“excelente servicio y rapidez“

“I just flew in from Texas and brought with me an appetite that only Goody's Cafe could satisfy! With breakfast served all day, I had no worries of what my meal was going to be when I arrived around 11amPST at this location. Scratch made breakfast is what was on for me so I had their over easy eggs, 3 of them, with 4 slices of bacon and their delicious hash browns and topped it off with sour dough toast and unlimited coffee! I was too hungry to take an image but take my word for it...it was dang good! With 4 locations in the area, give this wonderful gem of a restaurant a try.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Phenomenal al pastor and chorizo tacos! Also great rice and beans (super flavorful). Going the carne asada and chicken to be fine, but made better with copious salsa.

Above all, the service was fantastic - great humans, very kind, quick service. A great simple clean dining room to complement the well prepared and tasty food.“

“El Rodeo is a hidden gem on San Pablo in Palm Desert. We had the chilaquiles, verde omelet, tostada carnitas, and enchiladas — all fresh and delicious. The carnitas were especially tender and juicy. Great margaritas, good beer and wine selection, and super friendly and helpful staff. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Good food and friendly employees great service“

“Came here on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was fairly empty but started to fill up around 6. Chips and salsa were good as were the margaritas. The service was a bit slow. I had the Mole Ranchero which was a little watery. Wife had shrimp tacos that were good.“

“Great food, great employees Great with the kids“

“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...“

“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!!!“

And to make the experience complete, clean bathrooms. This business has definitely been cared for over the years. Nothing fancy. Just good food and service.“

“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!“

“La comida deliciosa ❤️ mi restaurante favorito de comida Mexicana“

“This was a delightful find for our family of vegetarians and carnivores alike. Coming for lunch, the variety to choose from was surprising. A lasting impression was The Primo Bowl which had a delicious dressing that wasn't overpowering. The guacamole was a thumbs up from my husband. The beans I ordered came in a tortilla bowl in which squeezing lime on it was a delightful surprise and flavor for my aunt. Be sure to try the corn dip. That was wonderful and unusual to my family. Everything was obviously fresh and created for a unique twist to make Mexican Food exciting again.“
