50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Thousand Palms

“excelente servicio y rapidez“

“Goody's is great. I've never eaten anything off the menu that I didn't like. There's multiple Goody's across the valley, this one happens to be across the street from the Flying J truck stop and makes it convenient for drivers to whom I would say, I would highly recommend eating there before tanking up on the fast food joints that are just down the street. Breakfast, lunch or dinner there's something for everybody and they serve it all, all day long.“

“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!!!“

“This place is so good......“

“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“

“My partner and I ordered 12 tacos and overall enjoyed the experience. The meat tasted fresh and was topped simply with cilantro and onions, the way authentic street tacos should be. My partner especially enjoyed the tacos, and while I thought they were good overall, I found some of the meats a little underseasoned for my taste.

The chicken taco had a fair amount of gristle that hadn’t been trimmed properly, but the sausage, pork, and steak tacos were all enjoyable. As others have mentioned, the salsa was very watery and had an unusual sweetness that wasn’t really to our liking, although the verde sauce was quite good.

The service was excellent—friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The atmosphere is that of a small traditional taco shop and felt authentic, although it doesn’t have much character or ambiance.

Overall, the tacos were fresh and the service was great. Prices were reasonable, although the tacos were a bit on the smaller side. We were a just bit surprised that all of the sauces and chips were charged as extras but maybe thats normal in this area. We did appreciate the lemon wedges and radishes though.“

“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.“

“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. I don't remember the name of the dishes we tried but the pin wheel shrimp and the pork Fajitas are just incredible. If you're in Palm Desert you have to try Guillmores!!! Definitely worth the trip“

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

“Best enchilada I've ever had. All his stuff is made from scratch not using canned ingredients makes a big difference. I can't wait for them to open back up soon!“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere, wonderful service & fantastic food!“

“place is clean/spotless. staff are super friendly. food was great. Will be back“

“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.“

“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.“

“Solid on all accounts! Came here for the first time tonite and enjoyed the experience. My Patron margarita tasted good and I especially liked the glass rim lined 50/50 with salt and tahine. My chicken taco salad was also yummy. Servers were very pleasant.“

“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!!!“

“Had Mexican food at other places but this place is has to be my top 3. Their beef got a smoky charcoal flavor which I absolutely love. Carne asada fries and beef burrito was what I ordered with everything on it, highly recommended! Their hot sauce is actually spicy too! Good portions and great flavor with fair prices! Going back to try more tomorrow while I’m down here!“

“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!!“

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

“Nachos, shrimp cocktail are excellent. We loved all of the food and the margaritas! Friendly people. Good service.“

“Los Primos

Total sleeper—easy to overlook, but worth not missing. Whether it’s a solid entrée like the fish or chicken, the birria, or even the ahi salad, everything comes out well-executed and balanced. Not trying to be trendy, just consistently good across the board.

Quiet spot, strong menu, and better than you’d expect. Definitely one to have in the rotation. I’ve only hit them up for dinner, but I can only imagine how great breakfast is here as well.“
