Really authentic and "Delicious" food. Everything we had over the past few visits was worth sitting down and enjoying right there in the restaurant. (I love the refried beans) and always get some to go and make a few burritos at home. Everything is prepared fresh and they also serve Margaritas and such. Right now Jan /1/ 26 it closed pending a new location 1 block down the street sometime in the next couple of months. They have a similar restaurant in Middletown with the identical menu. Service is great and friendly faces greet you every time. If you like this type of cuisine you won't be disappointed. read more

First of all the food really is some of my favorite Mexican food but the move to the new building feels off. The aesthetic they are trying for I can see but nothing is finished. None of the paint is finished anywhere, the old ugly booths need to go, and the restaurant is so choppy that if you get put in that back room to eat you feel isolated, not to mention the place is filthy especially the bathroom. Hopefully they can make the needed improvements. read more

Delicias Alvarez - TAQUITOS - Mexican Near Me - Clearlake, California

My friends and I took a weekend trip to clearlake. We didn't know any restaurants in town so we ended up just browsing yelp and choosing this restaurant. We came on a saturday night around 7pm, several guests were in the restaurant but we were able to get seated right away. The decor was festive and colorful, in an inviting way. Right away, we were given free chips with salsa and beans! I ordered the garlic shrimp. It came with a side of either corn or flour tortillas. I really loved this dish! While it was a bit different than a usual garlic shrimp dish (very saucy and garlicky), I found this dish more subtle and clean. Personally, I liked it. It came with a large helping of grilled vegetables - onion, bell pepper, mushroom. Of course, the plate also included rice, beans, guac, salsa, sour cream, and a piece of fruit. I enjoyed my meal. My friend got the fajita plate that came with shrimp, chicken, beef, and a ton of mixed vegetables. Corn or flour tortilla. Also, a side plate of rice, beans, guac/ sour cream/ salsa. He barely finished his plate it was a ton of food! Our waiter was attentive and continued to check in on us throughout the evening. Solid spot in clearlake if you're not sure where to go. read more

Tried this place based on word of mouth. Ordered lengua. They fry it or something but it wasn't very good. Smelled like the oil they fry it in. Carnitas were cooked good but lacked seasoning. It's okay Mexican food not great. read more

Delicious Alvarez is by far the best Mexican food in Lake County. Always fresh with an authentic South of the border flavor. My wife and I are originally from San Diego where there are hundreds of Mexican restaurants. Delicious Alvarez is compatible to the same read more

Food was delicious , service was fantastic. The facility is the old Main Street restaurant, it has Indoor and outdoor dining. They have True authentic Mexican food. Inexpensive for today's guests. I enjoyed a late lunch and plan to be a frequent visitor. There is parking lot in front . Enjoy read more

Cute restaurant that's a bit hard to find off the road since the sign is small and worn down but the food is amazing. Highly recommended anything on their menu but definitely get the fresh pineapple juice! Service was quick and prompt. Highly recommend eating here read more

This restaurant is the closest to authentic Mexican food I have ever had. I worked in a Mexican Restaurant that won the best award yearly and this place creams it. The flavors are delicious and layered. I have eaten here four times and never been disappointed. read more

They only accept cash, Venmo, cash app or pay by clover scan and pay. Which was okay but we scanned the clover thing and it was trying to charge us for food we didn't even order. The waitress said that it was glitching and adding things, unplugged it and turned it back on.... However when it rebooted she went to our table in the program and deleted 2 items (which I am assuming is the 2 items that were apart of the glitch. Took awhile to get our drinks, one of the gals came and asked us what we wanted to drink about 5 mins after we got our chips and such. Then never came back... our waitress then came to take our order and asked what we asked for to drink. We said orange crush sodas but then she proceeded to tell us the fountain drinks were not working due to no CO2. (Again that was fine) so she asked if we wanted Pepsi, etc.. we both chose Pepsi (it was canned) Thinking because it was canned it might be cheaper because of the inconvenience of not having fountain sodas ... no they were $3.00 each. Beans with the chips were cold and chips were stale. They were not crazy busy and the service was very slow. The ambiance this place gives off ... focusing on things other than the customers at the tables. Sweet gals but definitely not a restaurant I will be returning to. read more

Great little place to eat. There is street parking and a parling lot in the back. We came in on a Saturday night and got a table right away. It was busy and most tables were full. Lots of items on the menu, so something for everyone. We had fish and enchiladas. The rice and beans were good. Good prices and big plates. Be careful if you sit next to the back door as everytime it is opened it was like being in a wind tunnel! read more

food was good, service was horrible. took over 40 min for food and when it did come out, mine was missing flour tortillas, it took another 20 minutes to warm up 3 tortillas. we waited to talk with management and they never showed up. read more

Good Stuff!, I love the tacos, nachos, and burritos at this place. I have tried other Mexican places in Clearlake and not so good and down right disaapointing. But Delicias Alvarez is the place to go for good food. read more

Another Mexican restaurant located in Clearlake. It's very popular and known for their seafood. There's plenty of seating inside but also outside seating available. The seafood was satisfying and very fresh. It took a while for the food to be delivered but was understandable as it was cooked to order. There is a variety of traditional dishes and served in a laid back area. It's a good place to enjoy drinks and dinner. read more

The food here is top notch. I get the whole fried fish (mojarra). It's reasonably priced & cooked perfectly. Even the beans & rice are great. read more

My family LOVES the food here. We don't live around here but go every time we are in the area. We actually live somewhere with a large Latino community, but for some reason this place blows our local Mexican restaurants away. My wife loves the nachos and they don't skimp on the ingredients. I always go for the enchiladas and we are always happy and very full when we leave and their prices are amazing. Just go, you'll be happy you did! read more

