The tacos can run a little small so if you're hungry order an appetizer to share at the table. Great margs and Tequila options. Most tables are also communal, as a warning.

I got an omelette with tomato , spinach and bacon with a side of wheat toast . It was awesome. My husband got the smoke salmon platter and he said it was fantastic. The coffee was strong and tasty.

The corn (esquites ) was delicious. Flourless chocolate cake with mousse , spicy candid walnuts and coffee ice cream is a must have. However, the beef tongue tacos were too salty (the sauce).

I'm usually not the biggest watermelon fan but this sopa makes great use of watermelon . The flavor goes well with the dungeness crab meat.

The Taco Tuesday/Thursday’s are great. Fish taco especially. Wl Jefe burger is also good, and don’t miss the margaritas !

Bobby Solomon

Located in The Saguaro, this small, casual bar , is the go-to place in Palm Springs for a quick meal of tacos and margaritas .

This cheese on this dish is good but the duck barbacoa underneath is what makes this dish awesome.

Rayshawn Williams

Taste just as great as the elote bought from the streets...just in a glass. Delicious!

Cynthia Drescher

Get the esquites or we can't be friends. Too bad the three-taco menu items can't be mixed up to try three different tacos (as in, you're stuck with three of the same kind)

Cynthia Drescher

Get the Esquites ! Sweet corn (off the cob) with Queso fresco & chipotle mayo . Scoop it on some chips .

Connie Chiu

The tacos and nachos are on point. Love the carne asada and pulled pork .

Rayshawn Williams

The charred pineapple margarita is amazing. Very refreshing.

Aaron Thomas

Everything i had there was good. Tacos and margaritas

Arron Fenton

I had better carne asada tacos on the back of trucks . Too expensive for 3 little guys. The waitress was very friendly and my boyfriend said the Asada tacos were great. I gave my tacos to him.

hotel lobby bar but with a good DJ , kind of a shame we were there with a wedding party and they literally swiped the cocktail out of the brides hand because she didn't have her ID on her. true story.

The nachos are ginormous, but definitely worth it!

Queso fundido oaxaqueño

Avoid the guacamole . Super under seasoned. Basically just mashed avocado and a sprinkle of cheese . No tomatoes or spice.

Mark Whitmell

Nachos area excellent!

Marina Jamieson

The tacos were ok. It was the service, they were so slow, took 45minutes to get 2orders of tacos . Very understaffed.
