Best Mexican food I had in Fresno! The service was fast and the restaurant was clean. I highly suggest getting the steak and eggs if you’re eating breakfast! Big portions and prices are affordable

Great food!!! It was our 1st time at Lily’s and the whole experience is worth going back 🥰 only thing I would’ve changed was to ask for my potatoes to be cooked a little longer but other than that it was all 💯 We will be back!!!

✅ Rating: 4.92 / 5 🍽️ Food: The food here is amazing! I had the chicken quesadilla half order (don’t let the name confuse you, it is a full portion meal) and it was delicious! I really do believe this place has the best quesadillas in town! The chicken was very tender with flavor and the cheese portion was just right. 👨‍🍳 Service: The service was great. Very friendly and attentive with the customers. It felt like I was eating at a family member’s home. Very welcoming as well! 🏠 Location: Great vibes inside the restaurant! Colorful atmosphere. ⭐️ Final Verdict: If you’re in the downtown area, this is the place to check out! It won’t disappoint and the food/service was amazing!

Been here a handful of times now. On my most recent trip I ordered the half-order shredded beef quesadilla. It was delicious! Would order again, maybe even the full order!

Quaint Cafe with a nice menu selection. I had the breakfast burrito for brunch, but the chilaquilas looked really good also. Perhaps next time. The burrito was good and I would order it again in the future. The pico salsa was fresh and delicious, tho it was a bit mild for my preference. The chips were freshly made with a nice sprinkle of seasoning. I will return for another meal and I would recommend Lilys Cafe to friends and family.

I was warned not to try this place but I was hungry and I should have listened. I ordered the asada taco plate and what I got was a miserable attempt at tacos I've ever seen. The tacos are wrapped in this paper and immediately falls apart. They are soggy as hell and instead of a tortilla, its a wannabe taco shell. Instead of asada, it had unseasoned ground beef with bell peppers. Either the cook was upset that day or they literally dont know what an asada taco looks and tastes like. I am better off at taco bell. This place is a wannabe Mexican restaurant.

Ordered a bacon Breakfast burrito. Didn't have hardly any bacon in it and the potatoes werent done. Not that great at all. Really bummed me out seeings how they charge about twice as much as anywhere else and to have it be not even done was very disappointing. And then upon further inspection I'm not finding but a couple tiny specks of bacon.
