The food was amazing but what really set this restaurant apart was the phenomenal service from Abiud. He was so attentive and quick, our drinks were never empty and he made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy a great meal.

This is the best local Mexican restaurant in La Quinta. Expect to be seated on weekends. There are lots of patio and indoor seating. Limited bar seating is available. Servers are friendly and helpful. Must tey their carne asada plate. The beef was soft and tasty. Mixed drinks are priced accordingly. Lots of tequila choices, but not that many beer choices.

Delicious!!! The salsa, guacamole & chips were perfect and so good! Two of us split the cerveche tostada, which came with 2 and we took 1 home. The flavor was amazing! We will definitely go back. The waitress was very kind, helpful & nice. The young gentleman as left, working as the host was very friendly & kind. We enjoyed our time here.

I was visiting my friends who live locally and we came here for dinner. The food was outstanding! The salsa was very flavorful with the perfect level of spice. I ordered the enchiladas and the regular sized Cadillac margarita. The enchiladas were phenomenal and the regular size margarita packed a punch! The whole meal was fantastic and I look forward returning next time I visit my friends. The outdoor patio seating was really nice on a nice evening.

Food, atmosphere and service are superb.!! Very helpful with food allergies including celiac disease. Margaritas are delicious I ordered the Cadillac and it didn’t disappoint. Very smooth not acidic. Chips are not GFbut they will prepare gf chips if requested. The carne asada was tender and good quality. A lovely place to dine.

Very good lunch. Had their combination plate and everything spot on. Celina (?) gave a great recommendation on margaritas, which was perfect. A little pricey on the Margs, but well worth it.

I am visiting Palm Springs and wanted to get some Mexican food, Casa Mendoza did not disappoint! The restaurant is located in a very nice area with lots of shops and restaurants. Parking was fairly easy. The atmosphere is great, a lot of people and very nice servers. They greet you with some chips and salsa, very delicious! The food was a 10/10, lots of options and good quality food. The fajitas were amazing I just wish they would give us more tortillas. The beans, rice and guacamole were really good! I definitely recommend going, our server told us that they have mariachi on Sunday nights!
