“The food is very good, the only thing I don't like is that your clothes stink with the smell of oil and I don't know if they need a good hood to absorb that bad smell so that it doesn't permeate the clothes or I should change that iron they have On the front I think that is what causes it. But the flavor of the tacos is very good..“
“Such a great establishment. Warmly welcomed the minute you walk in the door. Great menu and phenomenal food. Staff, owner and fellow customers (appear to be regulars) are very helpful.I can’t rate it high enough. The owner has a great sense of humour and is such a thoughtful individual, who was interested in learning the food specialties where we are from and took time to warmly thanked us as we were leaving. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area. If you haven’t tried it yet, get going. It’s phenomenal. The brisket on Saturday is amazing!!!Parking: We’ve never had an issue parking there. Street parking and a lot on the side of the building.“

“Seriously amazing food and service you will not regret picking this place, the wait was a little long for the food but trust me it's worth the wait you can tell it's just the best cuts of meat their steaks were so delicious and the tacos omg too good loved it and I'm going back very soon!“
“My family and I haven't been coming here since the 90s. Whenever we are in the low desert and want Mexican food this is our go to. Salsa is good, so are the margaritas. They have excellent pork tamales as well. Our relatives that come out from North Carolina always ask to come here too when they're visiting. Service is excellent. Not exactly a quiet atmosphere if you're there when they're busy, but not too bad.“
“First time trying Juan pollos chicken. It's really good. The chicken has a lot of flavor. Rice and beans are good. The potato salad was a little dry. They could add a little more mayo. Easy fix... The side salad with Italian dressing really good. No complaints. Good “
“One of the best restaurants I went to while in Cat City for Coachella. If you don't want to pay exorbitant amounts of money for sub bar food at the festival, go to this place for a pre game meal. Your tastebuds will thank you. I'm usually not a fan of hard shell tacos but their beef tacos had fall-off-the-bone meat, and crispy crunchy taco shells that I haven't had anywhere else. Their specials center around pupusas, but those tacos won over my palate. Ended up coming here twice because of the value and taste. The waitstaff is extremely nice and we left with some temporary tattoos from the quarter machines which apparently haven't been serviced in 2+ years. Got to relive a part of my childhood here. 5/5 highly recommend!“
“Visiting Palm Springs and looking for some tasty tacos, this is the place. Had the fish tacos, which were packed with flavor and my wife is still raving about carne asada torta she had there.It's a bit small, seating area is very limiting, hence the 4/5 stars but the food makes up for it“
“Went had a burrito twice. The first time i had an el pastor burrito, and it was alright felt like the meat needed a little more seasonings, went there another time and had a carne asada burrito and that time it was bomb it 10 out of 1 Everything else looks good there because everytime i go there it always has a steady flow of customers.“
“We finally made it to this restaurant for dinner. We sat on the patio and watched a beautiful sunset as we dined. We found the menu had some great selections, but we stuck with some ala carte choices as a way to sample several items. The sopa with beef, the beef taco, and tostada were excellent. The enchiladas and tamale were just average, I'd say. The salsa and chips were a winner ( not too spicy with the salsa). Great pricing and service were additional reasons to come back for more.“
“My husband and I love the food here. I haven't tried very many things on the menu, but the things I have tried I have enjoyed. I'm kinda stuck on the one thing. I get the chicken Tortilla soup pretty much everytime. I make some rice and add it. It makes for a hearty meal. Plus I add a little sour cream. All together it is super yummy. My husband will try different things sometimes. He has also enjoyed everything he has tried. We usually get it as take out and the order is right almost everytime. I kinda don't like eating out or take out as much as I use to because I feel like most places cannot get the order right lately and the way cost have gone up I get really annoyed paying so much for something I don't really enjoy. That is another thing about Tortillas I love, they won't break your wallet. I definitely recommend.“
“Located inside a gas station store, this place is legit. There were 4 of us and we all ordered very different things and they were all way better than you would expect. Standout for me was the breakfast burrito and the menudo was super yummy too!“
“Loved my Cadillac Margarita and ala carte taco! Would have taken a photo but it was so good, I didn't have time. Sitting at their bar is the best! Surpassed my expectations!! How? Salsa and chips were the bomb! Loved the heat from the salsa and it's mild with much flavor. Hate Tex-Mex and this place is so so so much more! Yes, it's on the smaller size however don't let that fool you on the flavor, food or drinks!!“
“Love that I can call and pick up my order.It's the same woman who has been working for years, and she already knows my voice and order. Food is always great! Our drinks are a basic Jamaica and Horchata but so delicious!!My kids love the tacos and my spouse, and I grab an asada burrito and asada torta??We always split our food thinking we're gonna be satisfied but always regret not buying seconds. Lol.This is our family Go-To.Would Definitely recommend!!!“
“Stopped in for flour tortillas to go, but my son and I were starving. We decided to sit in for a a meal. He had the chorizo breakfast burrito, and I had Chile Relleño plate. Super delicious! Reasonably priced for Mexican food in comparison to many fancy Mexican restaurants. The girl who took our order, was very friendly and hospitable. I loved how clean the restaurant was inside, and the decor was simple and inviting. I will definitely go back! I wish I would've taken a picture of the food. Take my word for it, it's really good authentic Mexican food.“
