Edchada's

We were welcomed and sat quickly. Took a little time to get our order taken, but the food came out hot and delicious. Drinks were good with comparable pricing. The bartender, she was very good and seemed to run the bar on her own, impressive for how busy it was. All staff was attentive and nice. Would strongly suggest the quesadilla fajita style. But everything was yummy.

Food was great, our service was great, and the place was clean. We even sat next to Santa. The young lady who was bartending that was our server (from Maryland) I forget her name was AWESOME! Very hospitable to us as this was our first time in Cali and the first restaurant we ate at in Cali.

If you’re on the hunt for authentic, delicious, and straight-up unforgettable Mexican food in California — look no further. This spot is the real deal. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth, smiles, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you’re dining at a close friend’s house (the friend who can really cook). Let’s talk food: • The margaritas are hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too sour — just dangerously smooth. • The burritos? Massive, stuffed with flavor, and wrapped so tightly they could survive a road trip. • The chimichangas are golden, crisp, and generously filled — chef’s kiss. • And don’t even get me started on the soup — it’s like your abuela made it with love and a hint of magic. Now, for the real MVP of our visit: CJ. If you’re lucky enough to sit in his section, you’re in for an experience. CJ doesn’t just serve — he elevates. Attentive, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, he went above and beyond to make sure our night was perfect. Seriously, ask for CJ by name. You’ll thank me later. ✨ Great food, over-the-top service, and CJ? This place isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a reason to celebrate. Can’t wait to come back!

Went after hiking at Joshua Tree. It was close to their closing time but they welcomed us in with no hesitation. They provided complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa had a great taste and a little spice to it! I got an enchilada and taco meal and the enchilada was my favorite! The staff was very friendly and accommodating!

It's a decent little tex Mex restaurant. The variety was pretty standard. The meat seemed a bit dry. The margarita was reasonably priced. It sat near the window and was hot the entire time. They should also wipe down the menus. It's kinda odd when im looking at food and there's specs of someone else's food on the page.

Edchada's Resto was referred to us, we were looking a good place to eat. Teresa our server suggested very tummy filling and savory food. We enjoyed our orders. The complimentary tortilla chips was warm and crunchy. The guacamole matches with all the food we ordered.

We ended up in this town and restaurant during out trip. While the service was okay, the food, portion sizes, and pricing truly stood out. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a friendly host who promptly seated me. The service, while not exceptional, was decent. The staff members were polite and attentive, ensuring that my needs were met throughout my meal but they were just slow. Now, let's talk about the main highlight: the food. The menu offered a wide range of authentic Mexican dishes, and I was impressed by the variety of options available, however, limited veggie options. The food itself was delicious and packed with flavor with big portion. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were well-balanced, leaving me wanting more with each bite. One aspect that truly impressed me was the portion sizes. The restaurant definitely believes in providing value for money, as the servings were generous. Whether you have a hearty appetite or prefer to share with a friend, you'll be satisfied with the portion sizes offered here. Speaking of value for money, the pricing at this Mexican restaurant was reasonable. Considering the quality and quantity of the food, I found the prices to be quite fair. It's refreshing to find a place that offers delicious cuisine without breaking the bank. Overall, while the service at this Mexican restaurant may not have been exceptional, the food, portion sizes, and reasonable pricing more than made up for it. If you're looking for a satisfying dining experience with authentic Mexican flavors, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Despite a few bad reviews we picked this restaurant over others nearby because we wanted margaritas. It was a poor choice. I had a bland and extremely watery Chile Verde. My wife had $21 beef fajitas that had very little beef. And the $14 dollar margaritas were weak and essentially tasted of margarita mix. The service was good though. Waitress was friendly and food came out quick. She was even apologetic and brought out additional meat when we showed her how little beef was in the beef fajitas. In summary. If you decide to come here for decent margaritas, you'll be disappointed. If you come for good food, you'll be disappointed. Basically, you'll be disappointed.

Staff was fantastic. Food came out quick and hot. It was absolutely delicious. It was tangy and spicy and seasoned so well. The food was reasonably priced. The waiter/bartender CJ was so great and working with allergies and alcohol preferences. Not overly crowded but still good foot traffic for a Wednesday. Got seated right away. Will definitely be back!!!!

Jc was fabulous !!! The food was delicious! Taco salad bomb & Enchiladas suizas yum Chilli relleno good ! We Will definitely come back ! Thx JC !!! Love the restroom in the volt

Wanted to try this place because of the ambience and large size of the restaurant after seeing the photos on google. It didn't disappoint. It's nicely decorated with a large bar right as you walk in. They offer outdoor seating as well. They had high cushioned booths paired with bar stools right next to the bar as well and that's where we sat. Service was quick. Our server was talkative and funny too. I ordered a chile relleno for under $7 and it was huge. It was also delicious and I paired it with a blended mango margarita ($12.50) My partner had a burrito which comes with the soup of the day or a salad. Went with the soup of the day which was an albóndiga (meatball) soup. That combo was $12 which was also very reasonably priced. We had a great lunch and the prices were perfect for our party of two. I'd love to come back during happy hour soon.

fantastic crew. Fantastic food! I attentive and overall good people. I had the chili Colorado burrito gigantic portion didn't think I'd eat it, but I did, the whole thing. My son had the amigo burrito, polished it off fantastic Prices were more than reasonable Highly recommend this dining establishment

Food was great and the service was speedy!! My food has great flavor and very fresh! Ask for some ranchera sauce on your rice and you can thank me later! So good!

Came by during lunch because someone had recommended me this place. I think the service was amazing and honestly maybe the only reason why I stayed. The restaurant itself is huge and has tons of seating. They offered complimentary chips and salsa which were pretty good and then I ordered beef flautas and an horchata. The horchata was good and they give you a tall glass which I can appreciate. The flautas looked so yummy and the portion was huge, but after 2 bites I noticed that the taste was off. I tried tasting everything individually (beans, rice, guac) and for some reason there was an aftertaste in everything that I can only describe as "cleaning product." It was almost as if whatever soap they use to wash the dishes wasn't rinsed off all the way before plating the food. I would like to give this place another try, but honestly that was just a bit too unsettling to have that weird aftertaste throughout the entire meal. I couldn't really finish the food and I feel bad for wasting it, but something really was off because my stomach started feeling weird after I left.

The service was wonderful! No complaints there... but the food! Yech! I had the taco salad with shredded beef. The beef tasted like it was boiled without any seasoning whatsoever. The Guacamole was brown, and there was maybe a tablespoon of beans on the bottom. The chile relleno burrito was soggy and was mostly rice. I mean over half of the burrito was rice only. Like I mentioned earlier in my review, the waitress was wonderful. We appreciated her very much. But we will not be back. 2 star rating because the server was great, otherwise I would've left negative 5 stars.

The dayCook pees in the parking lot. Seriously gross. He doesn't wash his hands after using the men's room either. It's disgusting. I used to like the draft Mexican beer here. When they have it. The food has gone down hill and up in price in recent years. Some one call the health department.

I ordered machaca and eggs. There was barely one egg in the order. I was really looking forward to the meal but was clearly disappointed in the proportion of eggs to protein and the cooks refusal to cook my families order to their request. The customer service was great otherwise but the food service was disappointing and discouraging

went at 6:40 pm online says they close at 9pm on Sundays noticed the door said 8 pm on Sunday. staff was super rude yelled are you fkn serious and when I asked what the issue was he rudely and loudly said we close at 7, then grabbben some menus and rushed off to a table did even ask us to follow. I reminded the door says 8 and online says 9 and we left. won't be going back. we use to go here all the time.

So I was visiting my partner who lives on base in this Area. I was out looking for food while he was getting ready and talking with his family. I decided to get some Tacos and a Margarita, when walking in I had to seat myself and get my own napkins. I had to ask for chips and salsa. While other servers had been passing me up and serving other people food, drinks and chips. So I was always on edge with feeling outcasted. I sat at the bar by myself. When I was drinking my margarita, I found a bug in my drink and let the server know. Rather than try and accommodate or acknowledge the wrong doing he just shined it off. So I asked for another drink. ( Im not expecting any type of special treatment but I did expect to get the drink half off or something like that ) I was served and charged for both drinks at full price. Even when ordering during happy hour. I came to this spot because AppleMaps. Now I regret spending $30. I also noticed that they just dip the blender in 3-Stage cleaner. They don't wash or rinse anything off. They literally dip it in 1)Soap Water 2) Rinse Water 3)Blue Chemical water. So I was just irritated about how half fast they do things here. They don't even check up on how you're doing. Just walk around doing nothing. Please avoid if possible. The Tacos saved it from a 1-Star.

