There was a singer on the patio entertaining the patrons with classic latin music. Now for the food..still amazing! The Chiles Gueritos is their succulent signature item. Shrimp stuffed in a large Chile pepper, with mayonnaise, and soy sauce. Truly unique and excellent. I also ordered two fish tacos al la carte. YUM. For drink, I enjoyed a Pacifico beer. In my opinion, this eatery is an Indio institution. The best Mexican restaurant in the east valley. Our server was friendly and prompt. Our lunch was stupendous. I cannot wait to return.

FIRST OFF, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE PICTURE. This place is actually inside the grocery store. Drinks:…read moreMy husband and I had their margarita which wasn't bad. Not going to say it was the best I've had, but it was drinkable. Recommend: I recommend the birria tacos, they were pretty good. The carnita tacos were a hit out miss. I got 4 and two had a lot of the well cooked meat, while the other two had dry beef jerky texture. Avoid: I would Avoid the chicken and beef tacos, it taste like the leftover and nothing but crumbs. I personally wouldn't go back since I have the same store close to my house that sell the food as well, but for any locals I'd say it's good enough for them and for anyone traveling, I'd recommend they try when I mention just know this isn't a real restaurant type or sports bar as you may think. You get the menu of what the store sells inside which isn't bad.

Let me tell you when our food came out the food was seasoned well, every bite, I just keep going back for more. I also tried out my friends Chiles Rellenos and that was great as well. Don't hesitate coming here and trying out their authentic Mexican food. I'll be back to try out more of the menu very soon.

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.

Their famous yellow peppers stuffed with shrimp; 6 of them. I wondered why there was soy sauce at a Mexican restaurant and the server said it's for the Chiles Gueritos. It was a great addition. They're pretty big and so tasty. If you come here you must try this. Wifey got the Carne a la Tampiquena. Thin cut Rib-eye steak, quesadilla and cheese enchilada combination plate served with refried beans. She loved it! I got the aquachile camerones. 12 of them. It was a lot and probably the best I've ever had. Yum!
