Once we got those though, things stayed flowing more quickly - We had a birthday in our group, and the team was so kind to bring out a birthday cheesecake and sparkler. Food and Drinks: - Enchiladas: served with either green or red sauce. FYI that the red sauce here is mole, and not regular red sauce. - Margarita: lots of flavors and can choose between frozen or on the rocks - Fish tacos: pretty big size and tasty - Soups: check out the last page of the menu for the soups. I feel like most restaurants I've been to only have albondigas soup, but they had a whole section on soup Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via a small parking lot (if full, there is a parking lot next door) - Good for small and large groups - Family-friendly

Great choice birthday girl! We ordered the 4 person tray and it did not disappoint. The portion was fabulous for our celebration crew and not to mention the service!

The flavor of the "HOT" cajon on our food was phenomenal. Not truly hot in my eyes but the flavor was delicious.

Servers walk past you and don't offer or ask anything. Expect to wait 10-15 minutes after you finish for them to acknowledge you and finally get your bill taken care of. If this is how it is in the Summer with no more than 20 people dining, I wonder how they'll do when season arrives and there's 60-80 people dining at once. Service is all about enthusiasm and making people feel invited to come back over and over again. Hope this gets fixed as I'd like to try this place and give it another shot.

5 stars on service, atmosphere and food. 6 stars on the margaritas!…read more Dined here for a late lunch/early dinner and were welcomed by Pablo, the multi-tasking bartender, who invited us to sit anywhere. We picked a corner window table and were served immediately with cold water and the complimentary chips and salsas. The chips are fresh and dusted with a paprika/salt powder. The salsas are outstanding. One a bit spicier than the other but nearly impossible to choose a favorite. We ordered the chicken and steak fajita combination with black beans and rice with corn tortillas. The fajita arrives on a sizzling cast iron skillet with generous amounts of grilled onions and carmelized red peppers. We rounded our order out with their house guacamole. The guacamole, itself, could have used a bit more salt but the perfectly salted chips helped solve that. The margaritas are dangerously good. And the mix they use tastes fresh and house made. I loved that these were served with dehydrated lemon wheels and a sprig of thyme. Pablo took excellent care of us and we will 100% return.

Was craving enchiladas and this came up as a suggestion on Yelp…read more Service was friendly and quick, I will say the Chavela deserves a five star rating. I had the chicken enchiladas in a green sauce. Not a big portion and the sauce for me was very bitter. They do have a very spicy chili Macha that made it a little more flavorful. My husband had an enchilada and a shredded beef taco. Not a fan of the enchilada sauce, but the taco was very good. Would I come here again? Probably not but the service was excellent.

This location is part of a strip mall with plenty of parking out in the lot. There's a pretty massive patio and outside bar area with seating which wasn't utilize as it was majorly hot outside. They did have mister to believe. We of course sat inside. When we walked in, there was no one dining as the only other patron had just finished and walked out. That in-between lunch time. It was one of those things, do we stay or do we leave.... The waitress that was working that afternoon, Michelle was the sweetest. So welcoming and friendly which is alway a good sign. As it was our first time here, she gave us a thoughtful breakdown of everything. Good customer service if I do say so. Menu, if you want seafood, this is your place. They had specials that go on all day with a good list of about 8 or so items to choose from. Lunch specials were also offered and then you have the main menu. Alcohol was also on the list. There's also a big menu along the board if you were waiting in line to order. Everything is done at the counter and food will be brought out to you when ready. They also have a soda station for your helping and the condiments are set aside there too. Menu did have a good selections of items. But limited on their pastas, which probably a given as it's a seafood place. They only had linguine and clams. We went with an order of the 3 fish and chips from the all day menu. That came with thick cut seasoned fries which were delicious and Cole slaws. The all day specials come with two sides I believe. Also an order of the ceviche which was from the starter menu. Fish was quite tasty and lightly battered which was great. Tasty and flakey which the battered was great. Not overly covered where it basically defeated the purpose but this place was nice. Also tater sauce was also accompanied. The ceviche was decent and came with tortilla chips. Nice decent size cup with avocado chunks on top but it wasn't that juicy. Wasn't that much juice, maybe it was just scooped and drained when served. It was decent. Also an extra side of the fries which were great. Thick cut and seasoned. The service was great and our waitress Michelle working that afternoon was a major doll. The sweetest and friendliest and so welcoming. The restaurant is full service minus the ordering. You order at the counter but your food will be brought to your table. It did pick up during our meal but we also noticed that it was a major go to for takeout. Everything was fresh and didn't take long to come out. There's also the downtown location that we need to try out next.

The restaurant provides a lovely, classy ambiance that is ideal for a date night, family dinner, or special occasion. They serve a wide variety of foods, including steaks, seafood, sushi, appetizers, and desserts. The presentation is stunning, and the overall eating experience feels more sophisticated than your normal casino restaurant. I particularly appreciate the atmosphere here--you can dine indoors or on the outdoor patio, which is encircled by palm trees and a courtyard. It's a fantastic spot to relax, eat a decent dinner, and get away from the hustle and bustle of Fantasy Springs Casino.

A lot of places in this desert serving lobster a lot of it from South Africa (and other place) and perhaps I'm biased but *taps heels* "there's no place like home!" The best lobster is hands down always gonna be the east coast. Sorry not sorry, rules is rules. In addition to great lobster they have Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms and if you grew up in or around Italian American culture, this dish is special. It gave warm fuzzies and memories of making these in childhood. They're light, crispy, salty and stuffed with delicious ricotta...a true gem of thia desert you won't want to miss. They were busy and service was still great. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful cliffside view. The cocktail menu was fun and unique! And our kind server accommodated the birthday in our party with this huge ice cream tiered cake. If you plan on having another birthday, here is where you're going to want to celebrate!

During our most recent visit, we enjoyed the seasonal Peach Blossom Cosmo cocktails, as well as the crispy calamari and Caesar salad. For our main courses, we ordered the braised short ribs and the pan-seared sea bass. Unfortunately, the sea bass did not taste fresh. We alerted our server, who promptly took it back to the kitchen, and we ordered a second braised short ribs instead, which was perfect. While this was a rare issue, we wanted to share our feedback. We look forward to returning soon, just as we have for all these years.

Obviously not a popular lunch spot but maybe that would mean we'd get great service! First impression , the place is neat but kinda shoddy on the outside. We were met with a very strong "old" smell on the inside. Perhaps mildew or mold issues? Darkish interior but seemed neat. It looked like 1 person handling all the front waitressing and cashiering. She was polite and relatively quick with our order of nice cold beer in a frosted glass. A positive sign and the food arrived relatively quickly. Again we were the only patrons that we saw. The chili relleno was meh. Absolutely nothing special . Perfect match to the meh cheese enchilada. Beans were not our cup of tea. Much too blended. No texture or flavor at all. The taco salad with chili Colorado was equally as underwhelming. There was a decent amount of chili in my salad. Sadly it was horrible. Tasted old , dry and mushy. Quite a unique combination of textures and flavors that were not good. Decent sized but could have done with a lot more fresh vegetables. Perhaps added cheese or maybe elote? Really needs work. I have read all the fantastic 4 star reviews and just don't get it. Maybe it's a better fit for the Indio nightlife and not the daytime crowd