Went in today with the family before they fly home and order machaca and eggs over medium by far the best meal I've had there so far! The bartender provided prompt service and great drinks!

Edchadas is located right off 29 Palms highway. There is a small parking lot to the rear of the building with limited spots as well as street parking. Inside you'll find a small bar top and the restaurant is filled with lots of short tables. The decor is nothing fancy by any means, you can come in shorts and flip flops and be just fine which I appreciate! The food itself is ok. The meat in the burrito was pretty dry and the fajitas were served with a very small amount of meat - it was mostly peppers and onion. The salsa tasted like blended canned tomatoes with chunks of white onion. It's almost watered down with chunks of onion. Chips were warm and salty. Beans and rice were decent. Service was polite and quick. Overall, we'd stop in again as there isn't much here on this strip but we hope they improve with not serving dry meat in the burritos and a more generous portion for fajitas ; especially because I ordered them a la carte so I wasn't able to fill up on beans and rice. Service was friendly and fast.

The prices could be better for one. It's too expensive here for the location and what you get. Paid over $35 a person average after 18% tip and only 1 basket of free chips with salsa for 4 people. Sign of the times I guess. It was also a little cool inside. The food was good though like always. Thank you.

Excellent service and atmosphere. Great margaritas and food. Highly recommended restaurant in 29Palms. A must stop when passing through.

Cj and Shelbie where great. We had an amazing time. We never ran out of drinks and we had our food very fast. We are regulars and they are amazing every time we come in. Now Kenny on another note is very vocal and thinks he is funny (he's not). But overall it was a great experience and we love Edchadas. (Ps...get the queso

Gloopy cheese. Do you love cheese? That's what this place is serving up. Our plates were smothered in a good bag of oily three blend taco cheese from your local supermarket. Food had little to no taste or flavor.... And yes, I do love to indulge in cheese as everyone else but this teetered on inedible due to the amount of cheese.

Edchadas has been a go-to place for my family for as long as I can remember. The food is always great, as well as the service. When we were deciding on a place to host my father's celebration of life, we knew that Edchadas was a right fit. They were able to accommodate our group (30+) and coordinated the madness with ease. Talk to CJ if you ever decide to have a large gathering there. He made sure that our group was well taken care of.

I gave a five star review because of Kenneth! He needs to be moved to server. What a beautiful young man. Wilbur is also a great waiter. But Kenneth deserves more!

CJ provided excellent service! Food and drinks were perfect. Great place to eat after hiking in Joshua Tree.

Food was okay. I had the señor burrito and it was decent. The service could have been better. My wife had the carne asada plate and she like it. We also had two margaritas and they were okay. Overall, the place was okay, a bit overpriced, but it was not that bad.

