Casa Mendoza Mexican Grill - La Quinta

AWESOME place... my new favorite Mexican restaurant in La Quinta! The golden Kadillac Margarita is AMAZING no driving after 1! We loved the Guacamole, Burritos (beans and cheese, Carne Asada and cheese), salsa and great service. Beautiful, plentiful outdoor seats before and back.

Just really good tasting, classic Mexican food. The best salsa I have ever had at a Mexican Restaurant, and top-tier quality food in a comfortable, casual setting.

Food was great. Margs were refreshing and very reasonable. Carnitas were crispy fried delicious. AND the beans were good!

Love the Chili Relleno and Chili Verde! The Chili Relleno taste like a souffle' in your mouth and not like a wad of cheese half melted with a chili wrapped around it. The sauce they make is the best I've ever tried. You taste all the ingredients. It isn't just a sauce covering it. It's a mouth watering experience. Sorry no photo I ate every last morsel!

It's impressive that a restaurant like this hasn't opened in the area before. The atmosphere is reminiscent of something you'd find in Santa Monica or San Francisco, with a fresh vibe. The food is outstanding! I highly recommend trying the Pastrami Sandwich or the Tickle Tree Burger—both are among my favorites.
