50 Best Mexican Restaurants near North Palm Springs

“We stopped by Jalisco’s this morning for brunch and it ended up being such a great experience! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, friendly smile and told we could sit anywhere. The vibe was welcoming right from the start.
I ordered the cucumber lemonade and OMG — highly recommend! Super refreshing, crisp, and delicious. For food, we got the chilaquiles and the nachos (as pictured), and both were packed with flavor and the perfect amount of spice.
The place stayed busy the whole time we were there — even a local sheriff’s deputy came in, which to me says a LOT. You know they’re picky about where they eat, so that’s when you know the food is good!
If you’re visiting the area or just passing through, Jalisco’s is a must-stop. Friendly service, great food, and an overall awesome vibe. Definitely going back!“

“Our meal at Maleza was the best dining out experience that we've had in a long time. Our server Anthony was fabulous, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. All of the courses were outstanding and unique, and the mezcal old fashioned was a great take on a classic. The meals are generous and flavors delicious. A must try restaurant in Palm Springs!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“The atmosphere takes you to a village in Mexico. The food is authentic. Love the nachos. Pleasant wait staff.“

“Great neighborhood hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant behind CVS on Vista Chino and Landau Blvd.“

“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.“

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

“place is clean/spotless. staff are super friendly. food was great. Will be back“

“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!!!“

“Everything we ordered came hot and well prepared. Service excellent. Margarita drinks also very good.“

“Food & service is amazing. Now a favorite of my friends yummy😋“

“The best food ever for Mexican food“

“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!“

“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.“

“We eat here frequently. We love it.“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“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“

“Bring Rubio’s to Dallas, TX!“

“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“

“Good food I love the barbacoa yum 😋“

“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. 🌮🐟🍤“

“So good!! My husband grew up in a palm Springs and we have been enjoying date shakes for 40 years together and have tried them all. The date shakes here are the real deal. They are the only one that uses real dates and ice cream. Not date flakes or ice milk. The pastrami sandwich is so good also and enjoy the peaceful patio. If you see the bus there come back later. It’s a small family store and can get busy“

“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 best in town I highly recomend best birria ever“

“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.“

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

“Great. Food love the drink.“

“Their salsa was good! Homemade tortilla chips!“

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

“I had low expectations, but the fish taco was extraordinary. Generally, casino food court food (Pechanga, Caesar's Palace, Venetian) is mediocre at best. I ordered a fish taco. The fish was not battered and deep fried. No ... pan fried and not overcooked as is often the base. Well presented as well.“

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