It was a tale as old as time. I was in the ER, getting my stomach pumped, thinking about life. Reminiscing about the times I had in the past week, I realized...my life would never be the same. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the very beginning. It was a sunny day in March, and my friends and I were cruising down the road, nursing hangovers from Vegas, when we stumbled upon the town of Twentynine Palms. Buildings materialized out of the desert, a hint of civilization after endless desert. Craving some familiarity in a strange place, we searched for some mexican food. The first name popped up on google maps, and we set our course for Edchada's Taqueria, blissfully unaware of what was to come. We pulled into the parking lot, and were greeted with a 21+ sign, the first warning that this establishment might not be what we expected. Tentatively, we opened the door, and took in the sight of a dingy bar. Several older men, with a look in their eyes that indicated they saw things in the war they couldn't unsee, sat at the bar. A host materialized from the shadows, and we told him we were ordering to go. He seemed immediately displeased, but nonetheless, he gave us menus and waited, always keeping one eye on us as if we were going to steal a chimichanga when he wasn't looking. After perusing the menu, we eyed each other before steve finally got up from his seat and approached the host. "Can I place an order?" he asked. In a tone dripping with disdain, the host responded "yeah⁉" Slightly taken aback, steve proceeded to order. With a powerful sigh, the host beckoned for the next order. We went up one by one, tentatively placing our orders. We then sat back down, awaiting our food...and our fate. Finally, the first order came out. What seemed at first glance to be a simple carnitas burrito and a quesadilla would spell our doom. Steve went to grab his food, but I realized it was my order. I went to grab the bag, but as I lifted it the host erupted. "NO NO NO NO NO" he screamed. "you just lost half your meal" he growled at me. Terrified, I was frozen in my spot as he examined the contents of the bag. Luckily, the food was intact. Shaken from the encounter, I sat back down, wondering what else would happen as the orders came out. Surprisingly, the rest of the food came out without a hitch, and we breathed a sigh of relief as we thanked the host and started leaving. "Call your parents. Tell them you're alive. Be safe out there." The warning echoed in our minds as we departed. Little did we know that the omens would come true. We returned to the hotel, our skepticism outweighed by our hunger. I decided to try the quesadilla first. I opened the box and was greeted by what could only be described as strings of raw beef, as if someone grated a cow into my quesadilla. Nevertheless, I was hungry, and so I dug in. The first warning sign came later, as we were leaving to watch the sunset. My stomach grumbled and I started to feel off, but this was only the calm before the storm. As we drove back to the hotel, I started feeling dizzy. I concentrated on the road, but my stomach started making noises I had only heard once before, from my $20 target blender. Lia stepped on the gas, and I found myself lying on the hotel bed. I drank some water, and for a second, I felt some relief, but suddenly I was slipping away. The voices around me got quieter, and the room got smaller, smaller, and smaller, before it faded to black. I came to with a bright light in my face, and a masked face above me. I was confused for a moment, before I realized it was the hospital. The doctor asked with a kind voice if I was ok, before explaining that my stomach needed to be pumped. It was painful, but I got through it, and after some rest, was cleared to leave. We passed hundreds of doors, all seemingly filled with poor souls having their stomachs pumped. Ok the way out, we passed the receptionist, who bid us farewell. I looked back, and the wing of the hospital had a small plaque on the wall. I squinted, and as I read it, my stomach dropped for the 100th time that day. It read "Edchadas victims." We hurriedly exited, and I realized I was lucky to be alive. I was go rever scarred by the trip, but the bonds I had formed with my friends would last the rest of my life. Service: 4.6/5 Food: 4.3/5 Ambiance: 4.9/5 Overall: 4.8/5. Would go back

Poor choices by the chef/cook. I had the veggie burrito, my wife had a taco salad with chicken. The salsa that comes with the chips was excellent. Clearly house made, smoky, tart, with just a hint of spicy. That was the only good thing about the food. The veggie burrito was filled with what was clearly a grocery store frozen veggie mix: Lima beans, carrots, peas and corn, not even cooked enough to be hot, inside a tortilla with rice, beans, lettuce and black olives. It was barely edible. The guacamole on my wife's taco salad tasted old and bland, needed salt and lime. Altogether uninspiring sauces and seasonings, bland, basic and inauthentic. When I'm paying for a sit-down meal, I expect more.

Absolutely the worst Mexican food I ever had , omg so bad . I'm not sure why they in business . My friend took me here out of convenience. The rice looked and tasted like out of the trash a week old . Do yourself a big favor and avoid. They can't pay you enough to eat here .

MVP... Shelby the bartender is amazing and personable and professional, and she can make amazing drinks. Just ask her to customize myself for you and she takes care of it and it is always amazing and then the kenneth busser is amazing. They should actually make him a server because he's always paying attention to what people need and he cleaned everything up and he always delivers drinks on time. He is a number one.

We got a chicken salad bowl and a carne asada burrito. It was super good and filling. The service was great. The restaurant looked very authentic.

Service is good. Staff makes you feel warm, welcome, and like a long time friend. Good food for all tastes, my favorite is a QUESADILLA fajita style. Soup is yummy on a cold day. Drinks are plentiful. You may choose from an alcohol of your choice. My favorite is the classic margarita.

OH MY GOSH SOOOOOOO GOOD Food came out so good chips were hot & fresh as the salsa was the perfect spice level. And these B!TCHE$ hooked it UP with that margarita had me so tipsy fr it was DELISH Edchadas is overall bomb not even gonna lie..

