    Our experience here on a Sunday for lunch was mediocre at best. I had the tempura fish tacos and my husband had the loaded chicken. Nothing special. My daughter said she didn't like her chicken tenders and did not eat more than a bite or two. I took a bite and told her I did not blame her. Our queso fundido starter was tasty, but the tortillas that came with it tasted storebought. On the plus side, service was prompt and friendly. We were not served chips and salsa, however. Maybe those are only on request since I saw some tables had them? A little unusual for a Mexican restaurant. We wanted to like it but were seriously underwhelmed. It's crazy what little $100 gets you these days: one appetizer, two adult entrees, one kid's meal, three drinks, and tip. But so it is. Nothing particularly terrible to say, but dining out feels more like a luxury today than it ever has, and we won't be parting with our hard-earned money here again.

    Fajitas
    Brigette G.

    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!

    BANDA TOO LOUD FOR THIS RESTAURANT
    Apryle F.

    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.

    Side of beans and rice with the finite  great flavor served cold.

    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!

    The food? Incredible. The drinks? Even better. Every bite was full of flavor, and every sip was crafted to perfection. You can taste the love in every detail -- 10/10, highly recommend!

    Tacos de pollo

    Got some chicken tacos at Riverside food festival!! Great customer service, juicy chicken!! Surprisingly delicious they're super friendly and kind -- not rushed like the other vendors were. I'm looking forward to checking out their place :)

    Enchiladas Poblanas
    Jackie M.

    My first time here & everything we had was amazing! Alejandra is such a sweet server & was so helpful in helping us decide on what to order and she didn't miss! Everything she recommended HIT! 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. But the star of the show was the Tostada Ceviche!!! Hands down the best ceviche I've ever had! Thank you Alejandra - we're from menifee but will definitely be back here!

    Hibiscus margarita
    Gary And Tammy L.

    Literally a PERFECT experience!!! The food is AMAZING! And the service from server Ruby was EXCEPTIONAL!! She is professional and talentedYou feel comfortable and pampered just enough! The Hibiscus margarita was surprisingly just right. Definitely left me craving another! The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable yet casual enough to make the experience epic!

    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.

A warm La Quinta evening, desert air finally cooling off, a solid live duet working the patio with the kind of soundtrack that should make mediocre food taste better than it is. For a few minutes, you think maybe this place is going to deliver on the promise. Then the flamingo arrived. Or at least that's what the bright pink polo shirt on our server suggested. Somewhere between Palm Springs golf tournament and poolside timeshare mixer, the uniform choice set the tone immediately: completely off-brand for a resort carrying the La Quinta name. To her credit, the server herself was pleasant enough. But pleasant is table stakes at a resort property. Competence, polish, awareness, that's what people are paying for. The twenty-ounce margaritas landed with all the sophistication of a fraternity mixer. Sweet, forgettable, and somehow both weak and aggressive at the same time. I've had better drinks poured into Solo cups at parties where the furniture was stolen from somebody's dorm room. Then came the food. The chips tasted stale, like they'd spent the afternoon losing a slow battle with desert air. The ceviche? Rubbery and tired. Seafood should taste alive. This tasted like it had already accepted its fate hours earlier. Sylvia ordered the Caesar salad, and it looked exactly like what it was: something assembled without care, without attention, without anybody stopping for even a moment to ask whether it represented the standards of a resort restaurant. She barely made it halfway through. Oddly enough, the lone bright spot was my chicken enchiladas verde. Solid. Comforting. Not life-changing, but at least prepared by someone who appeared interested in their job that evening. But the real problem at Adobe Grill isn't the food. Restaurants recover from mediocre dishes all the time. The real problem is culture. Or more accurately, the complete absence of one. The food runner couldn't answer even the simplest questions. The service staff moved with that unmistakable energy of people who were never properly trained because nobody above them really cared enough to train them. Empty plates sat on the table for what felt like half the night. Nobody cleared them. Nobody reset or groomed the table. Crumbs, empty glasses, dirty dishes, they just accumulated while the evening slowly unraveled. At a place carrying the La Quinta name, that level of inattentiveness is stunning. And then the manager arrived, or more accurately, drifted by. No eye contact. No engagement. No sincerity. Just a quick pit stop at the table to perform the illusion of management before immediately turning away and loudly shouting to another group thirty feet off as though we had already ceased to exist. That moment explained the entire restaurant. Because once you start looking closer, you see it everywhere. Bird droppings baked into chairs and railings long enough to become part of the décor. Neglected details. Deferred maintenance. Staff operating without direction. A restaurant surviving almost entirely on atmosphere and location while slowly forgetting hospitality itself. And that's the frustrating part. The bones are there. The patio. The music. The desert night. This place should be magical. Instead, it feels like a resort coasting on reputation while the little things, the things that actually matter,quietly fall apart in plain sight. And honestly, the restaurant may not even be the biggest issue. But that's a whole separate review.
