“Stopped by Jalisco on our way into Joshua Tree and had a lunch so delicious we had to go again on our way out of the park. Some of the best Mexican food we’ve had, and the service was great too”

“My favorite stop when driving to Arizona. I love there pancakes. Now I can get my favorite omelet and add pancakes for $2.00. I love their servers they really work as a team. Their cooks always make my food perfect.”

“My friend and I enjoyed everything. We started with the burrata, I got the filet, and she had the salmon. Everything was delicious and tasty. We both commented that everything had the perfect amount of salt for our taste too! The tahini ice cream was interesting and not too heavy which made it the perfect way to end the meal. The service was wonderful. Interesting location and very tastefully decorated inside. We definitely splurged, but it was worth it!”

“Exceptional food in a vibrant art filled setting ; original museum quality art work and photos nightly electric curated selection; both the bar and the food are first rate”

“There is good food, there is great food, and once in a great while you hit that place that not only has great food, but amazing service, owner and staff. Those moments really hit, and this was one of those moments. Hint, they open at 4, get in line at least by 3:30.”

“The crepes here are like no other delicious and creative as well”

“Absolutely Delicious. Would definitely recommend 💯”

“Sat outside around 9 tonight and had wonderful service. Food was excellent and the cocktails were delicious. Margarita flight was the perfect choice. 10/10 would recommend”

“Frisky Business’s byline—“Where Cats, Community, and Kindness Come Together”—truly encapsulates not only its business philosophy; but also what it is like to visit here. Whether it’s for a refreshing coffee drink and tasty pastry; spending some time playing with in-house cats (for a reasonable fee); or attending one of the special events, it’s always a fun and enjoyable experience. On top of that (and reflecting the values of “Mr and Mrs Frisky”), there is a “pay it forward” board where one can purchase a drink or cat visit for someone who might need some support; and a pantry box where cat food donations can be dropped off for those who can use it or who feed community cats. I recommend Frisky Business to my local friends; and it’s a must “to do” when visitors come to town. It’s a great place owned by great people.”

“Great food and drinks..Relaxed vibe and atmosphere. Tacquitos Dorado and Tacos LA Paz were excellent...We'll be back!!!”

“Love the food here-so creative and incredibly tasty!”

“I just tried this place last week as I am staying in Palm Springs for a month. I loved the sandwiches! I might go back today to explore more of their food, and buying some of their awesome Vegan shirts and merch!”

“Great food and great prices. It is a rare find to get good ethic food in Palm Springs. This is a great one.”

“This is one of the coolest bars anywhere. No signs. Just a heavy dark curtain covers the entrance from the adjoining steak house. Exceptional boutique cocktail bar. Wonderful libations and super service.”

“Friendly and Welcoming small town atmosphere bar and grill. Great service, food and drinks. Due to both the bartenders who also take your order and serve you. And, their great cook!”

“As others have said... do not judge the food by the outside. This place was amazing! The older couple are amazing! The service was fast! And the food was delicious! It was well worth the 45min drive to it. The spicy garlic edamame was the best I've ever had! Well worth the trip.”

“Went here to celebrate my son's graduation from college. We had a fantastic experience. We started off with some appetizers drinks. I had the avocado taco salad. The food was excellent. We all indulged in a mai tai, they were perfect. We can't wait to dine here again. The atmosphere was great, our server was very pleasant. The manager even came over to ask how everything was and asked if we needed anything.”

“The chef is amazing, deserves maximum Michelin stars! Brian S, NYC and Provincetown”

“I ordered take out. I searched google maps, 3 separate times, because I thought there was a mistake (there was, but google maps would not say differently). I ended up driving an extra hour, to Palm Desert and back. Apparently it was their previous location which google maps had not updated. Yes, I was very irritated by the time I received my food. Understand, the location is in downtown Palm Springs. The take out food was very good.”

“Some places you discover. Others you return to — year after year, like a ritual you'd never dare break. Counter Reformation in Palm Springs is the latter, and every visit only deepens the devotion.

Dark, intimate, and dripping with atmosphere, this is a wine bar that takes the craft seriously without taking itself too seriously. The vibe is effortlessly cool — candlelit and unhurried, the kind of room where time loosens its grip and conversation flows as freely as the wine.

Speaking of which — Britney. The woman is a gift. As sommelier, she curates this list with a connoisseur's precision and a true lover's instinct. She remembers what you liked, anticipates what you'll adore, and somehow always lands on the exact pour you didn't know you needed. Her knowledge is vast, but it's her warmth that truly elevates the experience. In Britney's hands, every glass tells a story.

Year after year, Counter Reformation earns its place as one of our most cherished stops in the desert. It never disappoints. It only gets better.

See you again next year.”

“Food is great as well as the prices. Margarita are good as well. I will definitely be coming back. I’ve been here four or five times now. The waiter didn’t once ask me once how my meal was. Nor did he offer dessert. The gentleman refilling my water, salsa, and chips was awesome though. Maybe I happen to miss it each time I’m but I really would like to hear some mariachi or other types of traditional Mexican music whether live or recorded. This is a Mexican restaurant after all. Again, I definitely plan on coming back.”

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.”

“The most delicious, family-owned restaurant in Palm Springs. Honestly the best food and quality I have eaten in all of my trips to this area. The owner and his wife make everything from scratch, making the 15-20 min wait welllll worth it! He even gave us some fresh passionfruit juice while we waited.

We couldn’t wait to get back home and dig in. The patacones with shredded beef was absolutely insane. The empanadas were deliciously flavored and spiced, I cant wait to come back.”

“such a cool place. food is awesome, service was excellent. it's a really busy place, but you feel neither neglected or rushed. My vegetarian friend also was able to find a huge selection to choose from. I highly recommend this place!”

“Great sandwich and super friendly staff!”

“I apologize but I have been going to get food at this location ever since they opened. I should have given a review from the start, but I wanted to wait until I truly experienced all of what they have to offer. All I have to say is, AMAZING. Everything from their carnitas tacos to carne asada nachos is the best. I can say I even drink their hot sauce lol. You want food that gives every bang for the buck, you need to go here. They are such wonderful people to deal with, which makes it even better.”
