    a person holding a bowl of soup
    Judy a.

    Stopped in here to get gas, decided to try them out I've seen them before while coming back from our weekends In Glamis. My husband asked for a munedo and it was missing the corn . It was only half way full . I ordered a large one and they looks like I got a child's. Although it was tasty it's missing the corn and the large portion that you pay for. Undecided if I order her again.

    Horrible service, they gave me this on a $10.25 carne asada fries. No guacamole just 4 pieces of avocado. Unacceptable do NOT COME!!!!

    Red Chilaquiles & a Mexican Coke
    Emmanuel T.

    We've been here before & the last time I had the machaca burrito that was soo good but decided on the chilaquiles which were also delicious with refried beans & a fried egg couldn't go wrong with that! The workers were friendly & attentive to anything else may have needed when dropping off the food at our table.

    Steak Salad
    Kristina G.

    When you live in the middle of no where your limited on where you can go for fast food. I have been putting off reviewing this place because it's decent. I normally get the chicken salad but change it up with the fried chicken plate sometimes. Today I decided to try the steak salad and let's just say I will never order it again. It's bad enough that usually the lettuce is sitting in water that has to be drained off especially if you're not going to eat it right away. As per usual I had to drain off the water but my biggest issue is the amount of fat and gristle they put on my salad. Clumps of fat mixed in with the salad is something I'm just not down with. Also it is just the pre-bagged iceberg mix. I'm not sure if they just have it floating in water and scoop it out and throw it strait in the container or what but be prepared to add paper towels or napkins to the container no matter which salad you choose and flip to drain, as well as there will be some turned lettuce you will need to pick out.

    Chilaquiles plate
    Marisa T.

    First time here this morning, great Chilaquiles plate, they were so good. The beans & eggs on the side were good too. My husband got a machaca burrito & said it was good as well, although smaller than most breakfast burritos. It's out of the way for us, but when in the area, I would definitely go back.

    Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger with fries!
    Omar R.

    Getting that late night craving, I decided to give Chelo's Burger a try. I got there at 8:40 PM and I did not realized that they closed at 9PM. Even though it was almost closing time, the employees still kept a smile and took my order and cooked it fresh and quick! My first time being here, I chose their Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger with fries. It came with bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, onions, thousand island dressin, cheese and one beef patty. Man, the burger was good and juicy! I enjoyed every bite of it! Good place to grab a nice and juicy burger. Hopefully ill be back soon to try more of their items on the menu!

    Huevos ranchero

    Don't let its location fool you. I have eaten here several times and have not been disappointed. The country fried steak breakfast and the huevos ranchero are legit. The staff is nice and the service is quick.

    SHORT ANSWER: Yes in many ways…read more LOCATION: on the corner next to FARM, so a fall back if you do not have FARM reservations and hate disappointment of being turned away. FACILITY: Small, limited seating indoors with very nice, fun, outdoor seating areas. Love this place. MENU: Simple, easy to understand, great photos online if you have any questions. FOOD PREP: Very well done, like professional in just how it looks. FOOD QUALITY: Professional in how it also tastes... Watermelon Gazpacho was perfect with drinks prior to main. LIBATIONS: drinks and bartender were excellent, fun, and the photo print was very cool. WAITSTAFF: just so nice, and fun making the experience all that much better. We have been enjoying The Plaza Theater so spending a little more time in Palm Springs and this will be one of our favorites places to relax prior to an event. OVERALL VALUE: Good, but it is Palm Springs, outdoors, great locations, classy.. no, not inexpensive but well worth it. TIP: I'd say be nice, be patient, and you will get a table. Don't be an angry rude touron, we don't need that vibe and we see some of that in PS.. You can try for reservations, not sure if they take off season.

The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!

There's clearly a level of consistency and quality here that's hard to find. This easily earns a spot on my top 10 list in the Coachella Valley.

We were seated in Isabel's section and she more than made up for it. What a gem! She was so friendly and very nice. She made sure to check on us often and we had a lovely time at your restaurant because of her. We are giving this review 5 stars because of Isabel.

Instead, she bit into a sharp chicken bone hidden in the salad--something that absolutely should never happen. This wasn't a small, soft fragment either; it was sharp enough to cause immediate, severe pain and pierced her gums. This is not just a minor oversight--it's a major failure in basic food safety and kitchen preparation. There is no excuse for serving food in this condition, especially something as simple as a salad. We trusted this restaurant to provide a safe meal, and that trust was completely broken. What makes this even worse is that the situation could have been far more dangerous. If swallowed, this could have led to choking or internal injury. No customer should ever have to worry about that when ordering a salad. I strongly urge the restaurant to take a hard look at their food prep standards and quality control, because this is unacceptable. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

When we checked in at the restaurant, they proceeded to walk us theough the restaurant, back past the dishwashing area and kitchen, into a small private dining room with an open kitchen. It's a very casual, unpretentious space, which was one of the things that I liked the most about it. We were greeted immediately and were offered a wine and cocktail list. We were also given the evening's menu, which consisted of six courses and an optional 7th, for an extra supplemental fee. We opted to partake in this, not wanting to miss out on any of the offered dishes! On a sidenote, the menu changes weekly, based on seasonal produce, fresh fish, etc. I should definitely mention that I have quite a few food allergies, so I asked to speak directly with the chef, away from our table to go over my dietary restrictions with him. Pleasantly, he didn't bat an eye and assured me that I would have as full an experience as everyone else, just with some modifications. I greatly appreciated this! Course after course after course was perfection and all four of us were incredibly impressed with all of the dishes that were served to us. And as our servers brought each plate, the chef would then approach our table and describe each dish. The attention to detail was not lost on us, nor was the personal approach that this restaurant strives for and achieves. For our final dessert course, the head pastry chef came and spoke to us about her creations, thus adding to the personal touch. And to thank us for dining at T&T, we were each presented with a goodie bag at the end of our meal, containing a mini chocolate loaf cake and a canister of their house-made and absolutely delicious, caramel corn! Before leaving, we spoke once more with the chef and he told us that the restaurant is only open Friday and Saturday evenings and he tries to cap the number of diners at 30 per night, which enables him to have a personal connection with each table. Considering the fact that we had called for a reservation only the day before, we felt very fortunate to have gotten in at the last minute. If you are looking for a very unique dining experience, then I highly recommend T&T Innovation Kitchen! Based on our experience, it was a three hour dinner and though quite pricey, we felt that it was very worth it!

Our reservation was for 12 people, and although four members of our party were running late ( My husband, our kids and I), the staff was incredibly accommodating.

This ended up being a lifesaver because we were short on time and had an event immediately afterward. As soon as we sat down, our food started arriving. With a 3-year-old, a baby, and a tight schedule, having everything run so smoothly made a huge difference. I was honestly impressed that they were able to coordinate this so efficiently, especially during dinner service and for such a large party. Now for the food! Since it was our first visit, we weren't exactly sure what to expect, but everything we tried was delicious. I ordered the truffle cheese fries, cheese balls, and sweet corn, and each dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The cheese balls were especially memorable! They had the perfect texture, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not greasy or soggy at all. My husband ordered the Jalapeño Egg Burger and was pleasantly surprised that it could be made with a gluten-free bun. It's always nice to see restaurants offering options that accommodate different dietary needs without sacrificing flavor. Our 3-year-old enjoyed a plain burger and fries from the kids' menu, which was the perfect size for him. What stood out most was the service. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Dining out with two children under three can be chaotic, but the team made our experience feel easy and stress-free. Between the excellent service, accommodating staff, and delicious food, our first visit to Eureka was a great one. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.
