We picked a corner window table and were served immediately with cold water and the complimentary chips and salsas. The chips are fresh and dusted with a paprika/salt powder. The salsas are outstanding. One a bit spicier than the other but nearly impossible to choose a favorite. We ordered the chicken and steak fajita combination with black beans and rice with corn tortillas. The fajita arrives on a sizzling cast iron skillet with generous amounts of grilled onions and carmelized red peppers. We rounded our order out with their house guacamole. The guacamole, itself, could have used a bit more salt but the perfectly salted chips helped solve that. The margaritas are dangerously good. And the mix they use tastes fresh and house made. I loved that these were served with dehydrated lemon wheels and a sprig of thyme. Pablo took excellent care of us and we will 100% return.

I had the chicken enchiladas in a green sauce. Not a big portion and the sauce for me was very bitter. They do have a very spicy chili Macha that made it a little more flavorful. My husband had an enchilada and a shredded beef taco. Not a fan of the enchilada sauce, but the taco was very good. Would I come here again? Probably not but the service was excellent.

All the communities in the Coachella Valley have many "Mexican" eateries, representing several…read moreregions and at several price points. 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.

Apparently, the restaurant is owned by two cousins, their wives, and they pour their hearts into every dish. Upon arrival, the restaurant was bustling with locals in a causal setting, indicating that the food is truly exceptional. We had a 10-minute wait, but it flew by as we eagerly perused the menu. Our server, one of the owners' daughters, was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was simply delicious. The portions were generous, and the flavors were bursting with authentic Mexican taste. There's ample parking available in the lot in front of the restaurant, making it convenient for customers. If I find myself craving Mexican food again during my next visit to Palm Springs, Los Primos will definitely be my go-to spot.

Walking in, is a trip back to the hole in the wall style restaurants out of "desperado", the movie, and the first thing you notice isn't the view, but the music. It's like you're welcomed by the band themselves of whoever is on the speakers. Ambiance overall was very welcoming and the staff there is super attentive to your needs. It is a seat yourself kinda place and that's exactly what I did. A lot of people also came in to pick up food to go, which also is a good omen for what I was about to expect as far as the quality of the food... as yes, the food: Indeed I wasn't wrong about the omen... I ordered the chicken caldo, and it had an excellent broth base. Then came the lemon for me, a bit of their homemade green salsa, because it was spicy, can't do spicy well... and it hit great. Hearty veggies, and huge pieces of chicken. Accompanied by homemade corn tortillas, a small bowl of rice and a cup of hibiscus leaf juice (agua de Jamaica) it all was a meal worthy of a king. I left a very happy camper. Not hungry for almost the whole day and didn't have anything better to eat for the rest of the day. Super satisfying and filling. I'm looking forward to the next visit to try something else. But I'm sure I won't be disappointed with the next visit. My stomach's growling just talking about this place. Haha. THANKS!
