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.”

“Stop for coffee and breakfast while riding my bike. Great place for fresh food and great food. Service was a little off but will not deter me from returning. Will highly recommend for anybody and everybody who is looking for something good and unique in Old Town La Quinta California.”

“The vegan chocolate blondie was the best vegan cupcake I’ve ever had…it might even be the best cupcake (vegan or not) that I’ve had. The safe was very friendly. Can’t wait to get more cupcakes.”

“great eats and great service”

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

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

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

“We dined here last night for our anniversary not expecting much as we were just in Paris last month (Also location is on a strip mall). Needless to say we were pleasantly surprised of the food and service. Hubby had the escargot and I had the octopus for starters. He had the veal cordon bleu and I had the halibut for entree. Kudos to Chef Emmanuel for a very tasty French food and special shoutout to our server Gina. She is exceptional, seasoned and we can tell she loves her job. We will definitely be back if we’re in the area and recommend to friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.”

“Best food I have had in a long time. Beautiful atmosphere and would highly recommend for occasions. It was perfect for our birthday party. Our waiter was great and I highly recommend.”

“I had probably the absolute best chicken mole enchiladas I have ever had outside of Puebla Mexico. My partner had a chickpea cerviche which was really yummy. What a surprise accidental find. To me, it's the best Mexican restaurant in the entire valley. The decor is quite pretty.”

“What a pleasant surprise! We ordered from here on a whim and boy were we in for a treat!!! Excellent pizza and salads. Our new go to :)”

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

“Best sushi anywhere!!!”

“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! ?”

“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!”

“1st time you Dutch Bros. I was greeted by the most friendliest happy staffer who came to take my order. Since I had no clue on what I wanted to try. He asked me some questions on what I usually like, then suggested options for me to choose. He made my visit so much fun, I ordered 4 drinks, and everyone loved all my choices. I highly recommend it.”

“Great GREAT food! The green chili cheeseburger is so good. A delightful combination.”

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

“This was a local take out order. All items were picked up as described. The highlight is the bread. Big sandwich offerings. It was tough to make a decision on what to eat.

Chocolate chip cookies were also ordered and enjoyed! Really hearty and full of chips. Thumbs up.

I would order from them again.

Parking: Lot is shared but has many spots available.”

“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!”

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

“We had a great time visiting after the art fair. The chilie gueritos were wonderful. Comfortable fun atmosphere. Oscar was a great server‼️”

“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”

“It was my birthday and in 8 years, we had never been to LG's. A friend recommended it so we decided to choose it for my birthday celebration. We were very impressed with everything, we shared the chateaubriand for two and shared a bottle of Pinot noir and everything was absolutely delicious... Look forward to returning sometime soon!”

“Did you guys ever open the bar outside?”

“Had it two days in a row because the ramen is that good. had the spicy tonkotsu level 2 on day 1 and then spicy tonkotsu level 4 on day 2. Level 4 was better but still not spicy to the point of it not being enjoyable. We did substitute thicker noodles and they made a world of difference. The karrage is DELICIOUS and the gyoza was good too. Will definitely be coming back!!!”

“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.”

“The servers were very attentive.”

“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.”

“Amazing food, good service”

“I loved his food and the music!”

“Great atmosphere and service. We had a very nice dinner and dessert. One of our steaks was a little over-cooked but the server and manager fixed it right away. Everything else was fantastic.”

“Very friendly staff, and best the margaritas around!!”

“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!”

“It has been years since we ate at Ernie's. We are there with our Realtor when we closed on our home here 7 years ago and it was ok, not great. We are there Saturday after a hot afternoon of golf, and were blown away. Sat on the deck, watched the evening deepen and really enjoyed it.
Good selection of beer, a full bar, a really nice restaurant with a wide menu and it was worth the visit.
I had the Kobe Sliders with Caramelized onions. They were wonderful. Also had the fries with it, and they literally blew us away. Like spectacular. The fries were not typical, the were plump and hot and just outstanding.
The Swordfish Tacos were well done, tasty and generous. Also had a margarita pizza that was not terrible, but not same quality as the rest of the meal.
We were the last people there, and the wait staff was gracious and patient with us.
It was their last week before they shut for the summer and a remodel.”

