Live band in this very large restaurant. Unusual & creative food not available anywhere else in the valley. Full bar and many great appetizers. I highly recommend the Cuban caprisse. Very unique. The ahi tuna preparation & sauce is great as an entree along with a good Chardonnay. The chicken marsala is also a treat. Always fun to go to Babaloo's.

What a pleasant surprise! Huge restaurant inside and a quaint outdoor patio. Service was spectacular, as well as our El Cubano sandwich. Loved our experience here and would definitely return next time we come to Palm Springs!

Great service, fun band and a great bar. I just didn't like what I ordered. It wasn't their fault. I'd go back.

Our server Brandon was the best. Totally enjoyed the band and food. Looking forward to going again soon.
Opentable Diner
Food is good, plentiful and interesting dishes. Wife had ahi rice. Ahi was fresh and the sauce was excellent. I had the Cuban sandwich. Absolutely excellent. There was live entertainment, 60's rock music. The volume was not too loud the band was pleasant, the vocals were difficult to hear as the sound system was not well balanced. Overall we will go back.

A great visit on Saturday night. Our service was very personal and attentive. Impressive with a live band going with hits from the 60's & 70's. Lots of fun for dancing and not too loud for the club. Good wine and craft beer selections. Our meals were excellent. Well cooked with a combination of wood fired Cuban flavors. We ordered the sampler special, the ahi appetizer, the Babaloo salad, & the chicken marsala. Good presentation, good flavors, and timely service. Absolutely nothing to improve. Comfortable booths and lots of space make Babaloos a regular visit spot.

I arrived at 7:10 for. 7:15 reservation. Hostess asked if we could wait at the bar for 10 minutes while they got the table ready. After almost an hour at the bar I told my wife I think they have forgotten us . She went to the hostess and yes they had forgotten they sent us to bar. It took about 10 more minutes to get a table. Then literary no one ever showed up to wait on us. I asked a server if they could find our waiter and he never returned. Then I approached the hostess and asked if anybody was going to wait on us..... she shrugged , I got my wife and left.

The food was delicious and good amount too. I went there late and they were about to close but they still took my order and I was able to bring some food for my family late night. It was take out order but food temperature was still hot and lamb chops were juicy and flavorful. Shrimp fried was my least favorite however it was still good . Chicken aji de gallina was creamy as expected.

Disappointed. We were expecting a fun restaurant with Latin music. The place was very quiet On a Friday night. Mojitos were very good,food tasty. Service lacked. Would not go back.