“This definitely isn't a gourmet burger spot, but it's not trying to be. Neither is it a fast-food place. It's a semi-service diner. Order and pay at the counter, and your food is brought to your table (at least when I've been there, when it wasn't super busy). The staff will also refill your drinks and provide needed condiments, etc.I've only been twice. Once for a late breakfast, once for a lunch.The first time I had scrambled eggs and french toast with bacon, and of course, coffee. Pretty decent coffee, in fact.The second time I had a burger, fries, and coke.Both times my meals were really good. The breakfast was like homemade (or better, if you're not great at cooking breakfast), and the burger & fries were like you'd get at a good diner.Both meals were very tasty, and relatively cheap. The breakfast might have been about $10 or $12, but I don't remember for sure. The burger combo, way better than a fast food spot, was $10 and change. And that waswith good, friendly service, with my drinks refilled several times. An absolute bargain!I'm definitely a value oriented guy, so Boy's is definitely on my go-to list for this kind of food.I can't tell you what else is on their menu, besides onion rings that I'll try next time (I'd bet they're great), so check them out for yourselves. I really do expect that everything they serve is really good.“
“This place is excellent I highly recommend it very authentic love the tacos we always stop by and get some Mexican food here when we come up from LA and going to a Palm Desert if you love Mexican food and you don't like to spend a lot of money this is the place for you. Enjoy.“
“I’m not sure what they’re doing at this Del taco, but they should be given some type of award, The tacos I just had were absolutely incredible, Obviously, I eat at Del taco a lot. They have franchises all over the country, But for whatever reason whoever’s running, this restaurant is doing an amazing job and if anybody reads these reviews, you guys should be giving these people a raise. I have no idea how the food was so good. The tacos were not good for Del taco. They were good in general. They were like award-winning tacos.“
“Authentic ingredients, great delicious options. This was a recommendation from a close friend. I tried it and lived it. Staff is very friendly and attentative. I felt welcomed and appreciated. Great drinks and a huge selection of mixed drinks. Family oriented. I recommend the Aguachilles.“
“BEST PASTOR TACOS!!! I've had pastor tacos all over Mexico, and this location definitely has the best pastor I have EVER had. The tacos are always juicy and packed full of flavor. All ingredients are fresh to order. I've been coming here for years and never disappoint!“
“Let me get the bad out of the way first. I ordered the hard shell beef tacos and the meat seemed like it had been boiled without much, if any, seasoning and then put in a blender. I've never seen anything like it. I took the taco apart after a couple of bites to make sure there was actual meat in the taco because I couldn't taste it or feel any texture. I love tender meat but this was not tender, it was something else. I ended up taking the taco apart and using the shell and cheese to scoop up their amazing beans and rice and that was lunch. The shells were big, fresh and with just enough crunch and their spicy salsa is great. Also, the service was very friendly and didn't make me feel like I was an inconvenience, big plus!“
“This is the best Del taco with the best service I’ve ever had came in Thursday night at 9pm and this lady running the whole show has such a beautiful spirit, it’s joyful and she is very attentive positive and I loved her attitude, she deserves a raise a manager supervisor position she is really good. She creates the best atmosphere here: As a matter a fact she should be training every Del taco employee two thumbs up and 5 stars from me. BEST DEL TACO OF THE VALLEY THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT EXPERIENCE. I am satisfied 100%“
“I love this spot. The employees there are amazing. Makes me want to return for that, but as a bonus their food is amazing.Rather stop by here than the street vendors down the street from my house.Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family locationParking: Open parking. And plenty of it.“
“Driven past this place hundreds of times. Finally went in today. I had the bean and cheese burrito and the husband had a carne asada burrito then we shared a pastry. Everything was delicious and we will adding this place to our list of favorites. Friendly service, delicious food and good prices. I'm looking forward to trying other menu items.“
“Came in super busy but we sat and we're helped relatively quickly, nice clean establishment with plenty of seating available and spacey bar. The food at this place has always hit the spot and the drinks are some of the best in town. I usually get a regular Michelada but I tired the mango one this time, and it was good. The camaron Diablo was nice and spicy and the fish tacos and quesadillas the masa are always my go-to. Wish the server was bit more attentive but overall great dinner.“
“Good food. The staff were all very friendly and the service was great! It's a little too loud for comfortable conversation.Dietary restrictions: They were very accommodating for my Celiac, checking items to make sure they were GF or not.“
“I must start by saying the food is VERY VERY good.That said, our order was completely wrong.We ordered a two enchilada meal and got two two enchilada meals.We ordered a chicken quesadilla with extra cheese but it had no chicken or extra cheese.Everything we received tasted absolutely delicious! We really enjoyed the meal.The meal ended up being $69 without tax or tip for two people.My bad for not checking everything before leaving with the to go order.“
“The food was good and reasonably priced. Service was quick as I can for lunch. I did pick up a weird smell as I was near the window. Kinda odd almost as if a dog or someone had peed. Other than that smell popping up a couple times I am giving it 5 stars. Burger and fries were delicious.“
