    The food wasn't tasty. I now see why there are only a few good reviews and few customers in there compared to other mariscos in the Indio area. Our entrées took a long time to come to us even though they were only a couple of tables with customers in there at the time. We had a shrimp ceviche that had a lot more cucumber and onions than shrimp. The fried fish was bland. I got a combo that had Carna asada and lobster tail. The carne asada Tasted good but it had the texture of soft beef jerky. Kind of chewy. Will never come back again.

    It was refreshing to find seafood & other Mexican style food. The craving for Carne Asada Tortas & Shrimp Cocktails was satisfied at this cute little restaurant with a big bite of seafood variety. It's located in the Grocery Cardenas Shopping Center with ample parking. The server was friendly and played our favorite music.

    Found this place on yelp, giant delicious pieces of shrimp and squid in the cocktail with tasty avocado. It was absolutely amazing. This place is a must try.

    Shrimp Cucarachas

    Great food and super friendly service. The shrimp cucarachas were soooo good that we went back the next day for more. If you're looking for authentic Mariscos, this is the spot to be!

    Poor service everything came out one at a time took them over 1 hour to get all the orders out by the time my husband got his order everyone else was done eating while the waiter sat on a table next to us with her child and another waiter chatting away.. mind you the restaurant was empty... probably another indicator as to why we shouldn't have ate here.. definitely do not recommend will not be coming back!! I mean at least come to the table and offer us a refill or another beer.. if waiting over an hour and food coming out at different times is not your thing then this place is not the place for you!! Food was good though at least the coctel and the tower de mariscos the camarones al mojo de ajo had 5 small camarones And a ton of big chunky garlic..

    Nasty over cooked food super bad service

    Recently had my father's bday dinner there . When we got there our table was set up already . We…read morewere greeted with hello's and ice cold waters . Placed our order quickly . Our server was Edith and she was on top of everything ! Our food was delicious ! I will def be back for the good food and Edith's above and beyond service !!

    Just a hop skip and Mexican jumping bean away from "downtown" Indio is a hole in the wall cafe…read more The restrooms are located outside and were kept very clean. If their bathrooms are dirty imagine what the hidden kitchen looks like. A good rule is if the bathrooms are dirty, consider another restaurant. Comfortable outdoor seating was plentiful. Chips are crisp, fresh, and as a single diner they did not temp me in eating a large portion of corn chips. The fresh salsa is one of the best I have eaten. Just enough heat to make you a bit cautious, yet not enough for regrets. My regular is two crispy beef taco combination. If their beans and rice are marginal, rarely are the plated meals better. The beans were superb. My critique would be I wanted more. Beans were clean, meaning not to heavy with lard, bacon grease or whatever they use as a refrying agent. Rice was crisp, light and flavorful. The Taco's were on the small size, they used the standard street taco sized corn tortilla. But the flavor was great once I added a pinch of salt. Service was quick, staff was congenial. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, I would definitely put this one on your list. I will be going back to try some of the other fare, but crispy tacos, rice and beans pretty much some up my choice at Mexican restaurants. Mixed crowd with many brothers from down below the border. Their food reminds me of family style meals. The ceviche looked delicious and I will be trying that the next time I visit.

    SHORT ANSWER: Just an update, but Casa Mendoza seems to be just getting better. Some new staff but…read morefood quality and people here are very welcoming. LOCATION: In Old Town La Quinta, OTLQ easy to find, tons of parking but at times it gets busy so you may have to walk a bit. FACILITY: very traditional inside and out, clean, and lots of space between tables. MENU: rather massive, we usually order the same things so all the other options makes my head hurt so we just go with what we know. FOOD PREP: excellent, always looks the same which is a good things. FOOD QUALITY: some of the best in the valley. LIBATIONS: lots of choices and not too expensive, wish they had a locals city of LQ discount like some of the other options in OTLQ.. WAITSTAFF: very nice, everyone. OVERALL VALUE: if you order the right things, it is a great value but you can go nuts and spend a lot, tourist dollars spend well, upselling happens for those who want it and deserve it! TIP: Sitting outside is great most all year, we don't go out when it is crazy hot, but have dined outside in 100+ temps, we prefer the front outdoor space.

    *Mi Casa es Su Casa*…read more My buddy had a small casual bday get-together with his family and invited me to join the celebration. I saw all the favorable reviews on Yelp and was looking forward to my first visit at Casa Mendoza. Very chill & lively family owned Mexican joint in Old Town LQ. The place was kinda busy @6:30pm on Hump Night ~~ always a great sign when I see this. Felt more like a Sunday Evening. It took an hour to receive our meals. Ordered @6:45 arrived @7:45pm. Good thing the Chimichanga & Gauc apps arrived pretty quickly. The Gauc was Excellente. All their food was very good. But all our meals arrived cold/lukewarm. Took forever to receive our food and we knew for a fact it's because all our plates sat a while until we were served. The actual plates weren't even warm and the sizzling fajitas had sizzled out and lost its dazzle. Because it was still 95 degrees when dinner was finally served, our lukewarm meals were doable on a hot night. Everyone did enjoy their meals tho. I was very pleased with my Mahi Mahi in Garlic Butter Sauce. The refried beans were outstanding. The rice very good...and I made tacos with the 3 corn tortillas. But would have enjoyed it even more had all the food been a little warmer. I stuck with H2O but all margarita drinkers said their drinks were good and hit the spot on a warm night. The service in general was also inconsistent for our small party of 8. The Birthday Boy was a little frustrated and got up a few times from his throne seeking assistance -- such as missing tortillas for meals, water refills, extra napkins. We even had to wait longer than anticipated for them to acknowledge the bday boy with a celebratory bday song & sombrero...and the fried ice cream, which didn't include a candle. Tho we all enjoyed ourselves and time together...a 2 hour dinner at a Mexican joint on a Wednesday night wasn't what we anticipated. Especially with one restless 7 year old ;-) But everyone working at Casa Mendoza is very friendly with great attitudes. Hostess team, waiters, servers & runners too. So that made up for the spotty service, just a little bit. Since I'm closer to the other Casa Mendoza in Palm Desert, I'd go there in the future with my wife, and order the exact same thing. But hope for much better service and warmer food.
