    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.

    Great time here! The service was quick and the food was great. The carnitas with the homemade tortillas was the best! The fish tacos were also great and strong margaritas! Love the rice and beans

    Had a great experience at Salsa's Cantina. We were seated promptly, and the drinks came out quickly. I ordered the posole, and my friend had the chile verde burrito. The food was very good, especially the handmade tortillas. Everything had great flavor, and we also really enjoyed the chips and salsa. Overall, a very enjoyable meal and great service.

    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.

    Rellenos de Res

    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!

    Chile Verde

    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!

    3 item combo
    Larry D.

    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.

    Flour Tortillas
    Lai W.

    We came here for lunch. It's a family owned restaurant. Its decor was chic in black and gold w/exposed brick walls and metal cutout art. The women's restroom was nice and clean. Anyhow, we were greeted and seated right away by a friendly staff member. I had the Carnitas w/flour tortillas, hubby had the Relleno de Mar also w/flour tortillas, and daughter had the ground beef enchiladas. Hubby and I were surprised by the white Spanish rice! I was a little concerned, but my fear was unfounded as it was very flavorful! The refried beans were delicious, too! My carnitas were tender and also very flavorful. I've never seen shrimp-topped Chili Rellenos before, but the shrimp were perfectly cooked. They were surprisingly spicy! Hubby ate all of his food! We all enjoyed our lunch.

Coleslaw (that's what the server called it) was very good. A nice new thing to try. Fajitas were very tasty and came with rice, beans, pico, sour cream and guacamole.

    ORDERED: Tacos de Pescado…read more Was in town & wanted fish tacos before driving 3 hours back home. When I walked into the restaurant, the place smelled delicious! It made me very excited for the meal. The salsa for the chips actually had a spice to them - which I loved!! I ordered the fish tacos & when they came out, the plate was super hot (I was warned)! The rice & beans were good & warm (nothing stood out though) but the fish tacos were so hot that I had to wait a bit before eating them (not a bad problem to have). I wasn't too sure what to expect for the fish tacos but when receiving them, it was slightly disappointing to see that the fish tacos were so plain... The fish itself was lightly seasoned & the 2 additional salsas that were brought to my table definitely brought more flavor. Both the tomatillo & Maria salsas were very good but I couldn't decide which was my favorite so I just kept alternating between the 2. The Mexican salad, of course, brought out more dimension & made it refreshing when added to the tacos. I think a creamy salsa or avocado would've made the meal better but I forgot to ask. If I was craving fish tacos (the thing I order most), I can't say I would come back here for them, but I would come back & try a different dish from them. The staff was lovely & attentive! BATHROOM: I did stop by the bathroom before heading out but there was no air circulation in there at all & on a 100+ degree day it felt like a sauna... in a bad way... Came into the restaurant at 1:30pm on a Sunday & the bathroom trashes were overflowing, there was no toilet seat covers, & it gave an overall sticky feeling. Unfortunately, neither of the stalls had a purse hook on the door or walls either. The restaurant itself is very cute, but the poor attention to the bathroom was a little surprising.

    I don't think I've ever felt betrayed by Yelp reviews...until now…read more During a recent road trip we stopped here to picked up some lunch/dinner because tacos are quick and easy and their Yelp rating is high. Location/services: Upon entering the building I immediately noticed the heat. It was a hot 98 degree day and the restaurant felt like an oven and was maybe 3-5 degree cooler than it was outside. I then quickly noticed this was a very simple operation (almost like a food truck), and not much to the menu, but there were folks sitting and eating and a few others waiting to order, so I assumed the food must be great. We ordered 4 meals (tacos with rice/beans) which was meant to be eaten there but after waiting in line and feeling like we were in a hot box, we decided to make it to go. We sat and waited for our food (about 20 mins), we chatted and observed our surroundings and it became very apparent the restaurant was not maintained with basic cleaning because it was very grimy and just plain dirty. I then used the restroom and it was absolutely disgusting. Our ordered was called and the staff was very nice. The food: As I mentioned, we got 4 orders of tacos (all carne asada) with rice/beans, and we asked for salsa and limes. We got grilled jalapenos, lemons and one sandwhich baggy filled with red salsa. Not a big deal. The meat was fine but the tortillas were inedible. They were tough, flavorless, and greasy. The bean and rice were ok. We ate enough to curb our hunger but none of us finish our food. Upon my best judgement, I had convinced myself that the food was gonna be great because their Yelp rating told me so. I was so wrong! One last note, there was nothing here that resembled a bakery/panaderia. So if you think you could also grab a treat here, you are wrong.

