We came for a Father's Day celebration with a large group and sat outside. Service was friendly and quick, and they did a great job keeping up with our table. Water glasses stayed full, and they were constantly bringing more chips and salsa. The chips were really good, although the salsa was a little too spicy for me. I ordered the Street Tacos Only plate and did 3 carne asada and 2 chicken tacos. They had a little more cabbage than I would have liked, but the chicken tacos were my favorite. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and really good with a side of pico de gallo. One of my family members ordered the birria tacos, and after seeing those come out, I already know what I'm getting next time. Overall, a good meal, great service and a nice spot for a family gathering or margaritas for date night. read more

Wouldn't be my first choose for Mexican food but it's okay! Actually really like the hot and spicy tacos, I would for sure order them again. Love their seasoned chips too! Service was good, our waiter was attentive and patient with our group. Food came out pretty quickly! Ambiance isn't the best but it's whatever. read more

Mama Iguana’s - NEW - STRAWBERRY CHICKEN SALAD - SUMMER ONLY. Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

Mama Iguanas may have a new name, but it's still the same great owner! The restaurant recently got a bit of a facelift with fresh paint and an updated interior, and it feels bright, clean, and really refreshing while still keeping that fun Mexican restaurant vibe. The food is consistently delicious and comes out fast, which I always appreciate. Our orders have always been correct, and their chips and salsa are hard to beat. One of my favorite parts is the bar scene. The bar area is lively and a great place to hang out with friends, watch a game, and enjoy a drink. It has a really fun atmosphere. The staff is another huge plus. Many of the servers have been there forever, and you can tell. They are knowledgeable, efficient, and know the menu inside and out. And Susie, the owner, is incredibly sweet and personable. She really makes you feel welcome and it's clear she cares about her customers and the experience people have when they come in. If you haven't checked out Mama's since the refresh, it's definitely worth stopping by! read more

Ordered on doordash. It was not good but not bad either. I wish the chili verde was more spicy for sure and also more juicy. I've never had such a Dry wet burrito which does not even make sense. This tastes like Bobby salazars and I was really not impressed. read more

Awesome dinner! We've eaten here over the years and have always had great experiences. Recent name change, but they're still the SAME people, staff and food items!!! The owner is a long time restaurateur and knows how Mexican dishes should be made! Cute interior, all decorated for Christmas with a Snoopy theme. I was craving an old favorite (a fancy type burrito), but I couldn't decide between the chili verde or chili con carne. Our amazing server solved that issue for me and let me have it half and half! Oh, so good! The chips and salsa are very tasty there and service was impeccable. Even though there were several Mexican eateries closer to home, a visit to Mama Iguana's was definitely worth the little road trip. Oh, they have a big enclosed patio for bigger groups, too! read more

Just had a sampler plate. It was ok. Ordered a side of fried flour tortilla chips n salsa. Chips were cold so asked the waiter whether they shouldn't be warmed up or kind of temp hot. She said no. Curious, because they were cold and subsequently there was an unpleasant taste of cold grease and a texture. Not sure I will re-visit anytime soon. Mama-Needs to do better. Oh, the margarita was a bit "weak". The complimentary tortilla chips are also a bit light. I believe they charge if requesting a second serving of chips. What's wrong with these places-tortilla chips, beans and rice are cheap staple food items. Want people to re-visit? Give them a reason. Somewhat ridiculous. Whatever. read more

The food is awesome. The staff is extemley friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant

First of all 5 or 6 chips and a small cup of salsa! Then if you wanted more your going to get charged. Come on, chips and salsa make you drink more. Next we ordered the Fajitas steak and chicken combo. That was not fajitas meat, I don't know what is was. But I do know it was tuff, hard to chew. As for the chicken, it was so dry I had to dip it in the salsa to get it down. There was no seasoning to call this a Mexican dish. The only good part was we left. read more

Chips are fresh and warm while the salsa is spicy and fresh. Top shelf, Paloma margarita taste like summer. read more

Mama Iguana’s - Top shelf margarita! Chips and salsa doesn't get any better than this. I am very happy and I'll be back again. - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

