This is the best authentic Mexican food in the Coachella Valley. The atmosphere is simple and unpretentious, but the food makes up for it with its freshness and genuine flavors. Plus, the Margaritas are more generous than what you'll find at most restaurants, and they're much more affordable. Give it a try—you won’t be disappointed!

The food here is excellent—especially the steak and eggs with potatoes. The beer is nice and cold, and the rice and beans are a great side. I will definitely be coming back! Also, the restaurant is wheelchair accessible with a front door and seating available.
