Vejar's Mexican Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge - Mexican restaurant in Tulare - 1293 S K St, USA

Vejar's Mexican Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge December 13, 2023 It had been awhile since me & my daughter had came here so we came for a late lunch & we both had gotten their "Combos & Other Delicacies" on the menu. So I got the #13 Two Shredded Beef Flour Tacos & rice & beans plus my drink & my daughter she had got the #21 3-items Combo, Cheese Enchilada & a Chile Renlleno & a Taco (Carnitas) & rice & beans plus her drink also. The chips & the red salsa was delicious! Not hot at all & had a very good flavor. So Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner it's all good & remember they have a 🍻 "BAR" 🍹 & It's 5 O'clock somewhere! 🎉 Thank You & ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s 😎👍

My favorite place in Tulare. This place has authentic Mexican food. My favorite dish is the New Mexico Style Enchiladas with over-easy eggs right on top. That's the way they come but I'm sure if you ask them to place them on this side. The Bloody Mary has no words.......They are Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really highly disappointed about this location. I really expected a much better experience, with the high reviews local TV newscasters had ranted and raved of this place. Our 1st time in this place and it looked like it was going to be a pleasant experience, for starters getting into the building was unusual since parking was mainly in the rear of building. Rear entry doors were not marked or was there any indication that entry was in other location of building. Once in had to asked employee where do you check in, once we found counter area that was unmanned had to wait and a server asked us if we were there to dine (silly question). Next they seated us in a corner (facing corner) looking at repaired window wall and glass window of some sort. When I asked if we could be moved to another location in place of this very usual seating place we were told no when there was obviously other seating available. Next we were finally attended served chips and chile sauce not even a salsa. Ordering menus spoke highly of the authentic homemade dishes that were far from being authenticly homemade. I had the famous chile Colorado and had to ask for a side salad, my wife had the famous fried tilapia both of us ask for flour tortillas. Long wait ensued that I even had asked for more chips and salsa that never came, mean while salad was served, sadly salad was served with brown lettuce mix with fresh lettuce. Once we received our meals my chile Colorado looked like it was thrown together using more of a stewd tomato sauce than a red pepper sauce chile, pork used was definitely over cooked and more like jerky. My wife's dish tilapia was definitely under cooked. Beans and rice looked like they were made days ago and flour tortillas were definitely not authenticly homemade. In fact they seems to be days old as well. I know that I wrote a lot and I never in my 65 years have had a terrible experience as I encountered at this place. Sadly I have to be honest about my disappointments and I definitely will never walk in or recommend this eatery to any of my friends and family or colleagues. Jp Val

Grew up going to Vejars but moved out of the area. Was visiting earlier this month and took the chance to go again. The food is great - bean and cheese burritos with cheese on top have been my go-to since childhood so I had to have one, but I also had a tostada, which was good too. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. Also, I am so excited that they bottle their special sauce now - enjoying the two bottles I have from 3,000 miles away.

If you aren't taking to go orders please have the decency to say so. Do not put someone on hold and hang up. This happened twice, the first time I thought the call dropped so I called back. The third time I called I realized they took the phone off the hook because it kept ringing. I am over Vejars. Every time I go I have terrible service, but this is the last straw. They can't even respect their customers enough to communicate.

Had the Chorizo Stuffed Shrimp Wrapped in Bacon with the Diablo Sauce!! Yum! Lots of flavor and will be back if ever in town!

Great food. Great service. We live about 201 miles away but every time we travel on Highway 99, we make it a point to stop here. It never disappoints. We love Vejar’s.

From the start the chips and salsa looked a bit off but I gave it a shot. The chips were warm I’ll give them that but they were stale it hurt my teeth biting into them. The salsa wasn’t hot at first but afterwards you taste a little kick so it wasn’t too bad. The restrooms were an inconvenience to me they are one stall and it’s a hit or miss. You go check to see if it’s occupied leave come back check again otherwise you’re there waiting. I was a bit worried about the food at first because of my experience with the chips and salsa. Wow was that worry blown away when I tasted that menudo. Menudo and pozole are both very complex dishes to make because of the juice and the way the meat is made which is why I usually drift away from ordering either at any restaurant as much as I can unless I’m in the mood for it. Was not disappointed by it in the slightest, I highly recommend getting your menudo here. The shrimp cocktail was also made perfectly. Shrimp not frozen and the amount of shrimp is great. The waitress left me and a man had to step in that was a bit weird to me but that is the least of my concern. They have tough stressful jobs and you are bound to run into things like that in busy restaurants. Drinks are served with crunchy ice !!! I’m an ice chewer so this made me happy Overall great time here 😁😁❤️ (Prices are great) ——my menudo was a small size and the portion was a full bowl for $10 ——
