    Turkey bacon in spinach wrap! Grade A ... layered and generous ingredients! 60c for ranch, tasted quality. Hubbs got Goody's breakfast burrito.Grade B-...He said he liked it and was good! Salsa had a little kick. Unsweetened tasted like it was freshly brewed. Service good..food came out quickly! Good amount of seating. Right by Denny's, and rather go here vs anywhere too crowded. Bathrooms decent.

    I was very disappointed with my visit to this "Goody's". I frequently go to a different Goody's which is in Palm Desert. I always have great food, service and clean everywhere. THIS location is exactly opposite. Maricela has to be one of the most UNPROFESSIONAL and CONDESCENDING server/ cashier I've experienced in along time. First I ordered a simple Number 28. She punched in the wrong food and when I asked for no potatoes, she said "Oh you wanted something different, I thought it was eggs and bacon". Then when I got my order she put in the wrong eggs or the chef made the wrong food. I asked for eggs over medium. So when she brought food it was scrambled eggs. I asked if I could get the over medium that I ordered. And while standing in front of me on her headset said "Did he order scrambled eggs? Then she just walked away. When she brought my eggs she said ( while holding my eggs back) " I need those scramble back first!" In a very attitude of a way. Not to mention the bathrooms were dirty and they talk real loud, and not professionally between them and the cooks. I am VERY disappointed with this location.

    Supposed to be a 3 piece chicken strips. I got two and a nugget.

    Would go to the Dennys right across but finally decided to give this place a shot since family members have recommended it to me. The place inside was clean and a few people, and was able to order right away once we figured out what to get. It was still breakfast time so that's what we got. They do have a good sized menu of different things but wanted to try their French toast. It was about 10-15 min and they bring the food out to your table. Not sure if they do that if it's really busy but it was nice that they did. Especially since at the time of this review I recently had surgery so been on crutches. I finished all my food, except the bacon, which I usually don't finish but it came with the combo I got. The bacon tasted good but like usual salty. But we both enjoyed our food and were satisfied. Definitely would come back to try other things on their menu. Hopefully they are good as what we got for breakfast.

    This place was a great spot to eat breakfast! Everything was so so good. The girl at the register was so nice and friendly! We even had a little conversation about my purse she was the sweetest! Wish I got her name so I could shout her out. The inside was also very clean and had AC.

    I'm here a few times a week for years. Staff is always cordial and helpful. Food is good and consistent. Best goodies in the Coachella valley. I think I've tried all of them.

    Philly cheesesteak no green peppers. It was good. But the fries were too salty.

    Such an awful experience. I ordered a tuna melt with avocado and added tomato and lettuce. They did not want to take my coupon. Then I look in my sandwich, there was a piece of avocado no bigger than my thumb! and barely spread on . I went back to tell them. They said that's the amount they put. For $3.60? That's robbery! The girl gave me attitude and try to argue. She even took the sandwich back into the kitchen after I already opened it and handled my food and showed the cooks. She gave me a rude reply on what did I want them to do about it. Either a refund or they could give me more. Umm you mean give me the amount that's worth almost $4? I should've just gone to the store for it. Honestly I should have asked for the refund because the small sauce cup of what they gave me of avocado was worse! It was going bad and already turning black. I didn't want to argue and just left. The lettuce was so old and inedible and there were hard pieces of bread (?) in my sandwich . Also hard breading on the zucchini that could've chipped a tooth! Definitely not coming back! Almost $30 ( almost $14 for the melt alone, zucchini almost $9, two ranches .60 cents each and $3.59 avocado), definitely not worth it!

    We pretty much have tried every location that we pass. It's affordable truck stop style; not up scale expensive resturaunt. *Palm Desert if our favorite. Five stars *Palm Springs IF you eat in, it's great. Drive through I'd pass. *Thousand Palms is okay (photo is from here).

    Pleasantly surprised at how awesome our food was here. I've driven by here for years and never stop. The staff was super friendly, and our food came out extremely fast. Everything was great. The Philly was epic and the others in my group had wraps and said they were great as well. I will definitely be stopping here more often. Keep it up Goody's.

    Interior is nice and clean!

    Fast food choices nearby, but we wanted breakfast and saw this next to Denny's which had more reviews and less stars. Come here and you won't be sorry. Could see our vehicle through the shades and have a nice clean atmosphere, friendly employees and most importantly the food looked and tasted good for a reasonable price. The toast was the only thing I didn't really like. The "butter" texture and taste was more like a very yellow oil. But the three eggs and steak and hash browns were a nice size to split. (We almost always split our food so it's great when the portions are good.) Hubby said the Mexican food that was being served looked good too, so we will try lunch another time.

    better food across dennys  too expensive dennys has better prices food tates awful

    Food is ok, but it's more like a fast food joint, definitely not a comfortable sit-down restaurant type of place.

    El Ranchito Taco Shop - Combo #8: Two Hard Shell Tacos with Rice and Beans

    2024- We stopped by El Ranchito Taco Shop a couple of years ago, and I still think about those…read moretacos to this day. 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.

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.