A little pricey but food good. Yes I will eat there as often as possible. When in 29 palms.

Five star experience all because of our busser Kenneth. He did all the work and was attentive to our big group of ten. He definitely should be a server as he is a great people person, attentive, friendly and does ALL the work!

As usual they serve the best drinks! Kenneth was incredible and extremely friendly. We frequent Edchadas every time we are in 29 Palms

Food was quite good, better than I expected. I expected worse based off the reviews. Service was fast and friendly. Drinks were solid. My wife and I each ordered a plate of enchiladas, and they were good. Not the greatest, we've had better, but for it being in twentynine palms, it was definitely worth it. I wouldn't mind coming back. I would definitely recommend this spot though.

Kenneth is AMAZING! The food was in ridiculous proportions. Great great margaritas.

We decided to stop at Echadas in 29 Pslms before an event. We were pleased to walk in and be seated directly around 5:30 pm. Service was super slow. We got our chips and salsa and then our drinks were ordered but did not show up until almost right when our food should up. Not a great combo when they serve you spicy salsa with nothing to cool your mouth. On the positive, the food arrived hot and was delicious. It was a little spicier than what we were used to but delicious none the less. I had the chile colorado burrito which had nice chunks of beef in it. The restaurant was pretty busy but you could still hear the person across from you. The floor could have used a good sweep, but things were clean. I wish there was some Spanish music to listen to. All in all it was a nice dinner. Although they need to train one of their bus boys that jamaica is not pomegranate juice!

Kenneth was awesome!!! He was super friendly and very alert to our needs. Highly recommend this young man as a server. Also our bartender Shelby made yummy drinks. Thank you to both of you for great service!

What nasty food that was served. Everyone was covered in cheese with absolutely zero definition of food items. Cheaply made with even less imagination. Certainly not even in the same zip code as fine Mexican food - nowhere near food truck level either. Del taco makes better beans. Don't waste your time on this place.

Great food and service! It is also centrally located, so traveling to and from the hiking trails and our Airbnb was very convenient! I would love to come back again!

Great food Teresa was awesome !!! What a fun location perfect for a lunch date with your friends

service was great and staff was super friendly. Can't beat their margarita flight. I enjoy coming here for their drinks

Visited Joshua Tree and came here for lunch 1pm on a Tuesday it looked slow but at the same time I could sense they seemed understaffed. The staff still was polite and courteous. The food was "ok" basically nothing special but nothing detrimental either. Prices are in line with what I would expect to pay in a Mexican restaurant. See below of what we had. 1-10 scale Green enchilada 8 (the best dish we had) Nachos 7 (I think the picture says it all) Margarita 7 just average Chips and Salsa 4 (very bland)

Wow! Waste of money. The server was rude and acted like it was a privilege that we were in there I. His presence. Overpriced everything he could. It's less expensive and better quality if you just make the taco's yourself. Save your $100.00, it smells like a septic tank.

We had a great time...the food was delicious, everything came out hot and tasty. Our server was attentive and answered our questions. The salsa was spicy hot but the queso and guacamole were just right for everyone's taste. The portions were large and the menu descriptions were good. We sat by the windows so we had good lighting.

The food was really nice and so was are server! She was very friendly and funny. The vibes are nice as well :) Try it out some time you'll enjoy it!

Slow service, very salty food, ambiance is okay. The waitress had good customer service but the food took very long to come out.

Bland food. Chicken and beef enchiladas with no flavor. The rice too was so awful too. Should have opted for Taco Bell! On the plus they have margaritas. Go for the drinks, skip the food.

The food quality is way below acceptable which is only topped by the unbelievably bad service. It's always been this way. Didn't go back after ten years after having nothing but rotten food and experience until last week when we had family in town and needed a sit down place. I crossed my fingers and hoped maybe they'd cleaned up their act. Nope. Even worse. Avoid at all costs.

Great food & drinks in an old bank building. The restrooms are the old bank vault. Great service too!

The food was really good and Wilber the waiter did a great job with making sure if we needed anything.

The customer service was good,Our server. CJ,was amazing...The food and cocktails just made the whole night fabulous..
