“Love you Irma!!! You pour a mean drink..“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Palenque Mexican Restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent.
A special thank you to Christian, who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He was friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely made the experience feel special. It’s clear that he takes pride in his work and truly cares about his guests.
Christian was definitely a highlight of our visit. I would absolutely recommend Palenque to anyone looking for great Mexican food and wonderful service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Me and my girls had a ball last night at Raquel's. We will be back very soon!“

“Very good drinks, great atmosphere!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely wonderful experience! The food was delicious and cooked perfectly, and the service was amazing from start to finish. The staff made my dad's birthday feel extra special with their warm birthday wishes and attention throughout the evening. Great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this steakhouse and will definitely be back!“

“Some of the best Mexican food is sold here and I'm not talking about your regular burritos and tacos stuff. They have almost authentic dishes. And I say almost because authentic enchiladas don't have Monterey Jack but queso fresco, but I'm being picky. Worth visiting.“

“We really enjoy coming here however, it can be a little bit slow to get service even if you're sitting at the bar. The drinks are good and the food is more of a hit than a miss. Mini rotates seasonally but as of right now and August I recommend the crab nachos.“

“Wonderful atmosphere wonderful food gotta go there!“

“I went there yesterday with my primo Cacho and his friends. I haven’t gone out in yrs with my primo Miguel & his friends and Irma the bartender was very nice and respectful and awesome bartender. First time being here and she did a great job as a bartender. I don’t know how it is at night but she made me feel at home with my family and friends respectively. Grasias“

“This little dive bar has great service, great conversations, and a low-key vibe. Megan was the bartender with a cowboy hat, so respecful and fast to service. Had great conversation with her and she made the experience of hanging out at this bar. I'm from Joshua Tree area and she made me feel right at home like I'm a local. Just hanging out in between VA appointments and had some drinks before an MRI and it was a really great experience.

Someone give Megan a raise 100% she makes the experience at this location.“

“Great food, service and awesome crowd.“

“The food is absolutely delicious. Definitely worth it.“

“Great selection of local brews and drinks. We had the Strawberry Cadillac, the Margarita flight, the seasonal sour and the maple brew and the end of the board. We also tried the carnitas nachos and the garlic Parmesan wings. Both delicious 😋😋 We sat at the bar top, but they have a big dining area and patio seating as well. For the 6 things we had it came out to a little less than $100. Great spot to go to on the outside of downtown“

“Stopped into Room 77 and accidentally walked into one of the coolest throwback vibes I’ve seen in a while. They were hosting this burlesque-style, vintage lounge show, complete with performers on aerial hoops and that old-school speakeasy atmosphere. Super unique for the area and honestly such a cool experience.

Drinks were on point too. They had some solid drink specials, good pours, and a great mix of cocktails, beer, and Happy Dad Hard Seltzers. Staff was friendly and fast even though the place was packed for the show.“

“Came here for some quick drinks with friends and it was overall a great experience. The young lady at the bar provided great customer service and recommended the wings to us which were delicious and she also made us really good drinks! Will definitely be coming back!“

“Excellent dinner experience before a show at the theater. Ordered a variety of appetizers and different meals in our party of four and everything was perfectly cooked and presented. Has to be the nicest steakhouse in the area. We will return!“

“This the perfect little dive bar. Not crowded. The times that I’ve been have not been busy. Just a small crowd. You will notice the same people if you go 3 times or more so you know it’s a neighborhood bar that has some loyal customers. Kinda every one knows each other but not every customer is a regular. They have a pool table & darts. My favorite part so far about going there is when there’s a song on the jukebox & everyone knows the words & they’re all singing. Half the time it’s a song I’ve never heard so the song isn’t necessarily a typical “bar” song. And there are some good singers in the mix! I like that when everyone starts singing they’re not bothering anybody. You can’t really do that at Boston’s! Lastly, all the girls (bartenders) are totally sweet, know their stuff, provide great service & are in good happy moods & don’t make you feel like you’re bothering them. And I also have to credit the one gentleman that works there & is there every single night. When it’s close to closing he’s there washing glasses, sweeping floors, pouring the very last drink for someone, cleaning bar top, whatever needs to be done to help the girls close down. And if you still have a few gulps in your glass, he’s not one to rush out you out. He lets you finish it. Then get out! Im sorry that I don’t know what his position is but I’m certain he’s either manager or owner. For me, being a single lady going there alone (not lonely!), I feel very at ease, comfortable & safe. Even when I leave & go to my car. There’s always 4 or 5 of us walking out at the same time.
Excuse the long review but if you can’t tell I RECOMMEND hanging out at Cherp’s. I hardly go to bar bars but this one I like !!!“

