Our story

About Us

From a single street cart under the Highway 180 overpass to a viral Central Valley sensation, our passion has always been simple: authentic Mexican flavors, massive portions, and keeping family at the heart of everything we do.

Serving Fresno since 2015

How It All Started

Our journey began with Juan Espinoza working late into the night, selling tacos from a small street cart to support his family. Facing licensing hurdles but armed with determination and family savings, we opened our first permanent walk-up window on North Fresno Street.

Business was tough at first, but everything changed in 2016 when Edwin Espinoza introduced the Anaconda Burrito. A video of the three-foot masterpiece went massively viral — racking up over 36 million views and putting Taquería Yarelis on the national map. Today we've expanded to multiple locations across Fresno, but our commitment to quality and community remains exactly the same.
