    I ordered 2 pounds of carnitas and I want to go back already because it was so delicious! Cashier was very helpful she is the one who told me what to order since it was my first time there. Loved it will go back!

    Bad business!! You are only limited to cuerritos, I wanted to buy 2 pounds.. and I wasn't allowed to because according to the business they need to save some for the rest of the day.. 2 pounds!!! Either they're in business to sell or they aren't! Not happy with this place

    I'm not sure how long this place has been opened, but i saw a Live Facebook video today and had to drive down. $1.50 tacos Tried al pastor, carnitas and cueritos and they are DELICIOUS!! The flavor is AMAZING . Walked in and was greeted by 2 lovely women that made us feel Welcomed. We asked for our order to go being that we wanted to just try out the food needless to say we didnt make it far, we found a shaded area and whipped out the tacos!!:) All I can say is ," If you Love tacos give these a try you won't regret it. Thank you also to the owner of Carnitas for throwing in 1/2 lb of carnitas for naming the song on FB live today !! I named it first but it was given to someone else :( But she didn't hesitate to give me a prize too! Love this place will be back Saturday!!

    We stopped by this location for brunch on our way to Sacramento and after reading some highly recommended yelp reviews. It is located in Coachella and about 3 miles off the 10. The ambiance and decor is your typical traditional Mexican mom and pop style. It remains me of Pilsen in Chicago, except the tacos we had wasn't as delicious. Since we weren't starving, we ordered the norm of chicken and shrimp tacos. They're ok, not as flavorful as I expected and the sauce was ok too. Overall, I think the reviews overhyped the food, therefore my expectations were high.

    There carnitas are delicious.

    Have mercy on the carnitas was amazing!!!! Delicious and inviting!!! Love this place!! The al pastor and carnitas tacos were perfect! The pic is of my girlfriend trying to get the last taco. NO WAY WOMAN... that's mine.

    Okay I am giving 3 stars because of the service! We went this place on a Saturday, Coachella is really hot on summer, it was around 3 pm and once we got inside they asked us to wait outside because of the coronavirus so we went out when we finally got inside again and were able to order there were 3 women "helping " but we noticed that they had 3 other ladies ordering without making the line!! And they would not take our order! We were standing right in front of the 3 women and the 3 of them will be helping the other ladies! When one of them finally took our order she made it all mad and didn't even put the plate on the scale BECAUSE YOU BUY BY THE POUND! The food was good but while all this was happening inside with us and the other ladies there was like 15 people WAITING OUTSIDE if you have people waiting in line be fair and make EVERYONE WAIT I don't know who those ladies were but obviously they were "special " so that's what I call a very bad customer service

    Torta de carnitas!
    Jesse T.

    Had carnitas and the buche, both of which were very delicious, the carnitas were very tender and moist as they should be, the buche taco was outstanding as well, the service was a bit slow but very nice and attentive, I'll visit again soon.

The location was easy to find, ample parking too. The restaurant itself is kind of small (it's kind of more like a coffeehouse with a decent-sized table-service area), but we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table on our second visit. (Yep, we liked it enough that we went twice during our trip!) The servers and staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful. The food was hot and delicious, and the portions were generous. And there were a good variety of savory and sweet brunch items to choose from. They also serve lunch and have a bakery counter, but I didn't look too hard at those parts of the menu because I knew I wanted the short-rib scramble as soon as I saw it on the online menu, haha! And the biscuits--oh my goodness, they are so good. They taste perfectly homemade and are pillow soft yet just the right amount of crumbly without being a dried, cracking mess. Across my 2 visits, I had the short-rib scramble (yum) and the Meany (basically eggs, sausage, potatoes, and a biscuit--yum), and my daughter had the biscuits and gravy, which she said was great. I highly recommend Wilma & Frieda's and will definitely go back on future Palm Springs trips.

    SHORT ANSWER: Yes, best time off season or off hours as this place gets slammed for a reason…read more LOCATION: Great location, just off Washington in La Quinta, Easy to find parking can get busy depending on when you visit. FACILITY: Looks like a diner, is a diner, and very nice and clean. MENU: Many selections, breakfast options may be overwhelming but you'll definitely find something you want. Lunch offers very good but standard options. FOOD PREP: Always, very well done for that Louise's Pantry is, they don't fake anything here. FOOD QUALITY: Excellent for this style of food. It is a great experience. WAITSTAFF: We've been here many times, and never have we run across anyone not upbeat, polite, and happy to see a customer. OVERALL VALUE: A bit on the expensive side but considering the amount of food they bring you, it is a fair deal. TIP: Unless you are Mr. Creosote (bonus points if you know that one) for $2.00 you can get a split plate and still have a huge portion. We usually go this way respecting the seats we are taking up.

The eggs needed seasoning, and the country potatoes were dry and lacked flavor, with only a couple of small pieces of onion and red pepper mixed in. My husband had the hash browns instead and felt his breakfast was just as bland. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was relaxed, but we were seated next to a broom, dustpan, and the bus cart for dirty dishes, which wasn't the best first impression. The restaurant also feels a bit dated. A few simple updates, like replacing the dusty artificial flowers and keeping cleaning supplies out of sight, would make a big difference. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but with so many great breakfast options in the area, we probably wouldn't return.

I ordered the scrambled eggs with house potatoes, chicken apple sausage, and honestly some of the best sourdough bread and butter I've had in a while. My husband had the breakfast sandwich, while my daughter ordered the French toast. Every bite of our meal was bursting with flavor. I was already full but still wouldn't let them take my plate because I kept picking at it, lol. Thats how good the chicken sausage and sourdough bread were. Our server made a few beverage recommendations, so of course we had to try them. We ordered the Bloody Mary flight to share between the adults and it did not disappoint. Not only was it aesthetically pleasing, but each Bloody Mary was unique in flavor and delicious. My favorite was definitely the one with the bacon. We also ordered the Brunch Spritz because why not? It sounded cute and were on vacation. Unfortunately, that one was a fail for me. I felt like I was straight-up sucking on a greapefruit. Definitely not my cup of tea...or should I say spritz? The main standout, though, was the service. Jaime was incredible. He made sure we had everything we needed, constantly checked on us, and even joked around with our table, adding to the already positive morning vibe.

Everyone was super friendly, our servers were great, and the manager was really cool and took the time to talk with me and explain how they do things. Honestly, the service is what saved this review and brought it up to three stars. The food, though... It was just not good. Everything looked kind of meh when it came out (as you can see in the pictures), and the flavor matched. I can't even remember exactly what we ordered but I remember my husband and I looking at each other like, "Wait...is this the same chain?!" It was such a completely different experience from the Broken Yolk we had in Vegas. Even the atmosphere felt different. The music was good, but instead of that fun, brunchy vibe we were expecting, this location felt much more like a traditional diner. And then there was my Bloody Mary flight. I specifically ordered it again because the one we had at the other location was SOOO good. This one was just...not. I don't know if they use a different mix at each location or make their own, but whatever the difference was, it was noticeable. I really wanted to love this place because our first Broken Yolk experience was so good, but unfortunately the food here was just really disappointing. If I were rating on food alone, I'd honestly probably give it two stars, but the service was genuinely great, so I'm being generous with three. Great people and great service, just wish the food matched!
