    Forgive me, I had to eat and THEN take a photo. #Famished

    I've read the reviews that while good, it's pricey. I'm here to tell you, IT'S WORTH IT. I'm new to the CV and on a whim after an appointment, decided to take a chance. I've never had a hot, full breakfast delivered in less than five minutes. The staff is terrific. This styrofoam go-to may look sloppy, but that's just because I dove in, face first before taking a picture.

    Quick stop for a quick bite. Location flowed with our travel plans. Needed a place right next to a gas station, and right off the freeway. It's a win win! Although Goody's offers Drive Thru service, we opted to dine inside (outdoor patio available as well). We wanted to stretch our legs and enjoy some good AC- since we took the twisty roads from San Diego and wanted the preferred scenic route. The menu has plenty to offer, and I do love a good Taco Salad. The ground beef is seasoned well, THANK YOU for not having bland meat! The taco salad is huge. Refried beans underneath the meat- yum! And the fried flour tortilla bowl was lightly fried and crispy. Good enough to pinch off sections from the taco salad bowl and scoop those yum yums up. It's a hit and miss when salsa is plentiful. I requested an additional side of salsa (60 cents). And the original serving was more than enough

    The staff here are amazing; always friendly and patient. Always clean location and the food is amazing. I used to frequent when I worked nearby, and never had a bad experience.

    Goody's is a small independent Burger chain out here in the Coachella valley. I've been going to them for years and one of the issues I've always had is I think that they are overpriced. I just went to the one in Palm desert and it is a fairly new site. I think, the building looks pretty new. It's very clean and it's a very nice location. All of the workers there are very nice and helpful so I have no issues with them. I just think that their pricing is a little bit out of line. I got the chicken melt which has avocado and bacon and it was delicious. Instead of fries I went with onion rings and a Coke for my upgrade to a combo. All of this was around $24 in change. That is some pricey lunch time stuff. So while this place has a breakfast, lunch and dinner burgers, sandwiches, Mexican food etc. It is too pricey in my opinion

    This is a really nice location. We have been to most of the Goody's in the desert and this is by far the nicest one. Super fast friendly service and the food is on point. This is going to be one of our go to stops from now on when we go to hockey across the freeway. Can't believe we have never stopped here before. Keep up the solid atmosphere!

My daughter and I stood at the entrance for several minutes without being greeted. During that time, the manager was visibly overwhelmed and speaking harshly to the young hostesses, who appeared uncomfortable and trying to maintain composure. Despite this, no one acknowledged us until I offered a friendly "Happy Cinco de Mayo," at which point a hostess kindly stepped in to seat us. Unfortunately, the situation escalated. Twice, as we were being seated, the manager abruptly intervened -- placing reserved signs down and yelling at the hostess, myself and daughter we could not sit there. His tone was harsh, dismissive, and unnecessarily confrontational. This happened two times at two different tables that we were escorted to by the hostess and in front of my young daughter. Needless to say it was both uncomfortable and humiliating. I have never experienced a restaurant manager behave with this level of disrespect toward a guest, especially a woman with her child. I felt embarrassed and heartbroken that my daughter had to witness this. When I calmly approached him to understand the situation, he responded by stating they had "400 reservations," followed by dismissive and aggressive body language that made it clear we were not welcome. The interaction ended with us leaving and both tears. My daughter said "I'm scared mommy, why was that man so mean". A guest from the restaurant who was dinning and witnessed the incident came out just to see if we were ok. Equally concerning was how he treated his own staff, especially female staff setting a negative and unprofessional tone throughout the front of house. As someone from a fourth-generation family in the restaurant industry, I find this especially disheartening. I would be deeply concerned if any manager in our organization treated a guest or employees this way. I understand holidays are demanding, but being busy does not excuse a lack of basic respect and professionalism. I am sharing this in hopes that upper management addresses this directly. No woman / person and her child should have to experience this kind of treatment.

Since moving here some nine months ago I've eaten at a dozen or so. Some OK. Most very good, some great and even one awful. Guadalajara Café & Bar is an absolute stand out. It's my new go to spot. I knew I was in a good place when I saw how many people walked in and were clearly known to the staff as regulars. The decor is simple, clean and you can see the cooks working through the busy pass through. Plenty of parking. The chips are fresh, crispy and lightly salted. The salsa is outstanding with the right amount of heat. It was lunch time and I'm not much for alcohol so I didn't try any of the drink offerings this visit... next time! Between two of us we ordered the fish tacos which were excellent. Also had the chili relleno which, unless I'm mistaken was battered and fried when ordered, not left sitting waiting to be ordered, huge difference! And the sauce on the relleno was perfect. Also had the mole enchilada with it. Again, unless I'm mistaken the mole was made fresh in house and was the best I've had in a long time. The waitstaff was great efficient, attentive and made sure we were happy. And were they hustling! Busy place and they didn't miss a thing. Five stars across the board food, staff, venue... even pricing! To quote a famous movie line, "I'll be back" Sorry no photos, I was too busy eating LOL.
