinks! Im not sure if thats standard and its "only" soda, but the gesture was truly appreciated. Would definitely recommend and come back.
Decent Mexican food. Service was quick. I did have to ask for my soda twice before it was brought to me. I ordered the two tacos and enchilada combo. All pulled chicken. It was fine. My chicken tacos were not completely full and had all of empty shell. My husband ordered the enchilada, taco, then asked for a chili verde burrito and a third item, which was an up-charge. What a joke! The burrito was seriously children size. When the server said that the burrito would be small we didn't think 3 bites and be done with it.
Pretty darn good. I like that the salsa was very fresh and that they used that grindr thing instead of a vitamix. Would come again
Everyone is always so friendly and helpful and they're always very very busy but the service is fast. The restaurant is very clean and the food is amazing.

Came here for dinner the other day and just before closing. I ordered the #4 combination plate a beef taco, enchilada and chili relleno with beans and rice. The food was pretty good except for my taco shell which was tough and hard to chew. Good food but don't come close to closing since you'll get the leftovers. Service is always good and friendly counter help. Large area for dining and comfortable seating. read more
Besides being pretty busy-but we were expecting that since it's Mother's Day-we had great service and the food was delicious. As always canela cafe is my favorite. This place literally feels like I'm being fed at my mom's house. Except for here she doesn't have to cook-and neither do I!! We had a few plate on our table, menudo, chilaquiles special, chicharrones special, carne asada burrito and chile verde breakfast. Everyone enjoyed their choices, I also tried my mom's chicharrón special and it was very tasty. The server was sweet and checked on us frequently. I appreciated the baskets of all the condiments and creamers on the table. I love not having to bug servers, especially when they are busy. Oh and chips and salsa were fresh and pico was on point. Thanks Carrillos! read more

I visited here for the quesa birria tacos after seeing this place made the news! The birria, sauce and chips were amazing! Here's my critique: the tortillas were burnt to a crisp. This made it hard to enjoy the tacos. The good news was that they wrapped each taco with 2 tortillas and if you carefully removed the outer crisped tortilla, you're left with the soft taco. I'd rather not have had to fight with it to remove it though. Also, the salsa for the chips was not very spicy at all. It was actually more watery than having real substance. The atmosphere was great though and the host was amazing! I do recommend this restaurant! read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food! We were seated right away and noticed this place getting more people coming in as it hit noon on a weekday. We were hoping this place is good as I don't get to eat good Mexican food where I'm from. I ordered the carnitas taco which is huge- not street taco size and very filling full of flavor. Also had the pozole with big chunks of pork and hominy. I added cabbage and onions and it was full of flavor and a big bowl. I couldn't finish and had to take half to go. Hubby ordered the tacos plate. He loved the beans and the carne Asada taco and carnitas taco were so delicious. The meats are marinated well and everything came out tasty. Price is super reasonable and service was fast and on point. The complimentary chips and salsa are also delicious! Glad we stumbled upon this spot- will come back again when we are here. read more
I always judge a Mexican place 1st by their chips and salsa if you have ever read any of my reviews. This place 100% 5 star the homemade salsa so good and the warm chips with the seasoning out of bounds! Ambiance not fancy but who needs that when just looking for great Mexican food. Located in a strip mall with other businesses. Inside super clean and service for sure 5 out of 5 stars! For dinner I had the shredded beef taco plate with rice and beans with a Modello. Simple meal but you know how people screw up simple. Not Carrillo's. This meal was delicious! I devoured every bit of this and left so full! They also have homemade hot sauces which I would highly recommend both are very good but their hot one will leave a sting! Either way this was a great find and I would highly recommended it to anyone! read more

