    The dudes cocktails on 12/01/24
    Angie R.

    The dude and I came to Salsas as a few colleagues recommended it. We heard so many great things about how the food and drinks and had to try it. To start, I really enjoyed the chips and salsa, which is refreshing as they were complementary as nowadays some places charge for chips and salsa. Not here! The salsa is rich in flavor along with the addictive chips! Pairs well. We came about an hour before closing so was pretty empty qnd a large party just finished as we were being seated . I ended up getting the chile relleno plate. The Dude got the fajitas. I was able to try some of the vegetables of the fajitas which was packed full of flavor and crunch as sometimes overcooked vegetables can be very mushy. My plate can't go wrong at all. Loved the flavors and large portion sizes! Even the small salad was tasty. I ended up getting a blended cocktail. They are huge and it was a struggle for me to finish it. And that's a good thing as they are not skimping you out on the portion here. The staff was very friendly and enjoyable. Overall, we had a lovely time here. The food was tasty. Delicious I highly recommend definitely will be back.

    First off, the wait staff is delightful at a mid-week lunch. Gracious service. Immediate greeting. Care and attention to requests. I was delighted to learn they make their own tortillas. I ordered what they call "taco salad" with carnitas. It was served in a large fried tortilla, reminding me of a chalupa served for decades at El Toro Tambien which we have not been able to find since ET closed up shop. The carnitas surprised me...large chunks of pork, but cooked well. The room is large, and if it got crowded, might be noisy what with hard surfaces and high ceilings, but for a mid-week lunch, the ambiance was just fine for conversation.

    My favorite place to get a hot bowl of Albondigas! The vegetables were tender and flavorful. There were five meatballs, three corn tortillas, and the right amount of rice nd cabbage to fill it in. The chips are crunchy and fresh. The taco salad, which my honey ate, was filling and delicious. Our service was friendly and quick. The restaurant was nicely decorated with twinkling lights and a football game showing. A few couples, families and singles were enjoying a quiet meal in Old Town Clovis on a weekday evening.

    Clovis-I was really missing Mex food, living in Florida, so we went to a local favorite in town. They did not disappoint!! Although the Cadillac margaritas were on the watered down weaker side, the specialty Chile Rellenos were SPECTACULAR!! We each tried a different style of the good ol Chile Rellenos! Rellenos De Queso with added beef. Rellenos De Mar and Rellenos De Res. All three were so packed full of delicious that we were raving for the rest of the night! The grilled shrimp were good perfectly with a bit of char on them. There were raisins and pecans on top of the Rellenos Res, they were chef's kiss! Portions are large with amazing beans and rice. Service was good but not overly attentive. Definitely will return when I'm back in California!

    I'd come back just for the homemade tortillas and empanadas. I ordered the chile rellano plate. This pepper was stuffed with cheese, ground beef, and came with a side of tortillas. I thought this was weird, but once I tried these flour tortillas I was blown away. These were so good, that when I shared a bite with my wife, she immediately ordered two more... and then order another two for the road. They make all of their tortillas and empanadas dough in house! My sure Chile relleno was amazing and even though I was trying to get full, I ate the entire plate, which was massive! My wife loved her empanadas and my son especially loved his pozole. You can tell a Mexican restaurant is legit, by two different ways: 1) Their tortillas. Which I already said were amazing. 2) They're salsas and chile aka hot sauce. Salsa's hot sauce and salsa were both incredible. I couldn't stop eating the salsa that came with their chips and I asked for an extra side of their verde hot sauce. All of it was fantastic! We really loved the service and the friendliness of the staff and we especially loved the super chill vibe on a Sunday afternoon!

    This is a good spot for Mexican food in the Clovis area. Located in the main town area, it has ample street parking and dining tables. We went with a large group and had no issues accommodating us (11 people). The food was yummy and my favorite thing was the tortillas!!! They are house made and sooo delicious. Fajitas and chile verde plates were the favorite! Tasty and flavorful salasa as well!