What could have been a disappointing surprise turned into one of the best local dining experiences we've had in a long time. We had the pleasure of meeting Miguel himself, and his hospitality immediately stood out. He took the time to introduce us to several items on the menu and encouraged us to try a little bit of everything. I'm glad he did. The red beans and rice were absolutely phenomenal, and every single thing we tasted was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with pride. You can tell Miguel genuinely cares about both the food and the people he serves. What impressed me most wasn't just the food--it was the atmosphere. Miguel has a gift for making you feel welcome. His heart for hospitality is second to none, and it's obvious that serving great food and creating a great experience are his top priorities. If you're looking for a hidden gem in Clovis, this is it. Whether you're stopping in to catch a game, grab a meal with friends, or enjoy a simple flip-flop date night with your spouse, Miguel's is worth the visit. We'll definitely be back, and I can't recommend this place enough.

Miguel sells his auntenthic mexican food and Lisa sells her favorite sweet treats. By far on the market, they sell pretty bomb salsa! It's not like the generic salsa from store bought one, it's just like the unique homemade family recipes. And trust me, these are not as supper vinegary. I love Miguel's salsa! Miguel's message was to serve his community and bring his tradition to the table. He brought the flavors of Michoacan and Jalisco Mexico which were passed down from the Segura family. SERVICE :: I love Miguel's service! He personally serves you and greet you there. He offered me free chips and salsa while i wait. They were quiet busy but get things done quickly too. RATE : 5/5 SALSAS & CHIPS - COMPLIMENTARY:: His salsas and chips were the best thing I've ever recieved. He serves his famous red and green salsa with a little bit of ground beef on top. They go so well together. RATE : 5/5 RED SALSA :: It's hard to describe it here but it's roasty burnt salsa full of flavors. Not too vinegary. You just got to try it in person. RATE : 5/5 GREEN SALSA :: I personally love the green sauce more, in general. And still Miguel's green salsa still beats the red salsa. I can taste all of the greens and fruit in it. It may be advertised mild but the heat is there. It's about almost the same spice level as the red salsa. RATE : 5/5 ASADA TACO ($3.49) :: Besides his salsa, his tacos were amazing too. It's well seasoned, unique, and full of flavor. The asada is something that I've never tasted before. It's very herby, well seasoned to taste, juicy and tender! RATE : 5/5 TACOS DORADOS ($4.49) :: The tacos dorados were something different from what I've had before and were absolutely delicious. This taco reminds me of birria. The texture and flavor were also amazing. I asked for pork, it was supper moist, tender and juicy full of flavors. The cotija cheese brings a nice dry and light cheesy taste to it. And lastly, those pickled jalapeno just give a pop of juicy, sour, and spicy flavor. RATE : 5/5 PISTACHIO CREAMES ICED MATCHA (16oz - 6.49) :: Lisa use Tenzo brand. I've used and tried Tenzo before and it's hard to ratio the matcha. Over portion Tenzo match will be too bitter and too little too diluted. And yes, Lisa's Matcha was on the diluted side. The pistachio flavoring is light and taste artificial. The sweetness level is perfectly sweetend. Not too sweet. RATE : 2/5 NOTE : Spend anything above $50, get a $5 dollar off voucher for the next purchase. OVERALL :: Overall, it's a hidden gem that's definitely worth checking out! Don't forget his salsas, he do sell them on the side. I'll definitely go back for more and try his other menu!
