Tacos y Mariscos Las Espuelas — Restaurant in Fresno

As I've said before, I make pretty good Mexican cuisine myself, so I usually pass on tacos, enchiladas, burritos, tamales, etc and go straight to the meal I find most difficult to prepare: Chile Rellenos. On my first visit here ever (hard to believe I've lived in Fresno for 34 years and never noticed this place before) it was no different. My friend and I both ordered Chiles Rellenos; his with red sauce, mine with green sauce.

We were NOT disappointed! The Chiles Rellenos were delish, made with a nice-sized, meaty, chile (pretty sure it was a poblano), well stuffed with cheese, nicely coated, and topped with green sauce and more cheese. This is the only place I've ever had white beans the way they served them - loved them. Overall, as you can see it was a hardy portion that besides the Chile Relleno and the beans had nice portion of Mexican rice and a small salad.

… And what you don’t see here: chips and salsa - and piping pot fresh tortillas.

A fantastic meal for $12.99!

Fast and friendly service.

I definitely plan on returning and taking my wife. Having passed the CR test I plan to try some of their seafood on...

This place was decent, but now not so much. My wife and I went recently and the servers are horrible at their job and shady!!!!! My wife ordered tacos de Cameron plate, looking at all the other shrimp items, they were all grilled, so we assumed and the menu said shrimp and not battered and fried. When the plate came it was battered and fried, my wife said this is not what I order, our server Daisy E said that's what it said on the menu, she looked and it did not, she did not even take the plate back - my wife pushed it towards her and she walked away. Minutes later she came back with a grilled shrimp taco with 2 pieces of shrimp and said try it. I knew they were going to charge us for the whole plate. Sure enough they did. We left and did not tip. Also I ordered a Diet Coke, they ran out and I said give me water. After seeing my receipt they charged me for the soda $3.25. Pretty shady that they won't take back the plate and make you pay for it. We come here about 1x a month for our Mariscos but not anymore. Stay away from them and their business practices. Last $$$ they'll ever...

I am in shock, usually this restaurant has good service and food. My recommendation is, if you’re going through eat here, only eat seafood dishes. Other dishes are no good. Tacos de cabeza you can tell were boiled instead of steamed- so much water came out of the tacos. Was given no salsa, had to ask and was given 1 salsa for 2 people. Don’t get caldo de res, it’s not good, doesn’t have much veggies, only had cabbage, 2 pieces of carrots, a piece of chayote, and cabbage. This isn’t a real caldo de res, when I asked the server about veggies- she cut me short. Also it doesn’t come with rice. Servers kept ignoring me when I needed something, not attentive to our table. Bathrooms were dirty and urine on seat. Gross, you can tell that they haven’t cleaned it in all day. I’m highly disappointed, restaurant is far to expensive for this to be happening- service here has...
