“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“

“An absolute hidden gem!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the most friendly service from Marilyn!!!

She made us feel right at home and taken care of the entire time.

The food was incredible! The chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful.

I ordered Baja Street Tacos and they were absolutely delicious, with the chicken being my favorite.

My partner had the shredded chicken quesadilla and couldn’t stop raving about how good it was.

The flavors here are authentic, the ingredients are fresh, and you can truly taste the love and care in every dish.

The horchata was also perfection- smooth, sweet, and refreshing.

This spot is local, authentic, and a must-visit for anyone who loves Mexican food.

We left so happy and satisfied! Definitely one of the best finds around!“

“Tucked into a non-descript shopping plaza next to an upscale grocery store, this place was relatively conveniently located to the Westin resort.

The menu is classic Mexican with typical dishes of enchiladas, tamales, tacos, rellanos, and more. The food is solid. Service is quick and efficient. Plenty of choices for Mexican enthusiasts as well as burgers and fries for those not wanting rice and beans.“
