“The wife and I traveled from Riverside to DHS to buy a vintage table and came upon this jewel when we headed back home. We found wonderful authentic food and warm and friendly service. Reasonable prices and a relaxed place to eat. If we are ever back in the area we will defiantly stop by. Give them a try small but nice.Wheelchair accessibility: Well cared for special attention“
“What a nice place to get lunch and tasty Mexican food. The service could be friendlier, but I like the set up and how clean everything is. The staff kinda acts like you are bothering them when you ask for anything. But overall I will be back cause I liked my food.“
“This was probably the best meal we had on our visit to Desert Hot Springs. In general we were disappointed in my choice to stay in this area. This restaurant was a bright spot. Clean store, friendly staff, great drinks, and delicious food. If YOU ever make the decision to go to Desert Hot Springs and wonder why once you get there, stop by here, and it will make you feel better.“
“Not bad El Matador. Service was fast and professional. I was greeted with a smile . Establishment seemed pretty clean. The food was ok for the desert, $15 for a Lengua burrito is kind of pricey though. All in all great experience with ok food.“
“I'm perplexed at the poor recent reviews of this place. It looks like they're mostly from Canadians and people from the hellish north where Mexican food comes from cans with an authentic looking Mexican lady on the label. I noticed that most of the guests here looked local and that's a good thing. It keeps the butthead northerners out. I'm a Canadian now but grew up in the southwest where everyone made their own tortillas from scratch so I know good Mexican food. This was good Mexican food. Service: cold at first but warmed up a lot when she figured out we weren't her average idiot snowbirds. She was very attentive and very fast with the margarita refills. Wonderful server all around that probably has to deal with too many aholes from the barren north. Food: the salsas were excellent and obviously made in house. They were hot without being too obtrusive. Tamales were very good and filled heavily with meat. Chile rellanos were cheesy and delightful but the chicken enchilada really made the day. The chicken was tender and fresh without any dryness. Margaritas: damn...great quality and lots of tequila without too much sweetness. I crawled out the door after three of 'em. Prices: margs were 4.50 each for happy hour, Tuesday and thursday. We lucked out and came on Thursday so yippee!!! I had three and my wife two. A great time was had by all. Food prices were a little high for the area but it came out fast and the servings were large. Summary: Good service if you're not a butthead, good food, great margaritas, and decent prices. What else can you ask for?“
“So good!! My husband grew up in a palm Springs and we have been enjoying date shakes for 40 years together and have tried them all. The date shakes here are the real deal. They are the only one that uses real dates and ice cream. Not date flakes or ice milk. The pastrami sandwich is so good also and enjoy the peaceful patio. If you see the bus there come back later. It’s a small family store and can get busy“
“Best Mexican food I have ever had. I got the birria tacos, out of this world good. We were in town for one night after a race, asked the lady at the hotel front desk where to eat and she said this place. They had a live band playing the night we were there, don’t know if this is a weekly thing or not but they were great! We live in Oregon but often think about flying to Palm Springs just to eat here again. I will make it back to try their tamales, they were out the night we went. Highly recommend“
