    Carne Asada Quesadilla
    William C.

    It's hard to give 5 stars to a taco place. Outwardly, they all seem the same and all have the same menu. But...Taco Jalisco is a cut above the rest. The staff is friendly and helpful, the interior is roomy and clean and the food is top quality. Specifically, the carne asada is the best I've had in the valley, with crispy browned edges that you don't always see in other places.

    Chilaquiles and eggs over medium

    I lived in Southern California for 50+ years and I'm glad that this was the meal I ate before my move to Canada. This restaurant has everything, authentic Mexican food (probably the most delicious I've had for chilaquiles EVER), kind and attentive staff (especially Erick, the young waiter). I'm not kidding. Try this place! I ordered my next meal from here to eat on the road to go, it was THAT GOOD.

    Carne asada torta, birria soup, and posole

    This place was on our way out of Coachella. We walked in and ordered at the front. I got a cappuccino and the birria soup. I also shared a carne asada torta with my boyfriend. He got an horchata and posole and later got a Mexican coke. The cashier was also the one serving our food. He helped us decide what to order and was so nice. He also made sure to check on our table and make sure we didn't need anything. Amazing service and great food. I would definitely recommend and we will be back again next year!

    Absolutely the best spot in the Coachella Valley for delicious Mexican food. The family that owns and runs this restaurant treats each and every customer as if they part of the family. The food and menu selection is amazing, and the atmosphere is so relaxing and clean. In fact, Apple CEO Tim Cook recently stopped in for lunch! Give this place a try when if live in the area or are just driving through. They are conveniently located just south of the 10 freeway on Monroe.

    I'm a fan of mom-and-pop businesses. I'd rather keep money local, if I can. Taco Jalisco allows me to do exactly that. Located on Monroe, near the freeway, it is a popular spot, especially for buses. The location is a converted diner. Though it may not be good for groups, the all booth style takes one back to a different era in dining. The menu covers the typical taquería offerings, including tacos, burritos, and nachos. Everything is made-to-order and made from scratch. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially given the quality and quantity of food served. The owner is one of the nicest ladies I've ever met. She greets everyone and is service-oriented. She'll fuss over you, like you're family. I typically order tacos to take back to my staff. Everything is packaged in a way that all I have to do is take off some foil and it is ready to go! I'm a fan of their carne asada and carnitas. But, the best thing on the menu, in my world, are the beans. They are outstanding; creamy, perfectly seasoned, with a great mouth feel. If they aren't using lard, I'd be shocked. Orders of nachos with meat are enormous and easily shared. Every time I order to go, the owner will bring me a plate of chips with beans, cheese and jalapeños to snack on, while I wait. This is a simple gesture, but it is so sweet and makes me want to come back. Canned and bottled drinks are kept on ice. Because buses do stop here, you may find the location quite full. One thing to note is the parking. The building is shared with a U-Haul location. There are some parking spots in the back, but that is where many of the U-Haul trucks are stored. The lot back there is also full of pot holes. There are a few parking spots on the side of the building, but there are typically trucks parked there. You may have to park on the street, so as to not park in the hotel parking area.

    SHORT ANSWER: Yes, best time off season or off hours as this place gets slammed for a reason…read more LOCATION: Great location, just off Washington in La Quinta, Easy to find parking can get busy depending on when you visit. 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.

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.

The BLTA was exactly what you want--crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, creamy avocado, all put together on toasted bread, and paired perfectly with seasoned fries. Now the standout: the German pancake. Just a heads up--it takes about 15-20 minutes to come out, but it's 100% worth the wait. It's served hot, puffed up, and finished with powdered sugar and lemon. Light, slightly crisp on the edges, and soft in the middle--really well done. Overall, great food, great service, and a relaxed vibe. Definitely a place I'd come back to

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.
