Left of Center Visalia

Top notch food and service ! What a hidden gem this place is, while the seating looks limited, there is plenty ! You can reserve a table through Google which is pretty cool, we will be coming back!!

CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!
EDIT: We’ve been back 👍🏻 & still love Left of Center. Added more photos, sweet potato fries are delicious 🤤 the breeding is perfect

Fresh American twist on Mexico food. Everything tasted FRESH, the focus of the food is on the ingredients.
NOT greasy at all! That's rare when eating Mexican food.
My mom & I went on a recommendation, it's kind of a "secret spot."

Appetizers (including nachos, sliders & empanadas), salads, tacos, burgers, pasta, main entrees (ex: steak, salmon), alcoholic drinks & dessert.
Interesting menu, our waiter described the food as Italian/Mexican!

The lack of windows in our seating area was strange.

I loved the roasted green peppers & cumin lime crema, spicy & tangy. Empanadas were STUFFED & juicy chicken. The pastry dough tasted like a cross between home made flour tortillas & pie dough. Meat in the sliders had a "smokey flavor" & chunks of spicy green peppers.
Since we're used to eating at Pismo's in Fresno, my mom asked me if the bruschetta topped salmon was good? Yes! It's just a DIFFERENT STYLE solely "focused on the flavor of the meat." Tender and moist with a rich salmon flavor.

*Location's across the street from the downtown Smart & Final, SE corner of Johnson & Center. 1 block north of downtown.
The parking was a bit tricky, just parallel park on the street.
***If your car's low to the ground, stick to parking on the street.

Everything was really good! Definitely will be coming back!

Really cute place with great service and superb food. The Cuban sandwich, tacos, portabella mushroom sandwich, sweet potato fries, fries, and sauces were delicious. Can't wait to go back!

Dude. Whoa. Oh my goodness. Mind blown. Flavor, service, flavor more service, more flavor and more service...do not hesitate to try this place out, we are so glad we did. Thank you to the new guy server, the veteran who trained him, the dude cooking and the genius behind it all chef/manager/owner. Bravo.

We're welcomed as we walked in. Seating is limited. I personally loved the table we were at. Quiet and cozy. Our waiter was great. Will definitely go back again.

Wow! Unbelievable flavor! Stopped by this place while spending a night in Visalia before heading to Sequoia NP in the morning. I could not believe how good my food was.
I got a green salad to start. It’s a side salad, but huge for a side salad, and It was a great salad. I ordered the Avocado Chicken entree for dinner and it was just out of this world. It was topped with a garlic cream sauce that was both Light and delicious. It also had half of an avocado sliced on top - and bruschetta on top of that! And it came with grilled asparagus which was also fantastic. All of it was so full of flavor and so fresh. I will stop here every time I come by it

Friendly servers, clean environment, good well rounded menu with snacks, salads, western and interesting dishes, and a nice venue, kind of mix of a restaurant and a cool banquet room. Nice job everyone! I havs no complaints. 5 stars!

Have been there 2x now. It is my favorite place in Visalia. Customer service is excellent. Food is AMAZING!

Go during happy hour to get the appetizers at a better price.

Absolutely love this place. Their Bartender Heather is the best and friendliest staff member. Food is always delicious. I've not been disappointed with anything I've had so far. Drinks are good too. Desert is awesome, mini cheesecake! Give it a try.

First time being there and at first glance, walking in seeing the front area where the bar area is located has a cool vibe to it along with decoratives telling a story. I join the party i was with, and the atmosphere calming, the music was amazing great and the table sat out party comfortably to where we were able to converse with each other. The server is amazing and took our order in a timely fashion, she made sure and check on our party in a timely manner, she has an amazing personality and is a beautiful person, on top of the service. The food was as expected, on time, freshly made, correctly taken and given to the right individual, drinks were always full, what more of a service and quality one can ask for, simply a wonderful beautiful experience, I will share this place as a must go too to everyone I know. Thank you..

It was wonderful the ambassador luncheon. The chicken was so soft and the taste was just perfect. Great place to have a lunch and conduct business meeting. Be aware that the parking is limited around that area.

Some of the best tasting Mexican food I have tasted. Home made hot sauce is delicious.
Great food that needs nothing added for superior flavor.

We went in here for the first time today. It was really great food and service, definitely recommend.

I've been dying to go here for quite sometime now ever since they opened many years ago. Finally got the chance to try it out. The place is small, but with great food, drinks and service you don't need anything too big.

Had the sliders, nachos and the flat bread and everything was full of flavor and juicy where it needed to be. Drinks I went with one of their Serrano Spicy Margaritas. Everything I ordered was on their happy hour menu. So got some good deals for some great food.

Definitely will be back here again

Very juicy burgers. I'd recommend their jalapeno burger if you like a burger with a little kick to it. Onion straws were also good, very crispy!

The best Lunch Spot downtown!! The food is so good. The burritos are great but the torta are amazing!! They bring the freshest and best food for reasonable price!!

Most amazing food!!!! I can't wait to go back there.

Great food in this quaint spot. The salsa and gauc is a must have!
