It's made fresh everyday. The staff are all very nice too. We ordered the octopus plate, al pastor torta, a few birria tacos. The birria tacos were our favorites and we only ordered one at first but then ordered a couple more. You get a good amount of food when you order the dishes which is always nice. We even came back the next day just for the horchata. If anything, at least get that.

The guacamole dip appetizer was fresh and flavorful! We ordered combo plates with the following items to share and all were so tasty, highly recommend: Shredded beef taco Chili relleno Ground beef enchilada Chicken enchilada Rice and beans were on point too! And to top it off my husband had the best Cadillac margarita!

After wrapping up a backpacking trip in nearby Joshua Tree National Park, a group of 11 of us…read morestopped at Las Palmas in Yucca Valley for a well-earned meal. It was Easter Sunday, so I was impressed with how smoothly everything went despite our large group. Our server, Carlos, was fantastic. He was friendly, patient, and incredibly accommodating, even offering to split our check into several smaller bills without hesitation. That made things so much easier for our group, and was very much appreciated. I ordered a horchata and the asada burrito, which hit the spot after a couple of days on the trail. Around the table, friends ordered a variety of combo platters, including tacos and enchiladas, and everyone seemed happy with their meals. The food was satisfying, the portions were generous, and the service stood out. If you're looking for a convenient, locally owned Mexican restaurant after a day exploring Joshua Tree or passing through Yucca Valley, Las Palmas is a great option. Support local - you won't leave hungry!

I came here for the first time today with my husband and daughter. Mind you, she is only 10 months…read moreold, and I have no clue why she chose violence today--but she did! We decided to sit down for lunch, and they had some pretty good deals going on for their specialty enchiladas: only $9.99 for two enchiladas with beans and rice. Hell yeah, dude! You even get to choose red or green sauce and shredded beef or chicken. It was absolutely delicious. My daughter and I shared an enchilada off of the children's menu. I've gotta say, our waitress was pretty freaking cool. She was super understanding of the fact that my child was frustrated because she was hungry, and she was very patient with us--which I appreciate, especially having anxiety in public. The cute little shop has plenty of seating, including kid-friendly options like high chairs and boosters. It's very clean and smells amazing! The food was out fast, hot, and delicious. The staff was friendly, courteous, and kind. Even the customers, who seemed to be regulars, were very understanding of the fact that my 10-month-old "chose violence" today. Thank you for hosting our lunch and being an amazing part of Yucca Valley! Guys, if you need a fast Mexican spot, this is definitely it. Enchiladas on point, rice on point, and the beans taste like you went straight across the border and got them from someone's abuela. (I think that's how you spell it--don't mind my white ass!) --waffles2319

We came here one a Monday night and there were several tables occupied which is always a good sign…read more We grabbed one of the two remaining tables and while looking at the menu were given warm chips and homemade salsa which was really hard to stop eating, especially when you're hungry. Food wise, that turned out to be the highlight. Anyway, I ordered the El Guero Soecial: steak with cactus, and all the fixings. However when I ordered the steak "medium rare" I felt that it is at this point when the server should have told me that the steak is prepared in beef jerky-like strips, more appropriate for a fajita plate. But even for fajitas, they are served on the dry side, salty, with a texture more resembling leather than beef. It's not so bad when you combine it with the accompanying pico de gallo, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, rice/beans and wrap it into a warm corn tortilla. No lime sightings anywhere for some reason. Now, the cactus: maybe if you're a fan of Okra or any other slimy textured veggie, you might like it, but I just can't bring myself to enjoy what I would describe as a green pepper that was trampled over by a garden snail. But try this desert delicacy and judge for yourself. Finally, do NOT order the chicken wings. I paid $15 for six small, burnt, overly salted wings. Not sure what I was thinking. Mexican restaurants aren't known for chicken wings after all, are they. Great ambience, maybe try the tacos and enchiladas next time. That's all...

