I like this Clovis location, the fifth and newest in the Fresno area for this family-owned restaurant. Housed in a former MOD Pizza, it features a spacious dining room with plenty of tables and chairs, along with a sizable patio strung with café lights that creates a welcoming atmosphere. Although Don Pepe is often celebrated as a no-frills, hole-in-the-wall taqueria serving authentic Mexican food, I actually prefer this location because of its roomy layout. It is also noticeably less crowded than the Blackstone Avenue location near Gettysburg Avenue or the Woodrow Avenue restaurant across from Fresno State, making for a more relaxed dining experience. While Don Pepe is best known for its shrimp and fish tacos, combination plates, and other seafood specialties, I almost always find myself ordering something filled with carne asada or pollo asado. As soon as you walk in, the aroma of the meats grilling in the kitchen fills the restaurant and immediately whets your appetite. The carne asada is made with thinly sliced, good-quality beef that is smoky, deeply savory, tender, and juicy, with beautifully charred edges that add even more flavor. The pollo asado is equally impressive. It is juicy, tender, moist, and caramelized from the grill, with just the right amount of char to give it a delicious smoky finish. One detail I especially appreciate is that the tacos and burritos are topped with whole pinto beans, a style commonly found in Northern Mexico. The beans are creamy, rich, and deeply savory, tasting as though they have been slowly simmered with bacon and onions, much like frijoles charros. While this style is less common in much of California, I enjoy seeing it here because it adds another layer of flavor and authenticity. The tacos themselves are enormous, generously filled with meat and beans. With prices starting at around $3 each, they offer outstanding value. The housemade salsa bar is another highlight, with fresh, vibrant salsas ranging from smoky and earthy to intensely spicy, offering something for every palate. Service has always been friendly, fast, and efficient. I am a fan of Don Pepe's consistently delicious food, and this Clovis location strikes an excellent balance of flavor, quality, generous portions, speedy service, and a spacious, comfortable dining environment. read more

Ordered a super Buritto and some tacos with my brother. Tacos came loaded with meat. You add in your cilantro and onions/sauce at the sauce bar. Very filling and full. The Buritto was just okay. I wasn't a huge fan of what was inside but it was still really big and filling. Tons of tables to sit at. Staff were nice and helpful. read more

Don Pepe Taqueria - Super Burrito and tacos - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, California

Service was fast. The staff is friendly and welcoming. They have an open kitchen on this location. The ambiance it's very casual. I see a lot of people coming in and out. They order on the phone and they just come eland pick up. We order our usual. We could taste the difference between the other location and this one. My husband mention that the rice on his tacos had more flavor. My daughter said that the beans are cooked different. And they do. They added peppers and onion when they cooked them. So weird she can taste that. She said mom? The beans taste different. But her asada taco was good. Same as the other locations. The tostada I ordered tasted the same to me. It was good. Spicy and sour. Yum. Fresno people love Don Pepe. read more

I've had Don Pepe's before but I wanted to give this location a try. I got one taco of Carne Asada and one of Chicken (both with beans). My husband got one Asada and one Al Pastor. As per most locations, they packed the tacos with meat and an extra tortilla to get you nice and full. The asada and al pastor are always our go-tos but I wanted to give their chicken a try. By itself with the beans was O.K. (just wish it was a little charred) but when I added their pico de gallo and green salsa, it was good. The inside was nice and clean as well as their restrooms which is a plus for me. read more

Best food I ever had i highly recommend and everyone is so friendly and kind you can taste the love in every bite

Crazy good food , quick and very good service - phenomenal as a first time visitor - won't be the last!!