Enjoyed the food, good service and ambiance. Will definitely visit again next time I am in the area. read more

There were parts of pork that had no business being in chili verde (valve and rubbery tripe looking thing). Lost appetite and nauseous. Also, chips were hard and stale. read more

Delicias has authentic Mexican food, great service and a very casual colorful dining room with hand painted table tables and chairs depicting life in Mexican villages and old California. This was a great spicy California treat right across the street from the lake. read more

Delicias Alvarez - Dinning area - Mexican Near Me - Clearlake, California

This is the real deal Mexican restaurant. The building could certainly use a little polish on the exterior but that's my only criticism. Our waitress was very sweet and patient. The food came out quick, was nicely presented and very tasty. Apologies to everyone. When I appreciate a restaurant experience I begin a review immediately. Yelp just reminded me that I failed to finish this. The problem is, at this point I have almost no memory of this experience. Fortunately, there is a clue in my review. I almost never rate a restaurant five stars. When I do it means I highly recommend the establishment. My few words tell the story. Don't be put off by the building exterior. If I gave it five stars the food must be excellent. read more

What a nice surprise! We were starving and decided to stop at this little hole in the wall. While it might not appear to be a restaurant from the outside but inside is a cute, brightly decorated sit down space. And the food was excellent! Loved the chips and salsa (plus they bring out beans that are amazing! We ordered the chile rellano, which my SIL raved about and I ordered the chicken fajitas which we both raved over. Definitely will be going here again! read more

Food is so good! We ordered the carnitas sope ($4.50), al pastor taco ($3), and fish tacos ($8 without combo). My husband and I kept raving about how great our orders were and how hard it is to pick what was best (although if push came to shove, I would pick the carnitas sope). The food is honestly better than many Mexican places in the Bay Area, and cheaper too! Atmosphere was fun, though loud. We came on a Friday night, just as they were setting up Mexican karaoke indoors. The singers were all excellent, though the background music was blaring indoors. Love the artistic chairs and tables. Service can be a little on the slow side, as they definitely don't seem to have enough employees working for the number of customers they're attracting. However, they took the time to answer a lot of questions for me, so I appreciate that the service may be slower if they're spending more time with each patron. Someone mentioned they only take cash, but they take credit card now. read more

crabby wait person. service varies dramatically. tonight it was the worst 100° outside no water. when we finally got the water the server wrapped their hand around the drinking rim of the glass. not sanitary. try to explain that to the manager and to get the food to go. her exact words were I don't care. I paid and left the food there won't be back I don't care either read more

Wow, I'm from the Bay Area and been searching for a good Mexican restaurant in Clearlake for 5 years. After many horrible places, and there are many bad restaurants in Clearlake, finally found a great one. Delicious Alvarez is great, the red sauce, salsa and all of there burritos and seafood. My fave so far is the taco salad. Really good read more

We Stopped by for lunch & i almost skipped it just by the appearance of the building but i am so glad we stopped!! Food was delicious. Camarones "chupate los dedos" was AMAZING. I also had the "enchiladas Michoacánas" with chicken instead of steak and they were so tasty! Along with my food i ordered a michelada which was so flavorful! The Service was great, the food did take a little on the longer side to come out but it was worth it. Price was not so bad there were 4 of us. Food & drinks came out to $104 I will absolutely be back. So close to a 5 star experience but the outside appearance of the building can throw one off & the chips were stale. read more

Very best Mexican restaurant in town, very nice excellent margaritas on the with chilly lime sauce!!!

Such good Mexican food in the style we have been looking for in the Clearlake area. You know how you get where you want a particular taste to your enchilada sauce or consistency to your salsa that can be hard to find when you are out of your home area? Their food hit all our favorites. It has a charming interior and friendly waitstaff. We will be coming back whenever we are in town. read more

Great food every time! Consistent, fast, friendly authentic Mexican food. Go try them!

We went Saturday 8/13/2022 Clearlake location. They accept credit cards. More parking in the back. They have outdoor and indoor seating. Food was good. Be sure to ask if the entree is spicy because description does not mention. I forgot the entree name, but it had shrimps, scallops, fish and mussels in red sauce. It was spicy, but tasty. It came as is, no rice and beans. This place serves seafood, but don't expect fresh from the ocean kind. We will be back to try other menu items. read more

The food is good but the service is aweful! The waitress acts put out by having to do her job! I'll be ordering to go from now on... or I'll just go to Cabo's where the service and food are excellent! read more

That was good food and I have to say I'm picky about my Mexican food . The prices where way better than central California too.

Such a good spot!! Food is amazing and have really friendly service. The Micheladas are *chefs kiss* and tacos are not dry at all, which is always a dread of mine when trying new places. Highly recommend! read more

I had food there before. That was good but this time I ordered it to go. It was the worst chili riano I have ever had. I called to tell them and the lady on the other end of the phone hung up on me. Guess they don't care about their customers or what they think. I'll never go there again, no? read more

Great food! We had garlic prawns and the steak platter, with corn tortillas, and two juices (piña & tamarind). The cashier initially forgot about our drinks and the tortillas, but quickly got them for us once notified. The tamarind juice was exceptionally good. read more

Their food is ok but not fresh. The food seems to just be reheated. My daughter is obsessed with their horchata. The lady I do have to say is very welcoming and friendly 10/10. We stopped coming bc the last time we went the lady/owner had her kids coming in and out of the kitchen. read more
