La Casita S - Palm Desert

The food and service was so good! The margarita was on point and the chips and salsa did not disappoint!

La Casita Restaurant in the Desert Country Plaza of Palm Desert is a great place to grab Mexican Food. The service was great and food was good. They will bring you chips in salsa but it isn't complimentary (2.50).

Wife had the Taco Salad, I had the chili Verde burrito, service was fast and food was fresh, The Salsa was very Mild, the pork in my burrito was slightly dry and there was no heat in the green sauce, Wife's taco salad had only a small portion of meat and was mostly lettuce, the food was OK but nothing special and with the lack of spice in any of the salsa or Verde sauce makes the food fairly bland. Price was about $40 with tax and tip. Probably would pick another resturant next time we are in an area.

I don 't understand why this restaurant doesn 't have better reviews. The food here is DELICIOUS!!!! With a capital D . This place fell off my radar from a few years back and I don 't know why. I remember how good the salsa was from 7 years ago ! AND.. their prices are AMAZING Incorporating this restaurant into my weekly rotation of Mexican places. Done.

FYI: One order of chips salsa for the table. Otherwise, you pay $2.50 for each extra order even if they don 't tell you that refilling the chips and or salsa will result in a charge of the full $2.50. Didn 't even know of the charge, now you do. We asked for more chips our salsa was almost gone but when the lady dropped off the chips she didn 't offer salsa but we still had to pay for it. Had I known that we were going to get charged for the set, I would 've not struggled getting the rest of the salsa out by tipping the bowl to the side, I would 've requested what they were going to charge me for. YOU 'VE BEEN WARNED. It 's apparently written in a paragraph on the front of the menu... Who looks at that? Anyways, the food was delicious... We had fajitas and shrimp... Very yummy. The chips and salsa are tasty. The rice beans and guacamole and pico de gallo are very yummy. Service was lacking a bit. The guy smelled like he was sick and had a vicks cough drop in his mouth. Not exactly what patron of a food establishment want to smell. He was friendly though but had to be asked to refill the sodas. When I noticed that we were charged $2.50 for Chips and Salsa , I asked about it and was asked if we ordered a refill. I told the nice young gal that we asked for more chips but weren 't told of the charge or else I would 've ordered the salsa that we were charged for had to paid for unknowingly to us. She didn 't care. So, because I care that anyone reading this not get charged if you don 't have to for something that 's always been included. I still plan on going back. Food was good, ambience was also as well. There could 've been a bit more service communication on the servers part. Also, when restaurants put the tipping amounts based on the total plus taxes, I find it pretty annoying and this place does that. : I 'm usually generous but this irks me to no end. Not only does it wrongly teach the servers to expect tips based on the total plus the tax on it that they didn 't do anything to deserve a tip for but it makes a generous tip look less than based on the wrong calculation. Go visit Tommy Bahamas check their suggested tips section. They 've got it right unlike so many places nowadays. Maybe I 'll note it in my upcoming reviews whether the establishment does the calculation correctly or not. I might even make a list of these good restaurants just to avoid little annoyances LOL
