“Omg!! It's so delicious! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. The bartender was so nice and fun. The food was insane, and the atmosphere is a total vibe! Don't miss out on this place! Make reservations tho. It's busy.“
“The atmosphere at this establishment is exceptional, and the customer service is truly amazing. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who exuded humility and positivity. I highly recommend trying their delicious margarita tower. While enjoying the beautiful mountain views, you can savor authentic Mexican delights. Thank you, Jaime, for a wonderful experience.Parking: Right in front of the restaurant“
“This place is a hidden gem. Delicious authentic Mexican food that has a wonderful happy hour. The menu is not like the bigger places but that's great because they really focus on the food they do serve. The prices are great, the staff are great the service is great! This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.“
“This is one of the best Mexican restaurants that we tried around this area. The service is very friendly. We chose Perlita andLengua En Salsa Verde. Both were delicious. The shrimps were cooked perfectly, tender and tasty. The "beef tongue with the green sauce" is an interesting dish to experience. We were not disappointed at all.“
“Absolutely incredible Mexican food. We had the cauliflower esquites and a mushroom quesadilla. Both were outstanding. Only wish that we had been more hungry, would have been fun to be able to try more things. Will definitely seek this out on my next trip to Palm Springs.“
“We had just flown into Palm Springs so were looking for a light dinner close to our condo. The Cantina had pretty good food although we were fortunate to catch happy hour prices. Even then, a small street taco was $5. It’ll probably take me a while to get used to CA prices again although being part of the Saguaro hotel likely didn’t help. Not sure we’ll go back but it was an overall good experience.“
“La comida fue muy deliciosa, mi favorita persona es la madre "mom". Tuve las enchiladas con polla, el servicio fue excelente y me encanta el servicio. Mi amigo ordenó la chimihangoo, la cosa fue muy gigante pero lo perecía delicioso!!!!“
“a very nice restaurant just a half a block off the main drag in Palm Springs the food was excellent and the service was great. we were there before it got really crowded so I wouldn't be able to tell you about how fast the service is in the middle of the busy hour.“
“Our family ate at Mickeys for lunch. The food was excellent and a very good value. We had the chorizo burrito, chicken burrito, chicken and beef tacos and quesadilla. All of the items had such good flavor and texture to the food. The way they cook the burritos on a grill and brown the sides gives the flour tortilla and really good flavor and texture. We will miss getting to eat there again since we were just visiting. Mickey after she cooked our meal came out and thanked us for our business before we were done and that was nice and appreciated.“
“This is modern Mexican at its finest. A great assorted of tastes were pretty in an attractive and comfortable setting. Our couch setting had us settling in for a great meal of small, shared plates. Dishes were innovative and thoughtfully prepared. Four of us shared four small plates to start, we had the chicken and red snapper to share as the larger plates and oh, so delicious crispy churros for dessert. These were served with a dulce de leche, hot chocolate and cinnamon ice cream. We were so full and happy! Our waiter was knowledgeable and food paced well. Drinks were also innovative--nice by the glass wine menu, too. We had an orange wine to complement the meal and it was superb.“
“Enjoyed our dinner including Chicken Flautas and Soinach Enchiladas- great margaritas too. House hot sauce a plus. The tortillas are hand made in house - so delicious.Vegetarian options: Spinach enchiladas made with fresh spinach - delicious“
“Wonderful place. The owners are welcoming and always interested in input to give suggestions how to improve service. I spoke to Kelle one of the owners today. I didn't eat here, because of an issue initially with separate checks for a group, however in the end the group did get to do separate checks. Will go back to eat in the future because Kelle was so kind to call me.“
“I apologize but I have been going to get food at this location ever since they opened. I should have given a review from the start, but I wanted to wait until I truly experienced all of what they have to offer. All I have to say is, AMAZING. Everything from their carnitas tacos to carne asada nachos is the best. I can say I even drink their hot sauce lol. You want food that gives every bang for the buck, you need to go here. They are such wonderful people to deal with, which makes it even better.“
