The acid, the salt, everything hitting exactly right. I was not prepared. Quesadilla was stuffed and very generous with the shrimp, steak fajitas were absolutely delicious. Heads up: the food isn't very spicy but hot salsa and hot sauce are right there, problem solved. Neighborhood spot vibes, amazing food, owners who actually care. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Their menu is really good and they're known for their fajitas and their mole. We both ordered fajitas. My husband ordered the steak fajitas and I ordered the chicken fajitas. It's really fun because they make them flaming in front of you and that was really cool especially for my six-year-old son to watch! Also the vibe when we walked in was so much fun because they have like really fun music and I love the decor! We had a great time! And yes, the fajitas were delicious!

We ordered the carnitas and carne asada tacos, and both were absolutely amazing. The carnitas were tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, while the carne asada was juicy with just the right amount of char. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and made with care. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the overall experience was one of those hidden gems you're so glad you found. Even after all this time, it's still one of the most memorable taco spots I've been to. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out--you won't be disappointed!

What a great place. The food is a total standout in a community with dozens of 'taco shops.'…read more Normally, when 'combos' are shown I usually go for the two item, with rice & beans. Here I find that a single item is more than enough even for me! The quantity is on par with the quality. They have an excellent array of items at the salsa bar, which is tended to regularly by the staff, constantly monitoring and tidying and all items are well stocked. The service is fast, efficient, helpful and friendly. The entire location is clean with a better than usual ambiance. So far I've had their hard shell taco with shredded beef, tostadas, fish tacos. Sadly, my go to, chili rellenos is not on the menu, at least at this location. Pro tip: El Ranchito gets super busy starting around 11am and actually seem to slow down about half noon.

I sat there for a good 5+ minutes before anyone even came over to take my order. A couple minutes after that, a party of 6 came in and they were promptly served chips and salsa, while I'm sitting there still waiting for chips and salsa. When I finished my drink, no one came over to ask if i wanted a refill, so I finally had to stop a server and ask for a refill. You need to give the single diners a little attention too, especially as many of us are locals and like supporting the local businesses. Not sure I'll be back again.

Stopped in for dinner while staying nearby. There are a lot of places to eat out on the edge of…read morecivilization they call Palm Desert, and it is honestly tough to know what is actually good versus what just benefits from limited competition. That said, Pueblo Viejo Grill was legitimately solid. I love crispy chicken tacos, and they are harder to get right than you would think. A lot of places land squarely in the mediocre zone. These were not that. Pueblo's version was quite good and easily lands in the top half of my personal crispy chicken taco rankings. Service was pretty good, especially considering the place was packed on a Friday night. You could tell they were hustling. What really stood out is that it is family owned and operated. I had the chance to meet the owners and they were genuinely very nice people, which always adds something to the experience. Given the setting, surrounded by new construction and not a ton of competition, this place could probably get by with less effort. But they do not. They deliver a solid meal and a good experience. Overall, a great choice for dinner. Just bring a little patience when they are busy. Solid 4 to 4.5 stars.

My friend and I shared a steak burrito filled with rice and beans, then covered with sauce. Pretty basic...good, but not outstanding. The beef was cut in very small cubes but didn't have much flavor. I also think that should have served it with at least a dollop of sour cream and probably guacamole, too. My friend ordered a beef chimichanga with rice and beans. That was served with a dab of guacamole and sour cream. Rice and beans were good, not outstanding. What impressed me was their large selection of margaritas. We had one hibiscus and one guava margarita. Delicious and served in very pretty glasses. Service was friendly.

We started with short rib empanadas and the calamari which was so good, I forgot to take a picture of! Huge portion for the calamari, this was our top favorite! The empanadas were nicely filled with a little bit of cheese, I personally would have liked more but the accompanying sauce was the perfect dip. For our main, we shared the lamb shank that was so tender it fell off the bone with just our forks. The dish comes with three tortillas which isn't enough for the meat but the lamb is the real star so no complaints! We both had the "Te Enamoré" cocktail which was so yummy, we ordered it twice! Strongly recommend, we'll be stopping by next time we're in the area!

We sat on the rear patio, the service was outstanding from start to finish, and every single thing we ordered delivered. The Beer Tempura Avocado Bites were unlike anything we've had before. Crispy outside, creamy inside, and incredibly addictive. The guacamole, salsa and chips may have ruined us for other Mexican restaurants. Everything tasted fresh and vibrant. The Grilled Lobster Tail Tacos were loaded with meat, not tiny little pieces hidden in toppings. You actually get full lobster tail flavor in every bite. My wife's Verde Enchiladas were outstanding too. Dessert sealed the deal. The Churro Ice Cream Sandwich was the best dessert we had the entire trip. Cocktails were equally impressive. Since I love cucumber, the Refrescado with blanco tequila, agave, lime juice and cucumber water was basically required ordering for me. They also prepare a delish Watermelon Margarita. Great food. Great energy. Great service. This is absolutely a place we'd return to on our next trip to Palm Springs.
