DAAAAANGGGG THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD!!! I am in trouble working near this place from now on! Was leaving the area and wanted a nice burrito and this places popped up, I always appreciate an oddly located restaurant. Well I got the carne asada burrito to go and ate it in my car and MAN IT WAS SO GOOD! First off this is was BIG heavy and beautiful, the tortilla was crisped up perfectly on the griddle and it picked up some crispy cheese cause I had some surprise cheese crust bites. The meat was tasty the cheese was PERFECT the beans and onion and cilantro. I mean my god this is a perfect burrito. My only regret was eating while driving and not trying their salsa, next time! I ended up spilling my entire water bottle in my lap while driving and drove an hour and a half soaking wet and was still so dang happy because that burrito. COME HERE! read more

We went El Jr Tacos based on reviewes. It is in a quiet part of town, very nice and clean. It is inside of a very nice liquor store that is very well stocked. You go in and place your order, then pay at the liquor store counter. We ordered bean and cheese burritos, I was told many years ago, if a place can't make a good bean and cheese then it probably can't make much of anything else and these folks make a killer bean and cheese burrito! Very large and tasty their salsas are also really good! We can't wait to try more of what they have to offer! The place is really nice, clean and cute. Jr. and his wife? Are super nice and told us about other things like the farmers market on Thursdays to do in the area. We will definitely be back! Also the burrito was even better the next day!! read more

BRO FIVE F*CKING STAR! I got a carne asada burrito with extra cheese and they grilled the cheese so it's Smokey and I think at a chihuahua cheese BUT F*CK! It's amazing man! So flavorful! It's a taco shop inside a liquor store so don't get confused! Order with the deli and you pay at the register! Liquor collection is amazing too! Gotta wash it down with the Tara Fruit Juice drinks they got! I got a guava and it has guava pulp in it soo good! This place is pretty busy with people locally just pick up to go, there's seating outside where you can eat but honestly this place is about the food! Top Tier! read more

Great family taco counter inside the liquor store. You can tell they have regulars. We have purchased from them twice with catering for a local event for 180-200 tacos. Great amount of rice, beans, and salas! They also provided grilled onions, and chiles. They are a wonderful family owned and ran business. It's so great to see them all contributing and provide great food and service!! Please remember this is a taco shop the size of a deli. This is a small and local place, not fast food. The food and service is of great quality! I will ALWAYS support El Jr Tacos! Thank you guys for the awesome work you do and the wonderful food ‍ read more

BOTTOM LINE: Tacos + liquor store FTW! In a shared space of mostly what is a liquor store, El Jr Tacos makes some of the most best tacos and at some of the best prices in town. When I dropped by, they even made a complimentary dish of leftover jalapeño peppers (spicy!!). Staff were laid back and pretty friendly. The portions are pretty generous. There isn't really seating area so it's basically takeout only. read more

Definitely Recommend!!! It's hidden inside of a liquor store so it could be missed. Carne Asada Tacos were flavorful, Birria and Carnitas were delicious. Store is clean and welcoming. Definitely try the salsa... the light green one sneaks up on you. At first your like "ehh it's not that spicy...then boom mouth on fire" but in a delicious way. Staff members were helpful and made sure to make sure everything as you asked for it. Unfortunately there is no where to sit and enjoy your food except your vehicle. But then again it's a million degrees out here in Palm Springs. read more

Based on Yelp reviews, my wife and I went over for lunch. We were fully prepared to tailgate our bean and cheese burritos. I hadn't read that the liquor store charges a fee for credit/debit cards. So take cash. (You order at the counter on the left and pay at the liquor store counter on the right) The woman who took our orders was lovely. The bean and cheese burritos were delicious. If I was in the neighborhood, I would go again. read more

Great little find in a nice strip-mall bodega. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We went in for lunch "Taco Tuesday" where the tacos were $2.50 (I think $1 more for carne asada). Very flavorful meat and a great deal in my opinion! I tried one Carne Asada and two Al Pastor tacos. My Husband had two Carne Asada tacos and one chicken taco. Simple, flavorful and filling. We will definitely go back for tacos and to try their other menu items! read more

The best bean and cheese burrito I've ever eaten in my life. I have eaten burritos all over the west, Texas and Mexico and El Jr is the winner. Only downside is limited outdoor seating and none inside. I'm glad I live close by! Quesabirra beef taco outstanding as well, but the bean and cheese is the star of the show! read more

Worst food I have ever had. It was nothing but grease. The torta was not on toasted bread as it should be, it was soaked inside and out and just a wet mess of grease. No flavor at all, other than the grease it's cooked in. We tried the Birria and Carne Asada fries, as well as some tacos, and there was absolutely no flavor in anything. Everything was awful, and all you get is just something very plain on the meat, no seasoning of any sort, and grease. That about says it all. The videos/images we saw it looked so good and was a huge disappointment. Never again would I consider trying it. Go Try Leo's in Indio. It's not even the best, but its 100 times better than this place and they have decent carnitas. read more

Heard about this place (next to fitness edge) inside the liquor store and just made my first visit (and will definitely return). Walk into the liquor store and go up to the food counter, they have tacos, burritos, etc. ordered two tacos with everything, well its taco tuesday so three for $7! Got the pastor tacos, the nice container had three 4" tacos but with all the toppings and meat, they filled me up. Meat was very tender, all the toppings were fresh and tasty. Three meat tacos plus I got a 20 oz coke all for $9. They take credit cards too. The place was so good but so close to the gym that it's dangerous! read more

The bartender on duty tonight (Tuesday, June 9th) appeared disinterested in attending to guests who were not personal acquaintances. Although the restaurant was not busy, he was primarily focused on socializing with off-duty coworkers seated at the bar.Throughout my meal, several basic service standards were missed:Empty dishes remained in front of me for over 10 minutes after I finished eating.We were never offered water or refills for my friend's soda.Despite my intention to order more rounds, the bartender remained preoccupied with his colleagues.When I requested the check, I specifically asked for the dirty dishes to be removed. My request was ignored, eventually forcing me to move the plates to the side myself to create space.I had planned to celebrate a casino win with a generous tip and have previously recommended this venue to others.

After taking a minute to decide we went with the Southwest Chicken Salad ($16.99) as well as the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich ($15.99) with a side of hushpuppies. The sauce on the salad was flavorful with just a bit of zest, and they gave us extra so that was really cool. It's a really comfy place to eat with a little bit of a Louisiana feel to it. For good food served by good people, this is the place!

Happy we popped into this plaza . We ended up settling at Low Desert Modern Mexican . So many great…read morefoodie destinations if you're in this area . All of them have indoor / outdoor vibey seating . Very vegan friendly restaurant with something for everyone. I went with the happy hour $4 tacos , portobello & shitake mushrooms, squash in chile pasilla, tofu, chayote, green zucchini, mexican zucchini, tomatoes, onions, panela cheese, corn tortilla. DELICIOUS! The guac and salsa were ok , salsa was too mild and guac was too thin for me personally so I wouldn't order them again . Will definitely be back for those tacos and to explore more of the vegan options.

Wanting to grab a bite to eat after checking into our hotel, we found this place via the AAdvantage…read moreDining program to earn extra airline miles. Tucked away in this older strip mall, when we arrived there were only a couple of customers dining in. There's a big covered patio and a smaller shaded one on the opposite side (we chose to dine inside). Happy hour is 7 days a week fr 2 to 5 so we ordered from that menu. We started off with chips and salsa (3 bucks) and it was basic and the salsa was mild. Next up was the brussel sprouts corn elote (don't remember the exact name). It was very tasty, but also too expensive (10 bucks) for the portion size. Next up we ordered street tacos. I ordered two shrimp (5.00) & two veggie (4.00) and BFF ordered four carne asada (5.00/ea). All were tasty but again, too expensive for the portion size. As far as cocktails go, we orderedntwo basic well drinks at 8.00/ea and they were pretty smooth. Otherwise, our server stated any other was 18 bucks (too rich for my blood). Overall, service was great (our server was Juan) and the restaurant itself was cute and cantina like. The food was tasty, but definitely not worth the price for what we ordered (67 bucks before tax and tip). Bonus was 5x the airline miles dining in network via AAdvantage.

The best!!! Brussels sprouts with Mexican corn and cotija cheese. We'll have this every time we visit!

This little spot hits the spot. I've tried most of the food in the menu and everything is good and amazing and it's done with lots of love, but the most delicious of all is the quesadilla de birria with the light green salsa!! It's been my go to ever since and it never disappoints! read more

As others have said, this is the best Mexican food in palm springs and it's from a small takeout only counter in a liquor store. They are always friendly so no need to go elsewhere. read more

The only positive is the decor,it's nice and has a cool Polynesian/mid-century vibe. That's where anything good ends. The service was terrible. We asked about specials as first-time customers, and our waitress conveniently failed to mention the Taco Tuesday deal. Instead, she rushed us to order. We later realized we ordered multiple taco plates that should have qualified for the special, but she never said a word. The food was even worse. I ordered fajitas, and what I was served was completely unacceptable,no vegetables, no resemblance to fajitas, just chopped chicken covered in chorizo and tomato sauce. It was disgusting. I took one bite and couldn't eat it. I planned to send it back, but the waitress disappeared and never came back to the table. I was stuck with it and only ate the sides, which tasted like reheated frozen vegetables and a small cup of beans. Despite barely touching the food and not receiving what I ordered, I was still charged as if everything was fine,about $22 for a plate I couldn't eat. When I finally addressed it, she insisted it was "fajitas," which is honestly ridiculous. To top it off, when my husband asked for a box, the waitress came back after handling cash and used her bare hands,with long acrylic nails,to grab his taco and put it in the container. That is completely unsanitary and unacceptable. Bad service, disgusting food, and poor hygiene. I will not be returning and will be reporting this place to the health department. Avoid this place. Warning Positive reviews are obviously coming from ownership friends.

The only thing is the take out only came w 3 salsa (2 red, 1green) and no napkins when I asked for pack with utensils. Wish I had had the time to come back!