In the mood for Mexican cuisine then Bobby Salazar Mexican restaurant is the place for you. You have the choice to eat in with friends family or solo. Or to for takeout. Recently stopped by in person to place a take out order in their window adjacent to the restaurant. The service was very helpful and prompt throughout the entire process from placing the order to receiving it. The restaurant is always in a decorative festive atmosphere. There's music playing in the background. My mom loves their fish tacos on corn tortillas. Their chips and salsa are yummy as well. I highly recommend you check out Bobby Salazar. read more

Food was pretty delicious, but the salsa was a little off and the chips were awfully greasy. Possibly a new batch that didn't drain for long enough? Lacking in some needed seasoning for most of the dish, but the limes were ripe and juicy adding a flavorful layer! Everyone was very kind and upbeat! Excellent service! However, the food took a very long time to show up. I don't know if it was because of my dish or not, but the wait became concerning after a while. The place as per usual is nice and clean, but the added Halloween decorations were an excellent addition! We go here now and then. It is missing that memorable factor to be a favorite, especially with the higher quality Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

I will not be ordering from this location -- or Bobby Salazar's -- again. The short rib dinner is no longer on the menu, and my $19 carne asada dinner was sorely lacking in carne. The serving of steak was an ounce and a half -- I weighed it because I was in disbelief at how small it was. The enchilada was soggy from swimming in sauce. Ugh. read more

Mama Iguana’s - My dinner came with 1.5 oz of steak. Yes, I weighed it because I was shocked at how small it was. - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

So thought I would share my experience today from bobby salazars on champlain and perin! All of the staff was on point today, very busy weekend for them. My experience there today. Was unlike other days as busy as they were, I was still tended to immediately. Everything was right that came out. My drinks were delicious, very personable staff. Had a great time there today. I would highly recommend that you check 'em out. You won't be sorry. Great atmosphere great employees great owner! After writing my review, I then went through the reviews. I was disappointed to see that people would judge this place based on a single experience, people, you have to understand there is a transition period when the economy is struggling small businesses as such have to adjust in some way to continue serving you! We as a community Should stand by our small businesses,our restaurants and not complain, because we had one bad experience! Take a step back, look at yourself. I'm sure you've given a bad experience and we're not highlighted for everybody to see! I maintain my review. And all you negative reviewers. Don't be so quick to judge the place. Rather, give it another shot and see how it turns out. If it's the same, by all means, write your review!!!! read more

Ordered a three item combo for $23. Got a cheese enchilada, two mini bean and cheese burritos. The burritos were so small! For the price I highly recommend you go up the street and get casa or toledos. Over priced small portions. My son ate all of it and was still hungry. read more

Wonderful service and great food! I've had to order many food trays for events, and they are always extremely delicious and this location has provided great assistance. Jasmine has been my go to person for always helping and providing the best customer service. She is so friendly, knowledgeable and will help answer any questions. Her recommendations have been perfect and even ordering meals to go, she offers the best suggestions. My parents also rave about the food and service. If you want quality food and excellent assistance, I highly recommended Bobby's at Champlain. read more

The service was slow, the michelada was not good at all. The wife had tacos and they were not good. Some sort of weird, rubbery olives. I had the burrito bowl, which was pretty decent. Overall, Bobby Salazar's continues to disappoint.. read more

Mama Iguana’s - This was not a good Michelada. Maybe the bartender had the day off. - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

I had the steak and shrimp fajitas and my wife had the Birria tacos both were okay but they needed some more flavor the service was awesome

Food could be alot better My burrito was literally just refried beans n meat for $13. Not trying to bash but theres better burritos for $13. read more

Do not recommend going to this place, Bobby Salazar's use to be better than this place. So the best part of my dinner was the rice and beans, the meat was over done and seemed like it was sitting awhile, it was just a mess of a dinner and I will not be returning to Bobby Salazar's anytime in the future. read more

We just moved here not long ago from Ventura county. Looking for our new fabulous Mexican restaurant. This is OK. Wet burrito is fabulous. Chimichanga had beef but no other cheeses or seasonings. - really dry!! Fiesta platter is great but taquitos are dry and over cooked. Salsa is thick and fresh but needs more seasonings. Margaritas are average. Suggestions - Provide forks and knives before food arrives and gets cold. Burrito is fabulous- keep it going margaritas need more flavor - Cadillac normally has floater for Grand Marnier- offer as a shot! Thanks!!! The search goes on read more