Food is good. I had a torta sandwich and it was delicious. The service was great and it was clean inside the restaurant and comfortable. They had a nice salsa bar as well. read more

I love this place! They really make great chili verde. My wife and I always split a burrito. I had Al Pastor taco in the past and it was meh. While asking the Yelp community about the best Pastor in town, a fellow Yelper suggested Don Pepe. Thought I'd give it another try. This time I decided no beans. I can say that Al Pastor here was not good. Very dry. I don't think the use pineapple. I can saw the chili verde here is really good. The service here is great. When you order for dine in, they bring it to you. read more

This has become our favorite taco spot after a Costco run. The asada is packed with flavor, and the tripas tacos are cooked perfectly every time. They also have really good service! read more

The service was fast, but the customer service could have been friendlier. The person who helped me seemed irritated. Our food came out quickly. I ordered an asada super burrito, and my daughter had a carnitas super burrito. The food was okay overall. Prices were a bit on the high side, but they do have a salsa bar and free refills. The place is pretty big overall and a lot of seating for your convenience. read more

Don Pepe Taqueria - Asada super burrito - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, California

Another establishment I won't be returning to. Wanting a tip at payment? Just to bring your food to your table? Ridiculous. Food isn't that great. Tables were dirty. Floors were dirty. Cilantro at the salsa bar was old and nasty looking. read more

Honestly we've been to every location with our favorite being on blackstone and Gettysburg but this finally opened and is so close to us. We finally got the chance to try it today, and it was so good! Fast service, hot food and a clean salsa bar! This one has the largest seating and is definitely not congested feeling. So happy to have one close to us now!! read more

Don Pepe Taqueria - Ceviche tostada - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, California

Always amazing food at all locations. Price is right. Carne Asada is really good. My husband gets the lingua which he likes.

I have been waiting for don Pepe to open up since forever! I did take them a while to open, but the wait was worth it! I grabbed a bacon breakfast burrito and oh boy did it not disappoint! Filled with bacon, eggs, potato's, cheese and beans goodness! It's a great size for only $10! The flavors are amazing paired with their green salsa! Don't forget to try their chile verde and shrimp as that's what they are known for! They are located in the same shopping area of Costco, located next to the Starbucks. They just opened today and I will definitely be a frequent customer! They have open and ample seating. This place used to be a pizza place, so they took over all their furniture. So you'll definitely not have an issue finding seating. Their salsa bar is phenomenal and full of choices! No shortage there. All in all, I love this place already and cannot wait to go every day! (As long as my budget allows me ) read more

I didnt think I needed to make a review for this low of a rating, I am regular who comes here 3-4 times a month to order the menudo thats only on the weekend, my family comes here a lot and spends over 100$ dollars because we enjoy the food, we always get the super burritos or the tacos, we have tried a lot. Today, we went an ordered the combination plate, 2 menudos, lengua super burrito and shrimp burritos. The food is very tasty but the service on the other hand was terrible. I am someone who likes to use a lot of condiments. The staff had told me i was getting too much sauce and condiments and this wasnt the first time I have done this. Are you kidding me? I spend over 100$ dollars and they are telling me I am getting too much sauce. That was very not right telling a regular that. I dont even know if I want to go back after that. Its just the audacity of telling me that was crazy to me. I will to now go to a different location as this was very unacceptable. read more

This place is not too far from my house so when we are craving tacos this is where we go. I must say they serve a lot of meat on their tacos so even with 2 tacos you'll be good! I've tried the lengua and asada tacos. The asada ones are okay. The lengua ones are my favorite, they are really good. The service is fast and overall it's a decent spot for some quick tacos. read more

Was craving their nachos... No welcome this time. Did not pay attention to their closing time so we felt rushed. Please do not sweep/mop while you still have customers. And please do not have the same person who is cleaning/handling the floor mats bring out our food.... As we asked if carnitas taco was correct, wife pulled a long hair...was immediately addressed and replaced but cubed pork was bland,flavorless. Like pre-chile Verde. My pastor taco barely had any meat so will try something else. I drove to Kings Canyon one in front of Walmart and was sooo glad to have one closer but I might have to go back to Fresno location if this Clovis continues with subpar experience. And I will never apologize for being a "pocho". Watch what you say, I understand Spanish, i just don't feel to speak it. Please do better...I rooting for you since we need more mex food in Clovis read more

