This was our last dinner on our vacation in Palm Springs. I had made reservations well in advance for this very popular place: 6:45 Thursday night dinner reservations. Funny thing is my friend and I ate at Tac/Quila on our second night, not knowing this was the sister restaurant... and quite frankly we actually liked the food here better. This location had both inside seating which was limited, a big bar and a fairly large patio seating. When we arrived we were greeted and seated at an outdoor table. Francine our server introduced herself, super nice, very attentive and made our dining experience wonderful. We ordered cocktails while looking over the menu. Because we dine at the sister restaurant previously, I didn't want to order the same dishes. Though we couldn't help repeating 1 dish, the Taco Chip (so good). We ordered the Short Rib Empanadas and the Cochinta Pibil. All the food came our hot, presentation was nice and all tasted fantastic. If we come again to Palm Springs I would definitely eat here again. Atmosphere: modern, both indoor/patio seating. Service: excellent. Food: very good.
We found this place coming from the airport and were really please. The tacos were delicious and 2 was the perfect size. The guacamole and chips were flavorful and a great starter. Their drinks were refreshing in such hot weather too. This is a pretty small area so it's mostly outside seating but it is covered and there are fan misters.
We happen to be staying downtown Palm Springs for work and surprisingly found this hidden gem. It was within walking distance from our hotel which was a huge plus. It's June in Palm Springs, so it was hot but we loved this place so much. We stopped in on a whim and were pleasantly surprised by the lovely patio, with lots of beautiful greenery, fans and misters going strong. The tables were put together nicely. We enjoyed the food throughly. We were feeling adventurous, so we let our waiter help decide for us lol. It was fun and yum rolled into one. We will definitely be back when in the area.
Every time we come to PS we like to try new places and this time we thought lets give this a shot because of all the rave reviews . The server was fast and knowledgeable and delivered great service when we needed it we sat on the patio outside and had a fan with a mister on it so it made it a little more bearable with the heat. 1. squash blossoms 3/5 expecting a little bit more from them, especially with the price tag. They were good just didn't think they were $18 good . 2 shrimp ceviche 3/5 piled high with shrimp, just missing the juices also had to ask for additional tostadas because not enough on plate. 3. Osso bucco 3/5 good but not great !! Tasted like it was cooked the day before , dry in texture . My son ordered the trio of quesadillas and it was good but meat had a weird texture almost like it was boiled then cooked . 4. Shrimp fajitas 4/5 wife said these were good and i have to admit the refried beans were delicious . Really wanted to love this place but honestly after eating their it was OK and the price tag was steep with three nonalcoholic drinks, It came out almost $200. Tried to eat the leftover quesadilla later that night and the tortilla was so hard. It was almost inedible
Our favorite dinner spot we have found in Palm Springs. Our server Nenad was amazing, gave great recommendations, and went above and beyond to make our dinner memorable. We started with the squash blossoms which were great and then ordered the lobster tail tacos and the carne asada plate. The portions were very generous while also having great flavors. We finished our meal with the churro ice cream sandwich which was also really good. Can't wait to come back next time we are in town!
The atmosphere is striking and elegant. With the majority of the restaurant being outdoor seating in about 12 seats at the bar is very intimate. Lots of outdoor fans and lush greenery keeping it quiet and the sense of it being cool which is much appreciated in the Desert. Gorgeous view of the mountain, greater knowledgeable staff delicious food. Behind the bar is a striking red abstract design that glows at night, so I would recommend experiencing it after the sun goes down or at sunset. Lots of striking art and reasonable pricing.
First time here & it was so amazing! Yes we made a reservation and we sat outside. The weather was perfect. The umbrellas were perfect. The misters were perfect and the service was perfect. Zoe was our waitress and she was sweet and on it! Also, our food was so delicious. We had some appetizers and tacos and even some dessert. Can't wait to come back.!
The food here is so delicious! I had the carne asada plate and the grilled shrimp tacos. Everything was so flavorful and tasty. The meat portions were plentiful. For drinks, I tried the jamaica margarita and lychee pisco sour. I liked the pisco sour more because you can really taste the lychee flavor. It was sweet and refreshing. Majority of the seating is outside. Inside seating is only at the bar. Service was friendly too. Definitely will be coming back!
Finally had the opportunity to try Clandestino and let me tell you it did not disappoint. I had been wanting to try this place for a while and enjoyed it very much. We ordered the margarita flight, and each one was unique and distinct, we enjoyed them very much. As an appetizer, we started with the calabacita flowers which were light and flavorful. I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas and they were so good, plenty of chicken and the mole was right on point. I found my meal absolutely delicious and plentiful. My boyfriend had the chili relleno which he devoured and said it was excellent. The service was great, very professional and helpful. The nice thing was when we arrived, we were seated right away. The place is decorated beautifully, very well appointed with a nice vibe and ambiance! I highly recommend Clandestino! The food is fresh and one can taste that each dish is thoughtfully prepared.
We loved this place! Only outside seating unless you sit at the bar. Plenty of shade and heaters for evening. We each had a pale ale, boom town, which was decent. Chips and salsa were nice. Salsa was not very spicy, but we didn't ask if they had a spicier version. I had the carnitas plate. It was the best carnitas I have ever had! So flavorful and tender. I ate the first helping with a homemade corn tortilla but after that I just ate the steak so as to not dilute the flavor. My husband had the cochinita pibil, also very good and the helping was huge. You can't go wrong with either of those dishes. Our server was great. An all-around exceptional meal!
I'm blessed to be Mexican and live in a place with truly wonderful Mexican food, so I'm always a little skeptical when someone recommends a "really good" Mexican spot in another city -- but if someone vouches for it, I'll always give it a try. Clandestino was recommended to us, so we decided to walk in. There was a long line, but we opted for bar seating and were seated fairly quickly. We ordered some apps and drinks, and they were pretty good. You can always tell a good Mexican restaurant by the quality of the tortilla -- that's my personal test -- and theirs passed. We had the tacos and empanadas and enjoyed both. The food was fresh, hot, and the salsa was solid. The staff was friendly, and the vibe was dark, moody, and distinct with lots of red and black. Overall, I'd recommend it. I gave it a 4 because it wasn't the best Mexican food I've ever had, but it was definitely good. You'll need to find street parking, and I'd recommend getting reservations if you're coming on a weekend and want a table.
Everything about this place was amazing. The restrooms were cute, the bartenders/waiters were very friendly and attentive and the food had me raving with every single bite I took! As a vegetarian for almost 20 years, I truly appreciate all the vegan and vegetarian options they have here. It was so hard to choose what to order because I wanted to try it all. We started with the taco chips, which were better than I could have imagined. Normally soyrizo has a pretty distinct taste but it was not overpowering in this dish. In fact I could only taste the beans and this tasted just like the 99 cent tacos from Jack in the box! And I mean that as a compliment! Obviously I haven't had those tacos in years, but from what I can remember these tasted pretty similar and I was in heaven! Those were my favorite tacos back in the day and I could have ordered these taco chips several times and I would have been satisfied. For my entree, I got the cauliflower mole and I honestly don't even know what mole is supposed to even taste like but this was also amazing! And so filling! My boyfriend got the carne asada plate and said his dish was also really good. His came with a side of guacamole he shared with me and even that had me moaning with each bite. We shared a side of the Mexican corn which was also plentiful. I'm surprised at how well the portion sizes are. I was expecting smaller portions as most nice places tend to give at higher prices, but the portions were perfect here. Even though we were full, we ordered the choco flan and the churro ice cream sandwich for dessert. Also portioned nicely! I don't like chocolate but I tried the flan part of my boyfriend's dessert and it was, once again, to die for. My churro ice cream was superb. I honestly cannot stop raving about this place and want to go back already. I recommend making a reservation here as most seating is outside. Luckily when we got there, plenty of bar seats were open so we got to sit there, otherwise the wait would have been an hour. They have little blankets at the bar seats as well which I really appreciated as I was in shorts that night and it was pretty chilly for me. I recommend this restaurant 1000%, and even more so if you're a vegan or vegetarian!