I hosted my daughter's bridal shower on the patio. We contacted Susie from Facebook and she sent pricing and all the details about renting the patio for a private party. We ordered the appetizer platter and a 2 item combo buffet lunch. We brought In decorations and desserts. Our event started at 1 pm and we could set up at 11 am. There were 2 extra tables for gifts & desserts. We stayed until 4 pm when another group was coming in. The waiters made sure everyone had drinks and served our food buffet style. The prices were very reasonable. It rained during our event and the patio protected us from the weather. I would recommend Bobby's if you need to host an event for a large group. read more

Food and service was excellent. Party of 8 and the restaurant staff was attentive and accommodating.

This place has sure changed for the worse. Last two dinners very small portions, little meat, small amount of cheese, chips and salsa in really small bowls now. The waiter said they were instructed to cut portions to save money. He also got complaint from table next to ours and took pictures to show his manager. He gave a 50% discount. This didn't help with our terrible experience. Went in the next as courtesy to talk to manager. She was very aggressive, took no accountability, really rude. I told her she lost my business after 10 years, she didn't care at all. Place had no customers, just a matter of time before bankruptcy. read more

We've been coming in for years to dine in and takeout and we can't say enough good things about it! The strawberry chicken salad is a favorite during summer and so refreshing! We usually order takeout with Jasmine and she's the best! Always fast and remembers our order by memory which gives my husband and I a good laugh when we call. We can't recommend this place enough to friends & family! read more

Came here after my high school graduation. service was terrible, mango salad was just taco lettuce from the bag with literally 5 pieces of dry chicken and 4 pieces of mango which was "mango salsa". I am very disappointed in the food. They did take off the good margarita and the sopa de albondigas that we sent back. Not to mention the littlest amount of chips they gave us Highkey could've made a better meal if we went to save mart. THEY DIDNT EVEN HAVE HORCHATA. They were nice however the chef does need some feedback... read more

This place never disappoints! We never have to wait for a table. The service is 15/10. Everyone there is always so nice and attentive. Thank you Ashley! We will for sure be back. read more

My wife and I were shopping in the plaza that Bobby Salazars is located at. I told her how I had childhood memories of the old Bobbly Salazars, we made an impulse decision too eat here and they did not disappoint! The food here is sooooo good, and we could tell the food was made with attention too detail! We will be back for sure! read more

Really Great service yet again! I called in the order for lunch for my mom and I this time. I ordered a chicken and shrimp Monster bowl for myself and a Carne Asada and shrimp Monster bowl for my mother. Also, with extra jalapenos and guacamole on the side. The worker that took my order was very kind. I was told it would be 15 minutes. I went to go get it and the worker was masked and nice. The order was ready. I paid for it, was wished a good day and left. Appreciated! OMG! Can you say extremely Fresh and Delicious? The chicken and shrimp was cooked perfectly and tasted really good with the black beans, rice and the guacamole made it even better! Plus, the jalapenos added a nice, spicy kick! My mother loved her Carne Asada and shrimp too! She thought it was very tasty and good! She loved their chips and salsa too! Fantastic lunch! Great service and delicious food! Highly recommended!!! They deserve every star!!! =) read more

We have actually only eaten inside the restaurant once. But we order food to pick up at least twice a month from the Champlain/Perrin location. The food is always ready on time and one of the few places that get it right! I've never have to check the order when I pick it up. We've never been missing anything or gotten the wrong order. The food is always hot and fresh. The Maui tacos are amazing! The staff has always been very friendly when I pick up also. The restaurant itself has festive decor and a large enclosed patio area. Perfect for large groups or events. We appreciate the ease of ordering, the accuracy, the great food & friendly staff! read more

