“We went to Maleza for dinner in Palm Springs and ohh boy!!! At first, when we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty—which I didn’t mind at all (actually liked it!). Since it was already 7 pm, we thought we might be the only ones there, but within no time the place filled up quickly and was packed—we loved seeing that energy.

We ordered wine, starters, and then dinner, and everything was absolutely delicious. We also finished with a really good dessert to top it all off.

Maleza is definitely a spot we’d 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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I totally enjoyed my recent and a previous dinner occasion at La Perlita. Service was friendly and efficient, from being greeted through departure after enjoying a delicious meal. Portions were just right in size, not too little or too much. I had the pollo asado and was very satisfied.“

“Dinner was amazing! Margaritas are great too!“

“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.“

“The mole enchiladas were TO DIE FOR! I cook mole and this recipe has me stumped, the presentation is also 10/10 The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The chips and salsa were excellent as well and I had the Jamaica agua fresca and it’s was just sweet enough any sweeter or diluted would be too much!!! Definitely coming back!!!“

“The best Mexican food in Palm Springs and lots of healthy fresh options. Friendly staff and great service. The grilled chicken crunchy taco tacos are my favorite, shrimp tacos are terrific also. Rice and beans are very good. Enchiladas are great.“

“Great food and they are wonderful at supporting our hometown community“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“Great food, great employees Great with the kids“

“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.“

“Best Mexican Cuisine in the valley. Delicious everytime“

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

“The restaurant's decor and ambience are full of Mexican style, perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends. The outdoor seating area is particularly popular, especially in warm weather“

“Good chimichanga.

I had the Chimichanga, with shredded beef. The beef was tasty. I didn't pay.attention when ordering, that it came with a sauce on top. The reason I like chimichanga is for the crunchy/crispy shell. The sauce was good, just changed the way I expected a chimichanga to taste (textually). Don't get me wrong, it was good, but next time I'll get it without the sauce on top and make it great.

The staff was friendly and fast. We got seated right away, ordered taken shortly after being seated, and food arrived not too long after that.

Tha ambiance of this place it nice, typical stip-mall building, basic Mexican restaurant seating and tables.“

“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.“

“Staff are very friendly. They were clear about what my choices were. Everything was remarkably clean I only complained as the food is too salty That said I ordered two chicken tacos and maybe I got four give me four tacos impact to so much that it overflowed into other two“

“Wow!! Absolutely amazing restaurant and bar! Flew in late last night and wanted a fun place with atmosphere to have appetizers and drinks. This was the perfect place!! Outdoor or indoor patio with mist kept is cool and refreshed. Loved the dim lighting and the modern decor! So inviting and relaxing. Fresh flowers on the tables and comfortable chairs. Very good service ! Excellent food! Tasty drinks that were visually appealing!! I’ll definitely go back ! Julio The manager greeted us and chatted with us and made us feel so welcome!! Our waiter was Jonathan was very friendly and attentive . This place is a gem and in the perfect location downtown!“

“The food and service at Tortillas Restaurant is amazing!! 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!“

“nice food nice taste with love for you“

“The best food ever for Mexican food“

“Good food and friendly employees great service“

“Don Tacorriendo is our favorite place in the valley for Mexican food. Good prices, great selection and portions, and delicious food. Also, you can buy pints of their great salsa and refried beans to take home. Great spot!!“

“Great. Food love the drink.“

“I recently visited El Ranchito Taco Shop, and it did not disappoint! I ordered a fish taco and shrimp tacos, thinking they’d be small—so I ordered three. But to my surprise, the one fish taco alone was so filling! It was flavorful, cooked to perfection, and honestly one of the best I’ve had.

The shrimp tacos were just as delicious, perfectly seasoned and topped with fresh ingredients. The salsa tied everything together with just the right kick. On top of the amazing food, the service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better.

Definitely ordering the fish taco again on my next visit! If you’re looking for authentic Mexican flavors, generous portions, and great value, El Ranchito Taco Shop is a must-try. 🌮🐟🍤“

“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.“

“I’m blown away! This food should be Michelin recommended. I’ve lived in California for over a decade and been to Mexico multiple times - and these may be the best fish and shrimp tacos that I’ve ever had in my entire life. And our server was truly the sweetest person in the world.“

“Wow wow wow! Stumbled on this taco joint a couple of nights ago on Door Dash late night. And much to our surprise it was only a few minutes down the road so we jumped in the car and made our way to this unassuming taco truck. The gal was so sweet and helpful with making choices and recommendations for me. Walked away with 7 tacos to share, and they were all so bomb that I came back to order more the next night.Will make this stop every time I visit Palm Springs. And make sure you try all the sauces/salsas. They are all delicious. Particularly the second hottest red salsa and the creamy green cilantro.We ordered the kimchi, wasabi, grilled shrimp and chimichurri tacos. Plus some asada and pastor street tacos. All would recommend! Thank you for being so awesome and nice!

Parking: Loads of parking.“

“Good food I love the barbacoa yum 😋“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“Very good tacos. The Salsa is ok. But the service, proce and food all make it a 5!“

“This is our go to place in Palm Desert!“

“This place is great it is so good and price is great it pretty clean and not to pricy overall rating 4.7“

“Authentic Mexican Food 1 Tripas taco 1 asada taco 1 birria taco 1 asada fries BOMB!“

“When I was about 10 years old, maybe younger, I loved the carne Asad burrito from here. Im 35 now and the burrito is made the same way and taste the same. It's a great to have something like this in my life and I hope it never changes“

“It had been a number of years since I visited Rubio's. I was happy to see that the food was still very good and the only thing is the size of the tacos was the same but sadly not as much shrimp. I did expect a little more considering the price of nearly $10 for the two tacos. But I do know that with inflation and higher costs for wages that restaurants have to do what they can do to survive. I would still recommend Rubio's to anyone that wants a good shrimp taco or a good fish taco in many other options as well

Kid-friendliness: I noticed that there were two high chairs available

Wheelchair accessibility: There was plenty of room for wheelchairs inside and also on the patio would have also been an easy arrival for wheelchairs as it was a large gate open to enter that way“

“Love that place, you walking in and you're you're welcomed, in maks me feel at home.“

“Come to this place for the El pastor tacos ($3.80ea). It’s the only place in the desert that does it the traditional way, on a vertical skewer. They don’t greet you with a hug when you come in so don’t expect that. In a valley full of mediocre Mexican food, this taco will set you free…“