“Majestic vibes. Lots of comfort seating and large area to dance. Amazing drinks.“

“Hard working group of people here. Thanks to attack entertainment and Steve Wilson Bringing in the quality shows and talent. Great venue.“

“Live music, the band's performance was great, @Rattlers love the music. Great service.“

“came here for the first time last night because I just opened a tow yard close by and the place seemed to be poppin. was a awesome choice. pulled in and the lot had classic cars and low lows parked outside. that was the first sign that it was meant to be. ordered fish tacos and they were bomb! wife ordered flautas for the babies and they had cheese inside. apparently they were amazing also. the salsa bar.... every salsa was very good I had to have all of them. good vibes! was leaving and a guy was walking to patio with a burrito the size of a football no lie! will be a new spot for the family for sure!“

“My husband and I ate here for the first time yesterday and I have to say it was fantastic! Everything was cooked to perfection and even my Long Island was one of the best I've ever had! We definitely plan on returning soon!“

“Okay, the tacos didn't travel well, primarily due to the shells getting too wet from each others' ingredients, but the fillings were just fine. Would happily eat them on-site, next time. Where this place gets its massive props from me? The ceviche (I had the spicy version), and the amazingly great clam chowder. I mean, I know that chowder is a popular item in Baja, but now I have no reason to travel and find out why. For all I know they opened a can of clam chowder and enhanced it with their own secret blend of herbs and spices, but who cares? It was fantastic.“

“cool spot check the spot“

“This place was great - I’m kind of a chilaquiles expert and these are some of the best I have had in a long time . I wish there were more places like this serving up delicious food with a nice atmosphere for a reasonable price! Will be coming back for sure !“

Came here to celebrate the 'July birthdays' promotion that Yammava had going on, as x3 people in my immediate family have birthdays in July. On the third hour of the name drawings my mother's name was called! So that was an amazing birthday blessing for sure! 'Bar Bar Bar' being the place where they announced the name and handed out prizes,.. I had multiple drinks here. Staff were awesome! Steven the bartender was extremely professional and helpful in selecting a drink. Bar was neat and clean and well tended to. Drinks were great! Will surely return on multiple occasions!
Definitely a 5-star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Yaamava' Resort and Casino at San Manuel!
Thank you the San Manuel Entertainment Authority!
Thank you San Manuel Band of Mission Indians!
Thank you Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation!

“Ask for Noah never told us NO😎😎✅…MARGARITA ON Point…. burgers by Bryan (cook) Where great and add it to our experience great vibes inside me and my brother had a great!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Just a great place. The Mission Inn is a treasure“

“Heather the bartender is outstanding“

“Great food there but bad service because no chips and no salsa when my mom and I got there at the Zapata mexican restaurant“

“First visit today, going back for next month's lunch with a friend. Wish we'd discovered El Patron sooner.“

“if you are in the riverside area near the magnolia center and in the mood for sushi 🍣, you got to give this place a try. the food is fantastic and the drinks, wow! prices are fair, beer is cold, service is very good and lots of choices on menu. they got karaoke on Fridays atv6 and it's just a cool hole in the wall.“

“Been here before, brought students on this particular venture. Food was excellent, wait staff attentive (appreciated that we can be bilingual with them), and of course the entertainment was on point. In between the feature was a salsa quartet who played along to pistas, which are beefed-up karaoke tracks. That said, the caliber of musician was fantastic, and super-entertaining. Then we come to the star of the show and the reason for the visit: Mariachi Internacional. Forgetting for a moment they are one of the best mariachi ensembles in the Los Angeles area, their clean, powerful sound was just what we wanted to show our student as far as the balance between quality musicianship and humble humans who genuinely appreciate the audiences who patronize the restaurant. They stayed after their final show and talked to students, posed for photos, and had genuine conversations with them. Thank you PV’s for an outstanding experience!“

“Great food !! Happy Friendly people family environment restaurant“
