34 Best Mexican Restaurants in Palm Springs

“Our meal at Maleza was the best dining out experience that we've had in a long time. Our server Anthony was fabulous, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. All of the courses were outstanding and unique, and the mezcal old fashioned was a great take on a classic. The meals are generous and flavors delicious. A must try restaurant in Palm Springs!“

“Sat outside around 9 tonight and had wonderful service. Food was excellent and the cocktails were delicious. Margarita flight was the perfect choice. 10/10 would recommend“

“I apologize but I have been going to get food at this location ever since they opened. I should have given a review from the start, but I wanted to wait until I truly experienced all of what they have to offer. All I have to say is, AMAZING. Everything from their carnitas tacos to carne asada nachos is the best. I can say I even drink their hot sauce lol. You want food that gives every bang for the buck, you need to go here. They are such wonderful people to deal with, which makes it even better.“

“The atmosphere takes you to a village in Mexico. The food is authentic. Love the nachos. Pleasant wait staff.“

“Food is great as well as the prices. Margarita are good as well. I will definitely be coming back. I’ve been here four or five times now. The waiter didn’t once ask me once how my meal was. Nor did he offer dessert. The gentleman refilling my water, salsa, and chips was awesome though. Maybe I happen to miss it each time I’m but I really would like to hear some mariachi or other types of traditional Mexican music whether live or recorded. This is a Mexican restaurant after all. Again, I definitely plan on coming back.“

“I’m blown away! This food should be Michelin recommended. I’ve lived in California for over a decade and been to Mexico multiple times - and these may be the best fish and shrimp tacos that I’ve ever had in my entire life. And our server was truly the sweetest person in the world.“

“Great. Food love the drink.“

“This is our go to place in Palm Desert!“

“Wow wow wow! Stumbled on this taco joint a couple of nights ago on Door Dash late night. And much to our surprise it was only a few minutes down the road so we jumped in the car and made our way to this unassuming taco truck. The gal was so sweet and helpful with making choices and recommendations for me. Walked away with 7 tacos to share, and they were all so bomb that I came back to order more the next night.Will make this stop every time I visit Palm Springs. And make sure you try all the sauces/salsas. They are all delicious. Particularly the second hottest red salsa and the creamy green cilantro.We ordered the kimchi, wasabi, grilled shrimp and chimichurri tacos. Plus some asada and pastor street tacos. All would recommend! Thank you for being so awesome and nice!

Parking: Loads of parking.“

“Their salsa was good! Homemade tortilla chips!“

“Wow!! Absolutely amazing restaurant and bar! Flew in late last night and wanted a fun place with atmosphere to have appetizers and drinks. This was the perfect place!! Outdoor or indoor patio with mist kept is cool and refreshed. Loved the dim lighting and the modern decor! So inviting and relaxing. Fresh flowers on the tables and comfortable chairs. Very good service ! Excellent food! Tasty drinks that were visually appealing!! I’ll definitely go back ! Julio The manager greeted us and chatted with us and made us feel so welcome!! Our waiter was Jonathan was very friendly and attentive . This place is a gem and in the perfect location downtown!“

“This place is great it is so good and price is great it pretty clean and not to pricy overall rating 4.7“

“Great Guacamole! Wish they had extra lime salt for sale [sometimes not enough on chips]! Love the choices as I need Vegetarian- the vegies are a bit spicy for me, but good Salad! I always get my Guac on the side & they've gotten better about not charging extra, as Veg. comes w/guac! Healthy choices 👌“

“I recently discovered this restaurant chain. I have to say, every time I come here, it's always for the same thing; Asada Quesadilla. I'm a quesadilla freak, and their carne asada quesadilla is a 9/10 for me. Their menu is very large, but Im only here for the quesadilla. Occasionally I also order a large horchata. I've never had a bad experience here.“

“🌯🔥 Craving something unforgettable?
Hands down, the San Felipe Burrito is a must-try! 🌟 Pair it with the San Felipe Fries for the ultimate combo, and don’t skip the salsas—they’ll take your taste buds to the next level. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! 😋“

“We’re the folks behind Dining with the Davids, and part of what we do is bring a group of friends (our “Taste Buds”) to restaurants to try a wide range of the menu and see what really stands out.

We did exactly that here and ordered across the board — tacos, birria, burritos, the works. The fish tacos were crispy and well-balanced, the birria was rich and comforting (both the tacos and the noodle bowl were solid), and the burritos were filling and flavorful, especially the carne asada, al pastor, and California burrito.

What stood out most was how consistent everything was, especially for the price. This place isn’t trying to be fancy — it’s just good, satisfying food done right. It’s one of those places you might drive past without thinking twice, but it’s absolutely worth stopping in.

We left full, happy, and already talking about what we’d order next time. Tell them “The David’s” sent you.“

“My name is juan zetina and I came to eat at taco bell and got supreme lux box and Damien A and his crew members did an awesome job. Damien A I ask him if he had change for 100 bill and I was really hoping he did because I was hungry and he said with out hesitation that let me get change from the back and I'll be right back and so he sure did what he said and gave me change back . I was grateful to be able to eat and have something in my stomach. Thank you 😊 🙏. God bless you guys“

“Came here the other night and they accidentally forgot one item and when I called to fix the situation manager Jose was extremely kind and understanding. When I went to pick up my missing item the young girl at the window and her coworkers were all amazing and very nice to me. Hope their boss sees this and knows they have good workers!!! Bless them all and good luck to everyone on the team“

“Got home and was missing a burger gave them a call and the two ladies working the joint were perfecti immidiately went to pick it up 2 blocks away and it had just been cooked. Thank you so much Jessica and Lara!!! But they are always kind and professional“
