Great food & fun atmosphere! Staff is friendly & they make the very best Margaritas!
Been here many times. Probably should have left a review sooner. Bottom line: It's legit. There's many good Mexican places in Palm Desert. This one is in the top contenders. It has a popular original location in La Quinta but the Palm Desert location is less busy for now.
It's great for pre-Chella, before or after a day at the BNP Paribas Open or AMEX golf tournament. Or playing a round or set.
What to get: carnitas. Ask the bartender and/or chef...they make it daily...read full review

First experience at the Palm Desert location and it’s such a great space for big parties or just hanging at the bar! If you haven’t found your Margarita spot, this is a good starting point. The other bartenders and hospitality peeps eat & drink at Casa Mendoza, so you know it’s good! (Order the Carne Asada Plate and a Jalapeno Cucumber Skinny Marg - thank me later). Also ask for bartender Oscar! He’s the reason I’m writing this review.