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

“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 do reviews all day long. I am amazed at the customer service and the cleanliness of this McDonald's. This location is on highway 111 and Adams in the city of La Quinta. I would recommend this place to all great atmosphere the cleanest McDonald's I've ever been to and great service. You're cleaning crew is absolutely amazing. I've never been to a cleaner McDonald's in my life. Thank you McDonald's for an amazing experience and for a clean restaurant.”

“A very clean del taco and fav of mine. Staff is very nice and prices are great. A great place for a quick bite to get ya going

Parking: Many spaces and next door too”

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“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...”

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

“Great service, nice pieces of fish.”

“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...”

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

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

“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.”

“Everything is delicious!!”

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

“Loved this place! We love our sushi and have pretty high standards. This spot checked all of the boxes: excellent sized portions (largest I’ve ever had), delicious and fresh fish and great service.

Presentation was beautiful for all of our dishes. My Sunshine roll was so large, I could barely fit each piece into my mouth. The salmon was fresh and so tasty.

My daughter enjoyed her teriyaki chicken and my mom enjoyed the yakisoba noodles with chicken. Dad ordered a combo with sashimi, teriyaki chicken and tempura.

Great spot for excellent sushi! Looking forward to our next visit.”

“These little cakes are heavenly. I had the chocolate chocolate chip, and it was moist and delicious. It was topped with a creamy buttercream frosting. They are individually, packaged to keep in the moisture, but are pretty enough to give us a gift.”

“When going here, be prepared for very friendly staff along with delicious drinks and food. Got a bunch of the bao buns and taiyaki flavors to try along with our drinks and they were all amazing. There’s also a combo deal with any drink choice and Korean corn dog for $11 which is an amazing deal for the tasty duo. Definitely recommend the rose milk tea, crème brûlée fresh milk tea, any of the taiyaki flavors (personal favorites are the chocolate churro, cheesecake, chocolate/nutella banana, and cheese and jalapeño), and the Korean corn dogs.

(From the Bay Area)”

“Amy was so accommodating and friendly! Will was friendly The food was fresh tasting We will be back!”

“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.”

“JimmyJohns never disappoints! We have ordered many, many times whether its for a business event or just staff lunches. You can never go wrong with a Jimmy Johns sandwich after all they are known for the freak fresh bread! Staff is awesome, Restaurant is always clean and food is amazing!”

“Firstly, before giving this narrative, that I hope helps whoever needs to read this, I would like to preface: if you take a look at my reviews, rarely would I ever speak negatively, only, if in truth it would be the just thing to do and the need to named staff or establishment really needs to take a look at themselves. Trust me, I have a few one or two brewing, but I also believe in giving a fair amount of chance for a positive change. I want to believe in the best of people. That being said, I will do nothing short of giving credit where it is due, because too rare do we look for the positive; I hope I can shed some of the light I have found within my own positive experiences.

Amazing atmosphere! Superior Service! Marvelous moments! And a terrific team! A little Doctor Suess alliteration for some silly amusement for the team I speak of so highly. I hope you guys can find some enjoyment when you get a chance to read, and hopefully make you crack a smile, because it is the least I can do for all the smiles you have made me carry with me after starting or ending my day with you! The whole team serves excellence, even if they are having a rough day, they always bring their best and reciprocate the kind and respectful energy I try to give; they ALWAYS reciprocate double-fold! I would like to point out a few who have really stood out, and then two who have gone above and beyond. Lea, Kennedy, Geronimo, Dylan, and a few others- whose names I will acquire and add into the edit later- Thank you SO much for the positive attitude and vibes, the warm and friendly faces, the kindness, and personability... all are things that are often forgotten in the service industry and even amongst one another...YOU guys help to restore my faith in humanity every time I get to see you guys! Now for these two, no words could truly describe the way they have already, repeatedly exemplified sincerity and "love for your neighbor"...V and Nick, we need more hearts like yours in this world; Thank you! And to the whole team, thank you all, I look forward to all the vibes here at Jefferson/111 Starbucks <3

Recommend anything V, Geronimo, and Nick make (I have yet to try everyone else's specialties). As a bartender, myself, these shoutouts are highly recommended! Just let them know what flavor, sweetness and intensity you are in the mood for and they can whip things up and you won't be disappointed.

