    I mean, it's the best Taco in Fresno. Hands down. Been searching Fresno for the best tacos for years, and can't find one that Tops LA Elegante. Simple. The staff is the best. They are kind, attentive and simply throw it down. You gotta be real Fresno just to find the place, but the best tacos in California are in Fresno.

    Fresno's shining star for Mexican food. Ordered the Carne Asada taco plate and 2 more tacos for the wife. First off, the portions are very large. The tacos come with an insane amount of meat and are very filling. Now to the flavor. STRAIGHT FIRE. The taste of the food here is too good to be true. Some unique features of the tacos are that they have guacamole salsa as well as the red salsa. The side of rice was exactly what I am looking for. Dine in and enjoy the friendly service or take out. You've gotta try this place!

    Super tasty 😋 Mexican food! They have consistent quality Mexican food. I come all the way from Sanger because this place is the best. I wish they had longer hours 😪. You have to catch the Tuesday-Saturday between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. They always nail it!

    Some of the most amazing, authentic Mexican Food you can have In Fresno, CA, Hours are short, if they were open an hour longer they would have that much more Buisness! Get there before lunch , before the locals do! Service is very fast so don't expect to wait forever if the small place is crowded! Delicious food! Well worth trying if traveling by or visiting!

    If you're looking for a really good taco place with authentic Mexican flavor and great service then this is the place. Now the trick is getting here early, because it gets packed but believe me when I say this if you find a booth to sit down and order your food will get to your table fast and oh man its worth the wait. Best tacos in town by far

    Honestly, the best tacos especially if you get the adobada. The Chile is flavorful and not too spicy and the tortillas are slightly fried and thick and authentic tasting

    Best food in Fresno. Don't judge by the looks of the place, try the food then you'll know why this place is highly recommended here in town. 🤌🏼

    Best hole in the wall tacos in Fresno! No parking and standing room only because of the big crowds. Call your order in and pickup for lunch, everything is delicious, you will not be disappointed.

    La Elegante Mexican Restaurant is a family-owned and operated restaurant in Fresno, California. It was founded in 1984 by Celia and Benito Arenas, who moved to Fresno from Los Angeles with their five children. The family started out with a food truck, which quickly became popular for its authentic Mexican food. In 1993, the Arenas family opened their first brick-and-mortar restaurant in the heart of Fresno's Chinatown. The restaurant is now run by the Arenas children, who continue to uphold their parents' commitment to using fresh, local ingredients and serving high-quality Mexican food. La Elegante is known for its wide variety of tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. I recently had the opportunity to visit La Elegante and try their al pastor tacos. The tacos were made with fresh, juicy al pastor and served with onions, and cilantro on warm corn tortillas. The tacos were absolutely delicious! Overall, I was very impressed with La Elegante Mexican Restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend La Elegante to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Mexican food in Fresno. Follow me on IG @hungry_dude_usa

    I loved the food it is still as good as it was 20 yrs ago. They are consistent. And they are all awesome. Best Mexican food in fresno, clovis. It's really good. It is always the little small, humbled places that are the best.

    Ordered menudo and tacos for my husband and I and I don't know how they messed up the order they brought one bowl of menudo out with the fixings and some corn tortillas that were fried like for tacos and and empty bowl and 1 taco like we're going to split the bowl🤣and 1 taco. The girl asked my husband if he's just gonna eat a taco. We're like no we ordered 2 bowls of menudo and 2 tacos and drinks. I found a blond hair in my menudo. Yes there was a girl with highlights in her hair.and a big in my ice. I requested more ice for my drink so it was a bug frozen in my ice . Threw the drink away and that other nonsense didn't bother the husband🤣. They were very nice though.

    The tacos there are really good, the meat is cooked really well well add the portion sizes are fairly large for a taco. I give them a solid 8 out of 10 which is which is really good here in Fresno.. The price is a little up there as far as $3 per taco, but it's well worth it. I killed 5 asada tai saw that tacos and I'm still full from yesterday.

    Favorite tacos, it’s hard to get them sometimes because of business hours but they’re worth the drive downtown.

  • 5/5 Sabina K. L. 1 year ago on Google
    You won’t find better tacos in Fresno than you will at La Elegante. There’s a reason it’s often so busy. I wish they were open more often because the food is just so good.

  • 5/5 Omar 1 year ago on Google
    Best tacos you'll find in Fresno, no doubt.

  • 1/5 Gladys M. 1 year ago on Google
    Tacos are delicious, but they are inconsistent with the hours and schedules. Many times we went to the restaurant, and they're closed, despite internet says they're open.

  • 5/5 Jeremy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down the best tacos I've had in my entire life. Absolutely fantastic Mexican food.

  • 5/5 Alex S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of those hidden gems. The food is perfect, it's made with heart you don't find at any chain restaurants. The service is just like being at Grandma's house warm and friendly. A place you would like to take your family. They make everything right Infront of you. For being in a bad side of town they hold there own and are quickly becoming popular with the locals. The one and only draw back to this place is they are only open until 2:30p.m. each day. Hopefully with a little more business they can expand their hours. It is most definitely a place to check out.
