Reviews
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!!
This local Mexican gem is undoubtedly one of the best in town. It's my go-to place for an authentic culinary experience, particularly their standout Al Pastor tacos. The tender, marinated pork bursts with flavor, and each bite is a symphony of savory and tangy notes. With its good service and dedication to authenticity, this restaurant is a must-visit for Mexican cuisine enthusiasts.
Service was great, food tasted great. Husband had tripas tacos and I had the Chile Rerelleno.
The restaurant part is closed but the Mexican market serves food and it's DELICIOUS!! There isn't anywhere to sit and eat the food you order but that is not an issue!! The ladies that work there are so nice and accommodating. We ordered Chili relleno burrito - super simple just a chili relleno and refried beans but sooo good. The relleno was stuffed with cheese. Tacos de buche- meat was moist and tacos were STUFFED!!! Quesadilla de carnitas - the meat was moist and easily about a pound of meat in this quesadilla!! This was a road trip stop and when we are in this area again we will definitely come by.
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!!