The spicy shrimp burrito at this location seems to be worse than the one at the Fresno State location sadly. Both times the burritos were loaded with mostly rice and very little shrimp or avocado! read more

We live about a mile away so we decided to try this new location and ordered take out. I had a shrimp taco and beans and rice. Shrimp was cooked perfectly. Big taco. Beans and rice was large enough to feed 3 people. Tortilla was very soggy and greasy. Taco needed a crunch factor like cabbage. Lime and cilantro would have been nice. Beans were very salty but good other than that. Rice was nice and fluffy. Everything was kind of one note. read more

I loooooove don pepes, the one by Fresno state at least... this new don pepes never gets the order right EVER. I ordered here probably 3 times now because I like to not get upset over one order. Three times is the final NO. They just don't know how to read what I order I guess. I'll just stick the one by Fresno State, if your going to own a business chain then make sure your staff is all trained the same in consistency. Please do better. read more

Don Pepe Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, California

has ordered here several times never had an issue this time they gave me somebody else's order and not my bean and cheese that likely I had caught it but then they advertise nachos and they show this beautiful picture of cheese in our chips and me and guacamole and cheese and all of that But that's a picture of their super nachos which is not on their menu and there is no drop down so they're regular nachos are nothing but chips and cheese. They charge you four bucks for. and she told me there was nothing I can do because I didn't order it from DoorDash which is what I did and I even showed her the code that DoorDash sent me and they just flat out lied will not go to someplace that does not own up to their mistakes and know that they're cheating people by miss leading them read more

Considering how many good Mexican restaurants are in the area nothing here stands out. Good or bad. I did like a salsa bar type setup. Little on the pricey side. I'm not a Mexican food connoisseur by any means, but thought I tasted better at any number of places. That said, I wish them well. Tough business to be in. read more

Place has great food, local Fresno chain. I think it's the better spots for Mexican food.

Don Pepe is a great place for tacos and burritos. The business opens at 10:00 a.m., so I go there a late morning breakfast burrito. You order at the counter, and they bring the food out to you. The salsa bar has many delicious options. My grandson raved about the cheese quesadilla, but the chicken quesadilla was too much for his younger sister. She loved it, but it was too much food for her. We'll split it next time. A kids menu with smaller portions would be great, but it's easier to have them cut food in smaller portions. Beverages can be purchased in bottles at the counter, where they offer Mexican sodas and beer. Cups can be purchased for the soda dispenser. The service is friendly, and they keep the restaurant clean. You can tell it's a good operation with the many families eating there. There is seating at tables and booths. Parking at the Clovis Costco location could be a challenge, Don Pepe shares a location with Starbucks and a dental office. read more

The food was bad , meat was dry and tasteless , and the Michelada was a 0/10 , and let's not even talk about service , Our server "Andres" couldn't be any less of an a**** , touched our food when I nicely asked him which burrito was what , responded back hella rude. Like the food was already bad and service too , worse experience ever. Never coming back again. Oh and to the server "Andres" get a new job if you hate what you do not my fault you work at Don Pepe. 0 stars for the service read more

I recently started going to this restaurant , and it has quickly become my new favorite. I don't like to cook but I do like to eat. The customer service is excellent and the food is cooked fresh, served hot and immediately. Everything I've tried is good and very reasonably priced. Chipotle use to be my go-to, but this place has currently taken its spot. read more

Yum! Delicious beef and pork tacos, homemade beans and flour tortillas. And the salsa's so fresh. Can't wait to go again!

I order a chorizo breakfast burrito today and it was terrible it had like 75 % beans hardly any potatoes chorizo was nasty . First time walking into a Don Pepe's . Will not be returning Have to say the cashier believe her name is Stephanie was very nice. My advice if you order burritos make sure NO BEANS cause you will end up with a BEAN BURRITO it just was not any good. I do not even want to give them one star . This was at the new location in Clovis by Costco read more
