17 Best Mexican Restaurants in Palm Desert

“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“

“lo mejor en platillos mexicanos 😋“

“Exceptional food. I have much love for this place and try to go once a week. One day I may try something else but the spinach and mushrooms enchiladas are to die for. So very good and consistent.“

“Great place, great food and great service“

“We were here in Palm Desert for a competition and one of our parents recommended we try this spot. Great margaritas and absolutely the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. I don't remember the name of the dishes we tried but the pin wheel shrimp and the pork Fajitas are just incredible. If you're in Palm Desert you have to try Guillmores!!! Definitely worth the trip“

“First time at El Ranchito PD. Went for a quick lunch and left very satisfied. Ordered a Cali Burrito and a Al Pastor Torta. Both were delicious and the food was a good portion. For a drink I had the best horchata I've had in a while. Highly recommend, thank you for the excellent experience.“

“Best enchilada I've ever had. All his stuff is made from scratch not using canned ingredients makes a big difference. I can't wait for them to open back up soon!“

“Great service! Very friendly staff and the food is really good! Prices are very reasonable as well! Highly recommend trying this cafe!“

“El Rodeo is a hidden gem on San Pablo in Palm Desert. We had the chilaquiles, verde omelet, tostada carnitas, and enchiladas — all fresh and delicious. The carnitas were especially tender and juicy. Great margaritas, good beer and wine selection, and super friendly and helpful staff. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This was a delightful find for our family of vegetarians and carnivores alike. Coming for lunch, the variety to choose from was surprising. A lasting impression was The Primo Bowl which had a delicious dressing that wasn't overpowering. The guacamole was a thumbs up from my husband. The beans I ordered came in a tortilla bowl in which squeezing lime on it was a delightful surprise and flavor for my aunt. Be sure to try the corn dip. That was wonderful and unusual to my family. Everything was obviously fresh and created for a unique twist to make Mexican Food exciting again.“

“Great food & fun atmosphere! Staff is friendly & they make the very best Margaritas!“

“muy deliciosa comida y un ambiente agradable !!!!!!“

“DO NOT GO IF YOU WANT TO HAVE GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. We went to have dinner my friend and I, we haven't seen each other in awhile. We ordered and ate and then chatted for a bit. We asked for salsa before we got our food, had to ask a couple times but eventually got it. They never refilled our waters. We asked for 2 boxes but just got 1. But then we chatted for a little. Watching to make sure there were tables for people and not staying long. Towards when we were getting ready to leave on our own, but also having a conversation 3 different servers came up and aggressively asked if we wanted anything more. One of them hastily reaching over us to grab our knives off the table smiling like someone trying to hide their hatred or something. This was so rude that a table across from us said "time to leave. Take the hint." So neededless to say, if you want am environment where you can eat and chat this place is not for you. If you want your servers to actually be friendly, this place is not for you. It's one thing to politely ask someone if they are done but it's another thing to be so rude that other customers then decide its OK to ridicule and be rude to you because the server was. So if you want to eat around people who are actually decent humans, this place is not for you.“

“I don’t have enough wonderful words to describe our amazing experience at Flor de Jalisco!! The food is cooked to perfection, the flavors are off the chart, and the service is outstanding!! �����“

“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.“

“Great place, great food and great service“

“We had a terrific lunch here; excellent fish tacos! Comfy, authentic atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. The chips (made on-site) were the best we'd ever had; so fresh and crunchy that we ordered a bag to go, too! I highly recommend this Cucina!“
