I love Mexican food and I'm 1/4 Mexican. This place has been around since 1976 so if I'm a bit…read moreharsh it's because they should know better. I checked Yelp but I neglected to sort by date. Some of the best reviews were many years ago. I ordered the chile verde burrito, wet, and my girlfriend ordered the fish taco Friday special. Chile verde has different sized pork chunks in a delicious green sauce but the meat was inconsistent in size with most pieces being rock hard, or fat/gristle. No pieces were tender. Chile verde should be tender. I can make better Chile verde in an Instant Pot with pork shoulder and a jar of Herdez green salsa. I trim my meat well though. No surprises. The fish tacos were attractive. They resembled fish sticks though. They had a bread crumb coating, were cooked earlier, and reheated before putting in the taco shell. Not beer batter fried aka Baja style. The taco shells were soft yellow corn tortillas with the texture of flour tortillas. These tortillas were really good! Avocado and fresh cilantro was a nice touch. No special fish taco sauce was used, but might improve the fish sticks. Rice was a solid hit for both of us. We make it like this at home with shrimp/tomato bouillon. The beans were ok. I ended up "returning" the inedible chile verde and they dutifully replaced it with a different burrito. The service was 5/5. The place itself is clean and neat and spacious. No complaints there.

SERVICE : Great cusomer service with minimal English. They tried their best. They'll make you feel welcomed and come around to check up on you and asked for the experience. RATE : 5/5 AMBIANCE : Tiny little shop with plenty of seatings. It is well kept, cleaned, and updated. They get rush here and there which it may get pretty pack and busy. But the best part is that they get their food out quick. RATE : 5/5 3 QESO BIRRIA TACO W/ CONSOME DEAL ($14.99) : I wanted the consume too with 1 of my taco. But they don't sell it separately on days that they don't sell. So I had to get the 3 birria tacos with consume deal. I love how fast and fresh these tacos came out. My tortilla came out crispy just as I expected. The meat was still moist and juicy from sitting. The cheese just melts. Dipping this taco into my consume was the best experience. The taco picked up the flavor and soup to well. My taco just became extra wet and juicier than I was expecting. All of the flavors were there. I love the balance of the flavor. These birria tacos have all of the texture but it needs the consome to complete the flavoring level! I recommend their birria tacos with consume. Or just the birria taco by itself is great also too but I still do recommend the full experience with the consume. RATE : 5/5 OVERALL : I love their birria tacos but i felt like I was expecting more of a unique taste and feelings out of this taco so I docked down a star. It is pretty basic but very good. It is one of the top taco shop in Clovis side of the town though. I'd definitely go back for more and try other dishes. Robles do stack their food portion and it's so worth it! That is a plus side and besides that their food is pretty good.

There's plenty of parking outside since it's next to a bunch of stores and a movie theater. It wasn't crazy busy on a Saturday afternoon. We probably got there after the lunch rush, though there were still a decent amount of people inside. Between the four of us, we split about 3 dishes and it was extremely filling! There was definitely a lot of food to go around. Food was decent as well, nothing extraordinary or notable comes to mind, but serving size was big (as alluded to earlier). The servers were also super nice and attentive. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area.

We both had plenty left over to take back to our cabin, and luckily we had a full-size refrigerator! Each dinner also comes with your choice of things like soup, salad, or a tostada, plus unlimited chips and salsa. You definitely get a ton of food for your meal. The wait was pretty long when we went, so keep that in mind, but we enjoyed the food. They also have pretty decent options for kids, and I noticed they serve breakfast too. We'll have to come back sometime and try breakfast. Overall, good food, enormous portions, and definitely come hungry!

It feels complete and I LOVED their aguachile here!!! Spicy, zesty, chilled, and generous with the onions and cucumbers and avocado. It took longer to come out for sure, but when I tasted how fresh it was, it totally made sense. Each bite was humongous since I needed each component to make it perfect and I am so glad they gave enough toppings to complete each bite. AVOCADO IS NEEDED FOR SURE, the creaminess calmed down the spice and it was just delectable. It was so spicy that I had some stomach pain after, but the shrimp was also definitely basically completely raw as well. Take that as you will but every shrimp was perfectly deveined and this aguachile was a 1000/10. Thank you to the cooks and cashiers here! All super nice. We asked for more tostadas and they gave it to us free of charge. When the cashier told the cook, he was like "IS IT DELICIOUS" and we shouted across the restaurant that IT IS SUPER DELICIOUS. This will be my first pick when I go back! Most people got the burritos and stuff and those looked bomb too.

Not a lot of options when you're driving down the 5 unless you're good with McDonalds or otherwise…read more This was a pleasant surprise as a humble restaurant attached to an ARCO. It's pretty small with maybe 10 or so seats and some little cultural decorations. The guy at the counter is nice and walks you through the what you're ordering. They have a pretty wide menu and we got the pollo supreme burrito which comes with rice, beans, onions, sour cream, and cheese. The chicken is a chipotle chicken that is tender and flavorful. They toast the tortilla which gives it some depth of flavor. We got it spicy which gives it some but not a lot of heat. Overall, a great spot to get some food on a long ride between NorCal and SoCal.

Do you own a dog? Then this is possibly your only viable location to stop that has actual grass…read more Everywhere else has wood chips or artificial grass. I've been interested in eating here for about a year. For about a year, we have been making Dunkin Donuts our mid-point stop on our way to the beach. Both to and from. That's because we always bring our dog with us. Plus my youngest always needs to "go" before we reach our destination.. Idk why I posted only this, but there's much more to talk about. Today, we pushed ourselves further than we should have and are in desperate need of food. The majority want Mexican, so I suggest Chalio's. There are other Mexican restaurants, but this one is in the main area and looks the most maintained. Looks can be deceiving though. Maybe at one time this was a decent sit down restaurant. Now it looks pretty run down. The restrooms are the most telling. I don't think anyone really cleans them. Probably just restocks them. The trash cans were overfilled, and the menu has also been taken over by bright paper covering old menu items and advertising new. Considering the size of Kettleman, this is par for the course, sadly. But the food. The food is great. We got the birria tacos and asada fries because they were out of nachos. What was supposed to be a quick to-go stop turned into a sit down because the kids asada fries took so long. I didn't mind. I was driving and needed time to eat. The birria tacos themselves were just OK in my opinion. Nothing a few squeezes of lemon wouldn't fix. But my friend from Ghana who traveled with us was blown away. He got the regular tacos, which have become his favorite food here in California. I guess if you've never had birria tacos before, these would be good. His eyes widened from his one bite, so it looked like he was experiencing something spiritual lol. If you're looking for clean restrooms and good Mexican food, park at Dunkin, do what you need to do, and walk over
