We were looking for something different for dinner and came across Carlee's Place on Yelp. Just a short drive from the hotel (6.5 miles) and we wanted to see Borrego Springs. I ordered the ribs and my wife had a salad and we shared the Ribs. They were terrific! The mixed veggies were fantastic and baked potato was great. I couldn't get over how good the ribs were. I use to think the best ribs i have ever had were in Charlotte NC but not now! Our server was very professional and personal ... ask for Elvia! We will return!

We took a DAY TRIP to Borrego Springs from San Diego…read more We went to the Anza Borrego Visitor's Center FIRST, and went on their short PAVED WALK through the Desert Landscape. We then headed to RED OCOTILLO for Breakfast. It was utterly FANTASTIC, from the service to the food. We had as our server GLORIA. It took us a couple attempts on the LOOP to get the right EXIT. We walked in and were directed to a table by our SERVER GLORIA. We got a great table right up front by the window. She started, by taking our drink orders. We looked over the menu, admittedly looking at it the night before. I selected the HEUVOS RANCHEROS, and an Arnold Palmer. As for my partner, he had a CLASSIC DESSERT BURRITO. We added Chips and Guacamole, made fresh on the spot!!! It could not have been a BETTER EXPERIENCE!!!

Friendly staff. At the time there was just one server and she was helping everyone there. Even…read morethough she was busy she managed to still check on us, get our drinks, and order. The food was good. I do think a bit pricey but understandable since this is a pretty remote area. I got the chicken Marsala and I will say for me it was pretty bland. Specifically the pasta. I asked for pepper and Parmesan cheese and that definitely gave it more flavor! Note: make sure to ask without onions if you don't like them since the sauce comes with them. My husband said the taco salad was also ok. It wasn't a pretty big portion! Steak was good. My daughters shared the cheese penne pasta (we got the full size) and they loved it! It was really good. The garlic bread and bread and butter they gave us was also very good. The place itself was very nice, quiet, they also had lots of outdoor seating. Total for 3 plates and 4 drinks was $100.58.

You've got to try the wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. Lots of bacon on the salad as well.

This is some of the best Mexican Food I've had in a long time. And this is coming from someone…read morewho's lived in San Diego all of his life (and is now in LA!) Service was amazing, so quick to come out with fresh chips and salsa (FRESH! as in they made the chips in-house... rare trait to come by these days IMO). Quantity of food was incredible. I can't speak for the menudo (dad got this) or for the 3 egg platter (not really sure why my mom got this) but $16 for a carne asada burrito as well as the beans, rice, and veggies on the side was such a steal. Especially in Anza Borrego. I would've thought it would maybe be more expensive since it probably costs a lot to bring out the best ingredients in the desert but somehow they have it all figured out. The carne asada burrito meat was top tier. Smoky flavor, soft with charred edges, so flavorful and overall the quantity of the burrito was way more than I was expecting. Lastly, I'm just so happy my dog got to sit outside with us. They have a shaded patio with a couple tables. I think other pet parents followed suit, as this seems to be a hit for dog-friendly spots here in Anza Borrego. I'd highly recommend. What a great find by me. Go me!! This is truly a hole in the wall that needs more recognition. You won't be let down!

The food was especially bad and we got taken for a combo plate that wasn't included in the order but was charged. The chicken tortilla soup was old, meager and greasy with no vegetables included. My husband's albondiga soup was the worst he has ever had. He is now starving because his chicken combo was one taco overloaded with cheese and nothing else. We took the soup back and they exchanged the 12 dollar soup for a bean burrito with an attitude but didn't return the price difference. We saw a New Mexican place across the street when we were leaving so maybe we will try them next time. Goodbye Carmelita's.

