Libelula

Although this place is a run down and not in the best part of Fresno, I highly recommend the food. As the other reviews said, this is definitely a hole in the wall place. The food was really good and full of flavor. Every item that each of my party ordered was not disappointing at all.The inside decor is a little quirky and unique, a lot of random retro looking designs and items on the wall and the tables. Service was great for my large party of 7 and they kept checking in on us throughout the time. Would recommend checking this place out.

Excellent little breakfast establishment that lives up to the hype on reddit. I always go for breakfast no matter what and a wedding trip to Fresno was no exception. Needless to say, I'm glad reddit recommended this place for its unique dishes and great take on classics like biscuit and gravy. I highly recommend this establishment as well. Biscuit and Gravy 4 of 5 Great take on a classic, but was missing the black pepper. Get the sausage with it. Kimchi Fried Egg 4 of 5It's missing the kimchi flavor, but still has a great taste. Make sure to eat it first or the wonton gets a little soggy towards the bottom. Very creative and worth a try. I would say it's a 4 out of five because the flavors could be a bit better and the bathroom was kinda a mess when we went. However, service and pricing was great and fast.

This is the second time I've been to Libelula, but the first was when they first opened. I went today with two work friends -- it's a nice place to get some fresh and interesting food downtown.When we went today at 11:39 it was lively but not overcrowded. Service was very friendly and thoughtful -- asking if we wanted ice, straws, extra dipping sauce for our tots etc.It's a casual cute place. We'd been in the office all morning so we chose to sit outside although it got a little hot because all tables were in the direct sun. A few umbrellas would be welcome.I chose the summer tomato grilled cheese. It had great flavor but here's what I wish I knew about it ahead of time -- I wish I knew it came open face and very soggy. I knew the ingredients of course, but I was honestly expecting smaller amounts of tomato, spinach and mushroom and for this to be a true grilled cheese that would hold together ("as a grilled cheese does") and would be simply picked up and eaten. This messy soggy sandwich (which required a knife and fork to navigate) had great flavor -- I want to emphasize it was very delicious and balanced and all the ingredients were fresh and high quality, so bravo to the person who invented the mix of ingredients -- but I wanted some form of a "true" grilled cheese. A sandwich that that holds together, and which you pick up and eat easily and without sloppiness (!) for a casual lunch with work friends: but instead it was a soggy mess and very difficult to eat, especially in front of coworkers while trying to converse. I really wish I'd ordered something else -- not because it didn't taste good -- it did taste good -- but because it wasn't what I was in the mood for: everyone knows what a grilled cheese sandwich is, and this soggy difficult-to-eat (even if very tasty) mess wasn't that.The tots were good and crispy and the homemade ketchup was as I remembered: I'd like a touch more salt but that's such an individual preference. I need more salt like I need a few additional points added to my blood pressure.I'll be back but I might be one of those annoying customers who asks questions of the waiter:"So is this a _true_ grilled cheese, the kind that you can pick up and eat?" "Ma'am it clearly says grilled cheese on the menu. What do you want me to say? Is this a trick?""Yes noted - it says grilled cheese, but you see I have certain 'expectations' of a sandwich billed as a grilled cheese! Let me tell you all about it..."On second thought maybe next time I'll just order a salad.

When people say hole in the wall, I'm only gonna think about this place. The outside, well you won't think that, but once you're inside, your entire perspective changes.From my boyfriend's words: it looks like a comic book, or like the inside of weird kids bedroomThe paintings are wacky, cool, and just quirky. If you're an indie hippie weirdo alternative kind of person, this is your spot. If you want to pretend like you are, this is your spot. ‍ The food was absolutely delicious. It came pretty quickly, since they weren't that busy on a Friday morning. Boyfriend said that his grilled chicken was the juicy he's ever had, and he kept moaning as he took bites. However, the noodles were the highlight of the dish, as they were packed his flavor, and the mushrooms were juicy, too. We didn't even finish our food, so we could eat it later. Bathroom is outside lol make sure you lock it. I couldn't figure it out, so I just left it unlocked. Anyways, epic spot. If you're staying in Fresno for a little bit, watch out for the nightcrawlers.

Good place for a bite!Located in downtown Fresno, you'll find this little gem. Be wary, there is only street parking, so if it's busy, it might be difficult to find a spot close by! The inside is nicely decorated and has a cool vibe. Service is fairly fast and the servers are nice. I love that this place uses local and fresh ingredients! They have so many options when it comes to their food, it's so hard to pick! I've been here on multiple occasions and have enjoyed my food. 〰 Curried Fried Chicken Tacos (5/5): These are scrumptious. The chicken was fried well and the curry sauce is DELISH. I got these to-go and they still held up and tasted great. 〰 Forbidden Breakfast Fried Rice (3/5): This was just ok IMO! I thought it was a tad too salty for my liking but the presentation was cool.〰 Side of tater tots (5/5): I meaaaaan you can't go wrong with tots. They crisp them up so well and they're so fun to eat. Bonus points for their house made ketchup. Their ketchup is so yummy!I love that they use such fresh ingredients! This is a good place for a bite to eat if you're in the area.

Food and service was exceptional! We've been wanting to give this place a try but our timing has always been off. Today rainy day was a plus for us! We will definitely be back!

I ordered the eggs Benedict. It was so delicious and savory. The atmosphere is fun. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing menu, even if tater tots appear to be the anchoring item, flavors are unique, excellent presentation and location was super convenient off the freeway!I loved the eclectic vibe and decor with high ceilings since it seems like it's a reclaimed portion of old theater. We tried Thai Mac, the slider collection, maple chicken

Fast service, great food! Luv the tator Tots with Homemade Catsup And check out the bakery next door!

Delicious, fast, and sweet customer service. I will def be back. The whole menu sounds great
