Las Mañanitas — Restaurant in Clovis

Our family stopped here after watching the hot air balloons for ClovisFest, and the environment seemed promising but it was bit of a letdown.

We tried ordering a few items, only to discover they were out…a half hour after opening? They didn’t have milk (we tried ordering for our son), or juice, and the burrito I got advertised tater tots but came with potatoes - no issue, but the info wasn’t communicated. I also left to move my car, so we could have closer parking after we walked Old Town, left, came back 10 minutes later, and the waitress still hadn’t taken our order.

I had a breakfast burrito, and it was absolutely oily. The only time I’ve remotely had something so greasy was when I’ve ordered chorizo at other spots, but even then it wasn’t as bad as theirs, and this was a sausage, egg, cheese and potato (supposed to have tots). My wife’s plate was tasty, but also seemed slightly cold?

Side note: there’s only one bathroom, and it only allows one patron at a time - not the best for a busy day like the day we experienced.

The gal at the register seemed preoccupied when I came to pay, which is fine, but she didn’t ask me how our breakfast was (I would’ve explained that I was unfortunately disappointed) nor did she thank me for coming in.

We wanted to like this place, given the overall ratings, but we...

The location has been decorated nicely. Small dining area, lots of sound from music and loud conversations. The restroom not in the best location as it opens right up to the small dining area. Suggest they have separate menus for breakfast/lunch and dinner. As they do not serve the entire menu. Our waitress was very friendly. Sadly that did not make up for the OVERLY SALTY FOOD. The salsa over my torta aguada was very salty. The pork was over cooked and dry. Nothing close to Mexico's food. Tried the 2 crunchy tacos. I would swear the tacos were air-fried and not in oil. They broke apart, so used those as chips. The carne asada not that flavorful. Sazón is everything when it comes to authentic Mexican food. Had to pay at register. Not sure if he was the owner, but took a minute for him to come to register. Wasn't paying attention to us at all. While waiting, we saw it was an open kitchen. So you can see them preparing the food. Some girl with no gloves, long nails grabbing up the carne asada to put on top of carne asada nachos. Hopefully those hands & nails were clean. Unfortunately not a good experience, went on a recommendation. I would not recommend. Lots of other locations with a more authentic...

We decided to try out the new Las Mañanitas location today & as expected, everything was amazing as usual! We got there around noon & there was a short wait time to get seated but that didn't bother us because we know this place is worth the wait. Our waitress Sofia was quick, attentive and recommended the Mom's Special for my boyfriend and he had never had it before and he was really happy with the recommendation. I got my good ol trustee chilaquiles clásicos with the medium spicy green sauce; these chilaquiles are some of my all time favorites! Something about the spicyness of the sauce, mixed with the tang of the purple onion, with the smoothness of the sour cream and then the cheese, ugh you just can't go wrong. On days I'm feeling brave I'll even kick it up to the spicyiest they can make! Overall everything was amazing and we will definitely be coming back. It's a cute small spot that's worth trying out! They close at 2PM for their breakfast menu but they reopen at 4 PM for their dinner menu, so we will definitely be back soon to try...