“While eating at the neighboring El Salvador Cafe, we saw the bright colors on the patio of Loco Charlie's and decided to dine here for lunch the next day. Beto greeted us and let us select any of the tables inside or outside. After we chose one on the patio, he brought over our waters, a basket of chips and two bowls of salsa. The first serving of chips and salsa comes free, but it's an extra cost if you want a refill. The menu here is so extensive and they offer basically everything (and probably more) than what you'd expect at a Mexican restaurant. Beto recommended the fajitas so that helped me narrow down my decision. Overall, he was super personable and we enjoyed conversing with him, connecting on the topic of the Pacific Northwest. CHICKEN FAJITAS ($21.99): A HUGE serving which I'm sure could easily be two portions for many people. The chicken became a little dry as it continued cooking on the sizzling plate, but it had good flavor from a savory and slightly sweet marinade. The peppers and onions were still somewhat crisp and had developed a nice char. A separate plate contained two tortillas, Spanish rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo and guacamole. For the price, the amount of food was quite generous. I had enough leftovers to make for a light dinner. If you are in the mood for fajitas, but want a smaller serving, consider getting the Fajita Tacos. It's the fajita meat and vegetables, assembled into taco form, also served with a side of beans and rice. Throughout lunch, Beto provided great service and stopped by a couple times to check on us. The owner, Charlie, was also helping out that day and visited our table to say hello. Everyone in my group was happy with their meals, so I'd consider this a solid spot for Mexican food. Side notes: - There is plenty of parking since the restaurant is located alongside other shops and eateries. - The restaurant is not far from the airport. With planes taking off every few minutes, it is pretty loud, so the patio isn't the best place to hold a conversation.“
“First time eating here, came as a family of 4 with a reservation on Saturday night. Our server was excellent and very attentive. Food was generous portions and everything came out very fast. We were very pleased - we will order smaller meals next time so we can try dessert - meals were very filling.“
“First time in Palm Springs, and glad I went to this place for lunch. The place was clean. We were a group of 7, and they were really fast on getting us a table, bringing our appetizers, and food. There was no issue. Everything I had was really tasty. From the guacamole dip (must try) to the lobster enchiladas. Great place to go if you’re in downtown Palm Springs.“
“The greatest steamed fish and vegetable platter you will ever have the pleasure of knowing. I dream of it. Everything is so delicious and authentic and the staff is so sweet, they gave me complimentary churros on my birthday. I will return swiftly.“
“We came here for a quick dinner after an 8 hour flight from New York. We were looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant and we definitely found probably the best place in Palm Springs. This is not a fancy place, just a weird combination between deli/liquor store with a very clean Mexican Kitchen in the corner. The staff was friendly and everything was new and clean. Birria tacos was my favorite. Amazing Quality/price. Thank you, 100% will come back“
“Hell. Yes. Was visiting from LA and got to craving a burrito and tacos. Had a good feeling about this spot when I came across it on Yelp. It did not disappoint. Little window in a Mexican mini market. Got an asada burrito, shrimp tacos, a birra quesadilla, with a jamaica drink. Incredible. Not a sit down place by any means, the kind of place you get for takeout. But delicious with a friendly staff. Highly recommend.“
“Always a delight, been going here for years, and the food is always delicious, authentic, and served hot and fairly quickly. They recently acquired the space next to them, so there's plenty of room now, and the remodeling is very modern looking - great job!“
“We were taking a morning walk and couldn't get over this cool bar and the amazing TV screen! We decided to walk back and have breakfast with a bloody, I'm so glad we did! Troy was very hospitable from the moment we walked in! Sat at the bar and had a drink within 10 minutes! Fantastic service! The food was great, I had the carne asada Benedict and hubby had tacos. We wiped out plates clean! So so good! Take the extra effort and seek out this place when you visit Palm Springs! It's so worth it!“
“A fantastic choice for Mexican comfort food, from a typical menu. Large interior, plenty of seating, clean and cozy. Excellent service. Delicious salsa. Tried a few different combination plates, both were very good - flavorful and not bland. Carnitas was delicious.“
“This is really the best Mexican food in Palm Springs. I haven’t tried everything here and my go-to are the fish tacos which are delicious. I’m also a fan of the burritos, especially the shrimp with jalapenos inside. The salsa tastes freshly made. The meat case is good; I’ve purchased the seasoned chicken and asada for the home bbq. I’ve not yet arrived early enough on Saturday in order to try the menudo… I highly recommend Baja Springs.Update-I finally tried the menudo and yummmm! Seems like with new owners, the food got better.“
“This is a fun place to stop in and have a margarita and some nachos while sitting on the patio and enjoying the sites of palm spring!! The choice of cocktails were great but what made my experience even better was the manager Bruce !! It is so rare these days that a manager is so attentive as Bruce ! He was such a great host , I felt like I was a guest in his home! Thanks Bruce❤️“
“Fantastic food and great service in a casual setting.Probably the best Mexican food we’ve had in years. The taco and enchilada combo was large and super tasty. The ambience was very casual and the prices were decent for Palm Springs. The place was no frills, but the service was very fast/friendly and the food so good that we couldn’t prevent ourselves from stuffing our tummy’s despite knowing we’d probably regret feeling so full later. We did feel full for hours, but it was so good, the regrets never came.“
“Pop-up location behind Hair of the Dog. Open late, delicious, reasonably priced. What more could you ask for? Lots of different salsas, all yummy. The Korean tacos are my own favorite; if you can add kimchi to a taco, why wouldn't you?“
“We went for the first time on Saturday night. Seemed pretty busy but we had a reservation. The hostess Adri was very sweet, friendly and efficient. Our waitress was Bernice, she was also very kind with prompt service and good suggestions. Food was good, I had fajitas. Forget what hubby had. Will definitely come back!“
“Fish burrito, fish burrito, fish burrito. You can’t go wrong with this mofo fish burrito. It’s so good.I asked them to add spinach to it to get a bit of veg in the mix, which they did obligingly. Such a friendly place that I never would have found if not for google.“
“Went there on Street Fair Thursday in March 2024. Three of us sat by the street and got to people watch. Portable Heaters helped a lot to make it tolerable in the cool breezy evening. One out of three plates came out wrong. Felt awkward and impolite for us two to start eating, but it was cold and breezy. Still half my Chili Rellano wasn't very warm inside or out. Creamy sauce on top was good but cold. The second half was warmer inside. Tamale was very filling and excellent once I got some sauce to put on it. Had to wait and ask a couple times to a couple waiters for extra salsa for the entrées. Average price was $17 per plate plus drinks.“
“We've been eating here almost every week for the last month and let me tell you! THEY DON'T MISS! Our usual is The #10 Ground Beef Tacos & the Chicken Flautas! I just tried their Fish Tacos and they are DEEELICIOUS! Even the complimentary chips they give you are nice and warm, the salsa is yummy, and that CREAMY GUAC OH MY GOD The servers are so nice and food is so good. Being born & raised in Palm Springs and have eaten everywhere, THIS IS THE BEST IN PALM SPRINGS, HANDS DOWN. Don't go anywhere else. Let this be your Palm Springs Destination for Mexican Dining MUCHAS GRACIAS LAS CASUELAS! See you next week!“
“I always grab the classic Shrimp Burrito. It's filled with shrimp, never leaving you to wonder where all the meat is. It tastes good as is, but I always go overboard with their self serve salsa on the side. You can go ham with cilantro and lime. The entree gives you chips on the side. BUT if you take the survey that's part of your receipt you can either choose a free drink or ANY dessert. Which is insane by the way. I LOVE their blondie toffee brownies. You need their chipotle salsa in your life, that flavor is one of the reasons I come back when I'm in the mood for Mexican food. Even when their dining room is filled, it's still enjoyable to eat inside. Pretty well maintained with everything in the store. Now about the employees their newest team manager, Jason, is a much needed addition. He was extremely sweet, friendly, patient and an all star team player. He talked to customers both during the transactions and to check up on them during their meal. So uncalled for in terms of service, I was blown away. He was so personable, he even got to cleaning tables and checking on stirring the pumped juice drinks as the pulp was settling. Sebastian who seemed to be a cook, was also very nice. When Jason had a question with redeeming our survey code, he helped in. He didn't give off the normal food service vibe of "what now" he was actually very helpful and friendly as well. All in all you have a great team now!“
“Love the patio ambiance. We sat on back patio and prefer to front as you sit in a courtyard and tables had cushioned benches with backs vs facing construction out front. Waiter was fabulous. Excellent drink menu for cocktails and cocktails. Food was mouth watering and loved everything!“
