    While researching Julian staples to visit/try, I came across this restaurant and was eager to try…read morebased on the "farm-to-table" aspect and not going to lie, the food looked absolutely delicious and amazing. We were not disappointed at all. Upon arriving, there was a musician playing, and they did seat us off to the right so we could not see but could hear still. There is outdoor and indoor seating, but at the time we came it appeared that the outdoor was reserved for an event. We happily sat inside! Having met Jeremy's parents earlier in the day who also recommended his restaurant, and they were just lovely, we had hoped to possibly meet Jeremy too. I wanted to try everything, but we opt on getting a few dishes to share. Our son ordered the filet mignon and they were able to substitute mashed potatoes for fries. Amazing!! The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!

    I came here with family without reservations and we were able to get in. The hostess and server…read morewere super friendly and accommodating. It was a homey atmosphere with excellent dishes.

Also very nice location and comfortable interiors. The vibe is lively.

As a customer you're automatically getting an upcharge just to give them your business. There was maybe about 2-3 other parties in the whole place, with pizza taking about 25 min to be ready. We paid $12 for bagged salad, with wilting/browning lettuce, croutons, and that Kraft like parmesan cheese that comes in the green bottle. Plus the 3% fee to eat there. Got the Alfredo pizza. The dough is thin and SUPER dry. Hard as rock, takes more effort to bite through the crust than the croutons. I don't know if they were running low on ingredients or what, but hardly a sprinkle of cheese and we're still looking for the sauce, which would've been nice to maybe soften a dough a tiny bit. I wouldn't recommend it for the prices they're charging. There's not a ton of options out here, but I wouldn't recommend this one unless you have a good dentist on call for a possible chipped tooth. Haha.

How can you miss when you're welcomed so warmly by both people and dogs?! We ordered a round of a variety of beers. We each enjoyed what we ordered. But we like to share! So we tasted around, found out what we really liked, then came back and ordered some more, and another couple of rounds the next day! This is not your typical deep fried bar food joint. Someone in the kitchen really knows their way around a bbq! And they don't hold back on their sides. The pork belly bites were so succulent with their crispy outer skin and unctuous meat inside. The ribs were surely taken from a brontosaurus! Tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of smoke. The brisket sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. Did I say we shared? Well, I didn't the sando was gone before anyone could ask for a bite. The Mac n cheese was creamy and dreamy. The vibe here is really casual. Dogs, kids, people at tables, at the bar, outside - just everyone enjoying themselves over beer, food, and convo. Great music playing. Super chill. No hurries and no worries. We'll definitely come here again the next time we're out this way!

Rather disappointing experience this time with our kids...... have been there before with a much better experience ! Will give it another try.........

    SHORT ANSWER: Just an update, but Casa Mendoza seems to be just getting better. Some new staff but…read morefood quality and people here are very welcoming. LOCATION: In Old Town La Quinta, OTLQ easy to find, tons of parking but at times it gets busy so you may have to walk a bit. FACILITY: very traditional inside and out, clean, and lots of space between tables. MENU: rather massive, we usually order the same things so all the other options makes my head hurt so we just go with what we know. FOOD PREP: excellent, always looks the same which is a good things. FOOD QUALITY: some of the best in the valley. LIBATIONS: lots of choices and not too expensive, wish they had a locals city of LQ discount like some of the other options in OTLQ.. WAITSTAFF: very nice, everyone. OVERALL VALUE: if you order the right things, it is a great value but you can go nuts and spend a lot, tourist dollars spend well, upselling happens for those who want it and deserve it! TIP: Sitting outside is great most all year, we don't go out when it is crazy hot, but have dined outside in 100+ temps, we prefer the front outdoor space.
