Chips and salsa with some beans.
Alma P.

Service was great, ambient was very pleasant. We came for lunch and we saw that they serve chilaquiles. If you know me you know I love chilaquiles. My friend got the same but green salsa. I got the red ones. I don't think they used fried tortillas. They were too soft and soggy. Usually they are fried first and then dip in salsa. They were just plain. I do t know if I will be back because this is in Visalia far away from home. They water was purified I was grateful for that. My friend said the same thing about her green chilaquiles. She did mention that the Jamaica drink she got was great. The bathrooms are clean and there have plenty of room to seat inside. They have music and TV.

Enchilada platter
Kevin L.

Great to see this great old spot coming back. Friendly family run business and you can feel it in the service and taste it in the food. Plenty of room for large parties and authentic old Mexico vibes. I had the 3 enchilada dinner and they were perfect. The beans that come in the side and with the chips and salsa are the real star here! Great prices and delicious food, I will be back!

Had a celebration in their back room and it was good! The staff was very accommodating and they had another party plus customers coming in. The bar was friendly and variety of drinks! I will say their food is flavorful also, the Owner and his family were amazing. Wishing them the best in the business!!

Trio Enchiladas Plate
Hilda V.

Delicious home cooked Mexican enchiladas, rice and beans. The enchiladas were made with two different enchiladas sauces a red and green. Corn tortillas made in the restaurant. The rice fluffing and tasty. Give El Nuevo Presidente a try, a family owned restaurant. Rafael our sever was funny and took good care of us.

Service was absolutely incredible. Rafael and Wendy were so kind and welcoming they truly made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. We came for lunch and had the taquitos, homemade guacamole, and chilaquiles, and wow... every bite was out of this world. They start you off with warm homemade chips & salsa and bean dip. You can genuinely taste the love and care put into the food. It's hard to find really good Mexican food in the Central Valley, so we were beyond excited to discover this place. The staff truly wants you to be happy and enjoy your meal, and you can feel that love in both the service and the food. We can't wait to come back!

Carnitas plate with no rice double beans. Delicious!
Yaz V.

Back again Yelp. I tried the carnitas plate. Omg so delicious. And the portion was really large. My wife had Pozole and really liked it. The staff as always is friendly. The restaurant is clean and large. They have a tv on with sports and music in the background. Always an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Mojarro Frito (whole fried fish) in an amazing garlic sauce...
Brian B.

The wife and I drive around on Saturday mornings with the Yelp app open, while searching for a new spot, a possible "Gem" in the Visalia area. Last Saturday November 8th was not a disappointment. We chose El Nuevo Presidente on Santa Fe street. From the moment we walked into other door till the very moment we exited this fine establishment, we were greeted and treated to some of the finest and gracious service I've seen in a long time in my 60 years. The menu had many great selections, with great prices as well. My wife ordered menudo, and decided to try the mojarro frito (whole fish) in an amazing garlic sauce. Our meals were very tasty, so tasty we order two soups to go. Albondigas & Caldo de camerone (shrimp soup). I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to experience and enjoy the taste of true authentic Mexican cuisine. El Nuevo Presidente is ""Superb"....

Chile rellanos! Best I've ever had!
Rene P.

This place was amazing. Had the chile rellanos and my friend had the tri tip and ribeye tacos. They were huge! This food is legit and the staff are incredibly kind. Their jamaica was the best I've ever had. Definitely will be back!

Menu

We arrived at 5:30pm on a Tuesday and were seated immediately. We were greeted and given menus. I decided to get the giant tacos and my girlfriend ordered the chicken enchiladas. The tortillas for the tacos were handmade. The ribeye in the ribeye steak taco was seasoned well, not too salty or bland. The Enchilada Plate was also tasty but was too much for my girlfriend to finish, so we took home the leftovers. Restaurant was clean and the music was playing at an adequate volume . They do have a TouchTunes set up. All was fairly priced, we will be coming back.

Quality tacos, meat, and customer service. The girls are fantastic and so kind. Tortillas are homemade and made to order.
Adelli M.

My new go to Mexican food spot and I have never had a go-to Mexican spot before. The girls here are so kind and amazing. Very attentive.

Come eat here everyone is very nice and polite also good coffee and had the chilequiles and chile rellenos, nice atmosphere. Come out and eat here Visalia you will not be disappointed.

Carnitas plate
Efren Q.

Been a long time since wifey and I had a lunch date. We usually try some place we've never tried before. This place did not disappoint! The food was not only delicious but it was ready and on our table super quick. The lunch special prices were perfect. Maggie was super nice and her service was excellent. I highly recommend this place.

Poor seafood flavor and quantity. Misleading portions and lack of flavor in shrimp sauce. Bread in tortas too hards and feels old.

After I got taken out to Ruth Chris by the big boss, I felt a little bad my crew wasn't invited,…read morebut that would have cost waaay too much. So I told my crew since we were in the Visalia area we could go to a nice dinner at Texas Roadhouse. I think my expense account can handle Texas Roadhouse. NO endless alcohol, we're NOT do'in that! This location was easy to find, it just next to a Panda Express on South Mooney Blvd, just south of Visalia Parkway. Way easy parking. We got here before the crowds built up, they always do at Texas Roadhouse. We've been to other locations so my crew know how it all works here. Drink orders are taken by our friendly server. The inside here looks pretty much like all the rest of the Texas Roadhouses. I told them just get whatever you want. One guy ordered the full rack of ribs, another got the bone in ribeye, the other girl got the filet medallions and another got the ribeye as well. Appetizers were the onion blossom thingy, and a couple of orders of the potato skins. The food actually arrived pretty fast and it all tasted super nice according to the crew. Those potato skins got gobbled up fast! The ribs were super fall off the bone and the steaks were all cooked as ordered, med rare .... no well done shit with these guys! We took our time and spent maybe 2 hours eating dinner. No way I wanna spend that kinda time for lunch during the work day, but a thank you dinner for a good job it all good.

I'm genuinely disappointed with the food quality here, especially for a restaurant that proudly…read moreclaims all their sides are made from scratch. The mac and cheese has been consistently watery and lacking flavor each time I've tried it. The steaks don't seem seasoned at all simple salt and pepper would make a world of difference. After writing the place off, TikTok convinced me to give it another shot because people were raving about the pork chops. That was a mistake. I've never had meat that dry. It felt like chewing sawdust, and my jaw was done after two pieces. I took the rest home for the dog. It's frustrating because I truly respect how much gratitude this business shows toward veterans, but with how expensive the bill was, the food should be prepared far better. On the positive side, our waitress was friendly and attentive. However, if you plan on having a couple of beers, order two at once they won't arrive until your food is about to hit the table. Overall, I'm saddened that the food is subpar, especially given the potential this place has and the values it stands behind.
