Love Tac/Quila- The margarita flight is phenomenal. The food is phenomenal!!! Love love this restaurant!!!

Wedding weekend in Palms Springs, and this is our first stop after dropping all our luggage off at the airport. Great spot!!! We came for the margarita flights, stayed for the food and service...and maybe for more drinks :). The drinks were sooo good! The margarita flight had 4 different flavors for $25. We also had Cadillac's, because when in Rome (in this case Palm Springs). The food: 1. Taco Nachos - these are been filled tacos that yoou can dip in guac and salsa. It was a great app to have when you're day drinking. 2. The birria tacos - this dish was super yummy and filling. The birria was seasoned very well. I love this cute spot. Very chic decor. I would def come back the next time I'm in town. read more

Food, excellent, creative, tasteful in both the dish and presentation. I ordered the taco chips, carnitas street tacos with rice and beans and a light margarita (low in salt and sugar with fresh squeezed juice). Service was outstanding. Food: All outstanding! Margarita, perfect! Ambiance, A bit on the noisy side due to the place was packed! A good sign the place is worth it! read more

If you're going to Tac/Quila, do yourself a favor and come hungry. The avocado tempura is dangerously good. It's crispy, creamy, and basically perfect especially if you dunk it in their spicy mango habanero salsa. I could've ordered three plates and called it dinner. For the main event, the grilled steak fajitas absolutely deliver. It's the kind of meal that makes everyone at neighboring tables ask, "Wait... what did THEY order?" And yes, the margarita flight is mandatory. Why choose one margarita when you can sample four and pretend it's "for research purposes"? Great food, fun atmosphere, and the perfect spot for tacos, tequila, and questionable decisions involving extra margaritas! read more

Been here once before, I've been dreaming about that green rice since the last time I was here. Today, I got the verde enchiladas with the green rice and the ceviche as an appetizer. The ceviche was very good! Really fresh with a tiny bit of spice.. just perfect. We sat outside, it was shaded but with the Palm Springs heat, I'd recommend trying to get a spot inside if you don't like the heat like me. They had misters so it wasn't too too b This place got a 3 star tho just cause of the wait. Bro! The wait is just crazy... where there for an hour and all we had received by then was our appetizers. read more

Brought my daughter and niece for brunch during Coachella weekend 1. It was very busy, but I had made a reservation and was seated immediately. Everyone is so friendly! Our server was so attentive and helpful with suggestions. The ambience gorgeous. It was a little chilly out, so we decided to sit inside. They have a front patio and also back one. My niece had the margarita flight, and they were so delicious! I had a Chavela which I wasn't a fan of, but it was OK. The food was absolutely delicious! I love their rice. My daughter had the camarones à la diabla and they were so spicy! I had the shrimp tacos, which I feel were a little overcooked. My husband had the fajitas which were so good, but a kind of small portion. All in all a great experience! read more

The food here was so good! Elevated Mexican food but super tasty. I loved their guacamole and chips and the fries avocado appetizer. I got the shrimp tacos with a flour tortilla.

April 2026 - Lunch Nice indoor/ outdoor seating Our server gave us a nice intro to drinks and the general menu The smoky salsa is legit :) Kids cheese quesadilla was rich Drinks menu was exhaustive with a lot of great options - I had the Mezcalita - muy bueno All the tacos hit the right spots ! And the rice on the side had a great taste - maybe refried or black beans would've been a better option ? Tres leches dessert was perfect for a group of 4 (size wise) Enjoyed our meal ! read more

We really enjoyed the food here. We sat outside in January and enjoyed the sunshine. Service was excellent. This was probably the best meal we had in our long weekend in Palm Springs. read more

The restaurant was very flexible and able to accommodate our large party when I called in to make same day reservations. To drink, I had the margarita flight--the prickly pear flavor was my favorite. I ordered the quesabirria and lobster tacos. The quesabirria was juicy and flavorful. I loved the side of rice. The lobster tacos with the orange sauce were amazing together! This was one of my favorite meals I had in Palm Springs. They gave generous portions of chips and salsa, and were nice to give us complimentary birthday dessert for our friend's birthday. read more

Lots of Yelp comments, so here's what I'll add. Our 4-top sat outside at street level. We enjoyed it very much, others may not, as it is a very busy street. You decide. Extensive drink and food options on the menu. The stuffed vegetable poblano is a special dish. The taquito app is nice too. We had a round of margs. They were tasty all around, I had a Cadillac, but the quantity was very small for $18. The inside seating area is very beautiful! Amy V was our server. She was excellent and knowledgeable of the menu. The bathrooms were super clean. Thanks for that. Reservations are a must. read more

