Started with a peach blended margarita and it was spot on. Smooth, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Easy to sip and a great way to start. For food, I went with the spinach enchilada meal with beans and rice. The enchiladas were flavorful and satisfying, with a nice balance in the filling and sauce. The beans and rice were solid sides and rounded everything out well. The place has a relaxed, comfortable vibe, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Service was smooth and everything came out fresh. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in Palm Desert. read more

Walked in the guy looked at us annoyed. We sat down and he walked away with his black booklet down the back of his pants. Looked like it was touching his Crack. We had to order by yelling at him across the room. The floors were dirty. The staff was dirty and the menus were dirty. Not even paper towels in the bathroom. We left a minute after we ordered. My wife told him to cancel the order. The waiter proceeded to scold my wife and tell us he didn't care. DO NOT EAT HERE. read more

Delicious, home style Mexican cooking. Eddie and Luis are both incredibly warm and love to discuss their process to ensure fresh, daily, quality meals. Very nice patio area- very highly recommend. read more

Delicious food and pleasant staff. Good serving sizes. Homemade Mexican food. Enjoyed atmosphere. Will return.

Use to be a really good place. Since Eddie has brought in a partner, he isn't there much anymore. The cook, Riley is gone, the waiters are changed, the food isn't good. We won't be back. read more

This place is located in a newer strip mall. It is a smaller place and it was packed on Saturday night. This is more of a casual place. We ordered the chicken and beef fajitas. We decided to split the meal because we already ate some snacks prior to dinner. Chips and salsa came prior to the meal. The chicken was tender. The beef was a bit tough, maybe not cut on a bias. The fajitas were a lot of food and we got charged $3 for split plate. There were 2 TVs showing sports, but no sound. Plenty of parking in the parking lot. read more

Outstanding menu of Mexican dishes. I prefer the Spinach enchilada combination, and my wife always orders their delicious Veggie enchilada combination. Service is fast and courteous. This restaurant is at a perfect spot to invite friends to share a delicious meal. read more

The food here was amazing, I'm not a big Mexican food fan outside of home, but my gosh this was delicious. We got the chili Colorado chimichanga that IS NOT on the menu however they made it for us with no hesitation. Best chili Colorado I've ever had. The rice was cooked perfectly aswell. We will be back next year for the festival and will absolutely make a stop here again. The waiters were nothing but nice, food was brought out in a timely manner. Inside decor was nice and felt like home. read more

This used to be one of our favorite spots. We would eat there every week or two, and it was one of the places we always brought out of town guests. For us, the food and the service was very good. The last 2 times we've been there everything was just off. The food wasn't the same and the service wasn't great, even though there were only a couple of tables occupied. We'll give it one more try in the future, but disappointed for now. read more

The food here is delicious. Atmosphere is fun inside and out. Great margaritas! We will definitely be back to enjoy this atmosphere again. read more

My group and I stopped by here before leaving home after Coachella and it did not disappoint! The owner was very attentive from the moment we walked in. I got a torta de asada with a michelada (DOUBLE) and it was the perfect combo! AND LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THEIR SPICY RED SALSA, TO DIE FOR SO DELICIOUS!! If we go back we definitely will be stopping by again read more

Excellent atmosphere, great service and delicious food. The carne en su jugo was found in the soup section of the menu. It is a regional dish from the State of Jalisco, and not commonly found in most Mexican restaurants. It was served with tortillas. It was so huge, I only was able to eat half of it. I also recommend the appetizer of chile guero, which is essentially an open chile relleno using a guero pepper. I really enjoyed a dinner here with friends. The background music did not dominate, so we were able to have a good conversation. Highly recommended. read more

I'm in Palm Desert for spending last drop of summer and was craving an authentic Mexican food. Yelp didn't disappoint me when it came to this. Tried this place and as soon as we sat down, Eddie came with complimentary chips and salsa. The drinks we ordered were pretty good, they gave us really great pour. The kids chicken taco was satisfying and my daughter finished her whole meal. The burrito and fajitas are just fantastic, with so much flavor yet not overwhelming with spices. My Mexican breakfast with shredded beef, egg and veggies are just perfect for dinner. Lastly, their salsa is addicting. Definitely not a bad choice to find this hole in the wall authentic Mexican place! read more

Excellent from start to finish. We came for the good reviews and fair prices - and we were not disappointed. My husband and I each ordered 3 item combinations with a tostada, sope & enchilada. All 3 items were fantastic and fairly portioned. My mom ordered the fish tacos and reported that they may be the best she'd ever had (and she's tried quite a lot!). read more

There were a few big hits and a few big misses. Ambiance- it's in a shopping center, next to a CVS- not great but they've made it comfortable considering. We came on a weekday evening with a party of 8 and they were able to accommodate us by joining two tables together. The staff was actually very accommodating but sometimes that wasn't a good thing. For instance, my father in law asked if they had Arnold Palmer and they said yes they could do that. They brought him back a plain iced tea- they didn't have lemonade. And then there's the chips. Oh man they were the worst, most inedible chips I've ever had at a restaurant. Apparently there was a delivery issue so they made their own chips with tortillas- you couldn't even bite through them, they could pull your tooth out with how hard they were. They brought them to every table and every table complained and they mentioned the delivery issue. It was a bummer because the salsa was really good! Thankfully, the pre-mentioned CVS next door- I walked over and bought a bag of chips myself. Which would've been what the restaurant could've and should've done. Other than those things- the food was good! My Minerva burrito was excellent. My mother in law liked her veggie tacos, my husband loved his chile rellano. We might've just come here on a bad night. We'll return next year and see if it's better! read more

If you happen to be in the Fifth Street area--or have the opportunity to pass by the intersection of Fifth and Washington--I highly recommend stopping by a little restaurant that is truly a hidden gem: Flor de Jalisco. Don't let its small size fool you; the authentic Mexican flavor found here is deeply rooted in tradition. The service is impeccable--especially when you are attended to by the waitress, Gabriela, and the owner, Eduardo. Eduardo treats you as more than just a customer; his service and attentiveness make you feel like part of the family. This establishment has been around for several years, gaining renown for the high quality of its flavors, food preparation, and service. Whenever I visit, my favorite dish is the *chile relleno* with steak--a delicious combination featuring an Iron Steak cut. Highly recommended! This place never ceases to impress me. 1) An established venue with a spacious parking lot. 2) A very clean establishment, including the restrooms. 3) Attentive and helpful service from the waitress (Gabriela). 4) Food prepared and served in a timely manner, depending on how busy the restaurant is. 5) Excellent chips, salsa, and *aguas frescas*. read more

This place is always busy! Went in for dinner on a Saturday night luckily we got a table. Service is a little slow, but granted there's only two servers for the entire restaurant. I had a Carne Asada taco and Al pastor a la cart. They were OK. I probably wouldn't get them again. I also had the elote Loco which tasted like it was missing something. My husband's mole enchiladas were very delicious! And the double Chavela was perfect! read more

Dined on their patio on a Saturday night. The weather was perfect. I had the cheese enchilada combination plate with rice and beans, and it was really yummy. I also had the strawberry margarita. The food was amazing, and I'd definitely love to come back and try more items on the menu. Thank you! read more

Good food. Typical Mexican but better than average quality. The place is in a stop mall and the tables were kind of cramped. Service was a bit slow due to being short staffed and having a good number of customers on a Monday night. read more

The food was decent but the service sucked! The waiter was constantly on his phone. I will not be coming back.

Food was good, drinks sucked, but service was absolutely terrible. We walk in and they looked at us like we were ghosts. They finally put two tables together (as a group of 7) and they asked us if we wanted water. Gave us 6 waters and then spent another 20 minutes to then have to go up AGAIN and ask us to take our order. They come over to then ask for our drink order only; which we would like to order food as well to then again have to wait 15 minutes to order food. The margaritas which we order tasted TERRIBLE. Then after everything we had to ask 3 times to close our tab to find out they are asking us for cash for $180 tab... without listing anywhere they wanted cash. Nothing about this place was professional, I would not recommend going. read more

A very neighborhood joint located in a strip mall. Some great food, served in a nice place. It was relatively busy too given the time we were there and that the mostly older crowd in PD tends to eat on the early side. Our waiter was really grumpy, acted disinterested and the service was from him was off the mark. I noticed it wasn't just us he was not happy serving, maybe just having a bad night. But that wasn't going to spoil the whole thing for us. And the waitress serving the table next to us helped us out, refilling our water glasses and getting the check. I'd totally go back next time I'm in the desert. read more

Very disappointed with the manager Luis G. He messed up our order. Then he tried to charge us extra, for the missing dish as well as a soda both not purchased. After bringing it to his attention he removed the soda and still tried to overcharge us with the missing dish ordered. I showed him that we did not order this added dish. And he said well our prices had gone up, but the menus were not updated yet. He was dishonest, to justify his overcharging of a customer. Also, while eating our food we asked for some more salsa and chips we watched him reach down and put his hand in his shoe and sock, for what ever reason. Without washing his hands. then bring out our salsa and chips watching him the whole time, while sitting near the kitchen. And use a broom and dustpan then serve other customers. Very unsanitary. read more

Stop for dinner tonight this is my second or third visit. I had a chicken tostada my friend had ground beef tacos neither we're good. The chicken and my tostada was canned dark meat, chicken very low quality and very high in salt. I don't think any restaurant should be serving canned chicken, especially poor quality, canned chicken when chicken is so cheap and easy to cook I won't be returning read more

Moving here from L.A., I thought it might be a challenge to find chicken tacos that measured up to the quality I was used to. I looked at reviews for other places but the flavors just didn't cut it. While waiting for my car to be washed I walked over to Flor De Jalisco to kill some time, not expecting much but was I ever surprised! The chicken tacos were the BOMB! The slivers of avocado and the sprinkled cheese were such a great touch and was exactly what I was looking for. They have an outdoor patio dining area which I love in the cooler months. I've made friends with groups at other tables who have invited me over to share margaritas! The staff here are so awesome, very personable and they always remember me. If ever I'm feeling yucky with a cold my husband knows the way to get me to feel better is to pick up some chicken tacos from Flor De Jalisco. Such a gem! read more

Food was ok. One of the meals came out cold and had to be sent back. Very busy and service was slow.

I usually can't finish my plate at a Mexican restaurant, but I ATE IT ALL! Enchiladas, rice and beans. Friendly service, not overbearing. Enjoyed the margarita and sitting outside even though it's just in a strip mall. read more

This place is wicked. Awesome local taco shop I grab food from weekly. The carne asada tortas, burritos, and even the Caldos are amazing. The combination plates are massive and perfect after a long run. They make a mean chavela as well. The owners and the staff are always amazing. The vibe is very much family owned, great place to watch a padres game with a friend and catch up read more

Don't let the strip mall location fool you -- Flor De Jalisco is the real deal. It's a cozy, family-owned spot serving up truly authentic Mexican food with heart. We sat on the outdoor patio for dinner, and the weather couldn't have been better. The complimentary chips and salsa were so fresh and flavorful we immediately asked for another basket. I ordered the enchilada plate with one cheese and one chicken enchilada, and both were delicious -- perfectly sauced and served with classic rice and beans. No frills, no fuss -- just genuinely good food made with care. Such a great local find! read more