Possibly the best burrito ever! Try the Chille rellano…read moreburrito with carne asada inside. Wow. You won't be able to eat it all but you will try because it is that good! And the cucumbers..... wow. So so yummy Family operated and it feels so homey. Service with a smile. 5 stars No picture I scarfed it

Best tasting Mexican food and very friendly service! ! Highly recommend!…read more Very authentic taste

Decent local place…read more This place is located off the main road near a residential area. This is definitely a place where locals go to hang out. They have a dining area, a bar, and a hall where you can have a party. They offer standard Mexican dishes. We opted for the carne asada burrito. The rice and beans tasted good. The carne asada was not super tender and had a lot of fat in it. So maybe it isn't very good carne asada I am not sure. The drink I ordered was an old fashioned and it was strong. Service was great. I would definitely this place again and try a different dish. Solid 3 star place. Prices are excellent.

This was delicious. Service was so good, very attentive servers …read more I recommend the molcajete!!!! And aguachiles. The vibe was so nice inside. Fair prices. I approve of the salsas too. $7 micheladas were so good and the bloody Mary's !!!! I'm so impressed

Our Airbnb host recommended this place as their favorite Mexican place in the area and we thought…read morethe place was just fine. We ordered the super burrito, the chorizo breakfast plate, and the combination plate with the chile relleno and the guacamole taco. Overall, the food was just fine. However, our refried beans were burnt tasting, which wasn't great. The guacamole also had an excess amount of limes in it but the corn shell was fried and had a good taste to it. The chile relleno was generous in size, which is probably why they limit you to one per combination plate. But overall, we thought the food was pretty good, especially the chips and salsa, which was fresh. There is plenty of parking and this place has a diner-like feel to it with plenty of seating. But overall, the food was just fine and the service was a little bit on the slower side.

They have a breakfast menu that is served all day, so I had the chilaquiles. They were really good…read more I ordered rice and beans on the side and those were also very tasty. They put beans on the cheese. My boyfriend ordered the fajitas with shrimp, beef, and chicken. The shrimp was decent, not the best I've had but still tasty. The food took a little bit of time to be served but it seemed freshly made. They also serve chips and salsa. The salsa was not too spicy. Seating: plus size friendly. They have booths and tables. Next time we stay in Joshua Tree we will definitely be back here.

Best homemade chips I ever had. The outside is unassuming…read moreright off the highway. Inside though, you'll never tire of looking around. Every wall is covered with unique interesting art- mostly animal theme. It's cooler than a dive bar and with quality food. My friend and I tried the pickle martini I read about in other reviews. Glad I tried it, but probably won't again. Espresso martini was delicious. Wild Boar Sloppy Joe was definitely worth the mess. Service was friendly and courteous. The platypus in the bathroom cracked me up. Highly recommend.

There is a dog friendly patio so we sat out back with our pups and ordered them puppy patties. Service was ok; since we were in the patio and it was a holiday they were super busy so it was understandable that we had to wait quite awhile for things (drinks, check, etc). But they servers all worked together and were nice. They grat parties of 5 an automatic 20%, but it's on the menu so be be mindful of that. The food was not bad. They had a special BBQ menu for the 4th, but didn't have the jalpeno cornbread so we went another direction. We ordered a $5 mimosa and the pretzel bites with BOMB queso and split the smashburger. All were awesome. My friends ordered the chicken sandwich and absolutely RAVED about how good it was!! Overall, this place is awesome and we can't wait to go back and sit at the very lively bar and watch some sports!

What a vibe!!…read more Visiting Joshua Tree and had to make a stop here! Options for coffee or a cocktail, what a cool concept. They have cool art work and merch. Staff are super friendly and had great customer service. We tried the Banana nut latte, salted caramel cold brew, Arnold Palmer and a cocktail El Compsnero. All were super tasty! I would add a little extra swetner when getting a tea, but we enjoyed our mid day pick me up! The photo booth was so much fun! We had a blast getting our pics. Just overall a dope place!
