    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Aldo's Mexican Food on January 13, 2016, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. The shredded beef tacos were absolutely phenomenal--crispy, flavorful, and packed with succulent beef that was perfectly seasoned. The dorados and carne asada nachos were equally delightful, offering a perfect balance of crunch and savory goodness. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly service only added to the charm. Without a doubt, I would rate Aldo's Mexican Food as "the best." If you're in the mood for authentic, mouth-watering Mexican cuisine, this is the place to be!

    Carne asada fries with everything
    Mary W.

    Horrible service, short line, waited an hour in the drive through couldn't get out of line!! I kid you not! and then messed up my order... I had ordered a #17 and they gave me a cheese taco? Ordered carne asada fries with everything. This is what they gave me..Tried to get my order straight and they refused to fix it. They said they were too busy so I called in the morning and was told it was too late and they hung up on me! Thanks Aldos for the $17 cheese taco and the nasty dry carne asada fries that I threw in the garbage. Horrible service! Food looked nasty too soaked in lard. So many other mexican food places that are so much better! I seriously have no idea why this place is even open and operating. While doing the drive thru you are at the mercy of a nasty person that just gives you whatever they make. I highly recommend to avoid this place like the plaque..

    Mini Carne asada fries
    Anali C.

    Stopped by a few nights ago for a quick dinner pick up. Ordered the carnitas burrito, on the menu it says it comes with carnitas, guacamole, cheese & pico de gallo. I told the lady when I ordered no pico de gallo but it only came with carnitas nothing else, meat & tortilla. A little disappointing. Also ordered the mini carne asada fries. These are usually always good, this time they were a bit greasy. My kiddos enjoy the kids bean & cheese burrito. I took a bite it's actually really good and good portions (my 2 kiddos shared). I was also bummed because I told the lady the salsas I wanted and they placed the salsas I didn't ask for instead. Other than those two unfortunate things, the staff is usually always friendly and service is quick.

    Nancy wanted to finger the fries to show all the toppings were somehow under this. Spoiler alert- nothing I ordered was under this.

    This place has horrible service, specifically Nancy. She refused to correct an accident from whoever took my order. When I got home and saw my food was wrong, I went back to get the correct order, but Nancy blamed me for it and said she wouldn't fix it bc I already paid. I'll be going to 760 taco next time , they value my money over there

    Love this place but they are always so stingy about their sauces & them anytime I get an combo they make it so messy, it's annoying

    The absolute last time I ask for extra cheese I been going to this place for years & yes I will admit the food is good but the quality is something you have to ignore which really sucks! But yeh I'm sure I'll be okay with NOT coming here anymore until they improve on the attitude of their cooks because dang! This was a nasty experience....... I come here way too many times & boasted them way too much beyond the years to be treated like this so this really sucks. Go to Macarios instead or Las Consuelas to get your fix of wonderful Mexican food. Until Aldos fix's whatever they're going through What's in this photo?

    Asada nachos
    Diana H.

    I've been going to Aldo's since I was a child. Trust me when I tell you. The best thing on the menu is the asada nachos or fries ! Ps. Theirs a secret menu item! Order a mini version, if you're not that hungry. It comes with a drink !

    Tripas and carnitas tacos
    Vany S.

    I was craving Aguachiles and was super excited to find out that Aldo has it. It was super yummy. The sauce/juice was on point. Spicy and sour. Shrimps were fresh and sweet. Good combination of cucumbers and onion. Taco servings were generous. Tripas taco was well seasoned and crispy. Carnitas meat was soft and not too salty. Chicken taco and Al pastor taco were a bit oily and salty for me. I love that there is a salsa bar. Also... employees are super friendly and attentive. I think I found myself a new fave place !

    Menudo was delicious  10 out 10  definitely coming back again!!! Can't wait to try the Al pastor tacos/burrito and carne asada fries

    First time eating here not worth it, ordered carne asada fries. Fries were undercooked and so was the meat. Not worth it for the price.

    I asked ChatGPT to recommend the best Mexican restaurant in the Coachella Valley--the kind of place…read moreyou'd take an elite chef visiting from Mexico to show off just how good our Mexican food can be. El Tranvía in Coachella was the top recommendation. I tried it, and damn, I see why! It's amazing. Their birria tatemada is out of this world, and the aguas frescas are to die for. Hands down, this is the best birria I've had outside of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Absolutely worth the trip!

    Whoa flavor explosion! The food here is so good…read more Service was a bit slow, and the food took a while to come out. We also had to figure out on our own that we needed to grab our own salsas. They have a salsa bar near the cash register. All was forgiven once the food came. The carne asada in both the tacos and burritos was so flavorful, and I loved the homemade fresh tortillas. The salsas were all tasty, though definitely all on the spicy side. What really stood out to us were the camarones zarandeados (grilled shrimps). The sauce on them was delicious! They also have a full bar, and I couldn't help but notice everyone ordering these yummy looking red margaritas with a chamoy rim! Too bad it was a little too early for me to try one. However my husband did enjoy the beer. The decor is fun and lively, with a stage right in the middle. It was nice that the owner/manager came by to check in on us.

    Fun little place in old town Coachella. Wonderful older area with great architecture and small…read moreshops. Appears to be a popular locals place as there were several workers sitting down for lunch. Certainly not a picture perfect place but that was just fine. The pass thru window had charming signage above the window with all the meats and combinations explained in English and Spanish. Very helpful for us gringos. And wow! They have a very good assortment of meats. Hard working waitresses kept busy ! Cold modelo started the meal perfectly. Chili relleno plate and birria burrito soon followed. Rice was nice and fresh. Beans very puréed and not quite as good as I would expect. Entrees were so-so. With plenty of Mexican restaurants around we will keep trying them out! But I suspect this place will be just fine.

    The Real Deal: Like Sunday at Tio's…read more If you're looking for a "fusion" taco with micro-greens and a side of existential dread, keep driving. But if you want a meal that feels like a warm hug from a relative who's slightly disappointed you haven't visited more often, welcome to Jalisco Restaurant in Coachella. The Atmosphere: Family Values & Smoke Walking into Jalisco isn't like entering a business; it's like walking into Tio JP's backyard. That nostalgic aroma of hard work and seasoned grills immediately greets you. It's a throwback to being a kid, watching your tios hover over the fire, treating every flip of the meat like a sacred ritual. There's no "new-age hype" here--just the perfected craft of a family that knows exactly what they're doing. The Heavy Hitters: Tripas & Cabeza Whether you're a "seasoned veteran" of Mexican street food or a nervous newbie, you have to commit to the Tripas and Cabeza. The Texture: The Tripas are cleaned and cooked to that elusive, crispy-yet-tender perfection. The Vessel: Whether you tuck them into a taco or go big with a burrito, it's a masterclass in traditional cooking. The GOAT (Literally): The Birria Let's get one thing straight: most places are out here serving "beef seasoned with birria spices" and calling it a day. Don't be fooled. This is the real deal. We're talking authentic goat meat, slow-cooked using the De La Torre family recipe straight from Jalisco. It's rich, it's tender, and it carries the weight of generations. It's the kind of flavor you can't replicate with a "modern twist." The Refreshment: Homemade Chavelas You're going to need something to wash down that Menudo or those wet burritos. Their homemade Chavela recipe is the MVP here. For the Modelo Negro fans: It adds a dark, savory depth. For the Michelob Ultra drinkers: It gives that crisp finish a spicy, citrus kick. The Verdict Jalisco Restaurant is one of the valley's originals for a reason. It's honest food for people who respect the process. In a world of trendy "reimagined" Mexican food, Jalisco reminds us that the original recipes never needed fixing in the first place. Go for the food, stay because you feel like family.

LOCATION: In Old Town La Quinta, OTLQ easy to find, tons of parking but at times it gets busy so you may have to walk a bit. FACILITY: very traditional inside and out, clean, and lots of space between tables. MENU: rather massive, we usually order the same things so all the other options makes my head hurt so we just go with what we know. FOOD PREP: excellent, always looks the same which is a good things. FOOD QUALITY: some of the best in the valley. LIBATIONS: lots of choices and not too expensive, wish they had a locals city of LQ discount like some of the other options in OTLQ.. WAITSTAFF: very nice, everyone. OVERALL VALUE: if you order the right things, it is a great value but you can go nuts and spend a lot, tourist dollars spend well, upselling happens for those who want it and deserve it! TIP: Sitting outside is great most all year, we don't go out when it is crazy hot, but have dined outside in 100+ temps, we prefer the front outdoor space.
