El Encuentro - Palm Springs

5 stars all around, I brought my family of 5,My kids loved the tacos especially the Al pastor. Definitely coming back again.

I went there seen a German roach on the wall. Then still gave them a chance and ordered chips and salsa they thought they were slick and gave me Tostitos chips and charged me menu price. If I wanted Tostitos I could have just got it myself from the store. Ordered tacos and the tortillas were hard as a rock couldn’t even finish eating it. And they act like they don’t want to serve you.Sketchy both times I went .And they always try to get you to get the most expensive thing on the menu. Waste of money. Good luck seriously.

Every visit the food was made fresh, staff super nice, beer cold. Be prepared to order in Spanish or use google translate. This is a can't miss little gem.

First time checking this place out for tacos. Taco's are on their menu at $3.00 each but for Taco Tuesday the chicken and beef ones are $1.00 each so I had to try both! When I first came in no one at register but a few minutes later a lady came from the back and greeted me! She was pleasant and smiled ! After order which took about ten minutes I got my tacos which were served on a plate with some green hot sauce in a plastic container! The chicken one was shredded white breast meat which were very dry and lacked any flavor to the meat! That taco had cilantro and onion on it corn tortilla which was warmed yea!! ! The beef taco had a better flavor and was not dry with cilantro and onion. If I were to come again I recommend just order the beef and the price can't be beat ! If in area on a Tuesday I would stop back in ! I don't know if those tacos on other days are the same but those tacos I had are not worth $3.00. The parking there is very small ! When I went there was a camper parked in middle in between that restaurant and a company that works on cars not length wise but width wise! Not easy to get in and out because of how it's parked !! Kinda aggravating to park with that parked where it is ! Outside taco place they have many benches to sit outside !

Food was good. Service was questionable. I had to place my order with a Girl at the counter. Then another walked in off the street and turned out to be my waitress. She then goes behind the counter and a guy comes in. She 's busy chatting and laughing with the guy, I had to get up to ask her for more stuff like hot sauce, my check etc. several times. The music is super load and annoying. It 's not enjoyable at all. The have a lunch special daily from 11-3 of grilled chicken for $6.99, and was exactly what I had ordered. I had no idea and it was a nice surprise, because I was ready to pay the 15 dollars they ask for on their regular menu. While I was waiting for her attention I was Perusing the menu and noticed the special. When I stood up to go pay, she was charging me full price. I mentioned it to her and she was like, oh that 's right . I felt ignored , under appreciated and cheated. The entire place was empty except for me when I arrived and only the one guy flirting with the waitress when I left. I would only go back here to take the same dish (on special) for take out. Because honestly to pay for full price for those thin slices of chicken breast, a small side salad and some beans seems a bit much for what it is. Nonetheless, the flavor of the chicken and their homemade hot sauce is really good.