    Out of the seven or so items we tried, the albondigas soup (though small for the price) was great and the carne asada quesadilla was good, as was the salsa. The enchilada sauce was oddly thick and the cheese inside was not melted. The chile verde was comically salty. The ground beef was tasteless, as was the rice. The refried beans were grainy. The shredded beef taco was ok, but in a pool of water. The service was great, but the meal ended with a check that had additional charges for cheese in the bean and cheese burrito and a credit card fee. Don't think we'll visit again.

This is just a beer bar, so beers and seltzers only. I went with the Crow and Wolf Ocean Blast seltzer; a blue coconut, mango, pineapple, and lime beverage. Insanely good and refreshing on a hot afternoon. My wife went a peach seltzer that was just as tasty. We sat in the backyard area, that offers plenty of seating, a few TVs, and a ordering window so you don't need to head to the inside bar to order more drinks. The out area has smoking and non-smoking sections and is dog friendly, but they must be leashed. For food, we went the tri-tip BBQ pizza and a soft pretzel. The pizza was delicious and the perfect size for two people. Huge chunks of tri-tip, spicy BBQ sauce, and very cheesy. I asked for jalapenos on the side for an extra kick of heat. Right now is the perfect time to hit up this place since the weather has been so beautiful. Make sure to check their Instagram page for live music and keep supporting local!

They had lots of outside tables, lounge chairs, live music, a fire pit, and games like Jenga and corn hole. They also had a bar with beers but no cock tails. They had a little arcade area with indoor seating. We ended up playing ping pong which was fun but since it was dark they didn't have good lighting beside the one light bulb from the wall. I got a dark horse drink which was pretty good. They had small bathrooms but I liked how they decorated St Patrick's theme. They also sold food and snacks. There was a cute cat in the cafe too. The music was cool and even saw a couple people dancing. It's a nice spot to bring your friends or go on a date night.

The shrimp scampi was well-seasoned and flavorful, paired with risotto that was slightly undercooked but not enough to take away from the dish overall. The chimichurri steak, on the other hand, was cooked perfectly and seasoned beautifully--the chimichurri sauce was definitely the highlight. Our server, Jen, was also acting as host and bartender, and she handled it all impressively as the restaurant started to fill up. Even while understaffed, she kept everything running smoothly until additional staff arrived. Overall, it was a great experience

Wife and I both ordered the specials, she ordered shrimp over rice that looked pretty good, I ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad. I come here two to three times a month, great staff and great food. Otherwise... I wouldn't come back as often right? The Southwest Chicken Salad had a drizzle of BBQ on griilled chicken, perhaps a spring mix of lettuce and leafy greens, corn, beans, battered and fried jalapeño, and drizzle of ranch with a sliced avocado on the side. Damned if I didn't get the perfect bite with the greens, beans, avocado, chicken, and fried jalapeño... simply amazing. Flavorful, with heat, but NOT spicy... Had a really crappy day, this lunch turned things around. If you are in the Fresno/Clovis Area and have NOT tried the local, you are missing out.

During the day the 5th is a relatively mellow environment usually filled with an older crowd or people just getting off of work. The friendly day time bartenders are more relaxed and at ease in reflection of the crowd that populates the bar at that time. As the day progresses and the night shift clock in, a younger crowd starts to trickle in replacing the day crowd. A second bartender and security comes on, to help deal with a burgeoning crowd. On the weekends often a DJ will be brought in to help keep the crowd entertained and attract more business, usually leading to even a larger crowd. If you've ever worked in the industry you know how stressful working those shifts can be, either as security or a bartender. Sometimes mistakes happen, but more often than not people neglect to give a full accounting of the situation. I love the 5th, and while I usually go more during the day, I have gone in on a number of occasions during the evening and found most of the staff to be friendly and professional even given the stress inducing crowds. Prices are fair and the drinks are solid.
