Nydia's Mexican Kitchen

My go to restaurant in 29 Palms. Quick service and great food.

I had a shrimp burrito and it was truly one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. The rest of the family was also super happy with their dishes. Highly recommend!

Poor visibility, need a bigger sign with big bold letters like other business do, make the name stand out

Delicious kitchen

We visited this restaurant because it was located adjacent to the hotel where we were staying. It turned out to be a local favorite. Locals eat there and use it for takeout. Tourists, lucky enough to find it, score great Mexican cuisine. It was so good, we ate dinner there two nights in a row.

A burrito so good, I still think about it two years later.

Nydia’s Mexican Food isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a sacred waypoint on the pilgrimage of flavor. Two years ago, I stumbled in, hungry and dusty from the road, and emerged with what can only be described as a life-altering burrito. It was wrapped in bacon. Wrapped. In. Bacon.

You might think, “Yeah, okay, all burritos are good,” and sure, burritos are the culinary comfort blanket of mankind. But this? This burrito was memorable. Monumental. The kind of food that ruins all future food because nothing can top it. Gigantic, bursting with flavor, kissed by the bacon gods themselves.

I took that miracle with me into Joshua Tree. I hiked around Skull Rock with it like it was a sacred relic. I wandered the Cholla Cactus Garden at sunset, burrito in hand, savoring each bite like a prophet receiving divine revelation. Other hikers had granola bars. I had transcendence.

Even now, I find myself staring wistfully into the distance during meetings or while eating lesser burritos, remembering The One from Nydia’s. If you’re anywhere near 29 Palms, stop everything and go. Order the bacon-wrapped burrito. Cancel your other plans. This is the only journey that matters.

10/10. Would cross the Mojave again for that glorious beast.

Great place, good food and drink

Casual interior. Good if you want to come as you are.

Quality of the meat is super good, I've had a good amt of carne asada this is top. The tortillas are crazy good too, fluffy. Super nice ppl

This is a great place a little hard to find as it's on the hotel property. The food is fresh and tast great everything is made in house. If your tierd of the crowds, over priced crappie food and bad service take a few extra minutes and give this place a try you won't be disappointed.

Food is bomb!!! I recommend they have aguas frescas legit fresh made Mexican juices. Jamaica was fantastic. I got a asada burrito. I told Mrs Nydia I was traveling long distance to San Diego and she packed my food in a way food would not mess up on the road! Thank You! 🤲🥹

Carnita protein bowl was outstanding! Also has chips and salsa…freshly fried. Very reasonably priced and great fresh made food!

Must go if you’re outside Joshua Tree (29 palms). The food was very delicious and the service is friendly. Don’t be scared off by the location (on the side of a hotel) because we will absolutely be coming back. We were not expecting to have such good food on this trip, but we were extremely satisfied after a long day in the park.

This place is the epitome of a hidden gem. It is located in a hotel lobby so is a little hard to find. But the food is phenomenal. Stoped by on our way out to the dessert and had the carne asada burrito. The carne asada was succulent! It was so good we stopped by on our way back. Had the carnitas and it was excellent! I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Great carne asada burrito. Staff was really friendly and would definitely go back next time i was in town. It's a bit hidden on the side of the hotel but worth the visit.