The building also has a gift shop and bar. It is cozy throughout the building, specifically, a cabin feel. The staff at the counter were very helpful and patient. I ordered a kale salad with chicken. It was a hefty serving. I did ask for extra balsamic dressing at the time of my order and I'm glad I did since I had a lot of greens. Everything was fresh and the candied pecans added in were delicious and added a nice crunch to the salad. I ordered a side of sweet potato fries and they were perfecto! It was crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. I enjoyed my lunch out on the patio deck facing north east. I had the view of the hills and got to watch people drive into or leave Borrego Springs. Some of the planks on the floors and side rails were starting to show their age or had been damaged. Overall, a great experience at the joint. I look forward to having another bite at the restaurant when I camp here again in 2025.

Visited 2/15/2025…read more This Morning I had to run to the Palm Springs International Airport. On my way back home in Ranchita I decided to grab Lunch in Borrego Springs at, Big Horn Burgers $ Shakes. 221 Palm Canyon Dr, Ste 956, Borrego Springs, CA 92004 https://www.palmcanyonrvresort.com/restaurant/ It was my second time at this Resort Restaurant but the first time after becoming Big Horn Burgers & Shakes. Nice Decor with a western feel and a small bar also. The Staff was super helpful and nice. Service was fast, friendly and quick to deliver. The Menu is small but well laid out. I ordered Their Most Popular Burger, The Double Desert Storm Burger Two Charbroiled 1/4 Pound Beef Patties, Pepper-jack Cheese, Crispy Sweet Potato Strings, Sliced Avocado and Jalapeño Cilantro Aioli. A Great Flavor Combination. The Beef was full of Smoky Grilled Flavor. Was a bit overpriced at $16.00 and didn't come with a side but was a Tasty Burger for a Resort Burger I will try another from the menu sometime. The Hand cut fresh French Fries were very good and only $3.50 Had to try one of their, Chocolate Hand - Spun Milkshakes. Don't know why they call it that seeing it came out of a mixing machine ‍‍‍. $8.00 Super flavorful and Delicious but also a bit pricy for a shake. Beside being a Resort Burger Restaurant and a little pricy this place is worth stopping for lunch if your visiting Borrego Springs and want a decent Burger to fill the hole. Enjoy My Friends.

We had our Thanksgiving dinner here. Considering the price at $90 per person, we were disappointed…read more The food quality just wasn't there. We all ordered the turkey dinner and my daughter was looking forward to the stuffing but it had pork sausage in it, so we couldn't eat it, we don't eat pork. It would have been nice if they could have made up some plain stuffing for us, but it's not that kind of place or experience. My mom's turkey didn't have gravy on it (they forgot), and we had to ask for dinner rolls (they forgot). Also for any vegetarians out there, there wasn't a single option on the menu. The soup to start was barely edible, and the pumpkin pie for dessert tasted like cheap store bought with artificial whipped topping. Practically inedible. If they're trying to cut corners, food quality isn't the place to do it! Service was friendly but inexperienced and awkward. My daughter had to ask for a fork, and our candle wasn't lit. Those little things an experienced server would notice. I'm actually surprised the staff is so poor considering the prices, they're getting good tips! The ambiance was nice however we were seated next to a door which led outside and it would slam every time a server went in and out. The restaurant was only about half full, they had tables set up for large parties which went unoccupied, perhaps they were eating late.

We had an absolutely phenomenal meal at The Fox Bistro during our stay at La Casa del Zorro!…read more Our reservation was at 7:30pm, which seemed like a good time to wait out any crowds. Our service was prompt, and we loved the ambiance of sitting next to the outdoor fireplace with our dog. We started with a Brown Derby (not pictured) and a Coconut Margarita. I was a bit disappointed that the menu didn't mention my Margarita would be blended, but it was tasty nonetheless. Our appetizer of Cambozola cheese with chutney, roasted garlic, and nuts was absolutely TO DIE FOR! We still can't stop talking about it and we had this meal 5 days ago! Needless to say, we will be attempting to duplicate this spread at home. Our entrees of Grilled Salmon and the Portabello Wellington were quite delicious as well. To wrap up our meal, we enjoyed the Flourless Chocolate Orange Cake, and the Brûlée Cheesecake. I have to mention that I didn't taste any orange in the cake, but it was delicious all the same. We look forward to returning to this gem of a resort and restaurant!
