Taco Mark

I asked ChatGPT to recommend the best Mexican restaurant in the Coachella Valley--the kind of place…read moreyou'd take an elite chef visiting from Mexico to show off just how good our Mexican food can be. El Tranvía in Coachella was the top recommendation. I tried it, and damn, I see why! It's amazing. Their birria tatemada is out of this world, and the aguas frescas are to die for. Hands down, this is the best birria I've had outside of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Absolutely worth the trip!

Whoa flavor explosion! The food here is so good…read more Service was a bit slow, and the food took a while to come out. We also had to figure out on our own that we needed to grab our own salsas. They have a salsa bar near the cash register. All was forgiven once the food came. The carne asada in both the tacos and burritos was so flavorful, and I loved the homemade fresh tortillas. The salsas were all tasty, though definitely all on the spicy side. What really stood out to us were the camarones zarandeados (grilled shrimps). The sauce on them was delicious! They also have a full bar, and I couldn't help but notice everyone ordering these yummy looking red margaritas with a chamoy rim! Too bad it was a little too early for me to try one. However my husband did enjoy the beer. The decor is fun and lively, with a stage right in the middle. It was nice that the owner/manager came by to check in on us.

LOCATION: In Old Town La Quinta, OTLQ easy to find, tons of parking but at times it gets busy so you may have to walk a bit. FACILITY: very traditional inside and out, clean, and lots of space between tables. MENU: rather massive, we usually order the same things so all the other options makes my head hurt so we just go with what we know. FOOD PREP: excellent, always looks the same which is a good things. FOOD QUALITY: some of the best in the valley. LIBATIONS: lots of choices and not too expensive, wish they had a locals city of LQ discount like some of the other options in OTLQ.. WAITSTAFF: very nice, everyone. OVERALL VALUE: if you order the right things, it is a great value but you can go nuts and spend a lot, tourist dollars spend well, upselling happens for those who want it and deserve it!

I had to work out of town next to this Taco Mark, at the Familia Clinica. I was so hungry after work my mouth was watering for carne asada burrito, but I was so disappointed I ordered extra carne asada extra cheese extra sour cream and extra guac. I got the burrito it tasted like it was scrapped of the corner of the grill where they keep all the oil scraps of food. there was no guac,there was no cheese and thier was no sour cream it was horrible I'll. never order from these guys again read more

I ordered four tacos for $1.50 each so total of six dollars for four tacos. Thinking rice and beans wouldn't be that much. I decided to order rice and beans. And a Mexican Coca-Cola. I was done to see my bill for $18.48. There is no signage about the cost of rice and beans nor the cost of the soda. So after looking into it. I realized four dollars for the rice four dollars for the beans and four dollars for the soda so technically for rice and beans in a soda it came up for $12 +6 dollars for the four tacos. This is unbelievable. I definitely will not be coming back if this is how they charge customers. I asked for a menu and I was told there was no menu to look at the prices. Tacos were good because of the tortillas. But the meat was OK very small amount of meat by the way. This is not worth $18.48. Not to mention the service was very put off by me asking about the cost of the rice and beans.

Walking in, is a trip back to the hole in the wall style restaurants out of "desperado", the movie, and the first thing you notice isn't the view, but the music. It's like you're welcomed by the band themselves of whoever is on the speakers. Ambiance overall was very welcoming and the staff there is super attentive to your needs. It is a seat yourself kinda place and that's exactly what I did. A lot of people also came in to pick up food to go, which also is a good omen for what I was about to expect as far as the quality of the food... as yes, the food: Indeed I wasn't wrong about the omen... I ordered the chicken caldo, and it had an excellent broth base. Then came the lemon for me, a bit of their homemade green salsa, because it was spicy, can't do spicy well... and it hit great. Hearty veggies, and huge pieces of chicken. Accompanied by homemade corn tortillas, a small bowl of rice and a cup of hibiscus leaf juice (agua de Jamaica) it all was a meal worthy of a king. I left a very happy camper. Not hungry for almost the whole day and didn't have anything better to eat for the rest of the day. Super satisfying and filling. I'm looking forward to the next visit to try something else. But I'm sure I won't be disappointed with the next visit. My stomach's growling just talking about this place. Haha. THANKS!

She would also just stare at us with annoyance and it honestly ruined our mood. Again the food was delicious but I would appreciate if they would have a talk with her about costumer service.
