   Very good good! The atmosphere was delightful but there were a lot of tables in a small space so it was not as intimate as I’d hoped. The cocktails were delightful as well as the squash blossom appetizer. Very cool decor.

   We had a great meal last night. First time for all four of us. