Restaurants in La Quinta

“not a huge fan of kiosk ordering, i believe in customer service which other than saying a name and handing over a box, was nonexistent. but the cookies are bomb.”

“Best breakfast ever!!!!!! They took care of my gluten free needs. I couldn’t have toast but I got to taste the homemade jam. It was delicious.

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and the build your own omelette was amazing along with the country potatoes. They gave me sliced tomatoes instead of toast.”

“Staff is so helpful and fun to be with, the cocktails are wonderful and wine is lovely, and the food choices are incredible!”

“My next door neighbor, who is a full time caregiver, had a birthday in April but I am just now waking up from my sugar haze after having some of the world's best chocolate cupcakes to write a note on behalf of Tiffany's. My husband receives his after-stroke physical therapy at the Eisenhower clinic in the same shopping center and so we drive in from the Washington Street side and pass Tiffany's twice a week. No one knows how we could have missed our first visit for so long!! *****Big word of advice: Parking is easier if you go across the lot and walk up because there is constant traffic passing behind you if you pull in out front. Lots of cars can be difficult to see as there are many other businesses and I had to move stealthily and try to see around delivery trucks blocking my view. There are spaces across the lot, always. People who know me are aware 1) I don't wait in long lines for food and 2) Parking must be survivable. For my friend's birthday I wanted to surprise her with some great items she would not have time to buy for herself. I was thrilled to step into one of the sweetest, cleanest and most attractive bake shops ever. The young man at the counter was so great and helped with my questions. Did I only buy a cupcake for my friend, you ask? No, I made sure to buy extra items to bring home and do "quality control" if you know what I mean. Haven't you ever bought a big bag of treats before, taking only a portion out for the recipient? Have you not placed the most beautiful cupcakes into the fridge and looked forward to having fun later on? But not too long in the future? You have to visit and check out this assortment. Cupcakes are frosted while you're there. Only fresh ingredients we all want to see are used for these sweets, too. There were choices galore- And Happy Birthday cookies!! Of course I got one! I gave it with the cupcake. (I'm not a monster.) This beautiful hidden gem creates gluten-free, keto, and vegan sweets. You will swoon at the flavors on the labels here. I have no idea how I left the shop without two big bags but I carefully got my one big bag home instead of dipping my hand in while driving. I cannot drive by now without whispering "Best cupcake ever" and bowing my head, smiling.”

“Awesome ice cream very light ice cream with the air taken out of it”

“great eats and great service”

“One of the best banh mi sandwiches I've ever had, coffee was superb, and danish was so delicious. Excellent food and service, really nice and friendly owner. 10/10 all around 👏”

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

“I’ve been here twice now. Good service and great food. I stay at the Homewood down the road. I can walk here and it’s much better than the Applebees in the parking lot.”

“Great! Wonderful atmosphere, food AMAZING! Greta service…the nicest restaurant that is also kid friendly ever been to! Can have your NICE dinner out and kids will find food to eat …great in every way!”

“I usually go to the Palm Desert location, which I love, but decided to try the La Quinta location. It was awesome and the atmosphere was a little more cozy. I love their Napa Valley pizza and the green beans for an appy are always a good choice.

We have to give credit to Rick (who works there) that we unexpectedly met at a local grocery store the night before, who encouraged us to try the La Quinta location! ?”

“This place was absolutely great. Steve our server was super friendly and the food was spot on. Will definitely come back again.”

“Took our neighbors for their 40th anniversary. Even though they’ve lived in the valley for multiple decades, they had never been there (which is what I had hoped so as to surprise them). Took us newbies (less than 3 years) to introduce them to one of the valley’s hidden gems. They were captivated and very impressed and appreciative of their dining experience at this lovely setting. Each of us had a different entree and everyone was super pleased with their choice. Our guest has named Melange her new favorite restaurant.”

“Best sushi anywhere!!!”

“Fabulous steak and seafood”

“Great ambiance. The service was outstanding. Outdoor dining was excellent and I enjoyed it very much.”

“Juicylicious burger..one of a kind”

“So delicious so fun best birthday ever!”

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

“Every time I go, it's always a great experience but Odesse was amazing and sweet! She helped me with the app as well and was quick and efficient in taking my order. Please make sure you treat her well, she knows her stuff.🙏”

“Nothing particularly different. Small and local. Service was great, food was good!”

“4 days later...

Vacation mode fully achieved! I've been indulging in all the delicious foods I usually try to avoid. If you’re ever in town, this is the place to eat before you head out!

The vibe here is all about FRESH. We drove over from Phoenix, which was about a 3 1/2 to 4-hour trip, and let me tell you, it was totally worth it for some wholesome eats!

We tried the New Porter and the Hacienda, and everything was freshly made that day—nothing short of incredible! The sides, like the pickle slice and the potato salad, were absolutely fantastic.

After lunch, we couldn’t resist grabbing some bread and buns to go! They had so many choices, including cookies and muffin tops. And drinks? They have everything from bottled water to fountain Pepsi, with free refills to keep you refreshed!

The bread we got was out of this world—cinnamon roll bread and dinner rolls that were to die for!

You can choose between patio seating or eating It’s a definitely must-visit spot!”

“Had the most incredible meal at this restaurant has definitely become my favorite. You have to try this restaurant out it will become your favorite as well.”

“Yummy Benedicts and quiche, and the beignets reminded us of New Orleans. You can forget you’re facing a parking lot with the lovely fountain gurgling and the comfortable cushions for the chairs.”

“The servers were very attentive.”

“Come over to our new Facebook Page 🥰”

“Wait staff was great. Very attentive to our needs. Thank you.”

“My family and I had dinner there on Saturday night the food was great the prices were reasonable and our waitress Michelle was above and beyond a great waitress”

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

“Did you guys ever open the bar outside?”

“Delicious food! We had vegetarians and meat eaters and everyone left happy.There is a reason the Grubhub reviews are 5/5. The food!The Orange tofu was the best we’ve ever had. Very crispy on the outside and soft inside.Vegans and Vegetarians will love this place.My husband got a garlic fish dish that he loved as well.We dined in, but noticed most people order it to go. It’s definitely an old school vibe. Not modern decor. Not really a first date place.Staff was super friendly.Cute mom and pop restaurant. Support small business while eating delicious Chinese food.”

“EXCELLENT SERVICE, GREAT EMPLOYEES. GREAT GM, I'D RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT ANYTIME TO ANYONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. STEVE”

“Amazing food, good service”

“I loved his food and the music!”

“Delicious and great value fixed plate meal. However very very slow and uneven service Overcooked salmon sent back to kitchen and not replaced until other diners had finished eating. Will try once more to see if these problems are a one off . Fingers crossed.”

“We love this restaurant and eat there more than any other restaurant in Coachella Valley . Excellent food and patio area (which it was too hot to be comfortable on on 6/15) is usually fairly quiet and lovely!Was sorry to lear that 6/15 was the restaurants last night serving until the Fall (date to be determined).”

“Best pizza I have ever had! Fun atmosphere! I learned three country line dances. Big john the DJ for country night was awesome!”

“Definitely recommend!! Good service. Great food. Nice ambiance.”

“Amazing Thanksgiving feast!”

“When I’m this far up in LQ I always stop @ Ernie’s ! I had the BBQ Burger and Wings good food and great view !”

“very good food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“I love this DT! I often drive from Cathedral City just to order here cause it’s uniquely delicious. The night crew rocks! Special thanks to Carlos. He’s King!!!”

“recomiendo todo😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤗😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍”

“Nachos with Steak with the beans under all the chips tasted really good... Campechana was just right... Piña a la parrilla was badas.. cooked good... Nothing was burned.. 1st time at Mariachi and definitely recommend...”

“Every time I go Basil Thai, I'm always impressed by each prepared dish. Each entree I have had has its own unique flavor and taste absolutely delicious. You will not be disappointed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“5 ***** , great authentic Ramen. Friendly service, very attentive . I had the spicy torakachi Ramen..very good 👍 large portions too ..”

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

“Love this spot. Best smoothies and great service. I love the evergreen smoothie!”

“Delicious! Great environment and friendly staff. Not too expensive either. Clean and lots of options. Very good!”

“Great service, nice pieces of fish.”

“I vacation in Palm Desert area, frequently, from Canada. We have eaten at this restaurant evey time we come down since it opened a couple of years ago. Last time 5 times in 2 weeks.

This is a fabulous restaurant, with excellent food, staff, atmosphere and prices. Their steaks are perfect, but their other offerings are really good too.

Last time down, they had lamb rack brought back for a limited time only, which was to die for. But this time down it was not on the menu. Alas. But what the heck. But bring it back again, "Eh"!!

This place gets busy fast at dinner time. So, tip, eh, would be to look on their web site, and see wait times, then book, so when you show up you know when abouts you will get in. And if you time it right, you will get right in when you arrive (or close). And avoid longer waits.

Would highly recommend this restaurant, not just for streaks, but for all the rest of chicken, seafood, etc. But bring the "Baaah" back please, eh.”

“the burgers.... are the best, your choice of toppings.”

“Went here for the first time yesterday. Ordered the pizza and wings. The best pizza I had ever had. Truly delicious! The pizza came out pipping hot and fresh as well as the wings. The sauce is authentic using quality ingredients. The lady working the front at the register was super sweet and went through many of the item menus. I met Dominic and another gentleman that worked there. Outstanding customer service often checking how my other half and I were doing and if we needed anything else. I highly recommend this restaurant if you appreciate great customer service and high quality ingredients. We will definitely be going back. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”

“Happy Tea is my go-to boba spot in Lq. The space is always clean and chill for catching up with a friend or just taking a break. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, they always let you know they’re happy to make any adjustments to your drink if needed.

As for the drinks, everything I’ve tried has been genuinely delicious. I highly recommend the Rose Garden if you're looking for something light and refreshing with lychee and boba. The Taro, and the Mango Slush w/o cheese foam) is also recommended. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Happy Tea is easily one of the best spots in LQ. Thank you to the ppl working there for always keeping the vibe at top-tier.”

“Have the Jalapeño Margarita….in fact have 2 or 3. They are great.”

“We went there tonight for the first time after getting a flyer for them. The dining area is clean and nice decor but a bit crowded when navigating between tables. We were asked for our drink order right away, and it delivered quickly. The male server came to take our order but we were not quite ready yet since this was our first visit and wanted to look over the menu. The server turned and left in a huff 🙄, sorry we were putting him out… Later a different server came to take our order. Again, I felt we were putting her out as well, not very hospitable or welcoming. Our meal arrived and it was very good; we really enjoyed it. Unfortunately after the meal was delivered our server went missing in action, no check back or refill on our drinks. In fact she was so busy chatting with the table behind me that she just reached over to set the bill for the meal on our table without breaking stride in her conversation with the other table. When it was time to go we asked for to-go containers for what we had not eaten; again I felt like we interrupted her as she returned with the containers dropped them on the table, turned and walked away. Later she returned to pick up our payment, not a thank you or how was your visit just grab and go. Bottom line for us, while the food was very good, well prepared and presented. The service was very underwhelming. We will have to think about returning for a second visit.”

“good service, love the ribs, beef and pork belly as well as the spicy belly, as well as the Is kimchi”

“7 months ago-Edit This is so much more than a sandwich or lunch. This is high quality products at a fair price. More over, the staff is friendly and the owner is so involved in the community and so giving and philanthropic. I cannot help but want to solicit his business more because of this!”

“Yesterday me and my friends went to eat at Carl's junior. While we had went to other places none would accept our 100 dollar bill which is reasonable. This place was the only place that took it and we are so thankful for that. It was 10 almost 11 and they still had a positive attitude to serve us. The only thing that had me concerned was the car in the front parking lot, risky move there. Just kidding. This is one of the best carls junior in the valley. Keep up the good work and I would most definitely will be telling my friends and family to go to this carls junior.”

“Excellent staff, management & food offerings”

“Rolls are HUGE this could be good or bad depending on your preference but no matter what you order it’s going to be a delicious and each dish definitely puts on a show ! The place is small and cozy and service is good. The only thing I do stay away from here is the lemonade never had a lemonade taste so synthetic and fake. Over all this is a great establishment with rolls that have personality.”

“Food & coffee was excellent as usual. But for the first time ever, the staff and atmosphere were disappointing. No personal cup discount or stars, despite saying it at the time of order. Plus, I handed her my cup and she filled it (counter order). Then the topper! The most neglected bathroom that i have ever encountered at Starbucks. Trash all over the floors and the walls need to wiped once in a while. (Photos included)”

“It’s like cheers, where everyone knows your name😊 friendly staff”

“A wonderful place to visit!! Strengthen your health, and support local!!!”

“Yummy Benedicts and quiche, and the beignets reminded us of New Orleans. You can forget you’re facing a parking lot with the lovely fountain gurgling and the comfortable cushions for the chairs.”

“My favorite ice cream is praline 🍦💓”

“went to eat with my friend there was good service”

“Hard working manager ensures efficient, clean and inviting dining atmosphere. Great experience per usual when I frequent this location. Great friendly service, hot food, reasonable prices and plenty of big screens for sports fans like me.”

“I've been to several of these establishments, but I can honestly say that today's experience has topped them all. I had the pleasure of meeting Alejandro, and he was a absolute delight. Very friendly and helpful. Other places are quick to rush you in and out, and to be honest, seem frustrated if you ask questions. Not here. I hope his supervisors see this and I hope they know what a great employee they have. Thank you again Alejandro for the great interaction”

“very very good...... i love the bacon”

“This McDonalds seems to be better than most in the area (there a good one off of 48 & Jackson in Indio too). The employees tend to be fairly nice and halfway knowledgeable in their skill set (as anywhere there's always one to mess it up). They get the order right and hot 8 of 10 times. Prices have gone up and the meal deals are hit and miss with stuff you really want.”

