    Entrance
    Laura Jean O.

    The entrance is a little small and it's right next to the gentleman's club don't be intimidated they are so friendly and chill over here! Clean, plenty of seating. The food can be on the greasier side depending what you order but this will cure any hangover any day. Perfect first day breakfast in Cali, more than enough for 2 people.

    Horchata Matcha
    Joyce L.

    Did *not* expect to find matcha drinks, much less several different kinds, at this casual Mexican cafe interestingly located next to a strip club! Ordered the Horchata Matcha (in-house horchata, matcha) as honestly it just seemed the most fitting choice, and it was an excellent study in contrasting yet complementary flavors. It was near closing when we arrived, and staff was already starting to stack chairs, but didn't rush us out. My one piece of constructive criticism would be to update *all* menus, as the one we saw showed my drink as being of a significantly larger size than what I actually received. A different menu later confirmed the reduced size, but the confusion shouldn't have happened in the first place...

    This place never fails. It has sweet sugary delicious drinks (for a sweet treat) not an everyday coffee lowkey. That Birria burrito issss to diiieee for! It's so incredibly delicious and flavorful. Tortilla is chefs kiss. Staff is always friendly & they usually don't take long to get your order out. I haven't dined in so I can't comment on that experience, but I enjoy grabbing takeout from this establishment! I've gone a few times and it always hits the spot!

    Their newest offering called "disappointment"

    Being open when you say you're supposed to be open... if there are extenuating circumstances put up a sign like "be back in a hour" or "out of business"

    Scrambled eggs cooked to perfection! Coffee was so good aswell

    100/10 please make tutorial on how you cook your eggs, best I've had not kidding. Coffee was perfect and service was so kind and efficient !

    Horchata & Blueberry Matcha
    Yarlin Torres

    My husband and I came out to the Cathedral City/Palm Springs area for a little getaway to relax, and while searching for a nearby coffee spot, we stumbled across Cafecito Calaveras and we are SO glad we did! Their matchas were honestly some of the best we've ever had. We tried the horchata matcha, which was incredibly flavorful and perfectly balanced, and the blueberry matcha, which was also delicious and refreshing. For food, we ordered the CC Burrito and added carne asada, absolutely amazing! Everything was packed with flavor, and the tater tots on the side were the perfect addition. The salsa deserves its own shoutout because it was THAT good. The customer service was excellent too. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the whole vibe made us want to come back... which we did the very next day! This time we tried the tres leches espresso and the iced churro espresso, and both drinks were incredible. We'll definitely be coming back on future trips and referring friends and family!

    I had the chance to try this wonderful place out in Cathedral City, my friend has been sharing his breakfast burrito and coffee photos with me so I had to give them a try. I tried the Jalapeños popper smash burger. OMG this burger isn't nothing regular, it comes with Crispy edged smash patty, molten jalapeño popper cheese , their house bacon jam that was so amazing on a toasted bun, with a side of tater tots. The burger was amazing all the ingredients and flavors pairs perfectly. The decor was great as well and the customer service was a 10. I will be back soon to try the other dishes they have on the menu.

    Small, out of the way coffee place with great desserts and Mexican breakfast and lunch specialties. The variety of coffee drinks is unique and inviting. My Mexican Mocha with Abuelita Chocolate was delicious. Olla-Chota with Horchata was good, and very sweet. People were friendly and helpful. Small but pleasant seating area inside.

    Burrito
    Gabriel W.

    Summary: Excellent Burrito but a little pricey. El Huevón Burrito: 9.3/10 this was dare I say one of the best breakfast burritos I've had. The thick cut bacon was crispy yet chewy. The chorizo was fatty and a little spicy and the potato soaked up all those flavors. There was also a cheese skirt on the inside of the burrito that added such a nice texture. The salsa was also gasolina! Spicy, acidic very tasty. I just wish it were bigger for $11

    Abuela Blanca
    Dodger E.

    What an amazing hidden gem! WOW! The Mexican Mocha & Abuela Blanca iced coffee's are incredible! The ribeye tacos the best I've had in years!

    So I went to this little place on my lunch. It's small. They share the business with the tamales spot. They were very nice. Two ladies and a gentleman were there. We ordered the 24 ounce Dulce de Calavera iced coffee latte excellent! I also ordered the Birriaquiles, they were out of carne asada, so my husband ordered El huevon burrito... so the Birriaquiles were smashed in a container, they tasted ok but I couldn't see what I was eating. I'm all about presentation and I like to see what I'm eating my husband's burrito with tasty but very small for the price, I would probably go back just for the coffees; and maybe if they got bigger containers, I try something else to eat , so you could see what you're eating‍

    Smash Burger Gordo and bean burrito
    Phillip D.

    Breakfast sandwich Bean burrito Smash Burger Beef tallow fried tots . This place shares a parking lot with a strip club and weed store so pull the trifecta visit all three. I'll let you on decide the order to visit. Breakfast sandwich will live rent free in my mind for a long time.

    Birria burrito
    Bernard A.

    Anytime I'm in the Palm Springs/Cathedral City area, I make it a point to stop by Cafecito Calaveras--even if it's just for one birria burrito or a quick matcha fix. They've never disappointed me, and of all places, you wouldn't expect to find this gem of a hole-in-the-wall! Really authentic food, great staff, and delicious drinks. Highly recommend!

We stopped by around 3 p.m. on a Wednesday and sat at the bar. It wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxing experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. For food, we ordered the fish ceviche, taquitos dorados, and the birria tacos. They definitely don't skimp on the portions. Everything is generously sized and perfect for sharing. I especially loved the salsa that came with the taquitos dorados, and the birria was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The birria tacos and taquito dorados were easily my favorite and something I'd absolutely order again. Of course, I had to try a few of their margaritas! I sampled the Classic Felipe, Jamaica, and Guava margaritas. The guava margarita was hands down my favorite. Overall, it's a great spot with delicious food, refreshing drinks, generous portions, and excellent happy hour deals. Be sure to check out their happy hour menu, you won't be disappointed!

Very fresh ingredients with generous portion of shrimp. This was my favorite item we ordered! Tacolgado were mini quesabirria tacos that was perfectly sized to share. This was really good! Then we also ordered the chicken flautas that was really good! The chicken breast was perfectly seasoned and moist but the fried tortilla was not soggy at all. This was so good! The kids enjoyed this the most. Especially the cotija !! So so good. Wednesdays are 50% off their margaritas which I wasn't able to try but next time, I will! The ladies next to us ordered a few and I overheard how they were all good! The restaurant is family friendly, clean and decor was very cute! Service was very attentive and the servers were very quick. We enjoyed our 1st time and definitely plan to come back!

The directions on Yelp were inaccurate by at least half a mile. While we got lost for a bit, we ended up finding the spot. The owners were incredibly nice and hospitable. I ended up getting one Al Pastor taco while my friends tried the Asada and chicken. While we loved all of the proteins, the Al Pastor was the showstopper.

It turned out that the chips were complementary and made in house along with the tortillas. The tables were clean and the dining room was inviting. The owners came to check on us throughout our meal. If you're looking for a delicious, quick, and affordable meal, you do not want to pass on this place. The salsa alone will have you coming back to the salsa bar.

This meant Marilyns everywhere, including the waiters, which made the experience that much more fun. Aside from that, we had made reservations ahead of time thankfully, because it was BUSY. But we were sat just as soon as we had arrived, and despite it being very hot out at the time, they had a bunch of shaded spots with misting fans. The drinks were fantastic, including mine which was a zero-proof mocktail. We all ordered different chicken dishes, and each one received high praise. I was able to try each of them and I was very happy with my fajitas, but I gotta give the nachos their dues. They were just as good. Chips were crispy all the way through, and not one was soggy from all the ingredients. Loved it, will definitely be back when I visit again. Id also like to mention that we chose this place as my friend's Bachelor Party closing dinner, and he couldn't have been happier. He was so thrilled with how the weekend had gone, that dining at Clandestino's really was the cherry on top. Thank you for making our dining experience such a pleasant one.
