“Tried Mr. Claws for the first time today. Already trying to figure out when I will eat it again. Had the twosome with shrimp mussels sausage corn potato and hard boiled egg. I highly recommend you use the bib and gloves they give you. It was a little messy but delicious! Server was friendly and very informative and our actual meal was served via robot.”

“If you want DELICIOUS Korean food, RUN!!! My friend and I just went here and it was DELICIOUS!!! I had the chicken teriyaki bowl and she had the spicy ramen and a banana milk drink. The family who owns this place is so welcoming, sweet, and hospitable. You will leave happy and wanting to come back. Also love the K-pop posters and videos playing, so themed and cute! Thank you!!!”
“Great neighborhood hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant behind CVS on Vista Chino and Landau Blvd.”
Outdoor Dining
“If you are looking for great coffee and a place with actual community, look no further.Hot Lips has to be the best coffee spot in Palm Springs area/surroundings.
The place is attended by its owner Tara, who is such a chatty, ally, and kind person. The place is decorated with that Palm Springs MCM style and just has such a cute ambiance of its own.
If you are looking for making connections, enjoy great coffee and do some work. This is the place for you!
Also- there are great thrift pieces to shop around (in this shop) if you’re looking for a nice wearable souvenir of Palm Springs.”
“Drinks are great! 4 stars because of the new mandatory kiosk ordering system. It’s a royal pain in the butt to use and takes about 3 times as long as if I could just order with the person who is standing there waiting for me to get my order into the kiosk. The new owner should reconsider that kiosk. I love your drinks but I think twice about dropping in because I don’t want to have to process my own order.”
“We live in Cathedral City and Bangkok Noodles is our favorite Thai restaurant in the Coachella Valley. Always fresh and delicious, and wonderful friendly staff.😊👍 Four out of five stars..”
“Stumbled across this restaurant and what a find, firstly great friendly staff and fabulous food. Will be back”

“Had a craving for hearty Mexican food, and really enjoyed my meal here. The margarita wasn’t too sweet, with plenty of tequila. Nice enchiladas … enjoyed the chicken as it wasn’t dried out, and the beans were flavorful with the right balance of cheese. Definitely would go back again.”
“If you're looking for a beautiful change of scenary to enjoying a meal, check out the Mountain View Grill at the Desert Princess Resort. Easy parking, beautiful seating and a peaceful golf course view and not even busy for a Friday morning. The service was friendly and fast. Prices were reasonable and comparable to most medium range places, plus they have Mon thru Thurs specials. Food was fresh and tasty. I had breakfast and look forward to going back for lunch. Note, I had a pecan pancake and WOW! Also, has a full bar menu. Take a friend and enjoy!”
“Been here about a handful of times. Amazing food and amazing waitresses AS always. But this last time I had to ask our waitress were we hearing things? A child seemed to be having tantrum every 4 and a half minutes. A child. Everybody in the restaurant definitely looked irked. The 40 year old mother and her what looked like to be her 25 year old baby daddy didn't seem too care downing the bottomless mimosas. My god.”
“Service was top notch. The Tapas was phenomenal. Ordered the paella it was awesome! There were 6 of us and we got the paella for 4 and with the tapas we got it was more than enough... great wine selection, and we all split a bunuel for dessert that had V a crabs and a raspberry sauce that was out of this world.... the decor was also amazing, the vibe was casual but intimate...200% recommend”
“We recently moved to Cathedral City from New Jersey and have been making it a point to try as many local restaurants as possible. China 8 was our latest stop, and overall we had a pleasant experience.
The service was friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived. We started with the fried potstickers, which were crispy and enjoyable. The egg drop soup wasn't our favorite, as it included corn, which was a little different from what we're used to, but it was still a nice start to the meal.
For our entrées, we had the Chicken with Snow Peas and the Chicken & Broccoli in Garlic Sauce. The snow peas were fresh and crisp, and the chicken was tender. The garlic sauce dish was packed with flavor and definitely had some heat to it—more than we expected—but it was well prepared and made with fresh ingredients.
While China 8 hasn't quite replaced our longtime favorite Chinese restaurant back in New Jersey, it was a solid meal and one we enjoyed. We would definitely come back and explore more of the menu, especially now that we know to ask for milder spice levels on some dishes.
If you're looking for a dependable neighborhood Chinese restaurant with friendly service and generous portions, China 8 is worth a visit.”
“Wanted to try other places lately and this restaurant caught my eye, I did went an hour before closing but the cashier/waitress was happy to take my order and She was very welcoming, I took my food to-go. The food was piping hot and was very delicious, My only nit-pick is that I wished there was more food but other than that, It was worth the money! Will be coming back soon ❤🐺”
“Super excellent service with food to match! The pizza is always delicious and their Cole slaw is some of the best I've ever had. OH, and they have a pooch friendly patio!! Highly recommended.”
“we absolutely love love love smokey lips bbq. I get the family tray and make so many meals out of it since every single item is so friggin tasty. The desserts and cornbread are heavenly. I will admit i am so picky about what/where i eat and this bbq is my absolute favorite in the entire coachella valley and would highly recommend them. Been going back for months and will be a loyal client”

