Best meal I had in Palm springs hands down. This Michelin star restaurant really brings it when it comes to the food and drinks. Everything was amazing from the margarita flight all the way to the ceviche. For the amazing food and service that you get, The price wasn't all that bad. My short rib enchiladas were a fantastic. The chicken tortilla soup was on point. Would definitely go back again if I'm in Palm springs.

Fantastic restaurant in the heart of downtown Palm springs! We were a group of four and we got seated right away. The staff were friendly and our food was served quickly and piping hot. Everything we had was awesome, from the shrimp tacos to Mexican tortilla soup and enchiladas. We loved the flight of different types of margaritas, and the atmosphere was hip and cool..

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever tried!  Our party of 3 dined outside on the patio.  We started with freshly made chips & guacamole.  We dined on short rib enchiladas which were out of this world!  We tried the shrimp tacos which were amazing!  The tamales according to my husband were the best ever.  Our server Chana was super friendly and guided us on what to order.  What a great experience!

This place was such a vibe!

We stopped in based on a recommendation and it did not disappoint!

I can’t speak for the food because we only enjoyed cocktails during our time, but the food we saw being served looked so delicious and we didn’t hear a single complaint.

The cocktails were expertly prepared and packed a punch of flavor! We wish we had more time here and if back in the area would happily return!

Service was disappointing, you would expect top notch service at an establishment of this stature, but it was mediocre at best. For instance we were seated and a table seated several minutes after us received service before us and their food before us. In addition when I asked what came with a dish our waiter said 'I think it comes with coleslaw.' You think? $48 for a dish and 'you think?'

The lobster was cooked well but it lacked an appropriate sauce that matched the guacamole spread. I would not recommend this dish.

The pozole on the other hand is fantastic. The salmon dish was also done beautifully.

Overall I would not go out of my way to revisit.
