    A great find thanks to yelpers helpers! They serve vegan options-yay!. Had a delicious vegan chorizo taco and vegan burrito with cheese, and the most delicious sautéed veggies. Great salsa that came with complementary chips. Refill chips are additional. Cute decor inside, plenty of seating and upbeat music. Recommend for good Mexican food.

    Asada Nachos
    Ashley L.

    Ordered the Asada nachos to go. The meat was not very good and was tough. However, the guacamole was so fresh and some of the best that I've had. The staff were very friendly and the food was made very quickly. Would not order the nachos again and the salsa was not quite right to me either.

    Quesabirria

    After spending the day in the park, decided to stop by for a quick bite. Queso birria was yummy and filling. Horchata and pineapple agua fresca were refreshing and delicious, perfect after spending the day in the dessert! Quick service, it was towards closing time but I thought overall the place could be cleaner.

    Had lunch for the first time La Caguama. The food was bursting with flavor. Our server was on point--super friendly and kept the chips coming. Loved the no frills, laid-back, and colorful vibe (several vibrant murals inside). If you want delicious Mexican eats in Yucca, this is the spot.

    Caldo de birria (birria soup, and in this case, beef), tender and delicious.

    It's not easy to get good birria in Southern CA. And it's definitely not easy to find it in the high desert. That's what makes this especially fantastic. Shown is the Caldo de Birria (birria soup), a slow-cooked beef soup, in this case, served with tortillas and diced onions and cilantro and four slices of lime. Delicious, very tender, and good cuts of beef. The first time I had birria was from a noted chef of a restaurant from central Mexico. I was hooked, utterly hooked, and every other time I've had birria, I've hoped that it would be as good as that. While none have ever matched them, some have been super delicious. And I'm happy to say that La Caguama is one of them. And for it to be near my house is even better. The horchata came in an enormous mug that you could go scuba diving in. It was good, more of a sort of frothy, almost slushy version of horchata that I'm not used to, but was tasty nonetheless. And did I mention that it was H-U-G-E? Good friendly service, lots of large frescoes of Vicente Fernández and Frida Kahlo as well as those old Mexican stand-bys, Elvis and Marilyn Monroe (just kidding). Comfortable large space. Definitely recommended!

    Extensive menu made choosing a challenge. Finally settled on the combo plate with shredded beef enchilada and chili relleno with rice and beans. Both were served piping hot with chips and salsa to start. Beers were available in 24 oz and 32 oz only. La Caguama is translated to loggerhead sea turtle or colloquially slang for the 32 oz beer which is shared in 8 oz glasses. Maria, our server was attentive without being a pest. They have outdoor, pet friendly seating but since Gidget was so well behaved, Maria bent the rules and accommodated us.

    I love this place. The Chile Relleno and its tacos are unbelievable. Everything else I've had has been wonderful also.

    Out visiting Joshua Tree from SD with my wife and daughter last week. We always stop by Kasa Market…read moreto hit the carniceria and taco shop in back on our way out on Hwy 62. Our last experience proved to be as solid as all our past visits. We always pick up meat to cook at our site or kitchen and always stop for lunch or breakfast before packing the cooler and heading east. Picked up 2 lbs of chorizo, some cheese and tortillas from the market and we got welcoming vibes and friendly customer service from the butcher and the girl working the register. The taco shop in back is super legit too. I got 6 tacos (2 asada, 2 adobada, and 2 carnitas), my wife got cheese enchiladas with red sauce, and my daughter got a bean, rice, cheese burrito. Everything was insanely good and properly cooked per usual. As others have mentioned, the tortillas are super fresh and fluffy. The enchilada sauce is some of the best red sauce you can get north of the border. All 3 types of tacos were properly marinaded and cooked to perfection. Bomb guacamole and hot sauce for the tacos. My daughter loved her burrito as well. We never drive past Kasa Market without stopping by and they NEVER disappoint!

    This spot is definitely on our lunch list each time we're in the area! Freshly prepared food,…read morefluffy tortillas and yummy marinated meats. I ordered the three rolled tacos with rice and beans. Love the fresh guacamole, lettuce, tomato's & cotija cheese on top! The menu includes the following: tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, enchiladas, tostadas, nachos, asada fries, combo plates, family pack (includes one pound meat, rice, beans, onion, cilantro, red or green salsa, flour or corn tortillas and liter of soda), catering (five or ten pounds of meat), breakfast plates and burritos. Meats to choose from: asada, pollo, alpastor, carnitas, deshebrada, lengua, tripa and buche. Nice, friendly, employees, great food, plenty of parking out front and in the back. Note; inside is a small seating area, however you can get it to go. Wish they were closer so I could visit more often!

    What a vibe!!…read more Visiting Joshua Tree and had to make a stop here! Options for coffee or a cocktail, what a cool concept. They have cool art work and merch. Staff are super friendly and had great customer service. We tried the Banana nut latte, salted caramel cold brew, Arnold Palmer and a cocktail El Compsnero. All were super tasty! I would add a little extra swetner when getting a tea, but we enjoyed our mid day pick me up! The photo booth was so much fun! We had a blast getting our pics. Just overall a dope place!

    Overhyped and not worth it…read more The place looks really nice inside, but unfortunately, that's about the only positive thing I can say. I ordered the blueberry hibiscus, and it was terrible there was barely any flavor at all. It was so bad that I ended up throwing it away, which felt like a complete waste of money. My friend ordered the matcha latte, and that was just as disappointing. The matcha was extremely watered down and had very little flavor. To make things worse, the cashier was rude and had a standoffish attitude, which made the experience even less enjoyable. The AC also wasn't working, so it was uncomfortable inside. Overall, this place is way overhyped. The interior is cute, but the drinks and customer service were a huge letdown. Definitely not worth the money or the hype.