“I am new to this location and must write a glowing review for the outstanding experiences I have had. Most particularly to the morning crew with an honorable mention to Sandra. Truly all of the staff of this shift are fantastic and deserve much praise. They are all kind and caring and go above and beyond to offer value and exceptional service to their customers. The restaurant is super clean with a welcoming atmosphere. The food is fresh and delicious, authentic and like homemade. Now my #1 go to Del Taco in the valley. Highly Recommended!”
“This place has certainly UP'd their menu this year. I'm loving the entertainment but when I ordered food, t was well beyond my expectations. Best review I've ever given. All my compliments.”

“great dbl cheeseburger and fries. unlike other places they leave you alone while you're eating. unless of course they see you putting ketchup on your burger ( right cory!) been a resident of the desert for 48 years, never been to George's before yesterday. I will be back.”
“Super bomb!! My whole family loves this place. The family that owns this little spot are amazing. The food is soooo good! One of the best in Cathedral City. U can’t beat their food and their prices! The burrito n tacos are a major must try! I believe they have menudo n birria on certain days of the week also.”
“SUPPORT THIS LOCAL BUSINESS!
This place is affordable, delicious and serves huge portions. Period! Ignore the people saying otherwise in these comments...
My only feedback is the dining room gets a tad smoky on occasion due to the location of the grill.
SUPPORT THIS LOCAL BUSINESS! They went through a lot with certain ICEy activities in their parking lot. We need to rally around local business in the year 2026!”
“The food and service at Tortillas Restaurant is amazing!! I had the Chile Relleno with cheese (vegetarian options available, which was super nice!) and my husband had the Enchiladas de Mole with chicken - and both were delicious! The mole sauce is definitely of 5-star quality! It was all so fresh and authentic, with the foods being beautifully presented on the plates. I also highly recommend the horchata drinks there too!”
“LOVE THIS LITTLE LOCAL JOINT!! JUST DISCOVERED IT BUT HAVE BEEN LIVING 4 MIN NEXT TO IT FOR YEARS LOL! SO MAD IVE BEEN MISSING OUT! THE GROUND BEEF CRUNCHY TACOS, RICE BEANS AND SALSA ARE SOOOOOOO GOOOD!!!!!!

“I grew up on E pels, they would come to my middle and high schools, the firework shows, swap meets, you name it! E pel was and is a huge part of my childhood. I left the desert 10 years ago and find myself still regularly thinking about these today. I’ve never found anything that comes close to my beloved drinks, and they will be the first thing I search out when I come back for a visit. Give them a try, you don’t forget it, in my opinion they are a desert staple not to be missed.”

“We’ve ordered from here several times. This is our go to place for excellent fresh high quality authentic Mexican food. Their chicken mole is outstanding, and the chicken fajitas are delicious. The fresh chips and salsa are top notch, fresh and delicious. I appreciate a full serving with rice and beans with each entree. And fresh tortillas. The price is an excellent value at about $18-$19 for each entree. You certainly get your moneys worth. We had margaritas at the bar. They were fantastic!
We usually pick up and take the food home. The quality is consistent and has always been fresh. Thank you! I highly recommend Taqueria San Miguel!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This place has a lot of ice cream flavors and even some dairy free sorbet flavors. They serve beer and snacks both hot and cold. You can get waffle cone, you can get chocolate covered bananas here as well as some other novelty treats. The ice cream flavors were the classic ones and tasted fresh and delicious. There’s room for seating inside.”