Had friends visiting from out of town, so we decided to try Clandestino since we love its sister restaurant, Tac/Quila. Happy to say it did not disappoint! The margarita flight is a must--so much fun and easily one of the highlights of the meal. We also loved the beer tempura avocado bites, which were crispy, creamy, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the trio of quesadillas with carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas. The carne asada and al pastor were packed with flavor, while the carnitas was good but not quite as memorable. My friends had the Mexican ossobuco and enmoladas, and both were big hits. Friendly service, great food, amazing cocktails, and easy parking with the free downtown Palm Springs parking structure nearby. We'll definitely be back! read more
We came here for an anniversary dinner and it was amazing!!! The vibe is to sit outside with the misting fans and get some refreshing drinks! I got a watermelon lemonade... so gooood!! My wife got a margarita with Tajín and chamoy that she also loved!! The servers were so great, I want to be friends with them and have them join us! Lol they were so nice and attentive! From the servers, the food runners and even the bussing people they were all wonderful. The food though... my gosh. I wish I could have more!!! We got the squash appetizer that is absolutely Devine!!! And then we shared the coconut shrimp tacos with the jicama tortilla. Omg what a refreshing coombo!!!! The jicama as the tortilla threw me off, but the flavors all together had me licking my fingers and wanting more!!! And we were too full to have dessert, so we got it to go and I will say the arrows con leche was so gooood! The texture of the almonds and raisins in it really gave it a good bite and taste!! All in all, we will be back and very soon!!!! read more

