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.”

“Salted caramel is the way to go. delicious. Thanks guys.”

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

“We were visiting from out of town and looking for a great breakfast spot on our way out of town the last morning. Wow did we get lucky finding this place. We beat the Sunday rush so sat right down and the service was wonderful. Food was amazing and everyone was happy. We had pancakes, biscuits and gravy, ham steak (gigantic - split this), Country Breakfast and Pancake Sandwich! Everything was just excellent and we'll be back next time for sure.”

“great eats and great service”

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

“Had to drop a star‑studded review for Yes Please, this little café is a gem!
The avocado toast with beets and arugula is simply perfection. The baked goods, especially huckleberry scones and flaky biscuits, had me hooked. Coffee? Next level.
During a Sunday street fair it was busy, but the team handled it like pros—with big smiles and efficient service.
Pet‑friendly outdoor patio, good parking, and a menu with something for everyone. Breakfast and lunch only, but it’s absolutely worth the early start.
5/5 and can’t wait to return!”

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

“The decor is completely different and looks very nice. Service was friendly and attentive and they were able to accommodate some food restrictions very easily and the food was very good.”

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

“I love this restaurant. The food is amazing and the people are amazing. The staff are very friendly and work very hard. The food is very consistent at a high level. I have been for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All wonderful. Please go and make it one of your favorite restaurants also!”

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

“not inexpensive, but fabulous and well worth every penny. Service is fabulous, food was amazing! the scallop special was delicious, the butter leaf salad, and profiteroles! So good, and really gorgeous presentation!”

“It's a chain restaurant but the food is pretty good. The one thing that was really annoying was the loud music. Most of patrons are elderly and having to shout over loud music coming out of a speaker is not a good experience”

“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!”

“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!”

“DUTCH BROS LA QUINTA!!! The team here is incredible. Very friendly and efficient. They get you in and out quickly, regardless of how long the lines may be. Always a good experience.”

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

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

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

“This is our favorite restaurant in La Quinta and we eat here at least once a week. On this HH visit we had our usual Stuft Pizza small classic pizza and a ceasar salad. The small pizzas are thin crust (our favorite) and we think their ceasar salad is also excellent. Service is always good and this visit it was also good. Food is always good and a great value too.”

“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”

“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.”

“Did you guys ever open the bar outside?”

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

“Come over to our new Facebook Page 🥰”

“Fabulous steak and seafood”

“The servers were very attentive.”

“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.”

“fresh quality ingredients, deliciously authentic Chinese food, friendly service. i confidently recommend this restaurant 👌”

“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!”

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

“I loved his food and the music!”

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

“Amazing Thanksgiving feast!”

“Amazing food, good service”

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“​❤️​ Had an amazing dinner at Twenty6 last Friday night. I was able to get a sneak peak taste of their upcoming fall/winter appetizer. The burrata, olive tapenade, salami and chorizo was absolutely amazing. The taste was outstanding and the presentation was beautiful! After devouring the appetizer, my friend and I decided to split the Chicken Milanese. It was such a great choice. The entree was light and had such a brightness to the taste. Typically, I don't order fried dishes and do not like arugula, however, I was intrigued by the description. All the flavors came together to complement the dish perfectly. I honestly loved the pepper taste of arugula combined with the fresh bright taste of the tomatoes, bell peppers, and lemon vinaigrette. Overall, the dinner was delicious. Our server Hilario, was also fabulous! He was quick, efficient but not overly intrusive. We had a wonderful experience at Twenty6 and will return soon.”

“food and cocktails where great. very nice staff. reservations are a must and specify where u want to sit!!!”

“highly recommend it!! I've learned nutrition and been watching out for my diet. I rarely consume carbs (only eat the healthy one). Franky's whole grain is the best! It's tasty(not dry) and healthy!Btw, Franky is so warm and kind lollll”

“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!!!”

“Always a pleasure to nosh on the world’s best sourdough, fabulous coffee or mushroom tea, and inspirational little shoppe.”

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

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Best sushi anywhere!!!”

“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...”

“We were in from out of town looking for a sports bar and found this place. We got lucky with this one and ended up going 2 nights there. Don't let the name fool you, the Mexican dishes on the menu were outstanding and probably ended up being everyone's favorite items. Wings, Bills R.V. Nachos, Burgers, Enchiladas, Cobb Burger among the favorites. LOTS of TVs, Great Service and never a wait for us. Highly recommend.”

“Great service, nice pieces of fish.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“Born and raised in Chicago, we had Rosati’s at family gatherings on the regular. I left in 2001, and definitely miss the pub style pizza I grew up with.

We rented a house in Indio for a long weekend, and when I saw there was a Rosati’s 15 minutes away I almost lost my mind!

We got a pizza Friday and beef sandwiches Saturday and I was SO HAPPY!

The food is spot on and the staff is so friendly. I felt like I was back home”

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

“Excellent staff, management & food offerings”

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

“Cakes taste as good as they look!”

“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.”

“My favorite ice cream is praline 🍦💓”

“Good Food! great views! free coffee! Good looking people ;)”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“This was my first visit to Pho Vu. It was very busy but the staff seated us and even recommended some dishes to try. Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious and very flavorful. I can see why it's such a busy spot. If you've never tried Vietnamese cuisine before, this is a great place to start. We will return for future visits. Delicious and large size portions.”

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

“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)”

“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.”

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

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

“VONS is the best place to shop, & I am Awesome of what I do, as a courtesy Clerk”

“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 frozen yogurts are absolutely delicious with a satisfying taste! Amazing customer service, especially met this young lady named Liliana she’s so welcoming ! Will definitely be coming again !”

“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 .”

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

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

“A Starbucks these days is just a Starbucks. The chain that launched a thousand real estate careers has pretty much homogenized itself into just another coffee shop. The thrill of going into the warm, inviting "third place" is gone. The Christmas time thrill of the "magic", not so much.

This location stands out a little, it still has seats around small tables, a community high top and one or two padded chairs. The wi-fi is still free and there are a pretty good number of electric outlets. But its all-neutral colors and hard edges. And a not too easy drive-thru lane.

But, the crew here is particularly sharp, they understand how to run the place and seldom get it wrong. The drive thru staff is efficient, they usually have pleasant words. Yeah, there are other locations that are closer, but this is the one we like the best.

I like Starbucks Coffee. It is my favorite; I used to go every day. Now it's once or twice a week. It is not as warm and welcoming. The prices seem to increase by the order, and long before "inflation" gave an excuse. Others, like San Diego's Buzz have the edge on ambiance now.

Remember when they promised coffee would always be their core product. Now you're lucky to find a package of beans at a Starbucks.

Parking: The lot is small, there is parking in the center lot, but not close and you have to cross a travel lane. They have occasional jam ups.”

“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.”

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

“Best Watermelon Chamoy in the City of La Quinta”

“Make it what you want it to be!”

“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”

“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.”

“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”

“They meat is good quality & delicious”

“Such a great place with a friendly staff and amazing food! Must have the house made buttermilk biscuit!”

“Come over to our new Facebook Page 🥰”

“Panera quality is back! I had an awesome meal at a great value and the ambiance is great to do some office/school work while you get a pastry and a coffee. I recommend the flavofull strawberry salad with puppy seeds, it was in season and it was delicious. Pair it with the Italian sandwich and you got yourself a great meal.”