“They meat is good quality & delicious”

“I got the special so my burger wasn't as tasty as everyone else's but I upgraded to a shake and we all shared that deliciousness! Our server was on top of everything.”

“Great service & food. Cannot wait to go back. Potstickers and Orange Chicken was delicious.”

“My kind of place! Here in the desert, there are people from everywhere. And whatever team you follow, you can watch it here. Spacious, large place has many big screens. I especially love B&B for NFL Sundays. All the games & then lots of good beer brands on tap (and in case you gulp instead of sipping, the an extra large glass over a pint for your favorite suds). Full bar too. I gave five stars all across except for the food which I gave 4 of 5. It's very good bar food, but not great. If you go for the 10 am NFL games, I recommend the omelets. It can get a bit noisy for football, but in the 5 or six times I've been, the folks there are respectful and nice and I've never had a hard time finding a seat near a TV with my game. Lots of knowledgable friendly staff here. Now B&B is my desert sports place, forget about Beer Hunter and other dusty, dated old places.”

“I called this location and talked to a very nice girl named Alexis. I asked her if they had the vegan plant based orange chicken. She said yes. I asked her if it was fresh and that I was driving 12 miles to get it. She said she would make sure that it was cooked fresh and that it would be ready when we got there. This kind of customer service is what dreams are made of.”

“Yum, yum, yum. Very nice place with great flavors. I can really recommend mango, chocolate and salted caramel pretzel. Large menu with toppings and good stuff.Place is extremely clean and neat. No background music (but tv was on in the kids corner) so it feels a bit "empty".But over all a great place and we are definitely coming back.”

“Their chicken teriyaki bowls are the best around. It's a small, cozy place that's kind of tucked away but definitely worth stopping by for lunch or dinner. Ordering ahead for pickup is also available.”

“Friendly informative, inviting, DELICIOUS!!!!”

“Make it what you want it to be!”

“Great customer service all smiles and super fast at least for me it was. This was my experience..Wooooooooooooo!!”

“I love the newly renovated ambiance, the yummy vanilla latte with oat milk, and the exciting new updates Jodie from CaliRosina is putting towards this cute cafe in Old Town La Quinta!!! She truly believes in providing customers with the highest quality ingredients made without fillers and artificial ingredients. She sources some of the best tea from around the world and coffee from small business roasters that take pride in the products they produce. She's filled with detailed knowledge on tea + chocolates from Cali Rosina, and she's bringing her very educated background to Main Street Coffee! The best quality beverages are worth the wait, hand crafted to order. As she's putting her love and efforts into Main Street Coffee while balancing Cali Rosina, be sure to give her some grace during this transitional time period. It's a lot of work behind the scenes, but she's always soo delightful you wouldn't know just how much love is poured into every drink. I'm excited to hang out and enjoy lattes at the cafe this fall season! Well done Jodie + Team!!!!”

“The Spanish latte is addictive. So delicious. Also the ham and cheese and egg croissant. The staff is always pleasant. I’m so fortunate that Citrus ? CC is connected with this beautiful resort .”

“Outdoor dining only here Shady at 1-2pm”

“Best Watermelon Chamoy in the City of La Quinta”

“I like subway. But the increase on prices is ridiculous. Better up their game or file for bankruptcy. 50 dollars for 1 six inch and two footlongs and a bag of chips. Yikes. Won't be going back for a while. Much cheaper to make fresh sandwiches at home.”

“The food was delicious service was excellent. Definitely going back.”

“This is a busy establishment I called around 11 am to place a pick up order, Let's get to the point of the food, wonderful and savory broth, very filling I highly recommend it.”

“Excellent staff, management & food offerings”

“I have been getting threatening texts from an old boyfriends brother who I haven't seen in 30 years. He accuses me of being the lover of Michelle Salvatore and says a lot of horrible things about her. I googled her and it brought me here. Then I see his review defending her honor calling himself Pastor David Spencer DeHoyos. WOW! Its like someone who steals from you then helps you look for what they took. Michell this is your rumor culprit. You must have turned him down before. Smart girl.”

“This place was absolutely great. Steve our server was super friendly and the food was spot on. Will definitely come back again.”

“My family and I had dinner there on Saturday night the food was great the prices were reasonable and our waitress Michelle was above and beyond a great waitress”