Bf got el grande carnitas burrito. Carnitas was a little salty and dry. They accommodated no rice and beans in his burrito per his request, no problem. 3/5 I got the dinner combo: 2 cheese enchiladas and a taco w/ rice and beans. I also ordered a side of fajita veggies. My taco tortilla was in between crunchy and soft, perhaps they didn't fry it long enough. We tasted soy sauce? In the Fajita veggies. I didn't get a salad with my dinner entree as listed on the menu. Table salsas were okay. 3/5 I asked if they offered vegetarian options as it was listed on their Yelp page "vegan and vegetarian options." Our server condescendly said, "Everything has meat! Even the chips!" I was confused looking at the chips and salsa on the table. He then said, "We use lard!" Service was better after taking our order. He checked on us occasionally. They're so busy, it is hard to be accommodating. Prices are affordable tho. Service: 2.5/5. I've told myself to try this spot for a LONG time. I'm glad we finally did but we probably won't return as quality of food was mid. Apparently, I've eaten here 7 years ago! (per Yelp photos) LOL. read more

Fairly consistent food, usually good. Mostly cordial staff. But we've never seen such a sad tostada. You just get a very very thin spread of beans and cheese. And I'd like to know where the OTHER HALF of my tostada is! It's almost as if they tried to make it bad... and they succeeded. Tostada was even upside down in the box but it didn't matter because there was nothing on it read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We were visiting from out of town and decided to try Carillo's Mexican food for the first time -- and wow, we are SO glad we did. The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Chile Colorado and it was hands down one of the best I've ever had, flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned. 3 of my daughters got the quesabirria and couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. My husband and my other daughter ordered the super burritos and they were huge and packed with flavor. Every single plate and the horchata was a 10/10. On top of the incredible food, the service made the experience even better. Our waiter, Victor, was absolutely amazing. He made sure all our needs were met, checked in on us regularly, and took great care of our family. Everyone else we came in contact with was just as wonderful, truly top-tier customer service all around. We would recommend this place 10 out of 10. If you're in Clovis, this spot is a must! We will definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

After a very long day at Yosetime National Park we were heading to our airbnb. After making a quick stop to look for a dinner stop we came across this restaurant. After reading the many great reviews we decided to check it out. All the workers here are super nice and attentive. They took our order fairly quickly and brought us some warm chips and salsa to munch on while we waited for our dinner. As we waited I was shocked how many people kept coming in either to dine in or for take out. I ordered the fajitas trio. It came with either a side salad or a tostada. I decided to go with the tostada since I was starving and I'm so glad I did. The tostada was like a meal on its own. Now when my entree finally arrived I was shocked how big it was. Definitely could be good enough for 2 to share. All of the food was excellent the only thing I wasn't crazy about was the corn tortillas. read more

I don't get it. Have heard really great thingss from several people about Carrillo's, but my experi3nce a few nights ago was less than. Upon arriving, first impression was the make-shift signage outside of the nights specials. However, hearing how good this place is I thought it must be better in side. Place is quite run down looking, was not expecting "hole in the wall" look on the inside. Hole in the Wall looking is okay as long as the restaurant is clean and the food is good. Place was full of people ... good sign. Was seated promptly. Orders taken in a timely manner and chips/salsa and drinks came quickly. I liked the lightness to the chips and that they were warm and seasoned. Salsa was okay. The person who took our order spoke so fast and mumbled that it was difficult to understand him. My boyfriend and I both ordered the two grilled chicken tacos combo plates. Presentation wise, the plate looked messy, as if they had been slopped onto the plate. Beans already had the thin solid layer on top as if they had been plated for a while. Taste of beans/rice was just okay, but improved significantly when lemon juice squeezed on top. Tacos were street taco style: two small tortillas, meat, cilantro, onions. No cheese or cabbage. Because I ordered grilled tacos, I could not have a crunchy shell which I would have preferred. Tacos were just okay. Towards the end of our meal my boyfriend gestures to me to look up .... the pull on the ceiling fan above our head was thick and furry full of dust as well as the ceiling tiles. I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. Again, if the food was good and restaurant was clean, no problem. But everything was a miss at Carrillos. read more
