Taco Tuesday
Crystal G.

BOGO on tacos - tried the tripas, carnitas & barbacoa tacos. Carnitas was def my fav, they have an awesome after school menu for kids too.

a plate of mexican food with a side of guacamole
Anthony D.

I noticed the new Don Chepe location several weeks ago, and decided to see what is up, and stopped in today for lunch. There is quite a large menu with options from Mexican food to burgers and fries. Most of the menu is Mexican Food. The restaurant itself is nondescript with zero personality because the location has housed quite a number of different businesses over the years. I ordered the "Bowl" with Carne Asada, which is a combo platter in a bowl. It looked great and was larger than what I was expecting. Unfortunately, there is not anything more that I can say about it. The bowl comes with the usual suspects; rice, beans, guac, lettuce and your choice of meat. What was lacking in my bowl was flavor. It was a bland as bland could be. My other gripe is that the lettuce is combined with the hot foods, instead of being on the top. No outdoor seating. Masks are not required. Staff is not wearing masks in a high COVID area. A bit pricey for the area. Bland food. I'm sorry to say that Don Chepe is a one and done for me.

Birria taco

Rice and beans are tasty, the servers brought the food out fast and timely, and the salsas were also very good. The Birria taco is HUGE. Very good w the dipping broth.

asada Meat Burrito
Auberi F.

loved it here. came mid day and ate. very spacious area and plenty seating. very nice employees and delicious food for reasonable prices. burrito was delicious and worth the price. horchata can use some work but it's okay burrito made up for it. tacos were okay pretty simple. nice guac though. they have a variety of mexican snacks up front as well as candy. definitely stop by if you're feeling some good mexican food.

Really good ceviche tostadas and sope! Everything was good but the ceviche really stands out. Horchata was good too!! And I read some reviews about the customer service but I had great customer service. I shouldn't grabbed her name. All this food and 2 large drinks for $47!!! The place was rlly clean and has pretty Mother's Day decor up.

Taco Tripa taco shrimp

Inside with no AC.

I came in for the first time today to try this place out. Being local and picky of Mexican food, I had to try something new. My first experience was not good. As soon as I walked in the AC was not on. It was hotter inside than outside. Second I noticed a microwave in the kitchen which scared me at first but then I told myself. Just try it. The last was the worst, my fries weren't fried in a deep fryer. They were microwaved. I also bought my kids tacos which were good looking but was disappointed to see them microwaved as well after she cooked the meat. I probably won't ever eat here again. I hope this review helps others

I was craving menudo on a Monday evening and found this place. Ordered to go, absolutely delicious and authentic! With home made tortillas and everything. Cured my pregnancy craving, I won't go anywhere else in Tulare for menudo now.

This struck us as odd but they do provide free water. You either have to buy the bottle of water or charged for the cup that you then can get water from the soda dispenser. Husband said the rice & beans were good. I had the breakfast burrito that was good size and tasty. Debating about coming back. They also have Coke products.

We tried a quesabirria taco, carne asada tacos(come with guac!!), tacos barbacoa, and tacos al pastor. All were very good. We got the consommé with the quesabirria which we didn't really need but tasty if you like consommé. Our favorites ended up being the al pastor for the flavor and carne asada is solid. Barbacoa tacos were packed with meat. Green and red salsas available red is a bit smoky but our favorite was the fireroasted green. We got limes as well but something on the peel smelled string of a cleaner or disinfectant. Each taco is about $3 pretty good for the amount of food and toppings. Hope they do well!

Really good and their pozole menudo and birria is apparently made fresh every morning. Which is a rarity.

If you're wondering why a little Mexican seafood joint in Tulare, California, has a perfect 5-star…read morerating, I'm about to tell you. That rating was enough to bring me in the door and the place definitely lives up to the hype. We came in because we were visiting town and needed to try a new experience. Just the thought of shrimp, much less drunken shrimp, has my mouth watering. The restaurant itself is in a strip mall but is very nice inside. I was immediately impressed by the service. The woman who helped us was very nice and patient and answered all our questions about our to-go order. SHe even came over twice while we were waiting to clarify details in our complex request. The food took a while to come out, but when it did there was a gentleman who opened each box and described the contents to make sure we were satisfied with both the quality and accuracy of the order. They really went above and beyond in making sure we were happy. As for the food, it was a home run. The shrimp, seafood and birria tacos were all very tasty, especially when paired with the house salsa and the very hit but delicious creamy green salsa. My wife absolutely loved the giant wet burrito with chicken that she ordered. I've had plenty of hit-or-miss experiences with so-called authentic Mexican eateries in this area. Most don't live up to the hype. Mariscos El Camaron Borracho does thanks to great food and even better service.

Food has flavor. Decent portions. Service was good. Prices are decent. We ordered the camarones al…read morerey, one fish and one shrimp taco and a coctel de camaron. The sauce on the food was a bit spicier than I'd like, but I would try again if we're in the area.

I use to come to this place many years ago when i worked in Tulare. Now that I live in Tulare I am…read moretrying to rediscover all the places I use to frequent. Today I went by on a recommendation from my co-worker. He said to try the Tacos Dorados and I Did with carne asada. They load them up all the way to the top, perfectly fried and filled with tomatoes, lettuce, your choice of meat crema and queso mexicano seco. If you love salsa, make sure to ask for some and keep in mine it is hot. Leaves you sweatin and still yearning for more. As I write this review the feeling in my mouth is finally returning back to normal. LOL

So, I had high hopes for this place, but overall it was a bit of a letdown. I ordered 8 tacos (6…read moreasada, 1 chorizo, 1 chicharrón), 1 burrito, and 1 crunchy asada taco. The asada tacos actually had decent flavor -- although the meat was a little on the salty side. Not a deal breaker, but noticeable. The chorizo taco? Honestly, tasted just like the kind you buy at any grocery store and cook at home -- nothing special at all. I was hoping for that rich, house-made taste, but nope. The chicharrón taco was probably the most disappointing -- it was basically a cuerito taco. No real meat, just soft skin, so not what I was expecting. But what really killed the experience for me was the salsa situation. They gave me just two small containers of salsa for everything. The red one was tasty, and the green one was basic but good -- but come on, two little salsas for 8 tacos and a burrito? No limes, no radishes, nothing to help bring the tacos together. We ended up trying to ration the salsa, and without enough, the tacos felt dry. Everyone knows a taco needs to have that salsa dripping down and a good squeeze of lime to really come alive -- otherwise, it's just meat on a tortilla. I'm giving it 3 stars because the asada tacos had potential. But the overall execution, especially the lack of salsa and sides, really brought the meal down. Probably won't be rushing back.

The avocado salsa was the perfect topper. The set up was great! The had everything from cilantro to frijoles and grilled onion. My tacos were nice and hot fresh and juicy. Not to mention service was fast and efficient. Will definitely come back when I'm on the road for a trip.

Asked if this was new development and the lady at the counter said it's all up in the air and there was no chicken yesterday. Due to religious reasons, I can't eat any other meat and they have no vegetarian options like nopales, so I got a cheese quesadilla that I ended up throwing half away because it would have definitely clogged my arteries with all the oil and cheese stuffed in there. It also lacked taste. Rice was mediocre - required lots of salsa to be edible. We came in before the lunch rush, but watched as they called out numbers and the customers would be confused because they had no numbers. Asked for a cup of water and was told we'd have to buy a water bottle. And ambiance has changed as the tables are now adjacent to the truck with music blasting on your ear. Bathroom still clean. But just feeling let down.
