    Asada tacos, meat cut larger than normal
    Jay P.

    OK Mexican food near the Cabazon Dinosaurs, if you've seen the movie "The Wizard" or "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" you can go to the dinosaurs for an iconic filming location. We stopped by headed back from Joshua Tree, looking for any lunch spot with good reviews. They are located in a large plaza with plenty of parking, the restaurant itself is also spacious with plenty of seating. My wife loves restaunt style restaurant style Mexican food so she was really excited. Asada Tacos: nice grilled taste but the pieces were cut too large for me and I would have preferred just onions and cilantro. Comes with cheese, guacamole, pico on the side. Chicken Taquitos for the kids: chicken was dry and I had to put some carne asada inside so the kids would eat it. Enchiladas: My wife and mother in law got the green sauce one and the traditional one, they both loved the enchiladas. The rice tasted like it had turned so we didn't eat any of it after a bite. Michelada: Come in a huge glass I would best describe as a goblet. The chamoy and chili-lime on the brim was so good!

    Good "comfort" Mexican food. Beans are very nice, Tacos, good, Enchiladas good, and quac is also good. One day the quac was a little chunkier than a previous visit. A slight note on consistency, but not important. Nice little bar to watch games, a plus for me.

    This is a solid Mexican restaurant. The service was fast and friendly. The chips were light and crispy. Salsa had algood flavor. I asked for beans in my enchilada and they were happy to make that variation. I asked for a side of the hottest sauce they had. I got a homemade roasted pepper sauce, great flavor and heat.

    For our late lunch on the way to Whitewater and Idyllwild, we decided to try Mexican food since my husband saw it had good reviews, so why not! The salsa for the nachos was a bit watery, but still tasty (I ate it anyway, haha). The portions were big! I had two tacos, one shrimp and one fish, while my husband had three tacos. The food was worth it: big and tasty. The staff were okay; they were busy, but at least three different people still checked in on us to ask how we were doing and what we needed, which was nice.

    Beers cold, foods tasty, and the staff is quick and friendly. Easily one of the best spots in town and everyone knows it!

After I pointed out the mistake, I had to wait even longer for the meal I originally ordered. What really surprised me was that there was no apology, no acknowledgment of the inconvenience, and I was still charged full price. Customer service goes a long way, and this experience completely missed the mark. Sadly, I won't be coming back.

Unlike high-priced, overly decorative spots that fail to deliver on flavor, Fuego Carvings gets right down to what actually matters: incredible, authentic food and warm hospitality. The restaurant is spotless, comfortable, and well-sized, with authentic Mexican music playing at just the right volume so you can actually enjoy your conversation. As a massive soup lover, I had to order the Birria (plus a taco), while my wife went with the tamale plate: The Birria: The absolute star of the meal. It arrived in a massive 32 oz bowl packed with remarkably tender meat and a deep, flavorful broth. Honestly, I would have gladly paid more for a bowl this good. The Tamales: My wife thoroughly enjoyed her plate--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The service was top-notch, and the prices offer fantastic value for the quality and generous portions you receive. We can't wait to go back and try the Menudo--if it's even half as good as the Birria, it's going to be a winner. If you want authentic Mexican food where you truly get your money's worth, do not skip Fuego Carvings!

They have a meat counter and their prices are competitive with the meat looking really good, some is in their own marinade. Speaking with the owner he said they would make anything to our request. He proved it by cutting up a fresh unseasoned chicken breast to make a burrito for my wife who does not eat seasoning on chicken. Darn burrito weighed about a pound. The street tacos, choice of meat, ???? $1.00. One dollar on Tuesday nights. Other $1 specials every other night of the week. Here is the kicker. About the same food that we get from Ai..... ssshhhh for $45 dollars for crappy food, we paid $32 dollars from Fiesta. That is under $11 each and we had food left over. I do not know if this is good news or bad: The owner says at end of month they are expanding the building to $10,000sq ft. . We just have to encourage them to keep the restaurant family, and neighborhood friendly. Good Luck Fiesta Taco.

I didn't want to skimp on taste, or authentic flavors. This was our first time entering La Cocina Grill. We were immediately greeted by Janet, she was very warm and welcoming. As I often say, it's that first impression that does it for us. We were able to choose our own seating. Opened space seating with gorgeous art work on the walls. Wheel chair accessible, not crowded or confined. I normally enjoy chili that can burn your soul. However, what they lacked in heat, they far surpassed on flavor. Besides with my diet changes heat is not something I should be eating at this time :) So this restaurant was definitely what my body needed. {IMPORTANT} a semi hotter chili available upon request. My spouse enjoyed the vegetable omelet however, did not enjoy the French fries that came with it, would have rather had either Spanish rice or potatoes, the plate did include black beans which were super delicious. My spouse did truly enjoy the food tremendously. I ordered the spinach and mushroom vegetable enchilada plate which I too requested the black beans, it also included Spanish rice. Although, it was missing avocado slices, my personal favorite, and also a suggestion it would have been more amazing. I must state this dish did not lack in flavor, presentation and overall deliciousness. I will definitely will be ordering this dish again. Yes!, I promise it was that good.
