The food was so good and I was so hungry that I forgot to take a photo before I started. The family combo was perfect for two. The churro’s texture was great and it was exactly what I needed to conclude my lunch. I also...Read More

This is one of the last spots open in La Quinta where i can grab a healthier meal before bed. When I'm done hiking late at night I stop and get a black bean chicken & rice bowl.

Ample portions, great flavor and quick and friendly service from a classic Mexican restaurant. Great drink menu, especially margaritas. Not fancy but that isn't their intent. Will be a repeat customer when in Borrego Springs.

They can be a little pricey if you're looking for a family feast on a budget but if you have a coupon. . . (I don't get enough coupons) The chicken is super moist and tastey. Their corn is rich and buttery - yummy! The tortilla...Read More

We got the 8 piece family meal. For one penny they gave you a third side dish. Got extra tortillas for a buck. Very good staff. Pleasant, helpful and efficient.

Not the best. Slow to get food. I asked for my meal made a certain way, the cashier input correctly but the person didn't make it the way it was ordered. This isn't the first time, it's been 4-6 times, and won't be...Read More
