    Small Nachos with Chile Colorado
    Andrea P.

    I was in the area and went to go get the Breakfast Special, which comes with two ham, eggs and potatoes and cheese inside of it, I Shared one with my mom. Also I go a side order of chips and salsa. The customer service is always great. Call first to make sure the breakfast special orders wait time isn't too long.

    Arriola's Tortilleria is an Indio staple! Hole-in-the-wall near old town Indio. Perfect place to grab a grab-and-go breakfast, lunch, or my favorite, a snack. I have been going here since I was a kid. We love their salsa and chips! Everything is homemade from the salsa to the masa. They offer burritos and homemade tortillas as well! Even have menudo on the weekends! Service is great, quick and easy. Most I've waited is around 5 minutes for my food. It does get packed during lunch time so be ready for that.

    I purchased menudo today, Sunday arrived home to warm it up to find that what I purchased was the majority was only harmony. I drove back with my purchased menudo to show him that I was unhappy; instead of trying to resolve the issue by first apologizing and giving me another one he simply said we'll, here's your money. I then told him I think this is the last time I come here his response was simply ok. All in on all extremly horrible. ​

    Family owned. Friendly service. Great quick gran and go. Got a chile Colorado and it was great!

    Beef tamale
    Brigette G.

    My review is only for the tamales, I haven't tried any of the other items on the menu yet, so stay tuned... I placed an order on a Tuesday, for a few dozen that following Sunday for my Christmas dinner. The cashier was friendly and I didn't have to wait at all. He quickly brought out my order of warm tamales, Wow talk about big ! The beef was my favorite, very flavorful. Lots of Masa! . All you need is one! The chicken was also good also, but it was a tad bit salty. This is a hole in the spot in Indio that has been around for many years. Be prepared to wait in the long line, but it is definitely worth it.

    Is the prepared masa that is sold for tortillas, tamales, pupusas? Can it be used as is or does something need to be added?

    If you buy the prepared one you can use as is and it cost a little more.

Since moving here some nine months ago I've eaten at a dozen or so. Some OK. Most very good, some great and even one awful. Guadalajara Café & Bar is an absolute stand out. It's my new go to spot. I knew I was in a good place when I saw how many people walked in and were clearly known to the staff as regulars. The decor is simple, clean and you can see the cooks working through the busy pass through. Plenty of parking. The chips are fresh, crispy and lightly salted. The salsa is outstanding with the right amount of heat. It was lunch time and I'm not much for alcohol so I didn't try any of the drink offerings this visit... next time! Between two of us we ordered the fish tacos which were excellent. Also had the chili relleno which, unless I'm mistaken was battered and fried when ordered, not left sitting waiting to be ordered, huge difference! And the sauce on the relleno was perfect. Also had the mole enchilada with it. Again, unless I'm mistaken the mole was made fresh in house and was the best I've had in a long time. The waitstaff was great efficient, attentive and made sure we were happy. And were they hustling! Busy place and they didn't miss a thing. Five stars across the board food, staff, venue... even pricing! To quote a famous movie line, "I'll be back" Sorry no photos, I was too busy eating LOL.

    Excellent experience. Very drunks. And attentive staff. Authentic style Mexican cuisine…read more Happy hour has a good selection. Food and drainks. Dog friendly is a big plus. Highly recommended.

Service was adequate, but had to ask for more water, chips, etc ! Meals were good, but chimichanga not deep fried.....more like a burrito ! Rather disappointing experience this time with our kids...... have been there before with a much better experience ! Will give it another try.........

    SHORT ANSWER: Just an update, but Casa Mendoza seems to be just getting better. Some new staff but…read morefood quality and people here are very welcoming. 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.
