Pueblo Viejo Grill - Palm Desert

Great food, and friendly staff! It was our first visit, and we came in on one of their fajita nights (Tues/Thurs). Lots of people were ordering, and the restaurant was smelling amazing as all of the sizzling plates were hitting the tables. We decided pretty quickly that we have to come back soon for some too since we wanted to try out a few other things last night. Nice little hidden gem!

This place is great! It's our favorite Mexican restaurant vintage the valley. It's very popular and starts filling up at about 4:30 p.m. They don't take reservations, but if you call while you're on your way and ask them to hold a table, they will do that if they can. The 5 of us each ordered different things. I ordered a la carte 1 chile relleno and a homemade corn tamale. They do have happy hour prices, check photos for details. The guacamole is excellent, just be sure to ask for it with your chips before the meal, otherwise they often bring it with the meal. Their chile rellenos are perfect. Fresh, fluffy, light, non greasy, not watery, and the chile is really fresh and has just the right amount of cheese. Our server was terrific, really on the ball. Everyone enjoyed their meals. No desserts, too full. I included pix of the full menu as of April 2023. The original restaurant is in Indio, which we have not been to. The one we go to is on Cook in PD, almost at the 10 in an industrial park. They have outdoor seating. But it can be quite windy down there by the 10. Try them out.

One of our favorite Mexican restaurants when visiting the Desert. We stay in Rancho Mirage, but worth the little trip. Fun place with great decor. It can be pretty busy, but service is prompt. Margaritas are good. Nice warm Chips Salsa for starters. We shared the Chicken Chimichanga. Only thing we missed was some kind of sauce on it which is the usual from our other experiences. Friendly service from Maritza. Hope to be back next year.

Ate dinner here on 5/2/22. Visiting here from GA. We sat at the bar. Our server was fantastic. She was friendly, responsive and had a positive attitude. I had the tacos Al carbon. Wow, they were fantastic. Steak was really well marinated. The tamales were really tasty and well prepared. I’d definitely return next time I’m in CA. Price was very reasonable for quality food we ate.

Excellent Authentic Mexican cuisine! Such a great first experience, service was perfect. We sat on their outdoor patio which had heaters!!! Super comfortable and fun atmosphere. Friday night and the place was VERY busy, we were offered chips and salsa with drinks very quickly. Our server was BEYOND friendly, we really enjoyed her personality and attention to us the entire meal. I ordered the Grilled Burrito with steak, OMG probably one of the best steak Burritos I ever had. The steak is super tender and taste like fajitas sizzling in the Burrito. The wife got the flautas with chicken and bean with rice. The flautas were crispy and had a really tasty marinaded chicken flavor. The rice and beans are authentic and a perfect match to any dish. I washed my meal down with a Mezcal Mule and a pineapple and jalapeño mezcal drink that was EPIC. WE WILL BE BACK.