Wow! You have to go here! The food and drinks were amazing! For drinks, we tried the Capas de Misterio, Te Enamore and Tres Agaves. Favorite was the Te Enamore (Mezcal, whiskey and Tamarind). We started with the taco chips. These are not ordinary chips and salsa. Corn tacos with refried beans, deep-fried and served with three dips. For the entree, I had the short rib enchiladas. The enchilada sauce was some of the best I have had and the beef was super tender and flavorful. Our server, Karen, was the best. We sat outside in the shade. Perfect! Get a reservation early because they fill up fast. read more

What went well? Everything! Lovely venue. Great food. Outstanding Service from Jayda. Got into Palm Springs and ready for lunch. Drove down the main drag of old Palm Spring and when we went by Tac Quila we said that's it. So obiviously, the curb side appeal snagged us. We weren't disappointed. With the beautiful weather we chose outside dining. They have a large area between the sidewalk that is very comfortable. We started with traditional margaritas on the rocks with an order of quacamole and chips. The quacamole was very good. The salsa was interesting in a good way. It was made from roasted red peppers. It had a wood smoke flavor. Really liked it. We both ordered shrimp street tacos and they were outstanding. They were delectable. Lovey experience. Prices $$$. read more

Place was busy and lively. Came here for dinner and had to wait about 40-50mins or so. They have patio seating, as well as a separate area seating with heaters above - which was where we sat, it did start to get a little too hot with those heaters though but would be too chilly to sit outdoors. Ordered two appetizers, big and made us full when our main entrees came out. Got the trio quesadillas and short rib enchiladas. Short rib enchiladas were a fan favorite. Overall - we left full and satisfied! read more

Tac/Quila - Shredded Chicken Nachos and trio ceviche - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Tac/Quila was hands down our favorite meal so far in Palm Springs. The outdoor seating area is exactly what you want in this part of town--beautiful, relaxed, and with heaters readily available when the temperature drops. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. Bonus points for having a great non-alcoholic beer option for my husband (the Pilsner was a win). I started with the white fish ceviche. The portion was huge and it came with a generous amount of chips. While it was very tasty, it leaned a bit heavier on the lime than I prefer and could've used a touch more sweetness for balance--so I probably wouldn't order it again, but still glad I tried it. My husband ordered the short rib tacos and WOW. These were to die for--and that's coming from someone who isn't usually a short rib fan. Packed with tender, flavorful meat, served with three generous sides: beans, garlic rice, and an absolutely delicious short-rib-filled sauce for dipping. The deep-fried flour tortillas held everything together perfectly and added amazing texture. We finished with the churro ice cream sandwich, which was the perfect ending. It came with whipped cream and strawberries on the side--simple, indulgent, and delicious. Prices were fabulous, we were completely stuffed, and everything felt like great value. Plenty of street parking available, plus a parking lot in the back. Bathrooms were clean and beautifully decorated. Michelin recognized for a reason--we'll definitely be back. read more

Hey... It's not everyday that you turn 42, but in October 2025, I did! And what better way to celebrate than with Tacos? But not just any tacos... I'm talkin' bout LOBSTER Tacos baby!!!! Wait until you see the pic!!!! But it wasn't the Lobster Tacos that made my night so special. It wasn't the fact that Tac/Quila is on the world renowned Michelin Guide recommended list of Restaurants to eat at. (No Michelin Stars, but still acknowledged by Michelin) It wasn't the vino or the Margarita flight. It wasn't even the melting Lava Cake with ice cream. It. Was. The. Company. Yeah, I might have turned 42, but that only means I am one year older, another year with more wisdom, experience and gratitude for the things that TRULY MATTER in life... Whom you choose to celebrate life's moments with in this thing called Life! Yes, for my birthday this year, I went to Palm Springs with my Amazing wife and our 3 beautiful children to celebrate my "Special Day". For my birthday, my wife booked a table at Tac/Quila which was just a short walk from our hotel. Upon our arrival, we were promptly seated at their outside patio table that lines N. Palm Canyon Drive. Fortunately, it's Palm Springs and the weather the 1st week of October was perfect! A glass of wine for me and a Margarita flight for the Mrs. Although the marg. flight was colorful and appeasing to the eyes... The sips I took from each one just weren't for me. I'm more of a classic margarita kinda guy and these were a little too much for my liking (one of them was too spicy to even enjoy). For our mains... I went the Lobster Tacos which get this... Is presented with a whole lobster tail (still in the shell) accompanied by 2 already dressed tortillas, a side of rice and a slaw. This was the highlight of the meal! My wife went with their verde green cheese enchiladas (her standard go to) and when I asked her last night before writing this review how they were, she said, "Enchilada like". Which translates to they tasted like verde enchiladas, but nothing to write home about. The kids shared some steak tacos which is my normal go to, but being that it was my birthday, I decided to get something special, hence the lobster tacos, which were FIRE! I tried a few pieces of steak from their tacos; it was flavored beautifully and had a nice char to it. (Check out the photo below for presentation). Of course, the word was out that it was my birthday so at the end of my meal, you know we had to have the melted lava cake with ice cream AND some Flan! Hey, YOLO baby! Not to mention you only turn 42 once! Service was good, the food presented showcased their creativity, innovation and a vibe that proves why Michelin put them on the list! So next time you are in Palm Springs and you want a little taste from South of the Border... Come check out Tac/Quila!!! read more

Beautiful restaurant, beautiful plates, beautiful drinks. Unfortunately I can't say that about the service. Our server was kind but the hostess had an attitude, didn't even acknowledge us when we got to the podium. The nachos were pretty good and I really enjoyed the drink, but the Chile poblano isn't anything to rave home about. Based on my experience the food is decently good but not worth the price. read more

Tac/Quila - Roasted Poblano Pepper & Chicken Nachos - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Tac/Quila is a Mexican restaurant on the Michelin Guide, so expectations were high, and it delivered. Definitely recommend making a reservation. It was packed when we went. We ordered the beer tempura avocado, grilled shrimp tacos, steak fajitas, a margarita flight, and the churro ice cream sandwich. Honestly, this was way too much food for me and my mom, but no regrets. The standout by far was the beer tempura avocado. I highly recommend it. I've never had anything like it. The outside was perfectly crispy, the inside was soft and fresh avocado, and the dipping sauce tied it all together. I'd come back just for that. The churro ice cream sandwich was also a win. Super crispy churro with ice cream in the middle, simple and very satisfying. Everything we had was solid, but if you're ordering strategically, don't skip the tempura avocado. Come hungry or be prepared to take leftovers home. read more

Tac/Quila - Grilled Lobster Tail Tacos - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Palm Springs, California

So my party and I stumbled upon this area after walking what felt like a century on Palm Springs. Well, we didn't stumble upon it-- it was actually on our itinerary of places to eat. FOOD: It was OK. We got the short ribs enchilada, tempura avocados, chips and guac, steak fajitas, Jamaica drink, & quesobirria. Chips and guac were way overpriced-- and their guac + salsa was... a choice. Tempura avocados were delicious, but can you ever go wrong with tempura avocados? The sauce for it was a keeper (I actually used it with my fajitas). The rest were OK, it wasn't super memorable but at least I'm not having food poisoning-- if that makes any sense. SERVICE: We got seated right away without a reservation on a Saturday afternoon (yayerz). Kudos to that. But good lord mother Teresa, it took what felt like 72 decades for us to get our main entrees. We literally ate all of our apps before the main entrees, it got to the point where only crumbs were left from our chips for us to receive our main entrees. Yes, CRUMBS! Also, I gave many confused stares to the workers, like a typical foodlicious asian, just to be like "hey where's our food?!" Eventually they did come (thank the lord). ATMOSPHERE: Very cute, I must say. There's even outdoor dinning too. But beware, there are cracks on the floor where things can get lost in those cracks. Our waitress even served some tea (not actual tea) when she dropped my credit card when I was paying. She told us that someone dropped their wedding ring down in the cracks and had to call the city to retrieve it. Now I'm not sure why or how she dropped it down there, maybe after getting down and dirty with the nachos after a one or two margitas? Anyways, the atmosphere here is chill. A decent place to catch up with friends-- definitely yapping more than eating cause the food here takes awhile. TLDR Turn Ons: - A good place to hang out/catch up - Fair customer service - No long waiting time Turn Offs: - Food was "meh" for the price. It was not spectacular nor the worst, but it was kinda pricy. - Very slow service, be prepared to wait read more

Great experience! We visited Palm Springs for a weekend and came here on a Friday night. We did a walk-in and waited about 30 min but there's plenty of shops and other things in the area to walk around and kill time. We sat outside, there were heat lamps and honestly the ambiance was great. Definitely the place for a date night or with friends. Food was great! We got the taco chips and shrimp ceviche for appetizers and they were both so good. The taco chips were so addicting! I got the carne asada plate as my entree. It was cooked medium rare, which honestly was a little under for my liking, however I still enjoyed it! Drinks were so good too, they had the perfect kick to them. Service was great as well! Our server was amazing and attentive, and even brought us some sauce for us to try when we couldn't decide on the ceviche or aguachile. Overall I would definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area again! :) read more

Tac/Quila has been consistently on the Michelin Bib Gourmand for a few years and am happy to report they are still delicious. Service was not the best this round. He seemed to be pretty pre occupied chatting with other staff members. While the other folks who drop off the food was more helpful. Make sure you order the avocado bites! It's always the group favorite. Plenty of free parking on the side. There's a huge sign. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in California! Each year we get to come to Palm Springs for work and we all know where dinner is going to be held on night one! The patio was so nice and the heaters were helpful! We enjoyed so much good food and laughter! These flavors are so delicious and authentic and creative to Mexican cuisine. There is typically a line when we arrive later at night, but it's worth whatever they say the wait is! I love this place and as a born and raised Arizonan, this Mexican food does not disappoint! read more

We landed in Palm Springs and 30 minutes later we were seated outdoors Tac/Quila! Lulu was our sever and she started us off with a cocktail (shown) called a Soul sister! And then we have shrimp, tacos, fish tacos, and short rib enchiladas! They warned us as some of the dishes were a little spicy. We agreed that that was fine and I noticed people were asking for extra pico de gallo because it was so good! Everything was good overall it seemed like we got there just in time cause a lot of people started coming and waiting in line for tables inside and out after we got there! The environment was nice! I would recommend Tac/Quila read more

Tac/Quila comes highly recommended by the Yelp universe, so we had to check it out- especially since it's dog-friendly with a patio. We stopped by on a busy Saturday afternoon and were seated in the lively back patio, surrounded by other diners and plenty of pups. Service was a bit slow but friendly. I had my eye on a mocktail called the Matador, but they were mid-menu change and weren't serving it, so I took it as a sign from the universe to hydrate. We started with the street corn, which I really wanted to love. The corn itself was sweet and well cooked, but it was a little too oily and sauced-up to feel like classic street corn. Not bad, just busy - 3/5 stars. The fried fish tacos were the standout. The fish was lightly battered, flaky, and clearly a standout dish. That said, my husband's tacos showed up with noticeably larger pieces of fish than mine. His looked like full fillets, mine like the fun-size version. The handmade flour tortillas were tasty but unfortunately cold, though the fresh avocado salsa helped pull everything together. Bonus points for the dog-friendly patio, our pups were immediately offered water (even if they acted too fancy to drink it). Overall, solid tacos and a great spot to hang with your dogs if you don't mind a little hustle and bustle. read more

A gem in Palm Springs! Great drinks and food in a nice space. The service is pretty good and helpful. The margarita flight is really tasty and highly recommend as they are all well made and delish!

It's a beautiful place and the food was overall very good, but there were some service issues not expected in aMichelin star restaurant. An entree came with shrimp filling versus the short rib ordered. I would have sent it back, but the waiter didn't check in to see if everything was OK and I didn't want my guest to be eating alone. Perhaps more disconcerting was our perceived judgment from the server at our choices of wine. Confirm & smile, serve without comment or facial disdain! read more

Beautiful restaurant on N Palm Canyon, so convenient and they serve margaritas! Tres Agaves is just what it says, three tequilas, lime juice, bitters and simple syrup. Incredible. Then there's the Mescalita, mescal, orange liqueur, orange juice, lime juice and orange bitters. Both are creative, colorful and so flavorful. Ahi tuna salad and grilled avocado salad were both spectacular. Check out the pictures. Your meal as artwork plus flavor. Our server had suggestions and checked back often.

My girlfriend and I spent the weekend in Palm Springs and decided to go to Tac/quila on a Sunday evening. We had reservations and the hostess asked us if we wanted to sit outside or inside. We initially said inside, but asked if we can move to the tables that are right next to the street. It was a nice evening, so it was a great time to be in the open air. They have hanging rope lights for ambiance and the staff was quite friendly. Once we knew what we wanted, our server took our order and our drinks and appetizers came out about 15-20 minutes later. We usually don't eat until all of our food comes out, but our server held our main order for after we had the appetizers. It wasn't his fault as that is the normal way to do things, but we do like to get a good pic for memories and for reviews like this. We ordered the margarita flight to share as it allowed us to try the 4 flavors. The drinks were on the weak side, but they did have nice flavor. I liked them all, but my girl friend wasn't a fan of the cucumber one. We ordered a half dozen of the aquachile oysters and fried calamari for appetizers. The calamari is exactly what you expect and was served with a smoked creama sauce and green chile sauce. The oysters were excellent, super fresh and topped with shrimp, peppers, lime juice. It was served with limes, lemons, and I'm not quite sure what the main sauce was. For the main course, we shared an order of Shrimp and Steak fajitas with flour tortillas. Basically two of the options for the fajitas. The shrimp and steak were juicy and had a nice flavor. They were served with Spanish rice, beans, guacamole, and 3 tortillas. I enjoyed them all, but given the amount of items that come with the fajitas, I think they should provide 4-5 tortillas. In any case, the fajitas dish was good and we left satisfied. One thing that we weren't a fan of is that they allowed solicitors approach diners on the street tables while we are eating. Possibly the worst time to be approached is when you just begin your meal. Other than that, we found Tac/quila enjoyable. read more
