Rachel MercerSeptember 2, 2013The tacos can run a little small so if you're hungry order an appetizer to share at the table. Great margs and Tequila options. Most tables are also communal, as a warning.
Branigan POctober 4, 2014I got an omelette with tomato, spinach and bacon with a side of wheat toast. It was awesome. My husband got the smoke salmon platter and he said it was fantastic. The coffee was strong and tasty.
JoyJuly 2, 2013The corn (esquites) was delicious. Flourless chocolate cake with mousse, spicy candid walnuts and coffee ice cream is a must have. However, the beef tongue tacos were too salty (the sauce).
Rayshawn WilliamsMay 25, 2016I'm usually not the biggest watermelon fan but this sopa makes great use of watermelon. The flavor goes well with the dungeness crab meat.
- Cynthia DrescherApril 4, 2013Get the esquites or we can't be friends. Too bad the three-taco menu items can't be mixed up to try three different tacos (as in, you're stuck with three of the same kind)
- Philip CJanuary 31, 2018The Taco Tuesday/Thursday’s are great. Fish taco especially. Wl Jefe burger is also good, and don’t miss the margaritas!
- Bobby SolomonMarch 21, 2019Located in The Saguaro, this small, casual bar, is the go-to place in Palm Springs for a quick meal of tacos and margaritas.
- Rayshawn WilliamsMay 25, 2016This cheese on this dish is good but the duck barbacoa underneath is what makes this dish awesome.
- Rayshawn WilliamsMay 25, 2016Taste just as great as the elote bought from the streets...just in a glass. Delicious!
- Cynthia DrescherDecember 25, 2012Get the Esquites! Sweet corn (off the cob) with Queso fresco & chipotle mayo. Scoop it on some chips.
Arron FentonOctober 26, 2014I had better carne asada tacos on the back of trucks. Too expensive for 3 little guys. The waitress was very friendly and my boyfriend said the Asada tacos were great. I gave my tacos to him.
Emily Van NordenOctober 13, 2013hotel lobby bar but with a good DJ, kind of a shame we were there with a wedding party and they literally swiped the cocktail out of the brides hand because she didn't have her ID on her. true story.
Marla @DvinMsMNovember 20, 2013Breakfast was amazingly delish. Omelet with onions, tomato and spinach.

Rachel KAugust 3, 2015Avoid the guacamole. Super under seasoned. Basically just mashed avocado and a sprinkle of cheese. No tomatoes or spice.

Marina JamiesonFebruary 16, 2016The tacos were ok. It was the service, they were so slow, took 45minutes to get 2orders of tacos. Very understaffed.
There was a DJ event in the lobby. It was beyond ear piercing loud. We were unable to sit in El Jefe. 2nd time this has happened.
The almasrosa 11 month respasado is almonds smoothness
110 tequila brands? My my. We're going to be here awhile.
