Food is amazing, customer service is great, and the restaurant is very clean. I normally go in for lunch with my crew, and we love how authentic the food. The Salsa is AMAZING! They have a great lunch special! Highly recommended.

Quick service for a quick dinner that we preferred out. I had the beef chimichanga and my spouse had a chicken burrito. Both meats a bit over cooked and soft. Sauces were delicious as were the rice and beans. The only thing keeping this place for five stars is the meat quality. Decently priced drinks!

Our first time visiting and the food was perfect and authentic. The plates are big and the drinks on point. We each got margarita’s, belly’s full, service consistent, warm and friendly. The atmosphere was very hometown. We’ll definitely visit again soon!

Solid four stars. Good wasn’t awesome but wasn’t bad. Would consider returning. The road construction didn’t do them any favors for accessibility.

Cozy place with plenty room for 1 to ???. Service was wonderful. Seated upon arrival. Drinks served quickly. Waitress and manager responded to our needs. I’m currently on a low carb diet so asked for a salad substitute instead of a side of beans. Waitress said no problem. Our food was delivered promptly and was very good. This place is very old and in need of a remodel. But was clean as well as the restrooms. We enjoyed our meal very much and the wonderful service.

I came from San Jose, CA, I’m a vegetarian and I really like this place has a separate menu for vegetarian people,. I really like that concept, and another thing is The food is delicious and I had a the best tamales ever I had in my life, Maria was great and I had a good conversation with her, I came to know that this is family owned business from 30 years and that tamales was her mom’s recipe. Thank you Maria for welcoming me and treating me well, and also thank you for letting me to have a pic with you☺️, I highly recommend this place, people are so nice, Food is delicious, nice environment. when I come to Desert hot springs in future, I’ll definitely visit this place and will definitely meet Maria.

I cannot speak on the food. I am only speaking on my initial gut feeling when I walked in today. It is beyond dark and seemingly dirty here. As soon as I walked in it smelled like dirty dish water or like dirty rag. It was so unpleasant I convinced my husband to leave before we were seated. Im really sorry I have to leave a review in hopes someone that works there will pass the message along. I’ve seen great reviews and heard from one of my customers how its the best in DHS. I really wanted to try it out because casablanca has repeatedly let me down. I will stop by another time. today just threw me off.

I have wanted to try this place for a few years but every time I wanted to go it was closed (Sundays). Tonight we went and I have to say…it’s my new favorite Mexican restaurant in DHS. The food all tasted like it was made from scratch. The salas were fresh and delicious. The nachos were a sloppy mess…like I love them. The carnitas were quite tasty and the Chili Colorado Chimichanga was amazing. Jose Luis was an outstanding server and extremely pleasant.
