Taqueria "El Güero"

In Desert Hot Springs this is one of many Taquerias el Güero, I do have to mention the food never fails unless like many times waitresses are clueless on what they’re doing. Food overall is well prepared as well as taste and presentation. I’ve seen that the waitresses lack everything, empathy, service, common sense, be advised English might not be spoken either. If you go here just take it to go I wouldn’t suggest getting familiar with the service here(because there is none) my suggestion is eat it at home. Not clean, to my knowledge and the few times I’ve visited. I would like to try other Taquerias el güero I’m sure there’s a change in at least appearances or the same service. It is not cheap/FOOD IS NOT AFFORDABLE HERE. Have that in mind.

We were worried about finding a place to eat at 9:30 p.m., but we came across this restaurant, and the food was really good. A great find!

Food was not good at all rice was hard and old beans were watery and the shrimp was grey and tough also the salsa was flavorless. They also charge for everything you get chip and salsa was 4 bucks a fryed chili was 1.50 Nothing was good here the food the price and also also the server. Please consider coming here to save yourself from the headache and robbery how was it 65$ for 2 people that both got 20$ plates????

When I first walked in it felt like the air conditioner was not working. I order a augua de piña drink which was refreshing . I also ordered a carne asada torta and tasted good considering the bread was burnt. I would consider going back and giving the restaurant another try.

Wonderful local taqueria with friendly staff and amazing food

Customer service was decent. They didn’t bring me everything I ordered. Noticing the girl eating chips and licking her fingers made me not want to finish any of my food. The Al Pastor had no flavor and looked very bland. The birria tacos were dry and flavorless as well. Our chimichanga was warm at best with cold beans on the side. Asked for salsa and they bring me one little container for 4 tacos. This place should not bear the name of “El Guero” as the original place in cathedral city has much more flavor. Definitely don’t recommend this place to anyone.

It tasted great, but I became sick the next day. I'm not sure if it was the food or not. Overall, it's a great place to eat a little on the pricey side compared to other restaurants around there, though.

DHS has great, authentic Mexican food that tastes just like homemade. The environment is excellent, and the staff is very pleasant. There's plenty of parking and clean restrooms available. It's conveniently close to the freeway--perfect for a quick stop to eat and go. The restaurant is spacious and great for large groups. My wife and I enjoyed it 100%!

We went here once on a whim and haven't stopped thinking about the quesadillas. We just went back today and I cannot express the way the food has a pull on our souls. The quesadillas are ginormous. They are the size and thickness of my hands stacked over the other. My fiancée describes the salsa as smokey and irresistible. The workers are kind and check in on us and keep the place clean. The flan was beautiful. It was dense and had the right amount of egginess. The syrup was as light and golden.

i've been here plenty of times and every time the food is excellent really great service. The food is not only delicious but it feels like a home cooked meal a very nice place to enjoy dinner breakfast or even lunch with your family the place itself is a really nice cozy. Kind of Mexican style restaurant really pretty feels like home would definitely go get food there. Excellent place great service delicious food five stars.!

We get the carnitas family pack every time we're around. It's always good! Every single time.

Always a super clean restaurant. The food is definitely 5 stars, generous portions and reasonably priced. Shrimp cocktail is amazing and a full meal. Always friendly and fast service. If you visit you will u understand the 5 stars.

Regular mom and pop restaurant, I was surprised to see decorations inside for the holidays lol, very cute touch. This is located in the corner of the parking lot shared with Stater Bros, Bank of America, Chase Bank, a donut shop, T-Mobile, etc. Located in between a water shop and Donut Shop. Parking lot is sketchy IMO , but customer service was stellar when I came, so the parking lot situation cross cancels like in math lol. I got Pozole, tacos, and an Agua Fresca. I can't tell you what Agua Fresca, I tasted a few and liked them all. The Pozole needed salt babyyyy (but I like heavily seasoned food) The Tacos were smacking good! I mean I had a napkin covering my mouth while eating them because I was trying to inhale them (I know so not cute..but it was a must). The salsa was spicy and fresh. They of course gave salsa and chips, both were good, but then again I haven't had a bad salsa and chip at a restaurant. Although I think they'd be even more popular if the store got a major make over, it still hit the spot as far as price wise , quality of food, and customer service. I will most definitely be back! 8/10

After a long drive to Palm Springs, we spotted this place and decided to give it a shot for a small mid-afternoon snack. It was bad and overpriced. The chicken tacos were extremely dry, the corn tortilla didn't taste fresh and was too hard, and the green salsa was gelled (!!!!). They also charged us $3.75/taco which is pricey even by OC/LA standards (the price wasn't listed on the menu). Felt very ripped off.

Beef echilada red sauce was excellent, cheese enchilada almost as good. Ground beef taco terrible shredded beef w rice, cheese, beans not good beans were average green sauce worst I ever had

My favorite restaurant El mejor en desert hot springs Authentica comida Mexicana Siempre muy amables cuando recojo mi comida. Mi favorito es la orden familiar de carnitas .

Best veggie burrito EVER!! This an authentic restaurant, you come for the great food and service. Decor is ok and restaurant feels like a cantina but the homemade sauce is outtathisworld!!!! Go for the food!!!

I liked this place so much I wanted to go back, especially to try the $1 tacos. Sadly we didn't have enough time. Seems like one of the better options based on what I've seen on here. Nothing fancy inside, but the food was on point and fairly priced. Michelada was delicious! Wish more people would review and share more. Curious about other menu items.

Amazing food, service and prices! A must try and a sure shot when on a budget. Give it a chance.

Great food with great service and the ambience is great. The carnitas are okay, much better than cardinas market.

I have been trying to find chillequiles in Desert Hot Springs that were as good as the ones served at Tacos Jalisco in Indio and I found them. Now I Don't have to drive 52 miles round trip for one of my favorite comfort foods.

The food was good! Service was good! Only thing missing was an authentic agua Fresca... a real horchata would have been cherry on top but it was amazing

to begin I ordered a combination plate which comes with a burrito enchilada and a taco. the burrito is as big and looks identical to the enchilada. drenched in sauce. wasn't expecting that. then the chicken taco had no chicken at all. and a 5$ horchata that's ridiculous . never eating there again

Had a terrible experience here. I order 4 tacos. 2 pastor and 2 lengua. The tacos came out the pastor was burnt to a crisp I didn't say anything because I was thinking man the are 1.50 what could I expect. Where I was done was when I took a bite out of the lengua taco. Immediately a strong disgusting taste rushed my taste buds. The meat was bad. I kindly asked the lady to remove them from my bill she asked if I wanted something else but my stomach had turned already and lost my appetite. When I got the bill it said 7.50!!! I explained that I wasn't paying for the other tacos just the two burnt ones. She said yeah it's 3 dollars for the two tacos plus your fountain drink. I told her she was price gauging. She said that's how it is here. No respect to me as a customer. I left with our making a scene but, do yourself a favor go somewhere else for tacos.

They saved my sister's wedding day! Another caterer no-showed her reception and had her in tears at her wedding. This place got food to us for over 50 people on extremely short notice! Very impressive and fast service, and good food.

So I've eaten at just about every Mexican restaurant in DHS and this place blew me away. The food is amazing. Probably the best flan I have ever had and the carnitas are on point. I don't want to be "that guy" but I was a Chef for almost 20 years and can tell when things have been sitting around or they are fresh. All of my food was fresh. I will definitely be back. Thank you for the great food!

Stopped in here for a to-go order a couple times while in the area for work. Decent food, decent price. Nothing special, other than the avocado slice on the tacos is a nice touch.

The food was ok but they overcharged me! $28 for a soup and 3 tacos, no drinks. Any other local restaurant is a better choice frankly.

Came here on a recommendation from a co-worker and man the food is on point. I ordered a carne asada burrito Chips even though so basic was just as good.

Really good food ! I order to go and they actually answer every time . Eating in there is great too. Yummy food.

Im very disappointed with the level of service we received tonight. We asked for a plain chicken and cheese quesadilla and it came fully loaded. Finally after the lady said we could come back in to switch it out and waiting there another 15 min.. they gave us the same quesadilla back and had just scraped off the stuff from inside. Well they didn't do a very good job and left guacamole and lettuce residue throughout so my nephew of course wouldnt eat it. $60 later we still have a starving kid and have to hit the drive thru

Found this place by accident while we were looking for a Donut shop which sits next door. We walked in, and it was nothing fancy but it was clean and the staff greeted us when we came in. Service was pleasant and I inquired if they had a special of the day. Our waitress said that Tacos were $1.00 and they had a variety to choose from. I ordered a few of the Pastor, Carnitas and the shredded chicken, all with cilantro and onions. My better half ordered Enchiladas Suizas... The food arrived quickly and after the first bite, knew we were not going to be disappointed. The flavors were big and not overpowering and we are going to plan on another visit before heading back home to Chicago. If you have a chance, stop by. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Every time I walk in to that place I ask myself why don't I come here more often?? The tacos are fabulous! Carne asada, tripas or what ever else is wonderful. The dinner combos are awesome as well. The one thing that I simply can not order again is the menudo. I am very particular with my menudo and what ever recipe they have just isn't my cup of tea.

It's really sad I love the food at this place but my latest experience was very bad ! The woman working the front was very rude and racist she must not like white people because she was helpful to everyone but me . I ordered over $40 in take out which I normally order more but it was my work lunch break and was only getting a small amount . My salsa lid was not put on properly and busted all over my to go containers when I asked for new forks she said I had to pay extra for them when she did not put the lid on the salsa which caused the mess . When I asked for napkins to wipe off the salsa from the boxes she said I could use the napkins that had salsa all over them to wipe off the salsa which caused a bigger mess . Although I like the food I will not ever be going back due to the very poor customer service I received from this woman . Coming from someone who works in the service industry and takes pride in what they do , I recommend that If she is not happy in the service industry she should find another profession as it's not for everyone.

compre un burrito de tripas y uno de carne asada y no venía casi nada de carne más que puro arros

I have come to this place. The food is good. But what they don't tell you that haven't chsnge the prices on the menu. When I got my ticket. They charged me 1.50 for French fries, in which should only be 99 cent add on. Plus my Carna Asada torta shows $8.00 bucks. In which I got charged $8.50 for my torta. I explained to the lady. She stated they had price increase. But I notice my large cup of coke still was $3.99. I explain that they should note that on menu, or date asap. Its misleading and down right cheating customer. Its not about the money, its about being honest and making sure they follow through on their half. Its dishonest. She adjusted for the fries, but not the torta. Come on is this how you run a business. You won't see me going back. She knew that she was doing something wrong. When I explained to her. She took a long time to bring me my bill back. I think they should inform about the price change, but also have it updated. They have had plenty of time through this covid crisis to do so. I will contact owner and explain my frustration and how its very bad business practice for them. It's dishonest and fraud.

Not a very professional establishment at all as soon as you walk in, one of the employees was in regular clothes charging me for the food. The same employee was asking his Co-worker how much he needed to charge me, they ended up charging me an extra $10!!! No mames.

Good food maybe the best in town., Everybody should check it out the enchiladas, and free refills on Jamaica couldn't ask for anything else.

We stop by for lunch a few times a week and are always greeted with a friendly smile. Delicious food, great customer service. Thanks again Jesus! Entire staff. Abraham O Www.cvsponline.com

Good was really good! Service was great! And he horchata is the best! They look like a hole in the wall, but you can't beat the food or atmosphere!

So much meat when ordering the Birria in su consomé! Finally! Other places in town basically sell you the consomé with hardly any meat. Thank you for being generous and honest!

Very tasty authentic Mexican food at this old-school dive. The bean, rice and cheese burrito was one of the best I've ever had, and they put avocado slices in their $1 ground beef tacos - a nice added bonus. My only complaint is that most of the staff don't speak very good English, so it's sometimes hard to order if you have any questions.

The. Best. Everything we got was so delicious: shrimp quesadilla w/ rice and beans, carnitas taco, carne asada taco, cheese enchilada, chips and salsa, special hard taco (.99 comes fully loaded with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, ground beef, fresh avocado slices, and sour cream ... beats Del taco and Taco Bell any day and way less expensive and better quality) all of this for $23 including tax and tip! Definitely the best place to eat in desert hot springs and we were the only gringos here. We're definitely coming back!

I think they have the best hardshell tacos that I have possibly ever had. Truly amazing. It is not a fancy place but the tacos were delicious. They were only $1.25 and they included sour cream and avocado. A great selection of Mexican drinks. I highly recommend it

Very unprofessional staff. If you call to order, expect to be on hold for about 20 minutes and IF they ever get on the line, receive a rude attitude. Food is alright, but nothing special. Tables are filthy and it's always hot in there. Wish I could give half a star...

This place is the best in DHS love the food here, like how they have the d-jay system and pretty close to everything

The food was good!! I enjoyed the fresh pineapple water it was delicious and refreshing!! Mmm the enchiladas were also good!! I didn't give it 5stars just because it was a little dirty.. They seem short staffed!!

They're really rude and food isn't as great as it used to be Super expensive asked for 2 tostadas de camarón con pulpo and they gave me 2 cócteles witch is never what I asked for

Excellent authentic food at affordable price! Molcajete platter highly recommended. Great tortas!

I love this place! The quesadillas are the best I've ever had! I have been coming here for at least a few years and their quality hasn't wavered. Hopefully itll be the same for years to come.

this place should be shut down... the food was bad hair in my husband food and they served me cow tongue in a quesadilla and i asked for chicken... then our bill was $38 for 2 sodas and our food minus 15 flies that was on the window and fly around! we asked for a refund they refused and i said the food was not good? fine we give you $15.00 dollars back out of $38? rip off....... stay away if you dont want food poisoning... i dont know how in the heck they got grade a?

We we're craving some ceviche and since Don Tacorriendo was closed that day we end up coming here. The ceviche was flavorless, we order 3 to go and it was literally ceviche for one tostada. The tostadas were stale. Only thing good was the Horchata.

great food and service BUT my only complain is how some customers harass the staff and discriminate, last time I was there a man was telling the cooks to hurry up and make salsa and then almost heading towards the kitchen area, I don't care how much money he makes the STAFF should not be harass. Great tortas and horchata
