50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Rancho Mirage

“Small friendly place. Lots of great dishes beyond the standard Mexicali or Texmex fair.

Tried the daily special, mole enchiladas. Smelled just like a chocolate churro. Great.

Salsa had good flavor but could be a little spicier.“

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

“Food is always high quality and terrific! Best salsa and tableside guacamole anywhere. Norma was an excellent server and represents the best of Las Casuelas Nuevas - personable, helpful and charming!“

“I had low expectations, but the fish taco was extraordinary. Generally, casino food court food (Pechanga, Caesar's Palace, Venetian) is mediocre at best. I ordered a fish taco. The fish was not battered and deep fried. No ... pan fried and not overcooked as is often the base. Well presented as well.“

“Omg by far the best burgers and beers I have been too Kimberly was our server and she was great in every aspect thank you so much and shout out to the manager you have a great staff very welcoming and very attentive….. the food was so delicious“

“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.“

“Great food and drinks..Relaxed vibe and atmosphere. Tacquitos Dorado and Tacos LA Paz were excellent...We'll be back!!!“

“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“

“If you're looking for a casual place for tacos & burritos The Super Taco place on highway 111 by Del Taco in Cathedral City is great! Went there for lunch today and ordered a carne asada taco with the works and a chicken hard shell taco. Both filled with tons of delicious meat and fixings. Price was less than $15. Cute place and a great patio in the back that would work well for a group of maybe 40+! I’ll be going back again!“

“Dinner was amazing! Margaritas are great too!“

“Chips are made fresh, salsa is fresh as well... I do not care for their version of guacamole. Its more like a creamy/thick avocado sauce. Its good, just not guacamole.

The birria tacos were a home run.

The service was absolutely on point..

FYI, No real appetizer section on the menu, just main dishes...

I wish they had a hot salsa option for those that want heat.

I will be back soon.“

“Always enjoy everything about Guillermo's. The food, ambience and visiting with Guillermo himself. As regulars there, we truly appreciate the warm welcome when we arrive. Highly recommended Guillermo's as one of the best restaurants in the valley.“

“Perfect joint to grab some drinks and great Mexican cuisine. They have a full bar and a nice big menu of food. We got the Chilaquilas Con Carne Asada with eggs over medium and red and green salsa. It had the perfect spice and was an extremely big portion. The carne was tender and not chewy. The eggs were also perfectly done. We also tried a veggie omlete that was also cooked to perfection. Fluffy egg, not dry and tasty fresh veggies with fresh slices of avocado. Served with rice and beans that are fresh and delicious. My buddy ordered two Michelada's with Modelo and loved them!! Our waitress was also SUPER friendly and took care of us. Will be back again soon.????

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie omlete.“

“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.“

“To go- We had Menudo and it is so good! So tasty with cilantro, lime, chili, oregano on the side with delicious yellow corn tortillas! This place is a gem! Looking forward to trying mostly everything, lol.“
