50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Rancho Mirage

“Wonderful food, relaxed fun vibe. Good for lunch, families or a casual date. so glad we stopped here! Our server, Candy, was great! She recommended some wonderful options for us. The tilapia fillet was cooked to perfection and was delicious with the garlic butter, we also had the shrimp ceviche as an appetizer instead of a meal. Great place!“

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

“Great atmosphere, wonderful service & fantastic food!“

“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.“

“True to its name, they serve burgers and beers along with quite a big menu they have plenty of options to choose from. Portions are a good size and definitely match the price. Lots of tvs playing anything you can think of along with trivia which my party quite enjoyed. Desert was great.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Great service, great food, our bartender Ilda was amazing! highly recommend“

“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.“

“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.

“Great neighborhood hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant behind CVS on Vista Chino and Landau Blvd.“

“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.“

“Everything we ordered came hot and well prepared. Service excellent. Margarita drinks also very good.“

“We live full time in the area. This is our go to place for Mexican food. They are friendly, fast and the food is delicious. It is not a fancy place which is what we like about it. Delicious Chili Verde, Fajitas, burritos, etc.
Parking is in front or you may have to park down the street a bit. We'll worth it.“

I had the Chile Relleno with cheese (vegetarian options available, which was super nice!) and my husband had the Enchiladas de Mole with chicken - and both were delicious! The mole sauce is definitely of 5-star quality! It was all so fresh and authentic, with the foods being beautifully presented on the plates. I also highly recommend the horchata drinks there too!“
