34 Best Mexican Restaurants in Palm Springs

“Real nice Mexican food. Great ambiance. Good service. Pretty good food. I say this because one way I rank Mexican restaurants is as follows: a) the chips and salsa, b) refried beans and c) rice. Why? Because these are staples of most dishes and the quality matters. We have a variety of dishes. Two shown here are a mole dish and the other a taco/fish. We all enjoyed our lunch. Recommend it.“

“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“

“This was such a cute spot. Stopped in for a quiet lunch on Sunday around 2:00 pm. Everywhere on the main drag was so busy and chaotic. The staff was welcoming and polite and food was great! Not too big or heavy for the heat. The interior atmosphere was beautiful too!“

“Favorite Mexican food in Palm Springs. Love the margaritas, food and service. Mostly locals. We know the best places.“

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

“Hoja Blanca offers the most creative and delicious foods. I’ve tried almost every item of the menu and I’ve never been disappointed. The shishitos and oyster tacos are amazing and I always have to order them. You all need to go check them out!“

“1st try here and definitely saved on my google map for Palm Springs. Traditional and Creative margaritas and good food with friendly service.
Tucked inside the smoke tree mall which lends to shaded area on a 108 degree day.
Definitely recommend and will return.“

“Very fresh made from scratch, large portions and tasty. Very friendly staff!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service“

“I totally enjoyed my recent and a previous dinner occasion at La Perlita. Service was friendly and efficient, from being greeted through departure after enjoying a delicious meal. Portions were just right in size, not too little or too much. I had the pollo asado and was very satisfied.“

“We heard great things. We were disappointed, even though the food was fine, everything came ala cart. Shrimp burrito had no sides, not even sour cream or pico. They don’t serve alcohol, so no beer or margaritas, though I hear you can eat outside on the patio at the restaurant next door and she will bring your food over. Just not what we were expecting. The menus are old and just had a note at the bottom that the prices have gone up, but even the check didn’t show actual prices, just a total at the bottom. Won’t likely return.“

“Dinner was amazing! Margaritas are great too!“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“The best Mexican food in town and service is phenomenal a must in Palm Springs to visit“

“Great. Food love the drink.“

“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.“

“The restaurant's decor and ambience are full of Mexican style, perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends. The outdoor seating area is particularly popular, especially in warm weather“

“Went there by chance today and it was definitely the best restaurant I have been to here. It's a little family owned establishment and the staff are lovely as can be. I cannot emphasize that enough. They were just genuinely nice people and very accommodating of my service dog. The food was delicious, portions were excellent, and price was very reasonable! 10/10, if I were a local, this would be a weekly pilgrimage. I rarely feel compelled to write a review but this little place is a gem.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian burrito, cheese quesadilla“

“Their salsa was good! Homemade tortilla chips!“

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

“It had been a number of years since I visited Rubio's. I was happy to see that the food was still very good and the only thing is the size of the tacos was the same but sadly not as much shrimp. I did expect a little more considering the price of nearly $10 for the two tacos. But I do know that with inflation and higher costs for wages that restaurants have to do what they can do to survive. I would still recommend Rubio's to anyone that wants a good shrimp taco or a good fish taco in many other options as well

Kid-friendliness: I noticed that there were two high chairs available

Wheelchair accessibility: There was plenty of room for wheelchairs inside and also on the patio would have also been an easy arrival for wheelchairs as it was a large gate open to enter that way“

“Very good place to eat and what more after leaving a club, the guy who was the cashier took great care of us, he had good energy. The food was very good, we ordered carne asada fries, California burrito, asada burrito, very informed, variety of sauces, etc. the desserts were delicious.
By the way, the workers are very honest, my wife forgot her bag, and they took care of it and delivered it to us, let's hope that good gesture doesn't end. So more than 100% recommended“

“Workers act like they don't want you there. Also they don't do full scoops at all and will put as little as possible if you ask for extra. I tried to get a bit of extra rice and I got have a scoop after asking 2 separate times. This is a regular problem for this location and the reason why I'm going to a different place from now on. Update: went back and they charged me $3 extra for the exact same order. Absolutely will never come back to this place. The workers need to be trained better or something“

“Their crunchy taco shells are horrible. You ever taste a piece of cardboard as a child? That's exactly what it tasted like...with no seasoning at all...and felt like i was biting into plastic. The meat inside the taco and beans and rice were delicious. The staff is excellent. I'll probably give it another try. Just won't order anything with a hard tortilla shell again“

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

“Here's a draft review you can customize for Baja Springs:
Baja Springs
We recently ordered catering from Baja Springs for a baby shower and were very impressed. The food was delicious and authentic, and it was a much better value than hiring a taco stand. Everything arrived hot and fresh, and our guests raved about the quality. We enjoyed it so much that we went back to the restaurant a few days later, and the food was just as good. I highly recommend Baja Springs for anyone looking for delicious and authentic Mexican food.“

“It’s also a great little market with surprising items like Patak’s Lime Pickle and fried chilis in oil. They have great burritos. Taco Tuesday is a crow pleaser.“

“Absolutely the cleanest fast food restaurant I've ever been to. With the recent economy and price increase die to salary increase to fast food restaurant workers I had questioned why so many places failed to offer a clean place where food is delivered to the customer as ordered. Not this place...Liz one of the managers is very nice and you can tell she stays on top of her game. The bathroom was exceptionally cleaned. My husband always stops here on his commute to or from work as he commutes over an hour to work. He recommends this place for the clean restrooms, friendly attentive service and and fast delivery or exactly what you ordered to eat. The staff definitely deserves another pay raise????? great job and keep up the good work? Corporate should definitely have the rest of their restaurants learn from this fine establishment.

Vegetarian options: You can choose ingredients for your selections and has plenty to choose from

Kid-friendliness: The staff is very friendly, kind and also bilingual!“

“Food is always made to order and fresh ingredients.

Vegetarian options: It's a mexican restaurant so while they do offer some vegetarian selection, don't expect and youll be fine.

Parking: The lot is not huge but I've never had an issue finding a parking spot.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, just please ensure they are not running around the camp sites alone

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is fully accessible, including the reataur“
