Al pastor burrito
Tawny V.

Really cute spot with great service and tasty food. However, at $3 for super small tacos, I'd definitely need to come back and try more before making a final judgment. I ordered a California burrito and an al pastor burrito. I absolutely loved the flavors in the al pastor, it was packed with delicious spices and juicy meat. The California, on the other hand, felt a bit lacking, maybe because the cheese wasn't melted, which affected the overall flavor. It didn't help that the week before, I had an incredible California burrito from a hidden gem, so my expectations were high. The service was very friendly, and the ambiance inside was cute and coooold, definitely a nice place to hang out. Just a heads-up, they charge for chips and extra salsa! Meh

Tacos Gonzalez won out as our chosen spot for lunch when doing a cursory search of Mexican food spots in Indio. It's more of a hole in the wall type place with just a few tables, lacking any sort of vibe or ambiance, even though it seemed quite popular with locals. We ordered chips & salsa, 2 chicken tacos, a cheese quesadilla, and a side of fries. Everything was pretty underwhelming and mediocre in taste, with nothing really standing out. While they did the job of filling us up, the food was kind of bland and lacking in flavor. Service was friendly, although we weren't there that long stopping in for a quick lunch. In retrospect, I would have rather spent a little bit more money and gone to a proper sit down Mexican place or just hit up a fast food option rather than eat at Tacos Gonzalez. I would rate them a 2.5 out of 5, but given their decent ratings online, I may have just caught them on an off day.

Their prices have really gone up. For a tiny crunchy taco over 5 dollars. I like your food and service, but time to find a new taqueria.

Went to dinner at 4 PM.......with a two year old........didn't feel very welcome, as we are not one…read moreof their their 'frequent' diners.........Seating was in a tight space with a high chair, considering we were the first diners there. Service was adequate, but had to ask for more water, chips, etc ! Meals were good, but chimichanga not deep fried.....more like a burrito ! Rather disappointing experience this time with our kids...... have been there before with a much better experience ! Will give it another try.........

SHORT ANSWER: Just an update, but Casa Mendoza seems to be just getting better. Some new staff but…read morefood quality and people here are very welcoming. 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! TIP: Sitting outside is great most all year, we don't go out when it is crazy hot, but have dined outside in 100+ temps, we prefer the front outdoor space.

DH and I have passed this restaurant several times. We finally decided to stop for lunch on a…read moreThursday around noon. The place was virtually empty! Obviously not a popular lunch spot but maybe that would mean we'd get great service! First impression , the place is neat but kinda shoddy on the outside. We were met with a very strong "old" smell on the inside. Perhaps mildew or mold issues? Darkish interior but seemed neat. It looked like 1 person handling all the front waitressing and cashiering. She was polite and relatively quick with our order of nice cold beer in a frosted glass. A positive sign and the food arrived relatively quickly. Again we were the only patrons that we saw. The chili relleno was meh. Absolutely nothing special . Perfect match to the meh cheese enchilada. Beans were not our cup of tea. Much too blended. No texture or flavor at all. The taco salad with chili Colorado was equally as underwhelming. There was a decent amount of chili in my salad. Sadly it was horrible. Tasted old , dry and mushy. Quite a unique combination of textures and flavors that were not good. Decent sized but could have done with a lot more fresh vegetables. Perhaps added cheese or maybe elote? Really needs work. I have read all the fantastic 4 star reviews and just don't get it. Maybe it's a better fit for the Indio nightlife and not the daytime crowd
