I was visiting on a business trip and happened upon Mamacita's. And I sure am glad I did! You order your food at the front desk when you arrive and they bring it to your table. Their service and staff was great! The servings were good sized and priced very reasonably. This certainly ranks in the top 3 of my... More

is an apt description for this family-owned, local Mexican restaurant in Palm Desert. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the friendly, efficient staff. Large margaritas and generous portions at very reasonable prices.

chili rellanos, burritos, everything made from scratch. Hidden next to a landscaping store just off Cook Street. Breakfast and lunch filled with locals.

Based on other's recommendations, I visited here for dinner. A very small place with lots of kids running around making lots of noise.

Big step up from place like Carl's Jr, but total cost... More

Our second trip to Mamacita's on Velie Way; it's in an industrial park location, and is small and working class. However, the food is abundant, fresh, and delicious. You order at a counter from the extensive menu, then serve yourself drinks. Shortly your huge plateful of food is delivered by the friendly staff. Most of the menu items are well... More
