“I have been to the Sedona location and the Palm Desert location is even far superior. The taste, presentation and service were all exceptional... especially given that they have only been open for three weeks. The Mole Enchilada was the best I have ever had. Decor was fresh, modern, open, airy and welcoming. Nice bar to sit at as well. I will be coming back many times. Bob K Palm Desert“

“Perfect joint to grab some drinks and great Mexican cuisine. They have a full bar and a nice big menu of food. We got the Chilaquilas Con Carne Asada with eggs over medium and red and green salsa. It had the perfect spice and was an extremely big portion. The carne was tender and not chewy. The eggs were also perfectly done. We also tried a veggie omlete that was also cooked to perfection. Fluffy egg, not dry and tasty fresh veggies with fresh slices of avocado. Served with rice and beans that are fresh and delicious. My buddy ordered two Michelada's with Modelo and loved them!! Our waitress was also SUPER friendly and took care of us. Will be back again soon.????

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie omlete.“

I paid $9 for 3 tacos and a regular size Horchata not including tip and I was stuffed and so happy I fell into a food coma after. Definitely will be back! Also a easy going environment.“

“We've eaten here before and it was pretty good. This time was the exception. Ordered a pork burrito and the inside was cold...COLD. Sent it back and within a few minutes it reappeared and again COLD inside. 3 times a charm...but as hot as it should be. One other issue is that the burrito came with NO sauce which left the dinner dry. Also...to get rice/beans was an additional $5. Not sure what the manager is thinking with price issues...but will not be going back until we hear their dinners are much better...and pricing in line.“
