50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Thousand Palms

“excelente servicio y rapidez“

“The ice cream here is simply outstanding. They offer an impressive variety of flavors, from classic vanilla and chocolate to unique creations like tiramisu paletas and cookie sandwiches. Each scoop was creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor. I particular loved the churro sundae, which was the perfect sweet.“

“The pork chop dinner my mom loves. I had chicken strips and onion rights and they were really good and filling. I love the home made batter.

Dietary restrictions: Being a diabetic the food choices make it so much easier to eat a good meal at a decent price. You get what you pay for finally and it's a decent serving.“

“love the taste of,Del taco!!! Del yeah!!!🌮🌮🌮“

“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“

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

“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!“

“lo mejor en platillos mexicanos 😋“

“Stopped by Elvira’s Taqueria for lunch after a notary appointment in Cathedral City. The restaurant was very clean, friendly staff and food was made fresh to order. We ordered the 3 quesa birria tacos with consommé plate. They were delicious! The meat was flavorful and shells just the right crispness. The consommé was definitely authentic and very flavorful. The salsa served with the tacos was also delicious I think maybe habanero salsa. It had just enough heat that you could still taste the flavor of the tacos. I will definitely stop by Elvira’s Taqueria next time I am in the neighborhood to try some more of the other menu items! Definitely recommend if you are looking for authentic Mexican food!“

“If you’re looking for some great Mexican food, this is the place to try! The atmosphere is amazing, the food is even better, and the service is excellent!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best Mexican food in Palm Springs and lots of healthy fresh options. Friendly staff and great service. The grilled chicken crunchy taco tacos are my favorite, shrimp tacos are terrific also. Rice and beans are very good. Enchiladas are great.“

“Mr Gonzales - we thank you for the great service and amazing authentic food!

Senior Gonzalez and the family was very friendly and welcoming and quickly made room for all 19 of us. The entire staff team was friendly with us and made sure we had everything we needed! Also it was clear his customers were repeat and he gave each attention.

We were a larger party, total of 19 of us including children, which meant Mr Gonzales had to act quickly to accommodate seating but made it work in great time!

The food?……there was nothing left!!! From the chips and salsa, guacamole, carne asada tacos, Al pastor tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, tortas, enchiladas….all very delicious and even the pickiest eaters ate everything!

The few people in our group said they were glad we decided to stay!!!!

We’ll be back!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!“

“muy deliciosa comida y un ambiente agradable !!!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Don Tacorriendo is our favorite place in the valley for Mexican food. Good prices, great selection and portions, and delicious food. Also, you can buy pints of their great salsa and refried beans to take home. Great spot!!“

“We finally made it to this restaurant for dinner. We sat on the patio and watched a beautiful sunset as we dined. We found the menu had some great selections, but we stuck with some ala carte choices as a way to sample several items. The sopa with beef, the beef taco, and tostada were excellent. The enchiladas and tamale were just average, I'd say. The salsa and chips were a winner ( not too spicy with the salsa). Great pricing and service were additional reasons to come back for more.“

“Margaritas are the best. Great selection of food.“

“The best food ever for Mexican food“

“We moved to DHS from LA and this was the first place we ate at that we actually enjoyed our food and drinks.

“I went to a lunch here with my work crew. There were around 15 of us and the service was excellent. The server did not mess anything up and everything came out pretty quickly. I got the shrimp tacos which were great. It seems like the menu is pretty focused on seafood and they had a pretty extensive selection of drinks.“
