Visiting from SD for a few nights with my wife and daughter and heard about this spot the last time…read morewe were out. Spot looked legit before we even ordered, like true TJ style - no frills just a killer menu with simple seating and welcoming vibes upon walking in. They have all the meats! We ordered 8 tacos (2 cabeza, 4 asada, 2 mixto with shrimp and asada). We were blown away by the quality of each taco. Super tender and cooked perfectly with tons of flavor from proper marinade. Only thing holding me back from 5 stars is no guac - like they do not offer guacamole at all. That's a miss for sure but otherwise these are some of the best tacos in the valley. We will be back next time!

I found this place while passing through 29 Palms and decided to make a quick stop to get some…read morefood. I ordered some tacos and was totally disappointed with the amount of meat they put in them and the amount I paid. Tacos are $3 a piece, so I expected a decent or normal amount of meat per taco, but instead I got a kid's portion. I ate more tortilla than meat, just to put it into perspective. With total honesty, these tacos are worth $1.50 at most. The food taste was very mediocre, not even average. It lacked a lot of flavor. The agua fresca was really good, though. I hate it when palces charge a lot for food, but they're very stingy with the portions.

The food was fabulous! I had the mole enchiladas. The sauce was so good! Standard rice and refried beans come with it. I also ordered the bacon -wrapped jalapeno. It was filled with cheese. Yummy! My husband had the carnitas tacos plate, loved! They had a couple bottles of Laguna's IPA that we enjoyed with the meal. Really good and reasonably priced.

This plate-size masterpiece, smothered beautifully in red sauce and a mountain of perfectly melted, gooey cheese is hands-down the best chile relleno burrito of all time, packed with incredible flavor, perfectly cooked, and satisfying from the very first bite. The leftovers kept me fed for another two days. Shout out to Teresa, who remembered me from my last visit with my mother.

When you sit you already have small plates and things at the table which makes sense for indoors but with the desert setting there was sand everywhere. The tables were also covered in sand which obviously isn't their fault but you would think it would be wiped and set before seating. The fresh drinks were imo the best part by far. They were so delicious and like I said very fresh. The kale salad was alright not really much flavor and weirdly soggy. The beet salad was incredible but definitely NOT enough to share considering everything is served family style (and especially with the price). Burger was alright, my sister had this and said "nothing stood out". Again not enough to be considered "family style". With everything being $30-$40 with recommended 4-5 plates per table with family style I would assume they would actually be shareable sizes. Service was good. Our waitress was amazing and so knowledgeable about the menu. The only thing is there was an older woman as hostess who was kind of just there? She said hi and got to the point but no one said bye or have a good night when we were leaving other than our waitress.

Ordered the 2 tacos for $1.99 and Jumbo Jack for $6.29. Our order was sitting at a counter for a while before we questioned where the food was. Apparently they won't call out your order. You have to inquire about your food yourself. The burger was cold by the time we got it. The 2 tacos were a little warm, they were delicious as usual. The two Mexican restaurants nearby looked mighty appealing after this experience.

Due to the workers that treat the consumers with disrespect. I have the business a fair shot with the Makayla incident last year.