I ordered the coconut shrimp, BOMB! It came with rice and beans and it was amazing. I Also ordered the crab and shrimp cakes, very good. Highly recommend that, it came with two and the size was just right. The food was freshly prepared and hot! The customer service was excellent and everyone was friendly. The environment and ambiance was my favorite of all restaurants I visited while in Palm Springs. They had fans blowing, the bar was amazing and the drinks were wonderful! read more

My husband and I came by for dinner on a Monday night, last minute reservation that we were early for and the hostess very kindly sat us early! The food from the beginning was phenomenal. We started with short rib empanadas and the calamari which was so good, I forgot to take a picture of! Huge portion for the calamari, this was our top favorite! The empanadas were nicely filled with a little bit of cheese, I personally would have liked more but the accompanying sauce was the perfect dip. For our main, we shared the lamb shank that was so tender it fell off the bone with just our forks. The dish comes with three tortillas which isn't enough for the meat but the lamb is the real star so no complaints! We both had the "Te Enamoré" cocktail which was so yummy, we ordered it twice! Strongly recommend, we'll be stopping by next time we're in the area! read more

On vacay and was looking for a first night's dinner, we came across Clandestino, I'm so happy we did. Food was actually so worth its price. I got 2 chicken tacos + rice & beans. Absolute yumness. Nice soft lighting outdoor dining, even in the heat, they had mister fans all over. Service was actually TOP TIER. We were served by this gentleman with blonde hair, pierced ears and tattoos. He was such a joy, I wish I got his name, but he was so positively attentive. We felt so fulfilled by him and the following staff refilling our waters without asking! Soda refills without asking! Even offered my little one her own water cup with a straw. Water was great too, not your general tap. Just overall amazing and would definitely recommend this place over and over. Thank you, staff for handling us with care from start to finish! :)) read more