There are no words to describe how thankful my family and I are for this restaurant. My mom graduated from Fresno State and we wanted to throw her a nice party without having to worry about everything. A cousin recommended reaching out to Suzy and asking to reserve their outdoor patio. Suzy and her team were INCREDIBLE!! They reassured us every step of the planning process and handled everything. 75 people showed up and everyone fit comfortably. We were allowed to show up early and decorate the tables. We fit in a DJ in the corner and had a dessert table along with our seating arrangements. Our server, Jasmine, was the absolute best!!! She was efficient, quick, friendly, and made sure everyone was taken care of. The food was delicious and Suzy made sure we were all comfortable with the heat by putting on fans and misters. We had plenty of food leftover so when people got hungry again as the night went on, our servers warmed up the food and made additional plates for people. And then at the end of the night, the team cleared EVERYTHING!!! My mom was so happy and I will always be thankful for Suzy, Jasmine, the bartenders, and the rest of the staff. Planning a celebration? Reach out to Suzy at this location; you won't regret it!! read more

I grew up eating at Sal's and then later Bobby's in Old Town and it it the standard that I compare all Mexican Food to. I moved away 20 years ago and I still have not found better Mexican Food. read more

We actually didn't even get as far as even eating the food. I went to the takeout window and the service was so bad, we ended up just leaving. Thd girl was beyond rude. I would leave less than 1 star if possible. Bummer, too, because this was our first time trying Bobby Salazar, and def the last. read more

I stepped outside of my regular order and what a disappointment I ordered a little extra to try something new

This Bobby Salazar's is the best Mexican Restaurant around town. They have the best food, the most friendly servers, the best drinks and the most ample portions for the money. We go there every Saturday Night. read more

The one star is for the server...he was very good. When our lunch came out the portions were about 1/3 smaller than normal. We thought something was wrong as the chip bowl was 1/2 full...had to ask for another bowl..1/2 full again...as well as the salsa bowl? We brought it to our server's attention and were told that they had cut down on the portion's because of costs...he said he had complaints since this started. He proceeded to take 50% off...very fair! He brought out the table next to ours food and asked if he could take a picture to show the manager...because the portions were so small. We asked to talk to the manager but they were not available. We stopped by later in the week and my husband asked to speak with the manager...which is the owner...told her the issue...we didn't want $ or a free meal...simply let her know! She was defensive and accused my husband of harassment!!!! What...? he was simply letting her know that we were dissatisfied and wouldn't be back if the small portions continued...! We would rather pay more than get small meals... Ex: My tostada compuesta looked great but ended up being mostly lettuce with very little meat....same thing with my husband's burrito...it looked smaller and had very little meat. You can't hide the smaller meat portions with lettuce and beans!!! So, now we go to Sal's, a little further away but remains a good value for the money! There is a reason this restaurant isn't busy when Sal's is packed! read more

Ill start with the food. It was okay at best. I had a shrimp burrito that was tasteless. My son had the short ribs burrito and that was good. The Nachos was shared between my wife and daughter it was just okay. The drinks were an issue. It's impossible, so i thought, to screw up Tequilla, neat. My wife and mother in-law ordered Casamigos Reposado. This drink should be golden in color. They brought back to clear glasses of tequila. We explained we wanted the reposado, and person who brought it said house tequila was poured. 10 minutes later, 2 glasses of clear tequila once again arrive. We said this isn't reposado. She said" yes it is, i saw the bartender pour it". No matter what you saw, this reposado isn't supposed to be clear. We decided to cancel the drinks. towards the end of our meal, the server brings back 2 shot glasses, that are not clear but colored with Casamigos and said we wanted you guys to have a good experience, this is on the house. My wife pours it in a clear glass and it is now golden colored. That is shady as can be. They were trying to pass on cheap tequila as another brand. I'm 54 and have never experienced such a thing. I would never go back to this restaurant ever again. i could not attach a photo of what the drink should look like, but you can look it up for yourself. The manager of that restaurant should be fired for trying to rip people off or for not knowing that this exists in his or her restaurant. read more

I have eaten here a few times and honestly each time the food tastes good and the drinks are well made. We got seated quickly and our server was attentive. The food came out quick and tasted good. We were waiting for our check for a bit but we were talking as we waited and i figured he didn't want to bother us while he chatted so I paused and he came right away. We sat inside the restaurant at the booth and the table felt oddly high as it came to chest level and the cushion in the booth was very flat. Next time will try sitting at a table to see the difference. Overall the music wasn't too loud and the restaurant smelled like good food while we waited for ours. read more
