We were on the search for some beers and Mexican food. This place hit the spot! My fajitas were So bomb! Service was fast and friendly , the ambience is very lively. They had someone playing music and he was great. He had a very nice voice and sang some really nice Corridos. Definitely returning to this place! read more

BANDA IS TOO LOUD for this small restaurant. I'm disappointed. I wanted to like this place. The service was great. The food and drinks were good, and the paintings on the walls are fantastic. Unfortunately, Banda music was way too loud. The music was so loud that it was irritating and we couldn't enjoy our food, drinks, the service or the artwork because we had to eat really fast to get out of there! I love listening to live music while having dinner, but not when it's so loud that it's piercing my ears and I can't talk and converse with the person I'm spending dinner with. Even the servers wait in-between songs to talk to their customers. As a musician who plays at restaurants... I can't help but analyze what the band could have done to make this experience better to help both them and the restaurant. The band had 10 members with tuba, trombone, 3 trumpets, a bugle, percussion, bass drum, 2 singers. They were set-up outside, but the speakers pointed directly into the restaurant. In addition, the horns had microphones. These instruments are already naturally loud. They don't need mics or should be mixed at a lower volume. We sat right in front of the band, and as soon as they started, we moved to the back of the restaurant. We still couldn't talk to each other. As soon as we got our food, we ate really fast and left. I would have given our server a better tip if I enjoyed being there. read more

Pulpo enamorado is great! Love that plate. However, service could be more attentive. My wife got a taco order but the beans were disgusting, felt like they were taken out of a can and reheated? When brought to the attention of the server she agreed that she does not like them either, seems like there is an issue there. Music is pretty loud for just a couple of guests around. Another thing I noticed are the tables peeling off, really bad first impressions, a tv is broken right next to the bar and has not been replaced. The menu is all scratched out of things they no longer have. Very unprofessional. read more

Came here on Valentine's Day, it was not super crowded I'm guessing just a few locals. We were seated very quickly and our drink order was taken. Little surprised there were no chips and salsa, but didn't matter the atmosphere was good. We placed our order and that when the service ended. We could not find our waitress, and when we did she was too busy having conversations with other waitress. We received our food, and it looked amazing. I was really excited since the plate looked delicious. Too bad the food did not come out hot. So disappointed, I wanted to let the waitress know but she was M.IA. I had asked for no rice just more beans and she brought it out the wrong way (which was the kitchens fault). Still no waitress so I started eating, my friend did wait and when she got there he told her and I told her about the beans, she apologized and took his plate and said she would get me more beans. Again, she was very sweet and polite, she just had other things on her mind. We got our food back and his shrimp enchiladas was still cold but the little bowl of beans came out hot. She apologized for the cold food and we just gave up after that. We ate it cold. The poblano and chipotle enchiladas were so flavorful and the shrimp was cooked perfectly to bad they served it cold and not hot. My husbands fajitas were hot and steaming but again the rice and beans all cold. My other friends wife carne asada burrito all hot and amazing. They did give all the ladies candy so thank you for that. Great music, nice ambiance, just needs work on the heat of their food and attention to customer service with refills! read more

The micheladas are so yummy, & I'm so picky about michis! The rice was buttery, & fluffy & cooked perfectly! The enchilada poblano was rich & STUFFED with shrimp and cheese.

Horrible service ! Took over 2 hours to be served food and we witnessed multiple people leaving the restaurant due to the wait. Food was coming out one plate at a time for parties which resulted in others at the table still having to wait for there food that by the time it came out others had either already finished or waited so long that there dish went cold. After all this we asked for a discount for the inconvenience and the servers told us no and we got left with a bill of $200.00. The least they could do was offer a discount. read more

We came here to celebrate Mother's Day. The wait to be seated wasn't bad it was 20 mins. Once we sat down they took our drink orders then nothing... literally nothing. The food took over an hour to get to us. A lot of people got up and left because of the wait. In the meantime whole people are waiting they can at least check on refills or offer chips and salsa. When we finally got our food the plates were hot but the food wasn't. My husband's menudo looked like they had given him the left overs with literally a couple pieces of meat. We had to even ask for utensils. read more

The waitress was so helpful since it was our first time there she recommended a lot of great dishes, she also mentioned how they have mariachi on the weekends so we will definitely go back for that. The food was delicious I was surprised by the size of the tacos and the quantity of the food, they serve a lot. Also the margaritas are by far the best tasting margaritas I have had in a while.

I'm not from around here so I was looking for a good breakfast place and I decided to give them a try. Let me tell you they did not disappoint! Elvia was out server and she was very sweet and attentive with us. We ordered the traditional breakfast and the machaca and it was beyond delicious! Definitely 5 star rating. As we were about to leave I mentioned to Elvia that I'm always on a look out for a good menudo so she brought me a small sample to try theirs and it was to my expectations. With such great service we decided to come back for dinner on that same day. Elvia was no longer there but Betty helped us and again we received great service! I of course got the menudo and my husband got the asada plate. Once again the food was exceptional and did not disappoint. We also ordered some drinks that were very good. I ordered a hibiscus margarita very good. All in all you must check them out you won't be disappointed read more

The eggs needed seasoning, and the country potatoes were dry and lacked flavor, with only a couple of small pieces of onion and red pepper mixed in. My husband had the hash browns instead and felt his breakfast was just as bland. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was relaxed, but we were seated next to a broom, dustpan, and the bus cart for dirty dishes, which wasn't the best first impression. The restaurant also feels a bit dated. A few simple updates, like replacing the dusty artificial flowers and keeping cleaning supplies out of sight, would make a big difference. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but with so many great breakfast options in the area, we probably wouldn't return.

Since the first time we have visited this place a few times and have even invited our family over to try it out. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You order inside and they give you this number where you take to your table and they will bring the food out to you. There is also napkins, and water inside for you to grab for yourself. As for the food, I am someone that loves trying different things in hopes I find something I really like, so far I have really enjoyed their cheese danish and butter croissant. I have yet to find my favorite dish from here as I was not a big fan of the chicken and waffles as the oil or sauce from the chicken spread under my waffles & sort of had this weird after taste that I didn't enjoy much. The breakfast burrito was huge and just okay I think if I would customize it a bit I would love it more and the chicken pesto sandwich so far has been something that I enjoyed a bit. Just personal experience as I've seen so many other really love those items. When I find my favorite meals I will come back and update. I do like to note that my boyfriend on the other hand has stayed loyal to their BLT + egg sandwich since our first visit and recommends me to try it so maybe that will be next on my list when I visit again. Their matcha is also okay, the notes are leaning vegetal and I just prefer a more nutty savory matcha. The strawberry syrup they add is pretty good. Wouldn't get it again though.

The prawns were pretty large. The pasta was a little too al dente for me and the sauce had a very strong wine taste that got old pretty quickly.

I erroneously assumed spaghetti flavored with garlic, white wine, butter, herbs, & preserved lemon would be delicious. Large, tough (& again, tasteless) prawns topped the bowl of noodles that seem to stick together from a lack of sauce. Our gracious waitress removed the dish from our bill after seeing it had barely been touched. Her efforts did not go unnoticed; we generously tipped her for taking the initiative to rectify an unsatisfactory situation. We sat on the covered patio facing the giant rock formation; a unique dining experience, but one that felt Disney-ish rather than elegant. La Quinta Cliffhouse gets a hard pass from me.

FACILITY: Looks like a diner, is a diner, and very nice and clean. MENU: Many selections, breakfast options may be overwhelming but you'll definitely find something you want. Lunch offers very good but standard options. FOOD PREP: Always, very well done for that Louise's Pantry is, they don't fake anything here. FOOD QUALITY: Excellent for this style of food. It is a great experience. WAITSTAFF: We've been here many times, and never have we run across anyone not upbeat, polite, and happy to see a customer. OVERALL VALUE: A bit on the expensive side but considering the amount of food they bring you, it is a fair deal. TIP: Unless you are Mr. Creosote (bonus points if you know that one) for $2.00 you can get a split plate and still have a huge portion. We usually go this way respecting the seats we are taking up.

My husband had the hash browns instead and felt his breakfast was just as bland. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was relaxed, but we were seated next to a broom, dustpan, and the bus cart for dirty dishes, which wasn't the best first impression. The restaurant also feels a bit dated. A few simple updates, like replacing the dusty artificial flowers and keeping cleaning supplies out of sight, would make a big difference. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but with so many great breakfast options in the area, we probably wouldn't return.

Nice off season Sunday breakfast.

I was craving some authentic Mexican food for my Birthday dinner, I heard about this place in the Coachella Valley from a friend so I decided to check it out. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by their host who always makes sure you're taken care of. The place is a modern style Mexican cantina with the Mariachi that is very entertaining. Don't miss out on their seafood its very good and fresh. The hot food is also very good, it has the best homemade flavors you can get. Let's not forget the drinks, I ordered a fresh cucumber margarita and it was good and refreshing. Parna the manager even came out and made us feel right out home. I will definitely be back with more friends. It's a cool new spot to go have some good food, good drinks, and great entertainment. read more

We were in La Quinta and decided to check out Taqueria El Guero. It's a newer spot, which probably explains why it was pretty quiet when we arrived (party of 9), though a few smaller groups came in after. Service was solid! Our server (who was also the hostess) was friendly, attentive, and handled our group very well no complaints there. Food-wise, it was a bit of a mixed bag. Chips and salsa were just okay, not bad, but not memorable either. That's usually the first thing that sets the tone at a Mexican restaurant. We ordered a variety of dishes: molcajete, menudo, torta, flautas, chimichanga, California fries, and camarones a la diabla (my plate). Camarones a la diabla: 5/10 - more smoky and slightly sweet than spicy, which was unexpected. Also heavier on onions than usual, but I didn't mind since I like them. Chimichanga: 6/10 - smaller than expected for the price and overall just okay (my partner's take). Menudo: 5/10 - based on feedback, it could use some improvement. The rice could definitely be better, while the beans were decent. The space itself is clean and nicely decorated, but the atmosphere could use a little work. Some background music would go a long way TV shows kind of take away from the dining experience, unless that's the vibe they're going for. One thing that really stood out (in a not-so-good way) was the bathroom! it could definitely use attention in terms of odor (possibly a sewage issue). It has potential, but it's not quite at a 4 or 5 star level yet. I'd be open to coming back in the future to see if things improve. Parking is easy and convenient, which is always a plus