Wow. We are locals and eat out a lot. Clandestino is a staple for us and I get their ahi tuna salad a lot. The salad is $26 BEFORE tax and tip (we are always generouswhen tipping). Tonight was probably a deal breaker for me. It was takeout and I weighed the tuna at home on my food scale. See pictures: 2.8 Oz (81 grams). For $26. I guess we are expected to pay over $60 for two salads to get a standard amount of protein in one meal now. read more
We came here because it had very good reviews and we were excited to try it while we were in Palm springs. We made reservations which really helped because they were super busy. The menu looked incredible but I decided to go with chicken tacos and the "moody sister " drink from the cocktail menu. Our server was kind and funny (Francis) ands was very attentive. The mood was fun and the vibes were excellent! Where this place lost stars for me was the cost of the food to the portion size. Essentially I paid $19 for 2 tacos and $18 for a cocktail. Living in California; I've had the privilege of having really delicious tacos; however, this place just wasn't it for me. The number of better tasting tacos I can get elsewhere for $19 is quite high, so I don't think I'll be coming back. Very overpriced for "meh" tasting tacos. I can't speak on the rest of the food items because I didn't try them. read more
Clandestino is one of Palm Springs best kept restaurant secret! My colleague and I had a business dinner and the waiter was very kind and professional. We asked him for recommendations and he gave us some excellent choices! The enchiladas melted in my mouth and the fajitas were soft and very flavorful. It's an outside restaurant and they have misters and umbrellas so it's a great vibe there. I will definitely be going back there next time I visit Palm Springs! read more
Clandestino is an awesome spot for a great food experience! First off, big shout out to David, we sat at the bar and made the dinner even better with great recommendations and talking up the food and drink menu! The steak nachos are amazing! The steak is tender and dish is packed with fresh ingredients. The short rib empanadas are also a must get. Crispy on the outside and tender, shredded short rib on the inside. This is a great, must stop at spot in Palm Springs! read more
We had a reservation but got there early. The hostess got us seated right away. Ambience was great outdoors and though it was winter the heaters made it nice and cozy. The lighting was also beautiful. The drinks were amazing. Food was great. We had our dog with us and they accommodated him too. I would definitely recommend this place. We were celebrating a birthday but didn't mention it to them at all. They somehow sensed and got us a wonderful dessert complimentary. Our server was very attentive and really made sure we were comfortable. We also got the blonde beer, Arnold Palmer and Jamaica read more
Very strong 4 and I could easily justify giving it a 5. Parking- some street parking but your best bet would be to park in the structure by the museum since it is a short walk Location- beautiful with mostly outside seating and dog friendly Staff- superb Food/drink- sadly, no complimentary chips and salsa; we all got margarita options and agreed they tasted great; decent variety of food options to satisfy even picky eaters; we ordered the steak fajitas, steak nachos, shrimp enchiladas, and carne en su jugo...all were good to great with the enchiladas and nachos being our favorites *ok, so why not a 5...prices are too high with drinks running about $17 and a flight I think $25 and all the food prices were also high but just way too much mark up on the alcohol read more
This is definitely not on the main boulevard - great! As you can see from my pic, there is a nice view of Mount San Jacinto. Their outdoor patio is very calming, and their elegant approach is soothing - a nice respite from the hustle and bustle on the main boulevard. We started to unwind with a few of their Margaritas - there's 7 great selections to choose from. This gave us the chance to unwind, enjoy the view and go over their menu. While they have several upscale delights, we kept it simple and choose their Street Tacos. Unfortunately, my pics didn't do justice to the meats (carnitas and chicken) in the tacos. Both were super tender and richly flavored. The side of pico was fresh and vibrant, while the rice and beans were okay. Definitely a great find for an enjoyable lunch. read more
Came here with some friends after a day trip to the tramway. We all really liked the outdoor seating, which is surrounded by a garden that gives you some privacy from the somewhat barren lot next to the restaurant. Felt like we were dining in an oasis. Our waiter was fantastic, very proactive with addressing our needs and he easily matched our table's energy. I LOVED the shrimp ceviche. Perfect amount of citrus, solid portion to share as an appetizer with the table, and fresh tasting shrimp. Only suggestion would be to replace the tostadas with a side of chips. Additionally, other similar restaurants would start off with some complementary chips and salsa, so it felt like that was missing here. The carne asada plate was good, although I don't think my steak was medium rare as requested. Good food, but nothing to write home about. Next time, I'll probably shoot for a different entree. My friends ordered various tacos and they all enjoyed them. Overall a great place to go for a bite at any time of day for excellent service and a beautifully put together environment. read more
Tucked away in a corner is this really trendy restaurant with chill and cool ambience. I was at palm springs for a work conference and randomly found this gem on Yelp. It was the perfect ending to a long weekend! The cocktails were 10/10. The bartender got a heavy hand which I did not mind at all that day especially. Every bite was delicious and if the spot was close to me I would come there and try all the dishes. The server I had was very attentive and kind. I sat outside and it was the perfect combination of cool breeze and sun(but mind you this was in the winter). I will defiantly be coming back again if I'm in town! read more

