Best pulled pork around, and the loaded cornbread and smoked Mac n Cheese is delish. I would highly recommend.

We live in 29 Palms & just both ate "The Mother Load" very good. Prices were very reasonable. Just wish they had ice. We will be back.

We've finished all the leftovers and are craving more. It was seriously spectacular! We showed up with all the standard wedding catering challenges. Large party, dietary restrictions, tight budgets, big ambitions and a desire for everything to be *perfect.* Merilee walked us through the entire process with calm professionalism, talking us through options, listening to our ideas and sharing her extensive expertise. We narrowed it down to two equally delicious sounding menus and made the final call after an AWESOME tasting. Every single thing we tried was scrumptious! We left that night genuinely excited to share this feast with our guests and full of confidence that the final event would be a success. But the wedding exceeded even those stellar expectations. The food, presentation, service and staff were all simply flawless. It's no surprise that Merilee was recommended by our wedding venue, our welcome party venue and every local wedding planner we interviewed. Mojave Monaco is both beloved and respected by everyone who has had the pleasure of working with them. They are consummate professionals who treat everyone involved with real consideration, who take tremendous pride in their work and are committed to delivering excellence in absolutely every respect. Plus they are just straight up lovely folks. If you get the chance, hire them immediately. We would again in a heartbeat. Thank you guys!

Visited Kitchen in the Desert on the weekend for their brunch, and it was a lovely experience! We…read moresat inside due to the heat, which unfortunately had a lot of flies buzzing around the table. Otherwise though, this was a great experience. We really liked the shakshouka, especially paired with the sour dough. I thought the tortilla de patata was fine - I enjoyed it, but it could have used more flavor / "brava" sauce. Service was attentive and helpful with recommendations. I'd love to go back when the weather cools down and enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating area.

Having traveled extensively this past month and eaten at our fair share of restaurants, this…read moreexperience unfortunately missed the mark when it came to service. Our waiter, Andrew, spoke proudly about the impressive restaurants he had previously worked at -- I believe I even heard Nobu mentioned -- which raised our expectations for attentive hospitality. Sadly, that level of experience never really made its way to our table. Simple things like refilling waters, checking in, or asking if we'd like another cocktail never happened after our initial interaction. It genuinely felt like we were forgotten for most of the evening, which was disappointing considering the caliber of restaurant this aims to be. Thankfully, the food itself helped redeem the experience, and the rest of the staff we encountered were warm and pleasant. Because of that, we're willing to give it another try tomorrow and are hopeful for a better overall experience next time.