“Julian went above and beyond during bingo (where honestly this company lacks showing support to servers at this time). He had such poise, a great smile and solution oriented! I appreciate you very much Julian you are an asset to that team.”
“Great spot, have been coming here for years. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Even when the place isn’t packed inside, they have someone coming thru the door for pick up every few minutes. The food was great and the portions left us super full. Also, try the strawberry 🍓 Nigori!”
Cheap Eats
“I really enjoyed my experience, The burger tasted incredibly fresh. The toppings were crisp and fresh, which added a great crunch and made the burger even more enjoyable.
The staff was efficient, friendly, and the customer service was on point. My order was handled quickly without feeling rushed, and everything came out as expected.
My only complaint is something pretty simple: napkins should automatically be included with every order. Having to ask for napkins is a small inconvenience, especially when you're eating a juicy burger and fries. They should be part of the basic service without customers having to request them.
Overall, great-tasting, fresh food and efficient service. Just remember the napkins!”
“Best lengua tacos. Started coming here as a kid with my family, maybe almost 30 years ago.
Handmade yellow corn tortillas, fresh baked goods and cakes every day, and my favorite tomatillo salsa ANYWHERE. Ah, memories. Pure nostalgia.
One thing to remember is that it's a Cash only establishment.
Worth it, great value and quality”
“Mira Bar serves up “Polanco “ Restaurant bites all day !
Located in the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Golf Resort Palm Springs.
We opted for some fresh lighter bites .
Surprisingly vegan friendly & easily modified menu items . I ordered the watermelon salad omit the mozzarella.
Delicious ! I’m an iced tea junkie and the tea here was refreshing .
What stood out here was the service ——- the staff was on it and we had plenty of smiles checking in on us .
Just a warning ..The place stays busy nearly 7days a week .”
“This lady that manages this location I've seen of her working for del taco years and I'm Happy & I'm proud of her for actually having her own store now to manage. I don't know if it's her own store but she's running it well and the services always great, and their service is always speedy even when short staff !! We go for the Chili Cheese fries & the Burger .. mmmmmugh !”
“Buenos Dias muchachos!!! It’s a trip outside the strip!!! The place is like you stepped in the barrio in Guatemala City. The food is Guatemalan too, very good taste and savory. Good plans to avoid tourist traps and bad food in Palm Springs. The food is prepared fresh from Guatemalan bros that know how to cook. 5 stars for the good food and good vibes like Antigua 😎
Vegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options.”
“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.”

“We ate dinner here after touring Joshua Tree National Park. Good service throughout, good ambiance, clean and well maintained facilities. We ordered the two for $25 deal. Spinach and artichoke dip to start, Citrus Lime Chicken entree and California grilled chicken salad entree. The orders were great, good portions, great quality! Really enjoyed the dinner! And wow, $25! Chester than fast food and so much better! Easy accessible location, we will return !”
“On Thursday I went very last minute to place an order of 14 happy meals. The person that greeted me was Dulce.. Even though the restaurant was busy and she was running up & down she still managed to have a smile on her face and was able to help me place my order. After I went to pick up the 14 items she was still running up & down and STILL managed to help me carry them out along with another associate by the name Xcytlaly something like that.. but these 2 employees went above & beyond making my experience incredible. These girls definitely deserve recognition for their customer service skills. The kids were happy and so was I!”
“I was not in a very good mood when I walked into this restaurant, but the lady who took my order was so pleasent and upbeat with me and all the customers that it compleatly changed my mood. Also while I waited for my coffee the manager came around the tables with a sample of a pineapple/Mango drink, delicious by the way, thank you both for changing my mood! Keep smiling 😁.

“The place turned out better than I thought. I hadn't been in an IHOP in more than 20+ years.
The regular breakfast burrito was very tasty and quite big. I took home half of it.
The service was running a bit slow, but that was understandable giving the large number of guests in our group and not the fault of the servers.”

“So convenient as I own an esthetics business upstairs. I’ll grab lunch or a refresher. I’ve had their tacos for a quick lunch but their aqua chiles and wet burrito are fire! I always stop in for the himica. Margaritas ain’t bad either =) Friendly owner and staff.”
“Found this little spot while visiting Cathedral City with the family, and we really enjoyed it! The service was great, the food had lots of flavor, and everything we ordered was delicious. We went during lunchtime, so it was pretty quiet, which made it nice and relaxing. Definitely a good find!”
“Today I ordered a coffee for myself and my mother and she tried the vanilla bean supreme and mine with a blended banana in it (my creation) they forgot the grinder coffee beans in hers and I didn't notice but the window rep did. Before handing it over she examined her drinks drink and sent it back to get fixed RIGHT AWAY. Thank you for caring so much alot the quality of your product and service. Idk her name but she had style, septum piercing and a nice smile. Rock on Chica 🤘”
“I come every Friday with my boyfriend after work for chipotle and every time sienna and jasmine are there my order is 10/10! Night crew not sooo much. Usually missing items on the menu when I come and horrible service but love coming on Fridays when the girls are there.”
“Very friendly staff, very delicious food, great sushi and udons.”