This is the perfect restaurant experience! Amazing food, the 2 of us shared the squash blossoms, delicious! The empanadas definitely get! The cauliflower taco is a foodie must try. And then we finished it with chicken enchiladas. The sauces are very aromatic and flavorful. The service is super friendly like the Homie that just wants to bring you a drink and the ambience is upscale without being too bougie. read more

Great place to enjoy a nice spin on Mexican food. I will definitely be back. The server and all staff were very friendly knowledgeable and overall amazing. It was during the Marlyn Monroe event and there were many Marlyn's everywhere. Great patio setting to enjoy the outside warm weather. A fun place to relax and eat some great food. read more
Went for a bachelorette dinner and it was the perfect place!! Pros -low light nice outdoor seating to enjoy a warm summer night -accommodating for a group of 11 -food was delicious -right next to the huge Marilyn Monroe statue -walking distance to downtown I ordered the steak nachos and they were amazing!! Highly recommend this restaurant for a large group or intimate dinner. read more
Clandestino absolutely delivered yet again. Insanely delicious with so many incredible options, and they're super vegan and allergy-friendly which makes it easy to enjoy everything without worrying about ingredients. I was able to get a carne plate made without soy sauce and it was glorious. The shrimp fajitas were amazing, the lobster tail tacos were otherworldly, and the ceviche was meaty and unbelievably fresh. The crab & shrimp cakes were superb. Add in amazing service and a great vibe and it's an easy 10/10. read more

I saw so many high reviews for this restaurant and was excited to check it out, but unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the hype -- and felt overpriced for what it was. The entrance is beautiful, almost like walking through a garden, and the space itself is lovely with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating plus a bar inside. I ordered the beef empanadas, carne asada tacos, and a cucumber margarita. The drink was good but a bit too strong for my taste. The empanadas were just okay, and while the tacos were tasty, nothing really stood out. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but the food and drinks didn't justify the price in my opinion. read more

We came here for a late dinner on a Saturday night without reservations. We were told it would be about 30 minute wait and we agreed to wait. Well, 30 minute was more like 8 minutes, lucky us. I ordered Pozole (verde) and it was delicious absolutely amazing! It was good enough that I would come back just for the pozole. The wife ordered shrimp tacos and said they were delicious. We each ordered one drink and skipped on dessert. Nice ambiance here for a date night but our table was suspiciously close to two gals sitting to our left. We might as well have been sharing one table since we were that close but that was my one gripe. Staff were nice and helpful. We will be coming back here next time we are in town. read more

My dinner from Cladestino was very good, my first meal in Palm Springs! The fried squash blossoms are a must-try, squash flowers stuffed with Oaxaca cheese, deep-fried, and served with a squash and corn salad. Such an interesting dish. The short rib empanadas and chimichangas also came with a really good sauce. Staffs are nice, good services and the restaurant with nice decor. read more
Friendly and attentive service, almost all tables are outside, which if the weather is nice I'm sure it's pleasant, this evening was windy and a little on the chilly side, they have heat lamps but the kind with vertical flames and not necessarily that warm. We had the prix fixe, which had plenty of options, we tried chicken nachos (huge), squash blossoms (cheesy) to start, followed by the carne asada and salmon entrees, washed down with a bottle prosecco. Extensive drink menu and reasonably priced wines. We also tried 2 desserts. Churros and ice cream and cake. Overall a solid meal, super filling. read more
