You have just been worked over at the Migra checkpoint and are getting hungry for lunch, Palm Springs now being too far away to make a run for. The sign says that Mecca is just a few miles ahead. You approach it with dread. Mecca turns out to be a Mexican town in the Sonoran Desert that just happens to be on the US side of the border. Not a gringo in the place. The town exists as a residential center for migrant agricultural labor that works in the huge latifundia surrounding Mecca, mostly picking sweet bell peppers. USDA approved signs are on the dorms. The stoop labor working out in the fields reminds you of antebellum Mississippi, except you can see that they are driving cars better than yours. There is not even a McDonald's in town, not even a Dairy Queen. Where are you going to eat? So we cruised the town (not much to cruise) and found Ofelia's Mexican Restaurant, a couple of blocks off the main road. Not much on the outside to recommend it, but it seemed a tad cleaner looking than the rest of town. What a find! The owner is a chilango, and his wife and children still live in the DF. We now realize that that is why we stopped there -- we had lived in the DF for 3 years, and this reminded us of the neighborhood spots we used to eat at.. He sports a county A for kitchen clenliness, and it was. Inside a few tables, but outside and hidden from the street a shaded seating area. Just the right temperature (at least in November). There was a printed menu, but not of much use. His clientele is almost all migrant labor, and he cooks to their regional tastes depending on what labor crew is in town that week. He had just made chiles rellenos, so we had that with the fixings. Delicious, light, real. The best beans and rice we have had for years -- with no later gaseous effects. Great home-made horchata and jamaica and tamarindo. (He does have a license, but offers only Corona and Bud Light, so bring your own if you can stand to drink alcohol in that heat). We felt like we had gone back to Mexico, not eating in a Cal-Mex place. Later, eating in the Palm Springs tourist joints, we realized that it might even be a good idea to drive back to Mecca for good Mexican food. It is that good. Try it.

Off the beaten path next to a tire shop is probably one of the best Mexican eatery's in the area. Flavorful, authentic, seasoned from the sauces to the chips.

I found my new love every time I go to Palm Springs or Desert Springs area. everything was 10/10

The restaurant inside is immaculate, modern and clean. The service is phenomenal. This is a family owned business that cares about the customer experience with great food and friendly service. There is no sign on the street as it blew out from the wind. It is a family owned stand alone building with a tire shop next door, also in the family. It is on Indian Canyon North of the 10 about a mile out on the left. (It is easy to miss since the street sign is gone). Maybe we need to set up a Go Fund Me to help them get a new sign. They deserve success, they are doing it the right way.

Lots of fuel pumps for cars and big trucks in the rear. Numerous areas to dump RV tanks as well.

Overall a great place o stop.

Even after I kindly asked if they could just take it out our check after taking a sip of it to try it, the server immediately became hostile and said that why would they take it back if I had tried it already. Then we asked to speak to the manager since she couldn't help us and she told us the cooks were the managers and that they extremely angry at us and at her for me not liking the food and asking if they could please just take it out of our check.

Service was amazing, so quick to come out with fresh chips and salsa (FRESH! as in they made the chips in-house... rare trait to come by these days IMO). Quantity of food was incredible. I can't speak for the menudo (dad got this) or for the 3 egg platter (not really sure why my mom got this) but $16 for a carne asada burrito as well as the beans, rice, and veggies on the side was such a steal. Especially in Anza Borrego. I would've thought it would maybe be more expensive since it probably costs a lot to bring out the best ingredients in the desert but somehow they have it all figured out. The carne asada burrito meat was top tier. Smoky flavor, soft with charred edges, so flavorful and overall the quantity of the burrito was way more than I was expecting. Lastly, I'm just so happy my dog got to sit outside with us. They have a shaded patio with a couple tables. I think other pet parents followed suit, as this seems to be a hit for dog-friendly spots here in Anza Borrego. I'd highly recommend. What a great find by me. Go me!! This is truly a hole in the wall that needs more recognition. You won't be let down!
