The food was great! I do mean great. It was pretty empty in the restaurant which had the wife and I a bit concerned about the food. However the Calamari tacos were nothing short of amazing.

Great place. I love this restaurant. Always great food, great customer service. The food portions are large and you could share a plate. They have an amazing house salad and amazing carnitas. Hard for me to pass everything I go. My partner does enjoy the combo plates and the burritos and enchiladas are very delicious. I love their refried beans and chips. They have outdoor seating, indoor seating and bar seating. The bar seating area can feel a bit cramped. They have the games playing on their tvs in the bar area and if you want to watch a different game they will change it. Parking can be a challenge when its a busy night out. I highly recommend this eatery.

Dawn (We Always WAnder)
This has turned into a bit of a tradition for our first night in Palm Springs on our annual trip. The happy hour is a great deal and the margaritas are a great way to start your first night in the desert! This year we had the nachos, the fish tacos, and the canoa…. all appetizers to share and they we so big we couldn’t make a dent in them! More food that we could eat and 2 large margaritas for a total of $37…. a pretty amazing deal. Combine that with an outdoor patio and excellent service and you know why we came back again this year! One of these years I want to see the brunch drag show!

We booked a reservation several days out, and paid for an Uber only to find out the restaurant had been closed weeks prior even though they had confirmed our reservation. Terribly disappointed that we wasted the money to take an Uber over, no communication on the restaurants part. We have been loyal patrons for years, but will not be returning.

Absolutely loved it! Everything was so fresh from the homemade pico to the warm tortilla chips! The service was great and the food tastes even better!! Will definitely be coming back.

Beware of being overcharged ! We were overcharged by $ 29 for 2 non-existent drinks and 2 non-existent happy hour food items, even though happy hour ended more than an hour before we arrived. Deceptively, the extra items were shown in parentheses to the left of the main column of billed items, so it wasn’t immediately clear – without adding up the numbers – that these items were included in the bill.

Great place for good food and hang out with friends. I had the fish tacos. They were not bad but different from the last time I was there. The menu is updated. There was very talented live entertainment playing harp. Margaritas are very good.

Some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Tender, flavorful pork and beef. Awesome salsa. Fair portions and prices. Great margs!

This place is okay… I’d highly recommend them to put any kind of hand sanitizers on the tables as they serve chips, it would be a plus for the customers to sanitize their hands before touching the food. The food was mediocre. I’d describe the food has more comercial taste rather than home made. Used to be really tasty but no longer so good.

Thursday happy hour is legit! Two for one margaritas! $2 crunchy tacos! So delicious. Some of the best beans I’ve ever had! Great outdoor seating.
