Hidden gem great food and very respectful people salsa and food it the spot way better then other spots

Amazing tacos, we got the carne asada (beef) well seasoned without being salty. Great value for the low price. Rice was really good too. A couple of tacos with a side of rice was enough for 1 person, but they also have a combo plate if more hungry. read more

It was fresh and tasty and the service was very friendly. The expensive ingredients like guacamole and cheese were skimpy in both the burrito bowl and the wet burrito. But, that does help with weight loss! read more

We were looking for authentic Mexican. Our server was fabulous and we sat outside. We shared the enchiladas and each had a taco. The value and flavor were excellent! Although the food could have been hotter, temperature wise. They are still working on their liquor license but still worth a stop. read more

5 stars for service and pico! I've been wanting to stop in here to try their vegan options since I camp at Indian Cove often, and good vegan food is limited in the area. I really appreciate that they offer both vegan and vegetarian menus. I ordered two vegan tacos--large, fresh, and filling. The only thing missing for me was flavor. A signature vegan sauce or seasoning would really take the dishes up a notch. I ended up grabbing some pico de gallo to go, and wow--it was outstanding! I wish I had ordered two containers. Service was super friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Tacos are legit. Salsa is super spicy and flavorful .. The prices are kinda high but its worth it for the good quality. Customer service was good. They're a family business and always polite. read more

Really good customer service! Shout out to Peek for the great attitude! I didn't like the horchata and he made it right with a smile.

This family is so sweet they cook as if they are cooking for their own family. It's always the mom (Lorena) and the dad cooking in the kitchen. She has such high standards for food, I'm from Jalisco and this has a really good seasoning!! Wet burrito is amazing! The place is great to host small and large tables. Tacos de asada, and there are vegan and vegetarian options available. Whether you're a local or you're tourist swinging by I really recommend this place . Support small!! Great pricing on beers and good strong margaritas read more

Food 0/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 3/5 We went to this place around 6:45 pm, the hostess said they were busy and food will take 30mins and gave the menu.. after 5-8 months mins we went to order she said they don't have beans left, they were very sorry and I am sorry I can't review their food read more

I got an Al pastor taco and sopes. The food took a bit to come out, but it was a Sunday afternoon and there were a lot of hungry tourists. Nonetheless, the waiters were very kind and got our food out as soon as they could. I think I would rather get more tacos over the sopes in the future. The meat was a little bit bland. read more

The vibes aren't the best, but the food and service were amazing!! Guac was made fresh, the wet burrito was SO good, and the shrimp tacos were also very good. My daughter liked her Birria ramen, but I'd recommend other menu items over that personally--tho it is a unique option! They don't offer cocktails, but there is a liquor store next door that offers plenty of ready to drink margaritas read more

Solid food with good service. I ordered a Cabeza wet burrito, no rice. The cabeza had a bit of a crunch making me think it was reheated on a frying pan or griddle. Still tasted good. Big serving side. read more

Service was great! Food was mediocre. Expensive and charged $7 for free chips and salsa while dining in. I suggest you at least give out free chips and salsa. Lunch was $40 for a burrito and tacos. Food was not that good. Also salsa makes everything better the their salsa lacked flavor even when we asked for a spicier version. read more

Lorena's formerly known as Taqueria 29 has gone above and beyond my expectations. From humble beginnings in The Plaza off Adobe and Two Mile I genuinely missed them since they departed last year. Thankfully I didn't have to miss the best Mexican food 29 Palms had to offer for long. The cashier is such a down to earth guy capable of making anyone feel welcome as if you were family, and a key note is he makes sure to treat the customer like family and not a consumer. The little hole in the wall off of the 29 Palms highway hits harder than most established franchises that are out here. Sporting a plethora of dishes to suit your every need from breakfast to dinner, whether you're a vegetarian or a carnivore they have it all! I could easily say Lorena's is THE spot for the best Mexican food 29 Palms has to offer. read more

Great food and service! I had the wet burrito al pastor. The rice is fluffy, the beans and tortillas are fresh, and the green sauce is so delicious! Tangy, a little spicy and just perfect. I loved that they put just the right amount of sour cream and cheese so it wasn't too heavy. My vegetarian friend loved his burrito too! read more

First time here, I ordered tacos to go and was shorted on my order. I tried calling multiple times to complain but never got an answer.

I have been all through Mexico and South America and this place has one of the best Wet Burritos I've ever had. The food here is amazing and definitely worth stopping for. We can't wait to come back and try the Wet Quesadilla. Portion was generous and service was excellent. read more

So stoked we found this place!!! Most amazing service the owner and her son might be the most kind people I've ever met at a restaurant. 5 stars for the food and the service. Most come! Love the authentic ambiance as well! read more

PLEASE GO HERE!!! I have many quesadillas all over the country.... This has the BEST QUESADILLAS!!! The home made salsa is delicious, rice and beans are definitely worth the price! The young man at the front was so kind and friendly, great service. Ambiance is cute, quaint, mom and pop store like. Cannot get more authentic than this. read more

If there was a zero star I would give them a zero. Bad food. Terrible service. The worst is the misleading and deceptive menu. I will not return. Jack in the Box has better tacos. read more

We were here on a Sunday night, and they were out of beans and rice and one kind of meat. However, that tacos were very good - carne asada freshly cooked and delicious. We had a variety of tacos and they were all very good. One of us also had the California burrito - delicious. The best part was the service. The server was very kind and provided excellent service. read more

On our way out from Joshua Tree Park, we were out of food, and hungry after a day of hiking, so we went to look up restaurants , and this place came up, so we went to check out reviews, and my husband ALWAYS relies on photos, but the first photo was empty boxes, and we had the dog which we needed a patio, which this place had, anyway we went inside, and was immediately greeted by a gentleman who was very friendly, and helped us order, and we said that we had the dog so we would sit outside, the gentleman said, we could sit inside, which was very nice of him, we sat down, and food came out pretty fast, we now know why we saw empty plates photos, the food was so fresh, and the sauce was so yummy, that we scrap our plates clean. My husband even said it was better than his favorite Mexican restaurant back at home, this place was a gem of a place to eat! If you are ever in the area stop by and enjoy!! read more

I got vegetarian/vegan tacos (love that they have that section on the menu) and they were sooo good, and tasted pretty authentic. Two tacos were filling enough for me ($8). It's a veryyy casual place, which is totally fine for the location. I already want to go back! Friendly staff as well. read more
