Food was great but the service was awful. Our server was very nice but completely inattentive. Being a server is more than taking an order. After sitting for a very long time after being done, we finally asked another employee for the check. Our server never came back after she took the order & brought the drinks.

We love Casa Mendoza! We have been going to the one in old Town la Quinta. We cant wait to try the new location. They have the best chips and salsa. my husband always goes home with a 32 oz. container of it. The pork chile verde is very good as well as the tostada salad. You cant get a bad meal! The service is always friendly and quick.

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 or for lunch the following day compared to other places that make 3+ days worth. It's like that perfect Texas brisket. Crunchy parts and juicy parts.
Also good, their Diablo sauce if you like spicy and the margaritas if you like tequila.

Worst Mexican restaurant ever! The shrimp was not fresh and the chimichangas were too oily!

Best green sauce I have had in a long time! Grew up in San Diego CA and great reminder of authentic Mexican.

Very disappointing, 3 of our 4 meals were wrong. The mole tasted poor and burned. Just expected much better. Short staffed.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The chips and salsa provided are really good. The salsa has a nice kick to it. We had the enchiladas Rojas and the Berthas fresco salad with fish. The enchiladas were terrific and a good portion. Wish the red sauce was a bit spicier though. The salad was good but previous pictures showed a lot more avocado so was a bit disappointed in that. The enchiladas were definitely the better of two. Will be back for sure!
First time going and we did take out . The food was excellent very flavorful and very nice staff. Next time we will definitely eat there to get that experience too .

My experience was disappointing. When ordering, I asked my waiter if I could get my meat well done because I’m pregnant and cannot eat undercooked meat. Well, upon receiving the plate, it’s like I was served the total opposite. The meat was pink & cold! I didn’t touch the plate, and the server made no effort to fix the issue or offer an alternative. I had told her if she could take the plate back & she completely ignored what I said & charged me the plate. I thought that showed a lack of basic customer care & was not happy.

Maybe I just wasn't in the mood. I had enchiladas and they were good, the flavor was okay and portions were good, perhaps I was expecting more in my head .

Our new fav Mexican restaurant. Food is delicious, chips are just right, and the salsa - wow, lots of flavor, not too hot - with a nice 'after glow'. Stopped by 3 times in the past 3 weeks. This place should be on your list of go-to restaurants.
