    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.

    I had read about Temalpakh Farm and we have wanted to visit for a while…read more Today we drive out to the farm, which is just south of Augustine Casino on Van Buren. The physical farm is very beautiful with fruit trees everywhere. The market is clean and bright, full of items I would like to buy and also give as gifts from local farmers. I saw vegetables and handcrafted oils, soaps, native basketry, and the beautiful smoothie bar. I bought the most fragrant kale, plump green onions, russet potatoes, berry with ginger jam and a spicy hot sauce. The farm brings in products from other local businesses. The farm is easy to reach from Indio or Palm Desert. Having organic treasures like this is such a treat. Do check it out.

    I know, I know, there's probably no chance that you're out this way, in the middle of the desert,…read moreon a native land site with nothing around. But if you are, Temalpakh Farm has extremely fresh, home grown produce and some other products produced by fellow Native Americans from the Western US. How did I get here? I went to Desert X 2025 (which I adore) and one of the art installations was on this site. Yes, they make you drive to weird and wonderful places for the biennial art scavenger hunt. The farm site has a new parking lot, an elevated outdoor seating area that is great for hosting company events or parties (as long as it is not in the hot summer months) and even a pond with a water fountain that might double as part of their irrigation system. When I was was there in May, some of the seasonal produce included heirloom tomatoes, squash blossoms, butter lettuce and artichokes. What could possibly be the best thing in the farmer's market is their smoothie stand. This being the palm desert, a majority of their freshly made smoothies have dates in them! Palm Tree Brew (coffee cold brew, unsweetened almond milk, banana, dates, mesquite powder, honey, date syrup, salt) - Okay, a coffee date shake is not for everyone, but if that's your thing, they make a great one. It's a perfect balance of everything, you can taste the coffee, the dates, the banana, the honey. All the ingredients were fresh, served smooth blended, nice and cold. A safer bet for most would be to stick with one of the other fruity date shakes here. Palm Tree is general date shake, Berri Crunch has mixed berries and dates, the Hulk has dates, spinach, kale, carrots, avocado, apple juice and pineapple juice, Green Feather has dates, banana, apple, avocado, kale, spinach and Farm's Dragon has dragon fruit, dates, pineapple, banana, chia/flaxseed and shredded coconut. This farm is under the same ownership group as the local Native American casino nearby. If you happen to be near the area, check out this farmer's market!

    I've been a private chef in Los Angeles for 20 years and have never had dates as good as i get from…read morethis farm.... I've been to a lot of farmers markets in LA but none have provided such incredible dates as this amazing farm!! This is the date Ranch to visit! You can also buy your dates and have them shipped. Don't miss out on this farm!

    My husband likes dates (think Medjools from Costco, Traders, etc), me, not so much. I decided to do…read moresome research into other varieties, hoping I'd like a different one, and found out that there are also different ripening stages of dates: Kimri, Khalal, Rutab, and Tamar (the most popular). I was intrigued by the Rutab stage and started looking for availability in the Coachella Valley where we live. I read about Saralyn and Regulus Date Ranch from another local business; Bread & Flours, and am SO glad I did. May is late in the season, but Saralyn said she had some availability and we could come out to taste and pickup. Regulus Ranch is such a incredible operation (see all Yelp reviews for more on that), and Saralyn is so knowledgeable and hospitable! Their Tamar Medjools are so superior to any my husband has ever had, and I have found my new obsession with the Rutab Medjools (turns out I love them too, just less sweet/dry). We had to come again in June for more. We are looking forward to the upcoming season in Sept/Oct. when I can try my next quest: the yellow Barhi date (Khalal stage). Thanks Saralyn and Buffie, you are the best!

    Great service. SUPER INTERESTING experience. You can have their best shake date drink while buying…read moresome awesome memorabilia and enjoy sitting in their theater learning all about dates. Afterwards, you can hit up their restaurant or take a long stroll in their garden area. 1 shake would have been enough for two people.

    This has been on my list forever and I didn't realize that it isn't too faraway from the Marriott…read morethat I inhabit once a year. As a date lover, I had to try (and compare) it to that other famous place by Morongo and I will say that the Shield's date shake is thicker and more date-intense! They also had date ice cream which I will have to try the next time. I found the shop to be charming with lots of old school toys, jewelry, kitchen accessories and, of course, dates! There are many varieties sold here, including Mr. Shield's exclusive "blonde" and "brunette". There's date sugar, date crystals, syrup, jam, rubs, honey and pancake mix! I was tempted to go crazy! The theater is at the back of the shop and it is flat out old school charming. Alas, no air con. The history of this special place plays on a continuous loop and is about 15 minutes. Well worth it for the history and to appreciate how labor intensive date farming is! Fascinating. The items are all a bit pricey. There is a cash price and a credit card price on each item and everything is clearly marked. I don't mind supporting a family business and, anyway, they had me at, "date shake." Unfortunately, it was a hot June day, 110 degrees, so I didn't venture outside. If it's cooler next time, I'll definitely wander around... I will be back!
