Chilaquiles Plate
Vanessa S.

Stumbled upon this place as it was close to our hotel. Not only did we come here one time but TWO times before we had to fly back home. We first came here Saturday morning, right before they opened and the owner treated us very well and everything tasted so good and authentic!! The 2nd time we came here was on Sunday morning while we were watching football and they treated us so good again!! This place does not disappoint and the food is even better!! You definitely have to try this place if you're in the area and it's good to go in the morning as the afternoon does get packed. The drinks will have you wanting more as well! Definitely will be back when in the area again!

Happy hour drinks 3-5pm

Quesabirria Tacos are 10/10, do it! Prompt & such delightful service @ Fuentes Restaurant & cantina. Quesabirria Tacos were top notch! Rarely have I had the privilege to enjoy a meal so delicious! Many thanks

First I must say this place is very, very good for authentic Mexican food. My friend took me here and there was a total of four of us. As we sat down, we were greeted immediately and had chips and salsa brought. While we looked at the menu, we were asked about our drink choices. Clearly 3 of us ordered adult beverages. Two of us ordered the margaritas and they are huge and yummy! I ordered chicken mole, two people ordered the birria tacos and one orders the protein molcajete. When the food came out, I was surprised at the amount of food in the molcajete! It's huuuuge! So be forewarned, if you order this, you'll either take plenty home or don't eat all day before coming in to finish it! My chicken mole was delicious! The spices were very perfect and the lens to heat ratio was perfect! My friends stayed their birria tacos were amazing too! Full of flavours and everyone was happy with the amount of food! The ambiance was fun, and service was impeccable. They make you feel very welcomed and very family friendly, fun place to be. There's a parking lot in the shopping centre where this restaurant is located with lots of room. I'd definitely recommend this place for any occasion!

Delicious food, authentic, and good vibes. Located in a weird location, but kinda nice tucked away. Service was wonderful. There were some issues with our order but staff took no time to make it right. A definite visit when in town. Delicious margaritas and great happy hour!

We ventured into another town for lunch. We have exhausted all the places where we live. Now onto…read morethis amazing meal. We entered and were greeted by the sweetest waiter Ivan. This young man was the best. We were brought chips and salsa, and we also requested the extra spicy for the Hubby. The mild was perfect for me. The chips were nice and crunchy with a great corn flavor. We did order a sangria for me and a margarita for the hubby. They have a really nice lunch menu with great prices and a very extensive regular menu. I ordered the #6 off the lunch menu. A chili relleno with the sauce on the side and a crispy ground beef taco. The rice was so good, great flavor as well as the refried beans. 5 stars for each of these. The taco was so full of meat (ground beef) and fresh veggies. The chilli relleno was huge and perfectly cooked. I get my sauce on the side so leftovers will not get soggy. Now this sauce was like a ranchero sauce, looked like onions, celery and maybe tomatoes in it. It was really tasty. Hubby got a #13 off the regular menu. 1 enchilada, he got ground beef, 1 crunchy taco with ground beef and a tamale which was shredded beef. I tried the tamale and it was very delicious. We did ask to speak to the Manager who looked a bit nervous coming over. We explained to him it was our very 1st visit and won't be our last. We told him everyone wants to call you over to complain, we were like we wanted to give you major compliments on everything from the awesome waiter Ivan to the food and atmosphere. Music was at a perfect tone etc. We were seated by the bar area in a booth. Very nice in that area. We will definitely be going back

Gayle was off with her Sister on a Cruise, or what she calls "Sisters Without Misters" or "Misters Without Masters". I was coming in from Markleeville and stopped in Minden for gas an a burrito combo to take home as my first "bachelor" dinner. I hadn't set foot in this building since McDonald's was here, and found that the subsequent renovation to be impressive. I'll need to come back for a sit down with music, but for this visit it was a To-Go order at the counter. The order came out relatively quick and hot, so much so that I had to be careful taking it back to the car. It was a huge amount of food and so much so that it was good for 2 very satisfying dinners. Even a little microwaving on Night 2 didn't really dent the experience. My only quibble is that I prefer black beans to refried, but either forgot to ask or wasn't sure.

I agree with another comment--the house-made potato chips are beyond salty. But they are still…read moregood, just wish they could use a little less salt. Their salad wraps are huge, fresh, and delicious. Much like the rest of the food on their out-of-the-ordinary menu. One word of caution, if you go when the dining room is not busy, you might be better off sitting in the bar. The waitress stays mostly in there, and dining room service can be painfully slow. Otherwise, I highly recommend this longtime neighborhood favorite!

My husband and daughter and I were in town visiting grandma and grandpa. It was Grandpa's birthday…read moreand we wanted to take him somewhere different than the place we always go to. I checked this place out in the afternoon before deciding to go to dinner there. It looked pretty casual in the menu look like something everybody would enjoy. When we got there, we were greeted nicely and our server, JC, was very nice. All of the food was bountiful. We ordered the appetizer with three different items which was pretty good. It was onion rings, fried zucchini, and fried mozzarella sticks. The zucchini was a little undercooked. On to the main courses. It took longer than we would think and they brought it out in pieces. The two men got theirs first and my daughter and I got hers a few minutes later and Grandma was served last. Grandpa ordered a steak sandwich and he said it was good. My husband ordered a Philly cheese steak, which she said was decent. Grandma ordered fish and chips and she said it was so so. The french fries were thick steak type that were really good. A couple of us tried them. My daughter and I were excited when we saw the lobster tacos and we ordered them. The chips that came with them were salty beyond belief! We could not even eat them. When I told JC, she said there's nothing they could do about the chips and she offered to take the salad off the bill which I thought was nice. Both of my daughter and I could not eat the chips. The lobster tacos were not good. If the corn tortillas were warmed or cooked, it must've been very, very little. The lobster was chopped up in a wait and mixed with some kind of sauce that we can barely taste the lobster. We got two tacos and barely ate one. We took them home, but it didn't seem worth it to try to mend this. The best thing I can say is that the people they were very welcoming and pleasant. Also, JC gave my father-in-law a lemon bar for his birthday as we walked out. That was really sweet. Lastly, make sure you bring cash because you have to pay extra for using a card. We have to pay over $6 extra because we used a card. Am I understanding is that is happening a lot in restaurants. So, I don't think this is unusual.

It's the nearest practical airport to me. South Lake Tahoe is too busy and at high altitude as is the Truckee airport. I takes more experience to deal with the high altitude. The Taildragger Cafe is right here at the Minden Airport. Basically walking distance from where you can park the plane. The food here is very popular breakfast food, but they do serve all day till dinner even. Service is super friendly and efficient. The inside has I good view of the airport runways and planes. The full menu is posted online on their FB page. We had some lunch and did our meeting. I had a cheeseburger with fries and my boss had the Citation sandwich, which was roast beef with cheese and caramelized onions. My burger came with fries and we shared an order of onion rings. My burger was pretty good, cooked med rare as ordered. Pretty standard burger. My boss liked his Citation sandwich with the caramelized onions. The onion rings were decent as well. He had coffee too, and it was kept full and hot by the server. I'm glad this little restaurant is out here at the airport, it's a good place to have if you fly in and need food right away. The little airport I have in Redding has a Chinese restaurant with a view of the runways! I'll take little airports over big ones any day!
