“Decent enough, I only did a quick breakfast drive through but people were very nice, egg ham and cheese was good, not your McDonalds type at all, it’s a real egg ham and biscuits, biscuit was phenomenal, hash browns are actually, lol ,hash brown like a breakfast portion, I wasn’t expecting that at all drive through.“

“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“

“lo mejor en platillos mexicanos 😋“

“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!“

“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!“

“First time at El Ranchito PD. Went for a quick lunch and left very satisfied. Ordered a Cali Burrito and a Al Pastor Torta. Both were delicious and the food was a good portion. For a drink I had the best horchata I've had in a while. Highly recommend, thank you for the excellent experience.“

“Authentic... It's what defines this place. The food is real Mexican food, it's an small family restaurant run by two brothers and they have unique plates and flavors ... The best mole and cafe de Hoya in the whole valley don't leave with out trying the mole ... It's to die for overall a great taste for your buds.“

“Increíble comida,🥘 muy rico sazón 😋“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“An absolute hidden gem!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the most friendly service from Marilyn!!!

She made us feel right at home and taken care of the entire time.

The food was incredible! The chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful.

I ordered Baja Street Tacos and they were absolutely delicious, with the chicken being my favorite.

My partner had the shredded chicken quesadilla and couldn’t stop raving about how good it was.

The flavors here are authentic, the ingredients are fresh, and you can truly taste the love and care in every dish.

The horchata was also perfection- smooth, sweet, and refreshing.

This spot is local, authentic, and a must-visit for anyone who loves Mexican food.

We left so happy and satisfied! Definitely one of the best finds around!“

“Great atmosphere, wonderful service & fantastic food!“

“The mole enchiladas were TO DIE FOR! I cook mole and this recipe has me stumped, the presentation is also 10/10 The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The chips and salsa were excellent as well and I had the Jamaica agua fresca and it’s was just sweet enough any sweeter or diluted would be too much!!! Definitely coming back!!!“

“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.“

“Our server recommended the Carnitas... They were outstanding and the perfect amount of food. We enjoyed a Guillermo margarita which was fabulous. We also really like the warm salsa. We will definitely be back, probably for the delicious carnitas!“

“Great service! Very friendly staff and the food is really good! Prices are very reasonable as well! Highly recommend trying this cafe!“

“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 !!!!!!“

“Stumbled across this restaurant and what a find, firstly great friendly staff and fabulous food. Will be back“

“Table chips and salsa are really good. My wife ordered a medium house margarita and I ordered a medium vintage margarita. The vintage is $9.00 more and we both honestly couldn't tell the difference. I will say I was shocked how big the medium margarita is! For appetizer we ordered macho nachos with beef... Yum! For our meal we shared a chimichanga burrito which was also really good. I would definitely recommend this place for great Mexican food. Staff were all very friendly as well.“

“Had the most incredible meal at this restaurant has definitely become my favorite. You have to try this restaurant out it will become your favorite as well.“

“Good chimichanga.

I had the Chimichanga, with shredded beef. The beef was tasty. I didn't pay.attention when ordering, that it came with a sauce on top. The reason I like chimichanga is for the crunchy/crispy shell. The sauce was good, just changed the way I expected a chimichanga to taste (textually). Don't get me wrong, it was good, but next time I'll get it without the sauce on top and make it great.

The staff was friendly and fast. We got seated right away, ordered taken shortly after being seated, and food arrived not too long after that.

Tha ambiance of this place it nice, typical stip-mall building, basic Mexican restaurant seating and tables.“

“Great food & fun atmosphere! Staff is friendly & they make the very best Margaritas!“

“Super bomb!! My whole family loves this place. The family that owns this little spot are amazing. The food is soooo good! One of the best in Cathedral City. U can’t beat their food and their prices! The burrito n tacos are a major must try! I believe they have menudo n birria on certain days of the week also.“

“Nachos with Steak with the beans under all the chips tasted really good... Campechana was just right... Piña a la parrilla was badas.. cooked good... Nothing was burned.. 1st time at Mariachi and definitely recommend...“

“Staff are very friendly. They were clear about what my choices were. Everything was remarkably clean I only complained as the food is too salty That said I ordered two chicken tacos and maybe I got four give me four tacos impact to so much that it overflowed into other two“

“The food and service at Tortillas Restaurant is amazing!! 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!“

“Great food and a staple in our little artists/makers community. Junior is an amazing human, and this place is not to be missed. 10/10.“
