My husband and I were out in the Palm Springs area and decided to stop for lunch before heading home. Of course, I looked on yelp and found this place. We each ordered a fish taco. He also ordered two chicken tacos, and I ordered a potato taco. OMG!! We were so happy we stopped here! All of our tacos were absolutely delicious! Their hot sauce was so good. The tortillas tasted homemade. We really enjoyed our lunch and would definitely go back if in the area. Unfortunately, it's quite a distance from where we live. If you are ever in the area, make sure to stop in and try this fabulous place! read more

Stumbled across this hole in the wall after getting lost to a different taco spot, and I'm glad my party did. Place was clean with several large booths and a table for seating. Ordering was easy and food came out quick. Maybe not extreme like it's name sake says, the fish tacos were legit good. Fresh ingredients, well seasoned, solid. read more

I asked for no onions ( allergic) ... food came out with extra onions look like I asked the girl at the counter if they could remake it and the girl behind the counter, making the food sat and stared at the food for like 45 seconds like no I'm not making this. She said that she can scrape off any onions as much as she could. I told her that's not gonna work. I am allergic.... workers continued to give me problems about getting a refund because they would not remake the food. Only wanted to scrape off the onions. read more

Five-Star Flavor Fiesta Every Friday If you know, you know--and if you don't, let me put you on. This local gem is my go-to almost every Friday, and it never misses. From the moment you walk in, it's clear: this place isn't trying to imitate Mexican food--it is Mexican food. Bold, authentic, and full of heart. Shrimp Cocktail? Phenomenal. It's not just fresh--it's layered, zesty, and served with the kind of flavor that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate the moment. They don't skimp, and they don't play. Fries That Deserve Their Own Fan Club Whether you're snacking solo or going full meal mode with their carne asada fries, these crispy golden beauties are next-level. Perfectly seasoned, generously topped, and absolutely addictive. Tacos That Speak Fluent Bomb Fish tacos? The best in town. Period. But what really sets them apart for me is their potato tacos--a rare find, and a total revelation. Comforting, crispy, and made with real Mexican cheese (yes, the kind that melts with dignity and flavor). No neon yellow imposters here. Shrimp a la Diabla? Say Less. Spicy, saucy, and unapologetically bold. It's the kind of dish that makes you sweat a little and smile a lot. This spot is more than a taco place--it's a weekly ritual, a flavor sanctuary, and a reminder that real Mexican food doesn't need gimmicks. It just needs soul. And they've got it in every bite. read more

My parents and I went in we got shrimp tacos with rice & my dad got chilaquiles. The shrimp tacos had absolutely NO flavor at all. My mom's shrimp was overcooked, my rice had no flavor at all. Although my dad did like his chilaquiles he said they were good. The drinks were warm although they were inside the fridge. I had high expectations of coming to this place by the restaurant having a 4.5 reviews. I was so disappointed for 3 shrimp tacos being $13 and not being good at all. read more

Came for the fish tacos since this place had amazing reviews. Unfortunately we were disappointed by how "xtremely" soggy they were. I also asked for chicken for my 1 yr old and they said they only sell tacos so I ordered tacos and a side a rice (I stated it was for my toddler). The food came and they put hot sauce all over the chicken tacos so I made sure to scrape it all off and gave him a bite and he started to panic because it was too spicy. I tried the chicken and it didn't taste spicy at all but I'm thinking he must have gotten some residual spicy. I wish she would have told the cook it was for a toddler. Music was super loud, place needs a major upgrade it was looking rough. Anyways, i don't recommend the fish tacos. Maybe the good reviews are for the other tacos. read more

I'm gonna be honest: I've only ever had the fish tacos from here, and only ever on the days with specials. I've been here before and after the management change and didn't notice anything terribly different about the fish tacos, which is a good thing, because they're good, especially for the price. The fish is fried though, not grilled, and come with that yummy sauce on top. My kids had asada and carnitas tacos from here, which are actually more expensive than the fish taco special, and they didn't seem too impressed. Decor leaves a lot to be desired...typical hole-in-the-wall Mexican place, but I've also never seen anyone eating here. Very much a take-out sort of place. read more

My wife and I tried this place for the first time today and it was amazing! Tasted like fresh homemade tacos. We ordered fish tacos, potato tacos, and shrimp tacos. I was especially impressed with the crunchy potato tacos that had so many fresh toppings! Everything was flavorful and fresh. Check out the salsa pictured. It was my favorite salsa. Not spicy on the front end but had a slight kick at the end. SUPER flavorful though. Instantly one of my top 3 salsas in the IE by far. Overall this place is a must try if you're looking for some authentic tacos. We will be coming back! read more

Saw their sign and decided to give it a try. The piece of fish was small. There was no crema/sour cream, no tomato either. The fish didn't taste bad or anything. Just wasn't that great and was missing two things. They also didn't have salsa and the only reason we had salsa was because my husband asked for it and the lady went and gave him 2 little containers of salsa (for 5 tacos). read more

This gem is easy to miss, but well worth the trouble. I was in the mood for fish tacos done right and was eager to see if this restaurant would live up to its name. Well, they earned every one of these 5 stars. Customer service 5 stars. They were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about their offerings - both on & off menu. Value gets 5 stars as not only was the entire menu affordable, the portion sizes were nice for the price. Taste gets 5 stars. All food was fresh and the flavors were outstanding. I opted for the daily special which is $2 shrimp tacos on Thursdays and I've also tried their shrimp ceviche which was also delicious and includes large slices of avocados, tostodas, choice of Tapatio or favorite hot sauce. I can't wait to return to try out the rest of the menu. read more

They let me keep that one and still brought out the correct drink, which was nice of them. And wow... definitely one of the spiciest drinks I've ever had.

Great size for two to share, and we had a blast just eating and enjoying the sights laid out to see. Their pickled onions got a spicy kick to it! I loved the added crunch instead of just having the typical hot salsa. Service was great, with the waiters and waitresses checking in on us every now and then, and I liked that we pay first then eat, so we just leave after we're done! Excellent experience as the weather was perfect too, the outdoor seating has some mosquitoes but be sure to go when it's not molting hot outside! After food we got to go on a photo spree and it was wonderful.

Terrible customer service and a menu that doesn't explain their own rules…read more We ordered the potato tacos and asked if they could be made hard shell. The woman helping us immediately gave us attitude and said they "can't" do that because the potato tacos are premade. That explanation made even less sense once the food came out. My girlfriend's potato tacos were served flat/open, while my dad's meat tacos came out hot in hard shells. So they clearly have hard shells and are actively serving them--we were simply asking for potato instead of meat in one. And nowhere on the menu does it explain that this isn't possible. In fact, the menu specifically labels other items "2 SOFT TACOS" and "2 HARD SHELL TACOS," while the potato option simply says "2 TACOS." It doesn't say soft, doesn't say they're premade, and doesn't say hard shell isn't an option. If there's some legitimate kitchen reason they can't put potato in a hard shell, that's fine. Just explain it politely and put it on the menu. Instead, the woman acted like we were asking for something completely ridiculous and was unnecessarily rude about a very simple request. Customers shouldn't be expected to know your kitchen's unwritten rules and then get an attitude for asking a question your own menu doesn't answer. Fix the menu or fix the attitude. Preferably both. We definitely won't be coming back

First things first, the restaurant location and the inside is nothing to write home about. There are ample tables there. The restroom works, but is nothing remotely close to fancy. That being said, we come to places like this for the food.. and let me tell you, this is the best favorite tacos in all of SoCal. Highlights would be the quesa- Birria tacos and the regular Birria tacos on a Tuesday. Tacos are pretty big with 2 being enough for me. For the smaller street tacos in other places I would need closer to 4 tacos. Service: 5 Food: 5+ Ambiance: low 3's Overall this place gets a 5!

I had been waiting for this place to open. Finally stoped by yesterday and it was open. (Take out only,) due to this situation we are living in. I could not resist to eat till i got to the house. I was hungry, so I ate in the car. Flavorful, Fluffy and Crispy, if that makes sense. I had a Fish Taco, Hardshell Shrimp, and sope Carne asada. My palate experience greatness! Reminded me of our trips to the beach in Playas Rosarito, my nanas food, and yummy food in general. You have to come try out for yourself. Aguas Frescas are tasty too. read more

Delicious food and prompt service. They close a little early, but if you can remember and get there before 8:00pm the food is well worth it!

HOMEMADE STYLE MEXICAN FOOD, be ready to wait a little since this is NOT a fast food style restaurant, everything is fresh and made to order. On the weekends they have hand made tortillas.

I ordered three quesa tacos dorados (crunchy cheese birria tacos), two regular birria tacos, and a small consome. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes and smelled delicious. Got home and we digged in. The quesa tacos are crunchy, full of meat, and tasted delicious with the consome. My son also enjoyed his tacos. The tacos come with limes, radishes, and red salsa. Didn't try the salsa since I just like eating them with lime and consome. It all came out to $27 and some change. They don't list their prices though and I think they should. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely order from them again.
