50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Indian Wells

“Table chips and salsa are really good. My wife ordered a medium house margarita and I ordered a medium vintage margarita. The vintage is $9.00 more and we both honestly couldn't tell the difference. I will say I was shocked how big the medium margarita is! For appetizer we ordered macho nachos with beef... Yum! For our meal we shared a chimichanga burrito which was also really good. I would definitely recommend this place for great Mexican food. Staff were all very friendly as well.“

“If you're looking for a casual place for tacos & burritos The Super Taco place on highway 111 by Del Taco in Cathedral City is great! Went there for lunch today and ordered a carne asada taco with the works and a chicken hard shell taco. Both filled with tons of delicious meat and fixings. Price was less than $15. Cute place and a great patio in the back that would work well for a group of maybe 40+! I’ll be going back again!“

“This place is so good......“

“I have been to the Sedona location and the Palm Desert location is even far superior. The taste, presentation and service were all exceptional... especially given that they have only been open for three weeks. The Mole Enchilada was the best I have ever had. Decor was fresh, modern, open, airy and welcoming. Nice bar to sit at as well. I will be coming back many times. Bob K Palm Desert“

“Great food and friendly service.“

“Chips are made fresh, salsa is fresh as well... I do not care for their version of guacamole. Its more like a creamy/thick avocado sauce. Its good, just not guacamole.

The birria tacos were a home run.

The service was absolutely on point..

FYI, No real appetizer section on the menu, just main dishes...

I wish they had a hot salsa option for those that want heat.

I will be back soon.“

“lo mejor en platillos mexicanos 😋“

“Increíble comida,🥘 muy rico sazón 😋“

“It's a very nice Mexican restaurant. My waiter was great and the food came out fast. I only have one complaint. I'm from the Midwest, Kansas and our Mexican food is served with ground beef, not shredded meat unless you order fajitas. I guess it's a California thing to use shredded meat instead of ground beef. Next time I google a Mexican food restaurant, I'll check out the menu first to see if they use ground beef!!“

“First time at El Ranchito PD. Went for a quick lunch and left very satisfied. Ordered a Cali Burrito and a Al Pastor Torta. Both were delicious and the food was a good portion. For a drink I had the best horchata I've had in a while. Highly recommend, thank you for the excellent experience.“

“This is our go to place in Palm Desert!“

“An absolute hidden gem!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the most friendly service from Marilyn!!!

She made us feel right at home and taken care of the entire time.

The food was incredible! The chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful.

I ordered Baja Street Tacos and they were absolutely delicious, with the chicken being my favorite.

My partner had the shredded chicken quesadilla and couldn’t stop raving about how good it was.

The flavors here are authentic, the ingredients are fresh, and you can truly taste the love and care in every dish.

The horchata was also perfection- smooth, sweet, and refreshing.

This spot is local, authentic, and a must-visit for anyone who loves Mexican food.

We left so happy and satisfied! Definitely one of the best finds around!“

“I have gone to the restaurant and to the stand and I recommend both places. They're friendly and attentive; the restaurant is clean and the staff is welcoming. I've tried their Al Pastor tacos, carne asada and suadero and its a really good flavor. In my opinion their Al Pastor is very authentic; it reminds me of my childhood in Mexico.“

“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.“

“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!“

“muy deliciosa comida y un ambiente agradable !!!!!!“

“Good chimichanga.

I had the Chimichanga, with shredded beef. The beef was tasty. I didn't pay.attention when ordering, that it came with a sauce on top. The reason I like chimichanga is for the crunchy/crispy shell. The sauce was good, just changed the way I expected a chimichanga to taste (textually). Don't get me wrong, it was good, but next time I'll get it without the sauce on top and make it great.

The staff was friendly and fast. We got seated right away, ordered taken shortly after being seated, and food arrived not too long after that.

Tha ambiance of this place it nice, typical stip-mall building, basic Mexican restaurant seating and tables.“

“Great food & fun atmosphere! Staff is friendly & they make the very best Margaritas!“

“I don’t have enough wonderful words to describe our amazing experience at Flor de Jalisco!! The food is cooked to perfection, the flavors are off the chart, and the service is outstanding!! �����“
