Yosemite Falls Café
Yosemite Falls Café
was started in December 2005. Manuel “Manny” Perales had a vision and set out to see that vision fulfilled. He created the concept and menu and offered several investors the opportunity to help fulfill his dream. All the men had plenty of restaurant experience and felt that this new concept would be successful-and here we are 5 years later with three locations in town and one more on it’s way! Yosemite Fall’s success is seen in their mantra—stick to the basics: hire friendly employees, good managers, and serve quality food for a good value.

Come join Yosemite Fall’s Café as they prepare a delicious meal for you. You will begin the evening learning how to make their wonderful Beer Batter Tempura Zucchini. Next, your taste buds will sizzle devouring the Carne Asada Penne Pasta. You will finish the evening tasting their ‘Oh-so-delicious-you’ll swear-it’s-homemade Banana Bread Pudding. If you haven’t eaten at Yosemite Fall’s—you’re missing out. Three locations to serve you: 4278 W. Ashlan (559)275-6060, 1455 Shaw Ave in Clovis (559)324-8456, and the newest location 5123 N Blackstone (559)225-6800.
