    Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and clean restaurant. The food was excellent. We had ceviche de camarones and lengua en salsa verde. Large servings and reasonably priced. The corn tortillas were the best I’ve ever tasted and the lengua was so tender!

    Stopped here for lunch- tacos to go. Has a small dining area if you want to eat inside as well. Tacos were tasty and reasonably priced. Staff friendly.

    Loved this authentic Mexican cuisine in the small town of Mecca. We stopped by on our way to Palm Springs and enjoyed the fresh food at very fair prices. Lovely staff and great atmosphere. We’ll be back!

    Good food, great service (Maria Lucero), and nice and clean atmosphere. I had the torta 2 days ago and the sizzlin fajitas today. Torta was good and so were the fajitas just a little too salty.

    The 7 Mares soup and the Micheladas were perfect for the day after Coachella. Highly Recommended!

    I agree with other reviews, go beyond the basic taco and get some of the most delicious food in the valley. Someone said staff didn't speak English, girl use your Google translate! I found the staff spoke English just fine and with my attempt at Spanish we did just fine to get me some very soft machaca con huevos and orange juice. If you have not tried this place, now is the time.
