We had delicious food and excellent service at lunch today. The guacamole was wonderful. The ambience is pretty basic but the food and service make up for it.There is street parking as well as a lot behind the restaurant and other businesses.
Came in for lunch and it wasn't too busy. We got drinks, the salmon ceviche, and the Chilean sea bass ceviche , plus the crab enchilada. The food was good but the salmon ceviche presentation could have been better.It just looked like canned salmon, though I could tell by the taste that it wasn't. I thought the sea bass ceviche had a little too many tortilla chip strips but otherwise the flavors were good. The best thing was the crab enchilada in that delicious green sauce. It was kind of like crab cakes folded into an enchilada. They made great leftovers. I'd come back for that, rather than the ceviches.
Really enjoyed the tacos here, they were super flavorful! This taco place feels healthier than other tacos locations. For example they had cod and salmon tacos, which comes with a side salad, as well as chickpeas in their ceviche, and it was very citrusy. I highly enjoyed the cod tacos, fish was very tender. Coming from San Diego, I'm used to more hole in the wall/taco stand type tacos so this place was definitely pricier than what I'm used to for tacos. Service was great though!!
Food DELICIOUS. Healthy. Clean. Fresh. Ambiance nice, though a bit cramped. Service decent. Will try again.
Really nice, calm setting, with really nice manner service. Food was fresh, and the cocktails were tasty.
- Crab meat enchiladas (6/5) - a must try! I'm not a big fan of enchiladas in general but this blew me away. The best enchiladas I've ever tried. This alone is worth visiting this restaurant. - Pork belly tacos (2.5/5) - two tacos for $22 seems really pricey. Their tacos were on the bigger side but the overall portion was still small. The pork was VERY sweet. Service was great and so was the atmosphere. Reminded me of upscale restaurants in Mexico City. I'll be back to eat more enchiladas and try other dishes next time I'm in Palm Springs!
Very cute, bright interior. Lots of natural light. Service was beyond friendly. The vaquero was sweet and smoky yet tangy. Loved it. Lobster quesadillas fattened w lobster meat. Thick. The mango salsa heightened the sweetness of the lobster. Honey walnut shrimp was dressed in a creamy sauce underscored how perfectly the shrimp were cooked. Ahi nachos topped generously. The ginger sauce and aioli danced atop the tuna. Lots of jalapeño. Wontons crisped excellently.
If you're looking for some fresh ceviche or poke in Palm Springs, then head over to Crudo Cervicheria on Palm Canyon Drive. We stopped in for lunch and sat outside on a beautiful sunny day. Recommendation: Try the Poky Tower with Ahi Tuna, Black Rice, Guacamole, Cucumber, and Mango Relish. Served with chips. So good!
Four of us for dinner. Two of us started with La tabla with shrimp, scallops and ahi tuna, followed by a full La tabla super. The two of us are big eaters, And along with two margaritas we were stuffed. There wasn't an item we ate that was not delicious. The other two had la tablet super, preceded by ahi nachos, also delicious. We were excellently served by Aksel, And everyone there pitched in, was helpful and they all seem to enjoy what they do. We will always come back to this restaurant as it is amazing food.
We had another great visit to Crudo tonight. We had several cocktails that were all great, including a very unusual and delicious "Carsons" old fashioned with a corn liquor. We also got an assortment of their small plates, including shrimp, scallops, cod, tuna and salmon. Each was unique, and each was great! The scallops negro was a standout. So much nuance in this food. And the service there is top notch. They're happy to tell you the good story behind any dish or drink. All good, and we'll be back!
There needs to be a Crudo in every city - it's that good! I love stumbling across amazing places and this is one of them! From the ambiance, the food and the drinks, this place is incredible. The staff were also amazing. You will have a good time here for sure!!
We had a little excursion finding parking, due to the Pride weekend. We ended up walking about two/tenths of a mile, so not a big deal. As a party of six, we were seated in the back patio on the table that doubles as a gas fireplace. The setup and the evening weather made it feel "resort like". I apologize in advance for butchering his name, but Josh was our server, and he was patient and helpful all evening. He deserves a HUGE thumbs up. We received our drinks, along with two starters. The Ranchero Ceviche and the Guac and Chips. I didn't try the Guac, but the Ceviche was very good. Do not forget to use the Poblano sauce they bring for the Ceviche; it absolutely enhanced the flavor. My wife and I both had the Pomegranate-Jalapeno Margarita, which was delicious. It could have been a little hotter. For my entree, I chose the Crabmeat Enchiladas. I was seriously blown away how the enchiladas were lathered perfectly by the sauce. This combination was Excellent! I even devoured the corn-veggie mix on the side. To top off the evening, we passed around two desserts but there was one CLEAR winner. The Pistachio Flan had more of a Bread Pudding consistency allowing small bites of flan & sauce while the remnant waited for consumption. It wasn't too sweet or custardy. This is our first time visiting this restaurant and it will not be the last. We came away very impressed. I am not surprised that the owners also operate Cups Cafe, which is my favorite breakfast in the CV. We will definitely return.
Seafood was super super fresh and insanely flavorful. Loved the addition of corn and chickpeas in both of the ceviches and the tostadas were really fresh and added a really nice texture contrast. The pork belly tacos were on the sweeter side, but it was super crispy and the pickled onions added some acidity to it. The pulpo bites (octopus) were the best thing by far!! It was really soft and tender and paired w the glaze and the sauce it was soso good. Love the indoor and outdoor parts of the restaurant as well as the overall Spanish ambiance. The servers were all very attentive and helpful in guiding us through the menu.
Where has this place been my whole life?! Crudo completely exceeded my expectations! The food and drinks were AMAZING, and the whole experience was even better thanks to our bartender, Gustavo, who was so welcoming and made the visit extra special. The poke nachos were absolutely delicious, and the truffle fries were a must! My sister ordered the Guisaditos tacos and loved them as well. Everything we tried was flavorful and so good. Definitely adding Crudo to my Palm Springs favorites. Can't wait to come back! read more

First off, great customer service and friendly . Place does have a lot of seats outside but in a hot day try to get a take inside . The restaurant can get crowded so plan accordingly. Parking is all around the area but can get crowded because of the other places to eat around there, be patient , people are coming and going . All the dishes we tried were delicious. The scallops negro was a good appetizer along with the crab enchiladas which was a decent proportion sized dish . We had to try the "La Super Tabla" . It's quite much for 2 people but with a party of 3-4 , you'll take it down easy. I like everything on this specific dish except the pork belly. It was quite tough to eat, might have been over cooked but it did have flavor , the pieces were kind of hard . The octopus was flavorful and the steak was very tender even though it was cooked well done , we requested medium rare but it was still tender. The calamari was also a tiny bit tough , it was more like a calamari steak, and a tiny bit chewy. The octopus was delicious , soft not chewy and the shrimp was yum. Last but least, the Flan for dessert. Flan is my favorite dessert and the pistachio flan made here was awesome , it's a must try if you have room for dessert . Definitely will be coming back next time I'm in the desert. read more

Crudo is a delicious fresh seafood adventure! Their carefully chosen menu is perfect for a warm/hot day! Favorites, Ceviche, shrimp cocktail y la tablita. To top of the amazing experience they have delicious micheladas, favorite the tamarind! read more
A great take on Mexican-Peruvian cuisine from Pork Belly tacos to crab enchiladas, Crudo adds their original touches and flavors. We tried their Cod and Pork Belly tacos with freshly made corn tortillas, and boy, they were great and full of flavor. These tacos are not very big, more like street tacos. A 3rd taco on each serving would have been perfect. The staff was attentive and efficient. You must try their Pistachio Flan. It's light and not as thick as traditional Mexican flan, but it tastes amazing. Parking might be a problem during busy hours. read more
"When something is delicious, it's zero calories." ― Jin And vacation calories cannot cross statelines. ;) I had the absolute pleasure of dining at this dreamy cevichería, and let's just say... my tastebuds are still sending thank-you notes. We started with their Chilango Ceviche (Chilean Seabass with roasted corn garbanzo beans, topped with mango relish and guajillo flake), and let me tell you, it's giving coastal chic. Fresh, citrusy, and perfectly balanced. Honestly, it was like the ocean wrote me a love letter. Then came the crab meat enchilada and I, no exaggeration, ascended. It was hands-down my favorite dish of the evening. It was three enchiladas stuffed with crab meat, finished with a mole-pasilla, and topped with roasted corn & rajas Panela cheese. The crab was buttery and rich and I was absolutely scrapping the plate clean for any remnants of corn and sauce. I also tried their Chile Relleno Mariscado. It was a poblano pepper stuffed with sauteed shrimp, salmon & pulpo with a light pistachio cream. What made this classic dish special was the pistachio cream sauce. Like, excuse me? Who knew pistachio and shrimp would be that girl? It was velvety and luxe. Whether you're in town for a desert getaway or just vibing your way through a culinary tour, Crudo is the moment. Chef-driven, full of heart, and totally worthy of your camera roll and cravings. 5/5 would return. And yes, I'm still dreaming about that pistachio cream sauce. read more
Every time I visit Palm Springs, I always find myself going back to Crudo for a quick and delicious lunch. I always order the same thing, and I always enjoy myself. Crudo is on the main strip, a little further from all the bustle of downtown, but still centrally located. Oftentimes, the restaurant is not busy for lunch. There has never been a wait during any of my visits, and there usually isn't more than three other parties dining at the same time. The menu is fairly large, featuring a wide variety of drinks and all sorts of food. From ceviches to tacos to large sharable plates, there is definitely something for everyone. Despite this, I find myself always going for the "ahi poky tower". It features a heap of marinated tuna with black rice, cucumber, avocado, and mango relish. When mixed together, you get the most delicious, well-balanced bites. The dish is served with crispy and delicate chips to provide texture and also a medium to hold all of the poke. Altogether, bites are rich, citrusy, and creamy. I personally like to order this dish on its own, but it can also serve as a great sharing dish in the middle of the table. The chips make it easy for everyone to get a bite. As for the calamari, this whole dish was really disappointing. I didn't order the dish and didn't look at the description, but when it was ordered, it was really unclear to me that it would be a steak instead of smaller pieces of calamari. The huge chunk of squid threw me off, but it was also the downfall of the dish. The fry was just okay. It wasn't super crispy, but the squid itself was extremely tough. It was really unpleasant to chew and was completely flavorless. The fries suffered from similar issues, being mostly mushy and flavorless. This won't stop me from coming back to Crudo, but I would definitely advise against ordering this dish. Crudo is a very welcoming restaurant with kind staff and generally great food. The poke tower serves as a high standard for seafood and the ability to construct a balanced dish. Even though I always get the poke tower, I would bet that a lot of the seafood dishes live up to the same level of quality and standard. And despite the calamari steak not being for me, I also understand that it is a new dish, and perhaps the kitchen was still dialing in the recipe. Crudo will continue to be one of my go-to restaurants and a place I take newcomers to Palm Springs every time I visit. read more

Finally got to try Crudo & was pleasantly surprised! I had very beautiful crab enchiladas. Perfect combination of creaminess from the sauce & texture from the vegetables on the side. It wasn't spicy & as much as I would love it spicy, it was great still. It says there's a mole sauce, but it was a vibrant green. The crab enchiladas paired very well with the passionfruit lemon drop. I don't usually prioritize vodka drinks, but the sweet-tart passionfruit + the soft crab flavor & creamy sauce just made so much sense to me. Alternatively, I would also go for a gin cocktail... such as a gimlet or an herbal/floral one (for those of you who also love a nice pairing). I sat at the bar & enjoyed the service from our bartender. I believe I heard his name was Rex, but I'm a little foggy on that. He kept us entertained & made sure we would be happy with our selections before confirming. Looking forward to coming back to try other dishes!! read more

Overall maybe a 3.6 . I like that they were dog friendly and had patios . The servers were nice but seemed new and not too knowledgeable. I'm wondering if maybe the main chefs were not in for lunch today. Mom wanted to order nachos but the server said it didn't have any cheese? So Mom ordered crab cake sandwich which we sent back. The side salad was hot because I think they must of had it under a warmer waiting for my tocos to be ready I'm guessing. The crab cake was mushy and had a weird tasting spice that masked any resemblance of a crab taste. We almost never sent anything back but this time she did and got my same tocos which she liked. I give the crab cake 1 out of five. My tocos were good quality and tasty but for $22 it came with just a few salad greens on the side. 3.9 out of 5 stars. However, the mango margarita gets a 5 out of 5! It was fresh and tasty with lots of tequila and a great price for $12. I could see why maybe the good reviews are for the bar drinks. read more

I like a good dirty vodka martini. Are all kinds of cocktails available here? Going to be in Palm Springs Mon and Tue Dec. 11 and 12 and would like to try this place.
They have low-proof alcohol at this point since they don't have a full liquor license yet; however, they do a great job with what they do have! Very tasty libations!
