They have a wonderful diverse menu here. Everything we ate was very delicious. I especially appreciated that they substituted vegetable for the rice. Service was great. Do you have a favorite server there? Luis was amazing!
We LOVED the band playing rock n roll!!!

We’ve been coming to this location for years. The food is standard fare for a Mexican cafe. They have great margaritas and the service is very good. But what makes this treasure stand out is the live music on the patio. It’s a joy to hear local musicians and watch kids and even some adults let loose. Great desert vibe for families and large groups.

Amazing food, amazing drinks, the enchiladas as amazing and the thing my family always comes back for. The only issue is that they need more Hispanic music and performers. I understand the majority of people in Palm desert are more affluent, but that shouldn’t diminish the authenticity of atmosphere. We need Spanish music here, not The Beach Boys.

My wife and I have been visiting Casuelas Cafe for over 20 years. Their most recent remodel including lots of outdoor seating and a performance stage has only made the location better. Our most recent visit was perfect timing to catch the live music while dining Al fresco. The atmosphere was FUN, our server was excellent and friendly. My only complaint is that the Spanish rice, which we look forward to every time we come was very salty and tasted burnt. This has never happened before so I am assuming it was a, ‘bad batch?’ Anyway, this will not prevent us from returning, as this trip was the most fun we have had there ever – and Harpo the Clown even showed up to say, “Hello.”

Great, SHADED parking! Indoor/outdoor seating, live music, the best margaritas. We have been coming here for 26 years. It has Always been one of our favorites. The food is authentic and the staff cheerful. What more could you ask for?

Excellent!! The mariachi band was fantastic! The food was excellent! The service was stellar! Wonderful flavors and a great atmosphere! I ordered the Carne Asada burrito and my friend ordered a ground beef burrito. The salsa was freshly made and very flavorful. I loved the beans. The guacamole was fresh with large chunks of avocado. I had a premium margarita with Payton Reposado and it came to $18 which I think was pricey for a small drink.

Such a great environment with live music.
Service was very good. I ordered fajitas. Portion was very large. Steak was nicely cooked. However the rice was a bit mushy and would have been nice to have more than two tortillas.
Overall good and would come back.

I will say this it started out very good, the courteous and quick staff aim to please. It was very hot outside though and eventually we discovered the patio misters and fans were not very effective.
Then comes the food. The menu was typical but rather pricey compared to other mexican restaurants. We decided to savor the enchaladas and tacos. I must say the enchaladas were nearly the best—-if not the BEST —- we have ever had. The tacos were also delightful but not as exceptional as the enchaladas. Unlike the main course, the trimming rice and beans seemed rather dry and tasteless. There was also too much cheese… very thick and just too much.
One area of disappointment was a decline in the service quality toward the end of our meal. Apparently they all went on break at the same time. Everyone needs a break, but maybe stagger them so service is maintained.
Would we go back? Maybe, but probably not. Dropping $60 on mexican food that is partly delicious and partly average is not same thing that we are likely to do again.

We love coming here because there’s plenty of room the food is great and there’s also some entertainment on the weekends. There is plenty of parking at the back and there’s never a problem with the size of your booking. The salsa and the chips are fantastic, and the servings are very generous.

Got a mild case of food poisoning after eating their New Mexico enchiladas and chips ‘n salsa. It all tasted fine but sure didn’t agree with my stomach later that night. Service was OK. Missed hearing the live music so atmosphere, I’m sure, was lively.
