I came here for the first time today with my husband and daughter. Mind you, she is only 10 months old, and I have no clue why she chose violence today--but she did! We decided to sit down for lunch, and they had some pretty good deals going on for their specialty enchiladas: only $9.99 for two enchiladas with beans and rice. Hell yeah, dude! You even get to choose red or green sauce and shredded beef or chicken. It was absolutely delicious. My daughter and I shared an enchilada off of the children's menu. I've gotta say, our waitress was pretty freaking cool. She was super understanding of the fact that my child was frustrated because she was hungry, and she was very patient with us--which I appreciate, especially having anxiety in public. The cute little shop has plenty of seating, including kid-friendly options like high chairs and boosters. It's very clean and smells amazing! The food was out fast, hot, and delicious. The staff was friendly, courteous, and kind. Even the customers, who seemed to be regulars, were very understanding of the fact that my 10-month-old "chose violence" today. Thank you for hosting our lunch and being an amazing part of Yucca Valley! Guys, if you need a fast Mexican spot, this is definitely it. Enchiladas on point, rice on point, and the beans taste like you went straight across the border and got them from someone's abuela. (I think that's how you spell it--don't mind my white ass!) --waffles2319 read more

We came here one a Monday night and there were several tables occupied which is always a good sign. We grabbed one of the two remaining tables and while looking at the menu were given warm chips and homemade salsa which was really hard to stop eating, especially when you're hungry. Food wise, that turned out to be the highlight. Anyway, I ordered the El Guero Soecial: steak with cactus, and all the fixings. However when I ordered the steak "medium rare" I felt that it is at this point when the server should have told me that the steak is prepared in beef jerky-like strips, more appropriate for a fajita plate. But even for fajitas, they are served on the dry side, salty, with a texture more resembling leather than beef. It's not so bad when you combine it with the accompanying pico de gallo, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, rice/beans and wrap it into a warm corn tortilla. No lime sightings anywhere for some reason. Now, the cactus: maybe if you're a fan of Okra or any other slimy textured veggie, you might like it, but I just can't bring myself to enjoy what I would describe as a green pepper that was trampled over by a garden snail. But try this desert delicacy and judge for yourself. Finally, do NOT order the chicken wings. I paid $15 for six small, burnt, overly salted wings. Not sure what I was thinking. Mexican restaurants aren't known for chicken wings after all, are they. Great ambience, maybe try the tacos and enchiladas next time. That's all... read more

We have had great food at El Guero Mexican Grill. We love their burritos including the wet style with red sauce with chicken (our favorite). We also love the dry outside burritos with some of El Guero 's salsa (red or green). The staff is very nice here. We like to take our food to go from here also. read more

Stopped in before entering the park on a Sunday morning. It was a by chance stop and I'm so glad I did. They were busy but very courteous to me being a to go order. Got a breakfast burrito with beans and rice and I have to say one of the best I've ever had. I always say if the beans are good you have a good cook, my compliments to them. I appreciate the staff being kind even with a full house and very busy. This will be a forever stop coming to the park. read more

Great quality Mexican dishes. I ordered the chiles güeros with shrimp. Amazing! I also had the shrimp ceviche tostadas. Very fresh and plenty of ceviche! Only downside was not enough tostada for the amount of ceviche you get. It's a lot! Service was quick and friendly. Plenty of seating indoors. Highly recommend. read more

This disorganized kitchen staff just gave away my food to another customer right in front of me. This place is need of serious help.

We ordered a burrito, tacos, and a pepperoni pizza for our kid. The tacos were soggy and bland (in store was delicious, these were barely edible) and the pizza was entirely missing. We got dino nuggets instead. This is not what we ordered. Will never order for delivery from this location ever again. May not even give in restaurant another try. Use caution when ordering from this place. read more

El Guero Mexican Grill - This is my "pepperoni pizza and fries". Not even close. - Mexican Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

WOW!!! They make the chili relleano in house and they are spectacular. Chips and salsa and service are exceptional as well. Enjoy.

You can't beat the prices here! The service is great and not to mention the delicious chips and salsa that keep coming.

food was amazing, was quick to come out, good service! good flan. definitely recommend trying.

Where to start because there were so many was in which this *$60 meal for 2* was a crime. I ordered online around 4:45pm for the food to be picked up at 5:45pm and it was very clear that they made it at 4:45pm because everything was *cold*. However, the fries appeared to never have been fresh. They were so stale like from a batch in the morning or the day before. My husband and I both found appeared to be *fruit flies* or some other bugs in our dishes. I ordered a large sized of rice and beans, which used to be a lot bigger. On top of all of this, the prices are just outrageous for the food. Which I realize is a lot of places here, but this place especially for what we got in return. They also added a service fee which I didn't eve notice until after because they hid it, which I am sure doesn't go to employees. I would also bet, based on the locations of people who are posting 5 star reviews that they are paying for reviews. Never going back to this place and I suggest you do the same. No respect for their customers. No pride in their food. read more

Went there once did not like the food and was also over priced. For me and my son 57 dollars including tip was kind of high is nothing out of the ordinary same food at kasa market is 32 dollars including tip read more

The order came really fast. The woman working was super nice, fast and helpful! Love her efficiency. Came here because another place we wanted to go to was too packed. Restaurant is spacious and is offering sit-down but we were ordering to-go. Like I said the woman working as register, secretary, and waitress on a Saturday night was a super star! Even with the mean customers she worked with confidence and Grace. Told us our food would take 15 minutes and it came out in less than 10! Shout out to the kitchen staff read more

Good food and service with a smile makes you feel welcomed. A little small spot but it's worth it.

Best carne asada burrito and tacos! We love getting tacos on taco Tuesday! Both green and red salsas taste so good.

I moved out here to yucca valley from Riverside and I live with grandparents that keep it old school and cook dinner every night but Tuesday is free night and we usually always come here. The food is great but honestly nothing compares to the girls/servers... they go above and beyond and are always super nice. I'm a server myself so I appreciate good hospitality. Shout out to the woman named Paula or pearl (sorry if the names wrong she told me 100 times but I suck with names) ANYWAYS.... Definitely recommend read more

Food was delicious though a bit pricey (isn't it everywhere these days). Ambiance was fine, nothing fancy.

Yesterday I ate at El Guero Mexican Grill.. I ordered simple ONE chicken enchalada, ONE chili relleno rice and beans...add a small glass of wine.. When I received bill which wasn't itemized...just $31.52....That is way to expensive!!! The food was ok but not great... read more

This place is poppin'! We came here midday on a Saturday based on Yelp reviews. The carne asada plate, carne asada quesadilla plate, chilequiles, and the wet burrito were all amazing. We don't want fancy MX food, we want authentic MX food! We all couldn't stop raving about the frijoles puercos -- absolutely amazing and worth it. read more

El Guero Mexican Grill - Completely decimated this quesadilla plate!! - Mexican Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

Reviewed by a Mexican; We stopped by on our way home from Arizona and this place did not disappoint. Homemade aguas were delicious We loved our foood and the service was very good. There was only 1 girl that was the waiter and cashier at the same time and although she was very busy she was very sweet and the food came out very fast. Highly recommend this gem! read more

All of it. They run it well. Just go n try it! You will like it !my favorite chile relleno and my husband Huevos rancheros are very good. Enjoy the beans n rice! read more

A worthy place to stop for authentic Mexican in the Joshua Tree / Yucca Valley area. Hungry after a long day in the National Park, we happened upon El Guero and found a square meal that left all in our party stuffed and satisfied, without breaking the bank. Chips and salsa comes for the table (the salsa is excellent, so be careful to save room for your meal). Nachos Supreme with chicken was well done. The cheese was a favorite among our crew, as it was stretchy and hearty. Overall a great dish for the table. The corn tortilla fajitas with shrimp, steak, and chicken (Fajitas Texanas) were a lot of fun to eat and everything was well seasoned - the proteins were steaming hot, and delicious. Beef enchilada was well prepared, but the red salsa it came drenched in left something to be desired in terms of flavor and kick. Maybe go with the green salsa instead if selecting this menu item. We ordered flan but never received it. That's okay, as we had no room for it. Overall, the space is very welcoming and the servers are not overbearing. The restaurant had its booths and tables spaced out well for COVID, but of course it's a small space so consider that if eating in. Would stop here again if in Joshua Tree and feeling Mexican food. read more