Vegetarian options: Vegan options available

Dietary restrictions: I am sure they can work with you on dietary restrictions

Parking: plenty and pretty open outdoor parking in this little marketplace.

Kid-friendliness: A great mixed environment

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes Wheelchair accessible”

“Love the food and milkshakes, better than McDonald's. Took no more than 10-20 minutes to get our whole order in. I loved the taste of the Double Famous Star. It tastes exactly what a burger should be, unlike McDonald's which pretty much don't have taste for their burgers these days (based on what my taste buds tasted)”

“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.”

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

“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 have been coming to the La Quinta area for the past few years (a couple weeks at a time) and attend this specific Starbucks everyday while we are here. It's fantastic to see familiar staff each year and additionally are friendly and always greet you with a smile. One particular barista that stands out is Zoe. She always has a smile and recalls what we order. This level of service is far and few between these days; however, it continues to thrive at this location. As we get ready to head back home in a couple days, we look forward to returning here next year with the hope of seeing Zoe and her co-workers! Well done Starbucks, you have a great crew here!”

“I had an email promotion for a BOGO, other location could not figure out how to redeem. At this location the guy took time out to assist me in figuring it out. So, will return to this location again.”

“The girl who works mornings (says Jazmyn on receipt) is the sweetest and kindest personality every time I stop by. That kind of consistency deserves a raise just for her pleasantry and I hope she does well and prospers in life. Taco Bell, good hire. ??? Ya did good.”

“Just tried the much hyped "Smashburger" with a chocolate shake. It was good. I would put it up against the Dbl Cheeseburger at In&Out although they taste completely different. It's an $8.00 burger so you are paying a premium price”

“Coffee club up to $12 from $9; didn't use it enough before, certainly not worth it now.

Charged lemonades still taste too good and have a big kick!”

“My children are fans of Pollo loco and requested for a 5 star review. We go every time they want to celebrate a sports competition and need to recharge energy with chicken nachos.I have to admit, even though I’m not 100% aligned with the branding, the food is good quality and absolutely delicious. I specially enjoy the chicken salad and can’t wait to try it again!”

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

“Sundaes ❤️❤️these are our favorites. And the price is great”

“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 .”

“Very positive experience, my first time here. Had a Chucky Strawberry Bowl with blueberries and honey, no bananas in the mix or on top. It was exactly the way I like it.”

“The pitaya bowl really hits the spot when I'm craving a sweet but healthy morning treat. I've tried a handful of juice bars in the desert and Fresh Juice Bar is my favorite by a mile. They also have a great free loyalty program with frequent coupons/incentives.”

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

“Was surprised that it was actually very good. We ordered the galbi soup, galbi, and ramyun. The galbi was cooked nicely and served on a stone plate. Galbi’s soup was delicious but the beef rib was a little overcooked. Ramyun was very typical of what’d you expect.”

“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.”

“Excellent staff, management & food offerings”

“Make it what you want it to be!”

“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.”

“My wife and I are regular customers of the Red Robin in La Quinta, CA and we’re always pleased with the quality of the food and service.

While we do eat in-restaurant occasionally, most times we take out. The orders are always ready on time and accurate, and today was no exception.

Beyond that, I always ask for a duplicate receipt and they’re always accommodating. Today, Ken, who I believe was the manager on duty, personally got this duplicate receipt for me and made sure my order was correct.

We will continue to be loyal customers of this Red Robin location.”

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

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

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

“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!”

“Love this place to eat breakfast. Run until 3 pm

Editing previous review: still my favorite place to eat breakfast on Weekends specially. Love their Benedict and more than anything their service. They listen to your orders and customize as you like for most part. I always love going there it’s clean with Mountain View on side. Perfect Sunday brunch or Saturday breakfast place. Try it highly recommend. Go early or a little late so it’s not that crowded”

“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.”
