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.

Highly recommend!

After a quick Yelp search, we found this spot. Once we arrived, finding street parking was tricky but not impossible! We had a reservation and were seated almost immediately. Definitely get a reservation if you are planning to go here. They have indoor and outdoor patio seating. We decided to sit inside. Being a vegetarian, I'm always on the lookout for interesting innovative food items. They had a vegan tamale and a veggie enchilada, stuffed with interesting list of vegetables. I decided to give those a shot. The tamales came out relatively quickly. The presentation was 10/10. The flavor profile was amazing. It was interesting to see the choice of vegetables. Overall, I loved the dish. The enchiladas came out quickly too. Again, the presentation was 10/10. It also came with a side of rice. The rice was surprisingly flavorful and tasty. The enchiladas were stuffed with delicious vegetables. I did request the cheese on side. Overall, we loved both the dishes. To celebrate our anniversary, they brought out a coconut cream ice cream. It was delicious and topped with fresh berries ! I highly recommend checking out this restaurant , you won't be disappointed!

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!
