“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“

“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!“

“Great neighborhood hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant behind CVS on Vista Chino and Landau Blvd.“

“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.“

“Great food and friendly service.“

“The food was really good. I personally don't like spice, and the hot sauce with the chips had a good flavor. The spice is just me being a wuzzy!!! Very clean and neat throughout the restaurant. The Carne asada tacos were very flavorful and filling.“

“Small friendly place. Lots of great dishes beyond the standard Mexicali or Texmex fair.

Tried the daily special, mole enchiladas. Smelled just like a chocolate churro. Great.

Salsa had good flavor but could be a little spicier.“

“Amazing food. Great salsas!!! The staff is awesome and very friendly and attentive!!! Highly recommended if you’re ever in La Quinta“

“Mr Gonzales - we thank you for the great service and amazing authentic food!

Senior Gonzalez and the family was very friendly and welcoming and quickly made room for all 19 of us. The entire staff team was friendly with us and made sure we had everything we needed! Also it was clear his customers were repeat and he gave each attention.

We were a larger party, total of 19 of us including children, which meant Mr Gonzales had to act quickly to accommodate seating but made it work in great time!

The food?……there was nothing left!!! From the chips and salsa, guacamole, carne asada tacos, Al pastor tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, tortas, enchiladas….all very delicious and even the pickiest eaters ate everything!

The few people in our group said they were glad we decided to stay!!!!

We’ll be back!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!“

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

“Perfect joint to grab some drinks and great Mexican cuisine. They have a full bar and a nice big menu of food. We got the Chilaquilas Con Carne Asada with eggs over medium and red and green salsa. It had the perfect spice and was an extremely big portion. The carne was tender and not chewy. The eggs were also perfectly done. We also tried a veggie omlete that was also cooked to perfection. Fluffy egg, not dry and tasty fresh veggies with fresh slices of avocado. Served with rice and beans that are fresh and delicious. My buddy ordered two Michelada's with Modelo and loved them!! Our waitress was also SUPER friendly and took care of us. Will be back again soon.????

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie omlete.“

“Always enjoy everything about Guillermo's. The food, ambience and visiting with Guillermo himself. As regulars there, we truly appreciate the warm welcome when we arrive. Highly recommended Guillermo's as one of the best restaurants in the valley.“

“Great service! Very friendly staff and the food is really good! Prices are very reasonable as well! Highly recommend trying this cafe!“

“We are so glad that we found this restaurant. A real gem.
Friendly service, simple and clean atmosphere, and Delicious food!
We had Mahi tacos and the beef burrito with excellent chips and salsas (red & green).
I highly recommend this family restaurant instead of a chain restaurant. We will come again.“

“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!!“

“Great atmosphere, wonderful service & fantastic food!“

“Wonderful staff the food was fresh and taste great!! Recommending to everyone such a nice change 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Great new family owned business in the desert. I ordered the Mole Ranchero, a robust flavor of spicy pork not sweet at all. My wife had the shrimp with the zarandeada sauce, and loved it! Very flavorful and just spicy enough. Can’t wait to come and try their breakfast!!“

“Amazing food. Great salsas!!! The staff is awesome and very friendly and attentive!!! Highly recommended if you’re ever in La Quinta“

They have outdoor seating and any restaurant around this long means they are very good!!“

“I want to start with saying, thank you to Marissa and the Staff for their hospitality to start off, I had the rice and beans with fajitas and a side Beautiful green salad. I think the highlight was the salad. Everything was chopped up. I love my lettuce, chopped that fine. The tomatoes were chopped up the cucumbers, absolutely beautiful, everything was superb. I’m not exaggerating. I’m telling you what I experienced. And I will definitely be coming back to Victoria’s, thanks again Marissa

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!“

“Stumbled across this restaurant and what a find, firstly great friendly staff and fabulous food. Will be back“

“Very good, they only need a variety of Dulce de tamarind for the mangoneadas like Chaka Chaka pulparindo chamoy but I was impressed with the coconut one. Very good!!….second time today, very delicious. The owners are very good people, thank you“

“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.“

“my parents would take us there as a kid chips in paper bag and to this day still go there great service and awesome munchies“

“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.“

“Great food and a staple in our little artists/makers community. Junior is an amazing human, and this place is not to be missed. 10/10.“

“Best Mexican food in the desert the fajitas trio or any of the combination plates. Best margaritas on this side of the border.“

“We finally made it to this restaurant for dinner. We sat on the patio and watched a beautiful sunset as we dined. We found the menu had some great selections, but we stuck with some ala carte choices as a way to sample several items. The sopa with beef, the beef taco, and tostada were excellent. The enchiladas and tamale were just average, I'd say. The salsa and chips were a winner ( not too spicy with the salsa). Great pricing and service were additional reasons to come back for more.“

“Margaritas are the best. Great selection of food.“

“The best food ever for Mexican food“

“La comida deliciosa ❤️ mi restaurante favorito de comida Mexicana“
