19 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“

“My husband and I just had a wonderful dinner at Guillermo’s and experienced the best freshly made authentic Mexican food. The guacamole was amazing and the salsa was perfectly made. The service was friendly, welcoming and timely. I would highly recommend this restaurant and plan to go there often while we are in town.“

“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 !!!!!!“

“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.“

“Best Mexican food in the desert the fajitas trio or any of the combination plates. Best margaritas on this side of the border.“

“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!“

“Great place, great food and great service“

“I came down with the flu recently which meant I could keep nothing down for 5 days. It was miserable! As I started to recover I couldn't think of anything to eat that didn't sound atrocious. My husband listed a lot of foods and I agreed to tacos. We've never been to this restaurant but my husband was able to get delivery so it was an easy choice. I swear that taco plate with rice & beans brought me back to life! They were the kind of tacos I loved from back in L.A.'s Lincoln Heights neighborhood - with perfectly cooked chicken and a big splash of cheese, and the rice & beans could not be beaten. I was in heaven! I have since gone back several times to pick up in person. The restaurant is humble and clean, exactly the way I prefer them to be. Very kind staff and when you check out for pickup, their machine does not ask you for a tip. I know that's a little thing, but it is SO appreciated! I feel more inclined to tip when it's not forced on you for a pickup order.“

“I really love this place, love their food, but everytime I use delivery I am missing food. I use my reward points but never get the actual food redeemed. Last order was $38 and I was missing dessert, one drink, side order of chips and two side dips…called and no one answers phone. I won’t be doing this again, unfortunately, never once has my order been complete.“
