This is our 4th visit to the festival. But first time in the morning on Sunday. BIL found street…read moreparking two blocks away. It's free admission. We entered on foot through Santa's Workshop. When we left after 12 noon, Santa himself was there. The first thing we did was visited all the sponsor tables where we picked up swag. College of the Desert had some nice items - stress ball, lip balm, highlighters, etc. Then it was tamale time. Which vendor? Sis and I lined up at the longest line one. We waited about 1/2 hour but spoke to a couple ahead of us who told us which vendors they enjoyed. The longest line was Casa De Silvia. I heard snatches of people's conversations about the chili relleno tamale. When I got up to the order counter I ordered it plus chicken in green sauce and pork in red. The chili relleno tamale lived up to its reputation. Very good. Filled with cheese and chopped green poblano stuffed. Yummy. Later I got a pineapple tamale from The Tamale Fiesta booth. Said came with pineapple pieces. I didn't see any in mine. There's an eating area with canopies that offered much needed shade. We ate our tamales there. Hubby & I made an observation - there seemed to be less tamale vendors than in the past. But the ones that participated offered delicious tamales. We did a complete circle of the festival. Ample porta potties. After a couple of hours we exited.

We tried many tamales and were disappointed in most of them. Barely took any home to freeze for later. We drive from Riverside every year but probably won't go for 2026. It's just not worth our time anymore. Riverside has a much smaller but better quality vendors festival in late April so we'll probably just attend that one and get our freezer tamales there.

I love food trucks and think most of the time they have some of the best food. They were located in front of a convenient store which was easily accessible from the street. We spent a little over $40, and for that price, the portions were very underwhelming. The street mulitas came with no guacamole, a skimpy amount of cheese, and barely any meat onion and a little cilantro... come on now. See pic below. The tacos themselves were just meat, onions, and cilantro--super basic--but the biggest issue was the meat again. It had a smoky flavor, but it was dry. Nothing juicy about it at all. Honestly, if the mulitas at least had enough cheese, it might have helped mask the dryness, but nope. Between the dry meat and the stiff corn tortillas, it just wasn't hitting. The sauces did have good flavor, but if you're someone with a mild tolerance for spice, they may be a bit much--so that didn't really save the meal either. I ended up taking the food back and asking for guacamole and somehow he didn't understand English at this point. He gave me some in four small sauce containers, and when I pointed out the lack of cheese on the mulitas, he handed us shredded white cheese in foil to add ourselves (as shown in the photo). That alone says a lot. Overall, I wouldn't revisit, especially just passing through town. There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to quality and portion sizes for the price.

Messaged the bakery, and they said the only place near me in Orange County where I could buy their products was at Frasier Farms in Oceanside. Bought them there for a little while, until the store stopped carrying them. I explained to the REAL Baker's Wife" that they would really have a market here, throughout Orange County, CA, and to "please" expand! Well, I haven't seen it anywhere, so I figured they went out-of-business. Apparently NOT!!! Knowing they sell at the Thursday night market/street faire in Palm Springs, and my favorite coconut cream pie is at Billy Reed's restaurant, YOU CAN BE SURE WE WILL BE MAKING A SEVERAL-DAY RV trip to the Palm Springs area! TRULY, I have been to Europe a number of times, including Paris, France, and the brioche dinner rolls were "right there" with the best Parisian bakeries! I can honestly taste them now.....

We came here tonight on a Wednesday night. My son had a baseball practice and we wanted to give him…read moreand his little sister some pizza for dinner. When we came in we were greeted by a very nice girl with Red Highlights in her hair. I would tell you her name but there were no name badges. We placed our order at the counter and proceeded to wait almost 45 minutes for our salad to come to our table. Our pizza came next about 10 minutes later and then one half of our order of wings came out about 4 minutes after the pizza. The other half came out about 2 minutes after that. If you're reading this and wondering if that order seems off, we thought the same thing. We ordered an X-Large Pizza half pepperoni and half cheese. We ordered an order of 12 Buffalo Wings mild and 12 Sheri-something wings.(Their signature wings.) We also ordered a large BBQ salad. The pizza seemed like the cheese side was a little thinner than the pepperoni side. This may be usual and I'm not sure because it was our first time here. To be fair I don't mind the crust a little thinner so this was okay. The flavor wasn't bad to be honest on anything we ate but nothing was super spectacular that would have warranted an hour wait. I also forgot to mention they were not busy. When we came in there were still several tables empty. Mind you it's not a big dining room. Going back to the service. They only gave us 2 plates to eat our food. We are a family of 4. When I asked for 2 more plates they never brought them back so I had to go ask for 2 more plates at the register. The plates they gave me were wet and the girl said sorry they just got washed. We also asked for Blue Cheese with the wings and got ranch. Not a big deal but the girl said she would bring the blue cheese out to us and we never got it. We just ended up eating ranch instead. We also used the restroom and the floors were slippery. Not sure how that happens but my son thought they were slippery because he had cleats on and I let him know daddy has regular shoes and I was still slipping. No idea why the floor was slippery. I just figured they didn't mop correctly? The girl with the red highlights was doing her best. She really was trying to do everything it seemed. There were several dirty tables of people who were eating before we got there and had left. I put some pictures on here just to show we weren't exaggerating. I'm not sure if this place was short staffed or this was a regular night but I can assure you me and my family would never go back. Not sure how this place had 4.3 stars but I would never refer this place based off of our experience.
