“I ordered spicy beef soup and to my surprise it was perfectly spicy and delicious. Staff was super friendly and service was very timely. I’m not sure about the atmosphere but because of food and service I’m going to give 5 star review. At the end of the day what is atmosphere if food is not good at a restaurant….”
“Great food and they are wonderful at supporting our hometown community”
“A great experience! Great food with great drinks makes it all work. Reasonable prices and great customer service, highly recommend!”
“Tried Mr. Claws for the first time today. Already trying to figure out when I will eat it again. Had the twosome with shrimp mussels sausage corn potato and hard boiled egg. I highly recommend you use the bib and gloves they give you. It was a little messy but delicious! Server was friendly and very informative and our actual meal was served via robot.”

“We had an amazing experience at Trilusa! The food was delicious—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. What truly made the evening unforgettable, though, was the incredible staff. They went above and beyond to make our birthday dinner feel special, providing attentive, friendly service from start to finish. It’s clear they genuinely care about their guests and creating memorable experiences. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend Trilusa to anyone looking for outstanding Italian food and exceptional hospitality!”
“Great neighborhood hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant behind CVS on Vista Chino and Landau Blvd.”

“I really wish I would have taken a picture of my vanilla yogurt bowl but I just dove in! It had bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. All of the fruit was sweet and looked absolutely delicious. The granola was still crunchy and the yogurt was fantastic. I also ordered a brown sugar white mocha iced latte and it was to die for. Creamy, balanced, not too sweet, not too acidic, and just flat out worth the calories. This family owned and run business is my new favorite spot for a morning or mid afternoon pick me up!”
“great dbl cheeseburger and fries. unlike other places they leave you alone while you're eating. unless of course they see you putting ketchup on your burger ( right cory!) been a resident of the desert for 48 years, never been to George's before yesterday. I will be back.”

“If you are looking for great coffee and a place with actual community, look no further.Hot Lips has to be the best coffee spot in Palm Springs area/surroundings.
The place is attended by its owner Tara, who is such a chatty, ally, and kind person. The place is decorated with that Palm Springs MCM style and just has such a cute ambiance of its own.
If you are looking for making connections, enjoy great coffee and do some work. This is the place for you!
Also- there are great thrift pieces to shop around (in this shop) if you’re looking for a nice wearable souvenir of Palm Springs.”

“Excellent breakfast and lunch. Not a single item wasn't praised by my party of 5. There, must have been a convention or something lots of people wearing name tags flooded the restaurant right about noon simultaneously. In the span of just a couple minutes all the tables were filled and people were standing and waiting. Everything was good, just be aware, large events can completely saturate the restaurant's availability, In the blink of an eye.”
“Service was top notch. The Tapas was phenomenal. Ordered the paella it was awesome! There were 6 of us and we got the paella for 4 and with the tapas we got it was more than enough... great wine selection, and we all split a bunuel for dessert that had V a crabs and a raspberry sauce that was out of this world.... the decor was also amazing, the vibe was casual but intimate...200% recommend”
“We recently moved to Cathedral City from New Jersey and have been making it a point to try as many local restaurants as possible. China 8 was our latest stop, and overall we had a pleasant experience.
The service was friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived. We started with the fried potstickers, which were crispy and enjoyable. The egg drop soup wasn't our favorite, as it included corn, which was a little different from what we're used to, but it was still a nice start to the meal.
For our entrées, we had the Chicken with Snow Peas and the Chicken & Broccoli in Garlic Sauce. The snow peas were fresh and crisp, and the chicken was tender. The garlic sauce dish was packed with flavor and definitely had some heat to it—more than we expected—but it was well prepared and made with fresh ingredients.
While China 8 hasn't quite replaced our longtime favorite Chinese restaurant back in New Jersey, it was a solid meal and one we enjoyed. We would definitely come back and explore more of the menu, especially now that we know to ask for milder spice levels on some dishes.
If you're looking for a dependable neighborhood Chinese restaurant with friendly service and generous portions, China 8 is worth a visit.”
“we absolutely love love love smokey lips bbq. I get the family tray and make so many meals out of it since every single item is so friggin tasty. The desserts and cornbread are heavenly. I will admit i am so picky about what/where i eat and this bbq is my absolute favorite in the entire coachella valley and would highly recommend them. Been going back for months and will be a loyal client”
“Super excellent service with food to match! The pizza is always delicious and their Cole slaw is some of the best I've ever had. OH, and they have a pooch friendly patio!! Highly recommended.”

“I am new to this location and must write a glowing review for the outstanding experiences I have had. Most particularly to the morning crew with an honorable mention to Sandra. Truly all of the staff of this shift are fantastic and deserve much praise. They are all kind and caring and go above and beyond to offer value and exceptional service to their customers. The restaurant is super clean with a welcoming atmosphere. The food is fresh and delicious, authentic and like homemade. Now my #1 go to Del Taco in the valley. Highly Recommended!”
“This place has certainly UP'd their menu this year. I'm loving the entertainment but when I ordered food, t was well beyond my expectations. Best review I've ever given. All my compliments.”
“My husband and I went here for dinner. Absolutely fabulous food. Cooked to perfection. Very friendly and welcoming servers. We will definitely come back again.”

“This is my third time coming to this new Tea shop!By the way they are under new management! And I have to see their drinks are consistently amazing.
Last time I ordered a Matcha drink that reminded me a Popular tea shop called Omomo in Irvine! I didn’t even get a chance to take a picture because I finish it so quickly it was that good! You can really taste the quality of their Matcha and tea. Everything taste very fresh and well made!
Today I tried their mango yogurt drink, and it was honestly SO good! Super refreshing, perfectly balanced, not overly sweet. I’m pretty sure I could drink this every day!”
“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!”

“SUPPORT THIS LOCAL BUSINESS!
This place is affordable, delicious and serves huge portions. Period! Ignore the people saying otherwise in these comments...
My only feedback is the dining room gets a tad smoky on occasion due to the location of the grill.
SUPPORT THIS LOCAL BUSINESS! They went through a lot with certain ICEy activities in their parking lot. We need to rally around local business in the year 2026!”
“Super bomb!! My whole family loves this place. The family that owns this little spot are amazing. The food is soooo good! One of the best in Cathedral City. U can’t beat their food and their prices! The burrito n tacos are a major must try! I believe they have menudo n birria on certain days of the week also.”
“We’ve ordered from here several times. This is our go to place for excellent fresh high quality authentic Mexican food. Their chicken mole is outstanding, and the chicken fajitas are delicious. The fresh chips and salsa are top notch, fresh and delicious. I appreciate a full serving with rice and beans with each entree. And fresh tortillas. The price is an excellent value at about $18-$19 for each entree. You certainly get your moneys worth. We had margaritas at the bar. They were fantastic!
We usually pick up and take the food home. The quality is consistent and has always been fresh. Thank you! I highly recommend Taqueria San Miguel!”

“I was in the area visiting for a few days and found a couple Filipino restaurants. Meng’s was the best, I went twice to over the 4 days that I was visiting the area and my wife and I loved it. The other place shouldn’t even be mentioned. Meng’s has hot, fresh food cooked daily by the wonderful staff.”
“This place has a lot of ice cream flavors and even some dairy free sorbet flavors. They serve beer and snacks both hot and cold. You can get waffle cone, you can get chocolate covered bananas here as well as some other novelty treats. The ice cream flavors were the classic ones and tasted fresh and delicious. There’s room for seating inside.”
“Julian went above and beyond during bingo (where honestly this company lacks showing support to servers at this time). He had such poise, a great smile and solution oriented! I appreciate you very much Julian you are an asset to that team.”
“Amazing experience. Came for Korean fried bbq wings and a cold beer. Food was delicious, the beer was cold and the service was excellent. Definitely will be back!”

“I grew up on E pels, they would come to my middle and high schools, the firework shows, swap meets, you name it! E pel was and is a huge part of my childhood. I left the desert 10 years ago and find myself still regularly thinking about these today. I’ve never found anything that comes close to my beloved drinks, and they will be the first thing I search out when I come back for a visit. Give them a try, you don’t forget it, in my opinion they are a desert staple not to be missed.”
“This lady that manages this location I've seen of her working for del taco years and I'm Happy & I'm proud of her for actually having her own store now to manage. I don't know if it's her own store but she's running it well and the services always great, and their service is always speedy even when short staff !! We go for the Chili Cheese fries & the Burger .. mmmmmugh !”
“Buenos Dias muchachos!!! It’s a trip outside the strip!!! The place is like you stepped in the barrio in Guatemala City. The food is Guatemalan too, very good taste and savory. Good plans to avoid tourist traps and bad food in Palm Springs. The food is prepared fresh from Guatemalan bros that know how to cook. 5 stars for the good food and good vibes like Antigua 😎
Vegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options.”
“A drive thru and look at this food! It's all good, but I'm really here to send mass Love to Chris. He really brings a friendly, community spirit to the drive thru. I was feeling some kinda way. He lifted my spirit with a few quick words and a whole lot of wise understanding. I KNOW I'll be returning to see how Chris is doing when I'm back in town. Now that my vibe has been nourished, I'm excited to savor this meal. ✌️”
“I have been here twice and a very personable employee (I believe she goes by T)has already remembered my order. She is very professional and seems like a true leader in this store. She is a star.”
“A real stay in town staycation hotel & their Palanco Kitchen restaurant for breakfast is so delicious with very nice waiters/waitresses and bussers I also love their bar menu for late night dinners a great experience”

“Had a fun time watching the World Cup at this location. The food is decent and the service was excellent. We were served by the bar staff and they were attentive and chatty which was really nice. Good drink options as well and overall a fun place to watch the game.”

“I was not in a very good mood when I walked into this restaurant, but the lady who took my order was so pleasent and upbeat with me and all the customers that it compleatly changed my mood. Also while I waited for my coffee the manager came around the tables with a sample of a pineapple/Mango drink, delicious by the way, thank you both for changing my mood! Keep smiling 😁.

“Great food! Great service! Not sure if this is one of their things, but I kind of think it is after reading other reviews, because the food and drinks we ordered were delivered to us very fast. My husband had a draft beer from the bar that was served ice cold in a perfectly chilled glass. We started our meal with a classic wedge salad. I have to say that I did not expect this to be on the menu of a “burger joint” but so glad it was. It was a generous portion with the all the classic elements. The standout here was the bacon on the salad. It was freshly made and perfectly cooked. My husband had the smash burger and I had the Chicago dog. So many times at other burger places it seems that the bun overshadows their burgers but not here. And the hotdog here had a very nice hint of sweetness in its pickle relish. So delicious! We also had a half order of the regular fries. You can tell that they are house made and not frozen. They are seasoned and have a nice light coat of salt. Yummy! We splurged for a strawberry malt to finish our meal. Wow! It was served in a classic ice cream fountain style glass and accompanied by the big silver metal cup that they used to make and mix it in. What a value. It was more than enough for two full glasses. Nothing like the real thing when it comes to a strawberry malt. They deserve to be on anyone’s radar when looking for a delicious restaurant with outstanding service.”
“Loving the convenience and accessibility of the new Chipotle in Cathedral City.
The staff is pleasant. The atmosphere is typical Chipotle. Food is on point, even when the hot & cold lines look like a burrito bomb exploded all over.
My only complaint is the discrepancy of the serving size from different employees. It vastly differs each time I've been to this Chipotle. Though who am I kidding, it happens at most Chipotle's.
I will say that when i've asked for a little more of something, they've usually obliged.
Thanks Chipotle Corp. for building one in Cathedral City.”
“Very friendly staff, very delicious food, great sushi and udons.”
