Tacos El Pastor!
Jacob B.

The restaurant itself may not be open right now (though they said they have plans to re-open potentially soon) but nothing has changed since the reviews from 5-7 years ago. This is still without a doubt the best Mexican food in Clovis!! The Asada tacos were top 5 for tacos I have ever eaten in my life!! The service was very fast and the food counter is contained inside a Hispanic grocery store which has a ton of awesome selections including a large selection of Mexican style and queso cheese, fresh fruits and vegetables including dried peppers and huge avocados, a Hispanic bakery, and fresh meats with both pre-seasoned and plain options! This is an incredible hidden gem on Clovis and I can't believe I didn't hear about it sooner!! Come, eat, shop, spread the word! This place is incredible!!

I was having such a hard time finding dried chiles in portales! Drove up to Clovis and oh my the options are endless, they have fresh vegetables, sweet bread, Mexican candy, meats on all sorts and a little restaurant as well! Service was super friendly and fast. Loved it 100% coming back soon!!

Enchiladas Rancheras
Michelle C.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place to be. This place was closed to packed when we arrived. It has such a friendly atmosphere, with beautiful Mexican music playing. We ordered the Enchiladas Rancheras with Red Chili and the Mixed Fajitas. I was surprised that the Enchiladas Rancheras haD carrots and potatoes on them. We usually call them Rancheras if we put an egg on top at my house. They were delicious The beans and rice that accompanied them were good as well. The Fajita beef had a weird taste, almost as if it were about to turn bad or had been seasoned for a different dish. We couldn't decide. Now, if you have any aversion to Cilantro, you may want to skip the salsa bar. Most everything was loaded with it. My downside was that the menu was hard to understand and with a line behind you, it feels like a lot of pressure. I was saddened to see that I paid for a drink, but they do not serve Tea, so water it was. Also, they had no little cups for the salsa bar and it took a while to get some out after I requested them.

Authentic, tasty, and fresh! I recently had lunch here with a friend and was amazed. When you walk in, you go to the counter, order food, then they give you your # and you take a seat. While you wait for your food, you can grab your salsa at their salsa bar. Their salsa bar ha/ a wide array of mild, hot and chile verde (green) salsa along with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, limes, sour cream and cheese. What I love is that everything tastes so fresh, and once one tub of salsa or condiments run out, the servers are quick to fill it. Now onto the food =] I had a quesadilla with carnitas and cheese and asked to add sautéed onions a. The quesadilla was huge! Made with two white flour tortillas, it's about the size of a small pizza and served with a side of guacamole. I also had this with a horchata (a cinnamon rice milk drink) and was pleased to see a great selection Jarritos soda in glass bottles. I will definitely be frequenting this place!

Carne asada tacos

Best Mexican food I've had in clovis. Every bite taste handmade + delicious. BEANS + RICE Their beans were super creamy and topped with cheese. It was a little bit salty, but subtle. The rice were cooked great and had that aromatic scent all Mexican rice wishes it had. QUESADILLA You MUST get their barbacoa quesadilla. The meat is stewed for a while, which adds in the softness and tender bite to the meat -along with the delicious sauce. The handmade tortilla adds to the love that was put into making this item. Highly recommend. TACOS Unfortunately, their tacos were a little on the dry side for me. Just bc they only had the meat and tortilla + onions/cilantro. I think it would have tasted better if there were some source of guacamole or sauce to it. ODD HOURS This place doesn't seem to be opened on Wednesday. Also, they close really early. So just make sure of their open hours before making the trip all the way there.

Guys this place is awesome! They open up at 7 AM and it's perfect on the drive from Lubbock to Albuquerque. The salsa bar will blow you away! Service is fast, the homemade tortillas are amazing, and like I said, the salsa bar will flat out blow you away.

Authentic Mexican food with decent pricing and a wide selection of choices.

I'm here working in Clovis New Mexico and stopping here to eat is a must!! The main thing I love about this place is the true authentically prepared MEXICO dishes. And wait for it....,, fresh made REAL tortillas made from scratch on site daily!!!! If your looking for TEX-me keep driving this is for anyone looking for REAL fresh Mexican food! I highly recommend it! Oh and you can even go next door and buy the hot off the grill tortillas by the dozen!!!!

I wish I knew the ingredients for this salsa. It is the absolute best I've ever had. Not living in Clovis anymore, I cannot find another salsa that compares to it. It makes everything taste so much better.

We were met with a smile by the assistant manager. She was very friendly and helpful. She gave us menus, and when we were ready, we ordered at the counter. Our order was served at our table along with fresh hot chips, and we had our choice of salsa from the salsa bar. I have to say, they were the best chips I've ever tasted. My mom and I shared the beef fajitas. It came with sides of lettuce, tomato rice and beans. My son and his wife had veggie fajitas and my toddler grandson had a cheese quesadilla. My other grandson is still drinking momma's milk Dinner was delicious! We had 4 generations, and we managed to make quite a mess. The staff was very friendly and responsive to our needs. I'm sure my son and his family will continue to dine here, and I will definitely be back on future travels.

The pic speaks for itself. Amazing!!

The first thing to say is that this restaurant seems to be listed under two different names, the…read moreother being "La Espiga de Oro". Not sure why... Anyway, everything we ordered was great. The beans in particular were about the best either me or my wife have ever had. You can be sure they use some lard in there somewhere, if my sense of smell serves me right. The cheese chile relleno was delicious, and my wife's enchiladas were surprisingly tasty for the (apparently) unseasoned chicken inside. The chips were fresh and the sauces interesting. The guacamole was cold and spot on, although it needed salt badly IMO. (note: the guacamole is a menu item, not from the sauce bar). Be warned, some of the sauces at the "sauce bar" can be very hot! Not for your average Northerner. And the decor and atmosphere are nothing to write home about. Kind of stark. But the food is good, and that's the main thing; you're not going to come here on a fancy date anyway... So give this place a try when in Clovis.

After reading reviews decided to give this local hot spot a shot. The location has plenty of…read moreparking and ample seating for dinning in. The decor is a bit dated but is well kept and clean. The menu is extensive with a wide variation of Mexican food. The set up is you go to counter to order and pay then they deliver your food to your table. Decided on enchiladas with green sauce and chile relleno. Order was delivered quickly and warm. The chips and salsa were tasty and they have a large salsa bar. I didn't care for the beef enchilada but the chicken and cheese were excellent. The relleno was not much to look at but was surprisingly delicious. The beans and rice were well cooked but nothing to write home about. Price wise pretty average but definitely will return.
