Cali Food Truck was out at the Desert Int Horse Part for the Desert Holiday jumping show. They…read moredidn't have the prestigious parking place in the barns but I was great for us rides. The truck became our breakfast and lunch stop for the 4 days we were on site. The breakfast burritos stared off the families day. The Birria tacos and consommé made lunch work. My son lived on the hotdog with French fries. The service was fast, clean, and smooth. Only con was the coffee was weak but not worth dropping a star. The food was too good. I will look for them again.

Sometimes writing reviews isn't that much fun. After having a less than average experience with…read morethe food of a restaurant, I try to look at the circumstances surrounding the meal and maybe find reasons other than the food itself as to why I had issues with the flavors and taste. In this particular instance, the Cali Food Truck II was parked on the playground of an event at my son's Elementary School, selling food alongside another food truck and a snow cone vendor. After comparing menus, I opted on getting dinner for us here and braved the lines as my son played with his friends. I got the Milanesa Torta, a thin strip of fried beef, served on a flat roll with a layer of refined beans and guacamole, and topped with lettuce and tomato. When dealing with something that can easily get messy, like a sandwich, there is a very fine line between too dry, too greasy, and just right. Either your sandwich can get too wet and fall apart or you have to choke it down with whatever drink you have on hand; Cali Food Truck opted for the latter. With a toasted bun, beans with all the water steamed out, and meat that felt more precooked and reheated than fried on the spot, the sandwich was dry to the point where even the vegetables and guac couldn't save it. The flavors weren't actually too bad, but the arid chew was very difficult to get passed when eating. My son had the Cheeseburger, plain with just tomato, and a side of French Fries. The meat felt as precooked and reheated as the Milanese, though that may have just been from the lack of condiments and lettuce to help moisten the dish. And the fries definitely tasted like they had been fried in stale oil, the flavor from everything fried before it, along with dust and age had been cooked right into them. He was only able to eat about half the burger and almost none his side before asking if he could skip the rest and go home. All in all, a pretty expensive dinner for food that neither of us really enjoyed. I would like to think that they probably had a lot of precooked food on hand to help handle the crowds at the school event. But, when it made the dishes suffer this much, and with old oil cooking the sides, it's difficult to justify ever choosing this food truck again next time my son's school has a big get-together.

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.
