    A very delicioso carne asada burrito with chips on the side, and two different salsas.
    René R.

    El Tacolgado is another little gem to their number of restaurants here in Palm Springs. As small as it is, it's perfect and their service is great, friendly, where you don't feel like just a number. This addition to their restaurant family serves delicious and authentic food. As expensive as everything is today, they don't skimp on their food or quality, which makes great business sense. I ordered a carne asada burrito and they serve chips on the side. The small salsa bar is another must-try.

    I heard about this new sister restaurant when I had brunch at El Patio and decided to go for lunch the next day. Got the fried fish tacos and a draft beer. The tacos were great and had a nice crunch to it. A cold beer was the perfect pairing. It's a cute new spot that is perfect for a quick bit. Casual feel but friendly service made for an awesome experience. Had a view of the mountains from my seat. Will be back to try other tacos!

    There's alway places that you've walked by loads of times but never gave it a second thought. I've…read moreseen this place pretty much everytime when walking along the main strip. Palm Springs has a night market that happens Thursday night from 6-10 where it brings out people. Food vendors, arts and crafts, gifts and so on. A nice family outing on the main strip. Also all the storefronts are open as well. The thing with something like that, you tend to stand or find a seat along the curb to sit with your food. Hence we finally walked into this restaurant. It was pretty busy when we walked in but at the right time. Got seated right away as there was only two tables available. By the time we were seated, the line was pretty long. It's just off the main strip. Pretty decent size patio which seems to be where everyone was utilizing it as it was nice out. There's a bar area with seating as well as indoor, a smaller room. Service was nice. Water and menu was brought out first then came the chips and salsas. Quite tasty but can be filling if you can't control yourself. Started off with their classic margaritas and the spicy margaritas. There's a few dollars difference from classic to spicy. They weren't that bad. Menu wise, a mixture of all your Mexican dishes. We didn't have any starters as we just wanted the mains. The carne asada plate which came with both rice and beans. I opted for only rice. Thin skirt steak with chorizo, grilled jalapeño and onion, flour or corn tortillas and salsa. And the chicken enchiladas verde with the green sauce. The food was quite tasty. Carne asada plate was pretty plentiful. Nice skirt steak with a nice piece of chorizo. Both were quite tasty and flavorful. Steak was decent and cooked well. Not overly done. Then you have the enchiladas. It's decent in size but not too big. It's good if you're not too hungry. The sauce was great and was a perfect pair to the dish. As it was our first time, it was great. All these place that's been there but you walk by loads of time. Sometimes you just have to try new places out and see what comes of it. Maybe it's a hit. We quite enjoyed it and glad that we finally tried it out.

    I was really disappointed with the service and overall experience…read more First, we were never offered water or refills, which set the tone right away. Both my husband and I ordered shrimp tacos. I don't eat meat, so I always choose fish or shrimp as alternatives. The first two tacos I received (fish and shrimp) actually had beef in them. I sent them back and clearly explained that I do not eat meat. I then reordered shrimp tacos and specifically told the waitress again about my dietary restriction. Unfortunately, the second batch came with bacon. While yes, I could have read every ingredient more carefully, I would expect the staff to be more attentive and helpful--especially after I had already sent food back for the same issue. Instead, the waitress lectured me about not reading the menu, which felt inappropriate and unprofessional. On top of that, the tacos themselves were not good--overloaded with random ingredients and not at all enjoyable, especially for $23. I left feeling unwell and very dissatisfied. The strangest part of the experience was the hostess at the front. She appeared completely disengaged, staring off into the distance. I tried multiple times to get her attention for something as simple as a napkin or the check, waving while she was looking in my direction, but she didn't respond at all. Overall, poor service, lack of attention to dietary needs, and disappointing food. I wouldn't return.

    OMGOODNESS - this place is beyond amazing. Our server amazing. Bartenders amazing. Food amazing…read more Environment amazing. We had the street tacos, the salad, the guacamole, the half chicken and the churros. I could've had everything. Please go there. Please support them. Love. Love. Love.

    So the first thing this place does not outwardly advertise that it is NOT air conditioned. They…read moremay say that it's partially inside but it's wide open. So while that dim light and dim ambience is nice it's hot AF when the high was today was 100. Who wants to eat spicy Mexican food without AC when it's so hot?! Second, if the high temp for the day was 100 and there's no AC why are you serving a "raw bar menu?" We took a chance and got the snapper crudo. Didn't finish it and hoping we don't sh**t our pants. Was hoping it would be served ice cold and chilled but instead came out at room temp (remember the temp outside) and smelled like rotten panties. Also got the steak to share for the table. Not horrible, and it was cooked just how we ordered it but not seasoned at all. Our server was very friendly and as helpful as she could be but completely non attentive. It must have been the end of her shift. Overall it was a total disappointment and a super uncomfortable experience. (I went into the bathroom 3 times just to stand in front of the AC unit). I'm not quite sure what's up with all the raving reviews. Perhaps this place is better to visit on a cold snap in January.
