Our sever was extremely knowledgeable about what vegan options they offer . I opted for the veggie fajitas ( omit sour cream ) . They were DELICIOUS! A couple cons for me ; Prices are pretty high in my opinion for Mexican cuisine my fajitas plate was $24 ( and if you order guac it's $18 ) & oddly the water tasted so off to us . Loved the Mexican dolls and aesthetic. We would absolutely come back . Tip ; ask for the hot house salsa & grilled jalapeños.

Casa Blanca runs four restaurants in the Coachella Valley. I've visited the Palm Springs spot once…read moreand the Palm Desert location twice, and I can say the cooking is consistently reliable across the brand. This time, I ordered the carne asada encebollada. In case you're wondering, "encebollada" means "cooked with onions". The plate came with carne asada, sautéed onions, beans, and rice. I don't think it was meant to be a salad, but it did have lettuce and tomato. This might be the best dinner plate I've ever had here. There were nine members in our dinner group. I didn't keep track of what everyone ordered, but each person was happy with their meal. Check out the casablancamenu*com website, where you can find a PDF of the menu along with the latest prices.

I am writing to bring attention to an extremely disappointing and humiliating experience at Las…read moreCasuelas in Palm Desert on Cinco de Mayo. My daughter and I stood at the entrance for several minutes without being greeted. During that time, the manager was visibly overwhelmed and speaking harshly to the young hostesses, who appeared uncomfortable and trying to maintain composure. Despite this, no one acknowledged us until I offered a friendly "Happy Cinco de Mayo," at which point a hostess kindly stepped in to seat us. Unfortunately, the situation escalated. Twice, as we were being seated, the manager abruptly intervened -- placing reserved signs down and yelling at the hostess, myself and daughter we could not sit there. His tone was harsh, dismissive, and unnecessarily confrontational. This happened two times at two different tables that we were escorted to by the hostess and in front of my young daughter. Needless to say it was both uncomfortable and humiliating. I have never experienced a restaurant manager behave with this level of disrespect toward a guest, especially a woman with her child. I felt embarrassed and heartbroken that my daughter had to witness this. When I calmly approached him to understand the situation, he responded by stating they had "400 reservations," followed by dismissive and aggressive body language that made it clear we were not welcome. The interaction ended with us leaving and both tears. My daughter said "I'm scared mommy, why was that man so mean". A guest from the restaurant who was dinning and witnessed the incident came out just to see if we were ok. Equally concerning was how he treated his own staff, especially female staff setting a negative and unprofessional tone throughout the front of house. As someone from a fourth-generation family in the restaurant industry, I find this especially disheartening. I would be deeply concerned if any manager in our organization treated a guest or employees this way. I understand holidays are demanding, but being busy does not excuse a lack of basic respect and professionalism. I am sharing this in hopes that upper management addresses this directly. No woman / person and her child should have to experience this kind of treatment.

The food was very underwhelming and nothing was very impressive in taste. I got a shredded beef taco plate and felt like the beef and beans tasted a day old. The best part of the dish was the rice and fresh lettuce and cheese. Everyone did think their food was ok or good, no one was wowed or waiting to come back. The drinks however were great and made to perfection. There was a lot of waiting in between but that was expected since they were probably not prepared to open the other side of the restaurant. They did their best and we enjoyed our time there and had a good time besides the food not hitting. The restaurant had fun decor and vibes so they do have that going for them.

Since moving here some nine months ago I've eaten at a dozen or so. Some OK. Most very good, some great and even one awful. Guadalajara Café & Bar is an absolute stand out. It's my new go to spot. I knew I was in a good place when I saw how many people walked in and were clearly known to the staff as regulars. The decor is simple, clean and you can see the cooks working through the busy pass through. Plenty of parking. The chips are fresh, crispy and lightly salted. The salsa is outstanding with the right amount of heat. It was lunch time and I'm not much for alcohol so I didn't try any of the drink offerings this visit... next time! Between two of us we ordered the fish tacos which were excellent. Also had the chili relleno which, unless I'm mistaken was battered and fried when ordered, not left sitting waiting to be ordered, huge difference! And the sauce on the relleno was perfect. Also had the mole enchilada with it. Again, unless I'm mistaken the mole was made fresh in house and was the best I've had in a long time. The waitstaff was great efficient, attentive and made sure we were happy. And were they hustling! Busy place and they didn't miss a thing. Five stars across the board food, staff, venue... even pricing! To quote a famous movie line, "I'll be back" Sorry no photos, I was too busy eating LOL.

Is it going to change your understanding of Mexican cuisine? Also no. You come here for the setting, and on that front, it's a 500% yes. The place is gorgeous. Walking in feels like you've somehow traveled back in time to a Mexican hacienda from the early 1900s. A very aesthetically pleasing hacienda, obviously. Courtyards, fountains, greenery, colorful details, old-school architecture. The whole place has character for days. The staff was warm and friendly, and the food did its job. Plates are hugeeeee! But the venue is unquestionably the main character here. Would I send you across the desert for the food alone? Probably not. Would I absolutely bring someone here for dinner because the setting is enchanting? 100%
