The Most Flavorful Restaurants in Fresno

"Oh why did we go back and try something again? Lol. The hubby saw a commercial for a $7 Lux box and thought it looked good. I forgot they don't have Dr Pepper anymore, so I ordered a Cherry Pepsi. It was ok. The box had a chalupa which I would have liked if it had been beef instead of chicken. The chips and nacho sauce were good. There was a five layer (I think) burrito) that was pretty blah. Then there was this orange shelled taco that was so salty on the outside, I couldn't eat that. In the pictures it looked like the orange shell was supposed to have a flour tortilla covering it, but it wasn't included. The girl who helped us was nice and friendly. We went through the drive thru which was pretty quick."

"Love and Garlic catered my nephew's wedding this past Sunday night. This was absolutely the best food I've ever eaten at a wedding!! We had a wonderful salad that knocked my socks off! Then pumpkin ravioli, wild rice, and huge portions of stuffed portobello mushrooms! Absolutely divine!! We are a largely vegetarian group, that being said, no one missed the meat!! My brother who is not a vegetarian said, "If all vegetarian food was like this, I could be one!' Don't pass them by, and don't go for standard dishes, they outdid themselves!!"

"Nobody does it better- Dr.Waldrop and his staff have been doing procedures for years and know how to make you look natural without making you look like you have a fake, over done face--Dr.Waldrop never over injects and sincerely listens to what bothers YOU and works on improving those areas-- With an eye for aesthetics- I consider Dr.Waldrop an artist and just trust that he knows what looks right without making me look," Real Housewives Plastic" --reasonable prices and easy appointment scheduling-"

"This place is a hidden gem and a break from Burrito and Tacos (even thought they do serve those as well.)Buffalo Chicken Fries hit the spot! Everyone else said their meals were very good also! We plan to come back and try other menu items here."

"Really great little place with tons of great stuff to look at! Even a sweet cat to pet. It's decorated really nice for the holidays!Highly recommended!"

"My husband has been going to Dr White since he was 16. And now I go to him too because I love the personal interest. I've never had an issue with the girls in the front or the girls that fit you for glasses they are all very nice. Every time we come to see him his office is packed I'm sure it's because he's a great Dr. he doesn't rush through you're appointment he takes his time and listens. We travel from Tulare to see Dr White. Wouldn't do it if he wasn't that great!"

"We stopped by one morning while driving through Orosi. One of the best burritos I've had in a while. Every component was perfect. The Al pastor meat was tender and well seasoned, the beans & rice were great, & we loved the salsas. They have a really interesting menu including chilaquiles & birriaquiles!!! The garlic shrimp dish looked amazing, as well. We ended up leaving with a strawberry agua Fresca which was seriously one of the most lovely agua frescas I've had the pleasure of drinking. Thanks for a lovely quick meal, Elmer!!! Can't wait to come back by for something besides burritos."

"We stopped to go restroom. This store has everything you need. From laundry soap to tacos and burritos. They even have baby formula!! The store and the bathrooms are very clean. We got some snacks for the road and the cashier was very hice and funny!! He asked me "do you want a bag? I said no. He said do you want a receipt? I said no. He asked again do you want your card back? I said YES! Lol!!" I do want my card back! He was a young guy. This place has a gasStation too."

"SF Floral has always been my family's go-to flower shop for special events and occasions. I have always been impressed with their stunning arrangements. Their flowers last forever and always smell amazing! Not to mention the customer service is great, which is very rare these days. For an upcoming event, I ordered the "florist choice" arrangement, and I was not disappointed! The flowers that they chose were so beautiful and unique, and the colors were so vibrant and stunning. They delivered the next day to my recipients, and the flowers arrived on time (first thing in the morning). You can tell that this shop does not cut corners and really takes pride in their work. My recipients were in tears by how beautiful the flowers were. Thank you for going above and beyond!"

"I saw Blanca today for a one hour full body massage and it was Fabulous! It was my first time for a massage with her and I loved it. It was soooo relaxing. The creams she uses feel and smell amazing, and the ambiance is very soothing. I want to tell everyone how great my massage was! Can't wait for next time!"

"6/8/24 Getting lunch! Called and ordered a chicken torta with jalapeños and shrimp ceviche. A little difficult with English, but it worked out. Lunchtime!!Order split. 1/2 of the chicken torta was fresh & absolutely DELICIOUS! The hot sauce they included was really hot and Great! Made it even better!! Tender, tasty shredded chicken & fresh torta bread!!1/2 of the shrimp ceviche was Great! Fresh & flavorful atop the taco shell included! Mother said her half was "wow" Great! Really enjoyed it all!!Good service & GREAT lunch!! Highly recommended!!"

"MinEarl Bier of Cabinetry Design provided the cabinets for our remodeled kitchen. I do not think it would be possible to be happier with the cabinets and their design and functionality. Earl's reasonable pricing and quality are more than we could have asked for. We now have a truly custom kitchen.We worked closely with Earl and listened to his suggestions as well as he listened to ours. All of our cabinets and drawers are soft/auto closing which is a very nice feature. Earl suggested we go with pots and pan drawers which I would recommend for anyone. No more getting on your hands and knees to get that pot out of the back and you can see everything you have in the cabinet. THEY ARE WONDERFUL!!!Earl's brother Kevin Bier of KMB Const did the reconstruction of the kitchen and installation of cabinets.Earl's pricing, quality and selection will not leave you wondering if you used the right cabinet supplier. If I could add a picture I would. That would say it all..."

"Great authentic Mexican food I went in the morning for Menudo and again in the afternoon for enchiladas. It's literally a taste of michoacan highly recommended great service and the have good music too ! Dine in or takeout"

"Cool run down out off the way, hard to find, bumfck egypt, divey dive place high in the mountains. Worth the hairpin turns, get out of the city, hangout. Bikers heaven. Snow up here in the winter, might be closed down, but fkn ay, my kinda stop."

"Gloria is amazing. I have been coming to her for years for waxing. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do my permanent eyeliner! I made the trek from LA to Fresno just for her expertise on my eyeliner."

"They were open late in order to order dinner after a long hike at the Sequoias. After we ordered our food, the business there picked up quickly. There was a line of 3-4 cars. They didn't have anymore adobada (seasoned pork), so we had to order beef and chicken quesadillas. There was A LOT of food for the price. There were 3 large pieces of quesadillas with pickled vegetables and all sorts of sauces and salsas. The quesadillas were loaded with cheese. The chicken quesadilla was very well marinated and very juicy so it didn't need any additional sauces or salsas. The beef enchilada by itself was kind of bland and needed sauces to make it taste better. The food definitely hit the spot after hiking 12 miles though."

"Love it! I ordered their original hot chicken sandwich with a tender, and my partner ordered just the original hot chicken sandwich. They both come with fries. Value-wise, adding a tender is definitely worth it.Flavor-wise, the sandwich looks better than any you can get from a fast food chain, and it was incredibly moist. I had a medium spice level, and it was absolutely delicious.The service was awesome; however, some of the dine-in booth tables were a bit greasy. It would be nice if they cleaned up every time after a customer used them."

"Chile relleno lunch plate delicious, split it with my niece. Will definitely come back. Clean and neat, waitresses great."

"Robert was super friendly in my time of distress with an unpleasant lease with University Place. One of the worst places to live in by far. No proper initiative nor professionalism was proven during my period of estate. I was referred to Robert & during the first 30 minute consultation, I knew I was in great hands. As my lease was broken & the landlord insisted in not providing me with proper documentation of release. It took an hour consultation, work behind the scenes with Robert on developing proper paperwork and step by step approach to the legal matter. He simplified the case & fulfilled his promise of taking care of me in all terms legal. I am so glad I committed to Roberts expertise, no other attorney can really emphasize the professionalism, attention to detail, and proficiency in law better than he did. Thank you."

"I recently moved to this area and I was in desperate need of finding a new hair stylist, did my research about hair salons near me and this one popped up the most, decided to give it a try and they sure did not disappoint. Rosa did my color, I wanted a change from dark brown to red and she did an amazing job, i am so happy with the results, I will definitely be coming back and recommending her and the salon to whoever will listen :)"

"Raquel has done an amazing job on my hair the last two months. I highly recommend her for balayage, toning, and cuts. She is very friendly and prices are decent."

"They are cool people. Authentic Chinese food. Watching them on the woks is amazing. It's the only place I'll go to in Merced for Chinese food"

"This is me and my mini's go to place for the best boba drinks ever! We usually alway order through Door Dash but we happen to be shopping near by and stopped in to order our favorites.The cafe is so cool inside! It's so modern and trendy! I love the decor, the sweet staff and how cozy it is!"

"Great little taco spot! Placed a large order of breakfast burritos, which were great! Service was awesome as well! With their extensive menu, I'll definitely try them again!"

"This place is literally the best "hole in the wall" restaurant in the Central Valley! Everything that is on the menu is Fantabulous! And I mean everything!The fajitas have so much flavor, that they have ruined me for any other place. My two favorites are the chicken fajitas, fajitas burrito and the veggie burrito. But the BEST item that they make is their Nueva salsa and cabbage salsa. I mix the two together and I can eat a giant bowl all to myself! Their Jamaica drink is always on point. All of the employees that work there are amazing and have become part of our family. When we call in an order or walk in, we are greeted like "Norm" as they say our names and ask..."usual order number one or two". It gets us smiling each and every time. We were informed about this place around 20 something years ago and we still can't get enough of it! Heck, we literally went there two times this week lol. So if you are wanting authentic and flavorful food, Taqueria San Jose is the only place to go."

"I like good service, but even more I like professionals who do their job well, very well. At Dr. Marcovich's office I had a wonderful experience when using Groupon for the first time a few months ago and have become his regular patient. A combination of massage with deep pressure from Liz and thorough adjustments by the doc is heavenly for my back. They are on time and accommodate your schedule, work with you on a payment plan and bill insurance as a courtesy. I am glad I finally found a good chiropractor here in Fresno."

"Also the best boba and drinks in town. Fresno boba that is authentic! Service is always quick and thoughtful. Thank you!"

"I hadn't been down to the trucks at Enzo's Table for awhile and ventured over at the weekend.I felt like trying something new (well, something other than tacos) and there were an abundance to choose from. Ohana Shack caught my eye but they were sold out of everything. Ba To had a pretty wide menu so I decided to give it a try. The lady who served me was really friendly, asked how I was doing and made small talk. Ordering into a high window can feel a little awkward but she made it seamless and was very easy to talk to.I'm intrigued by their pork belly options but pork belly has a high floor AND a high ceiling so I decided to keep it simple for this first visit. I ordered the chicken bowl, a Thai iced tea, and a Batonana dessert.The chicken bowl has grilled lemongrass chicken, over rice with a little bit of salad and topped with pickled daikon and carrots. It was delicious. The rice was perfect, the salad was fresh with just a little touch of dressing. The chicken was cooked beautifully, nice and tender and well marinated. I definitely trust that they'll do a nice job with with pork belly now that I've tried that. I always wanted to try Thai iced tea but the opportunity always seems to arise at night. I've had boba teas but not a simple Thai tea with half and half like they serve here. I asked if they could make it semi-sweet and they said it's already made, but I needn't have worried. They told me it's freshly brewed, no powder. It was tasty, very earthy and not too sweet. The colour is magnificent too. The dessert was also delicious. It's essentially two egg rolls filled with banana, deep fried and covered with a coconut sesame sauce. It was kinda similar to a fried banana dessert I used to get a Chinese restaurants growing up in the UK. It wasn't messy and the sauce on top was divine, syrupy but not super sweet, really nicely balanced. I guess I didn't take in the ingredients at the time because I would've described it as a light chocolate-caramel. It's not too big and didn't make me crash afterwards. All in, a really nice experience and I can't wait to try their pork belly and maybe the noodles next time."

"This is the best salon in Fresno. My stylist is Ed Sanchez is excellent, personable and has a wonderful sense of humor. It is such a beautiful salon. I love coming here because I always feel pampered when I come here to have my hair done. They make you feel so special. I especially like my haircuts, perms and coloring. Great people working here. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. It is a little pricey but definitely worth it. I have been a loyal customer for 13 years. Great place, excellent stylists."

"No food?! All good at least the cocktails were delicious! Located on the 2nd floor of the Pacific Southwest Building, Quail State is a sleek cocktail bar that has great aesthetics, both indoor and out. It was empty when we arrived, but it was a Monday around 6pm. We sat on their outdoor patio, which holds about 30 people? No more food served here, but you can bring food in with you. The cocktail menu here is long and there's literally something for type of booze lover. I went with a light bourbon cocktail, I forgot the name, but it was surprisingly refreshing for brown liquor based drink. A great place to start the night before heading out and exploring the Tower or DT Fresno."

"I have been coming here frequently for almost a year now or maybe 2 (bad with time/memory), lol. Every time I go, it is a wonderful experience. The nail techs are friendly and do an amazing job! This time, my sister treated me for valentines Day, and although the wait was about 45 min (we were walk-ins), they were able to accommodate us and got us taken care of quickly. The owners are always so happy to see my sister and I, and it makes us feel special. Also, the facility itself is super clean and very elegant. Pricing is rather fair compared to other salons, and their materials are very good quality."

"My man and I arrived in Oakhurst starving and ready for lunch! We had been in the car for about three hours, so we wanted to eat before we checked in at our hotel. My first choice was a poke food truck, however, it wasn't where it was listed on Yelp. Assuming it was closed for Christmas vacation, we came to this cafe instead. It was highly rated, so it would be good enough for a nice meal. Since we both wanted something light, we each had a salad. I had the Apple Pecan Chicken and he opted for the Salmon. The portions were huge! My plate was piled high with grilled chicken pieces, which I thought was a little too much. Even though the chicken was cooked well, I couldn't eat it all. I enjoyed the sweetness of the apple and the crunchiness of the pecans. There was a piece of bread on the side, but I didn't get to finish that either. I didn't bother trying my man's salad, but he was pleased. We were both highly satisfied with our meals. Our server was friendly and efficient. We were ready to continue with our romantic getaway!"

"Love this place when I'm in the mood for a good fried burger and french fries and good quality fresh food."

"3/04/25 Birthday reward! Thank you! Getting lunch! Greeted upon entering and sat at the bar. Very nice, low key atmosphere. Spanish music playing. Iced tea to start. Also ordered the Chicken Concha Tostada with boiled beans & extra hot sauce. The worker was kind. Said she would place the order. Great iced tea to start. Great seasoned tortilla chips delivered too with fresh, tasty salsa too.Lunch brought a little bit later and the worker asked if I needed anything else? I said no and she said "enjoy! " Chicken Concha Tostada with boiled beans was Really Great! Fresh & tasty! Everything in it! Hot sauce was really hot. Only problem to start is I waited way too long to get a workers attention to get some more tea. My mouth was on fire! Lol! I was completely ignored too. Bummer! =/ Finally got a workers attention and was offered tea. It was brought shortly after. Took my time and enjoyed every bite! Good amount. Leftovers too! Told the worker I had birthday rewards and wanted to check out. Took quite a bit longer. Checked out and asked for a to go box with birthday wishes and then waited quite a bit longer to ask for a cup to take my tea to-go. Finally able to track a worker down and she seriously told me it's a dollar charge for a cup. What? Are you kidding me? I've never been charged for a cup. She offered the manager, I said yes and she told me they just started charging a dollar for the cup and she could give me a cup this time , but next time I need to pay the charge. Really disappointed with the service. Never been treated that way with the different looks and how I was talked to, but at least lunch was good! I honestly, don't ever want to go back now. Not right. Especially knowing I'm supposed to be there to celebrate my birthday. The food was good, but not worth how I was treated and how they made me feel! I have never been so disappointed or hurt by the way I was treated or how they made me feel. The lunch was good, but definitely not worth what I went through, At all!! Experience is the main point. Why you look forward to going and it was an awful experience that I never want to go through again. Wishing & hoping everyone else has better ones!!"

"Amazing cookies baked by amazing people! The Sweet Crumb always has delicious flavors every week. They have great customer service and are always prompt and professional!
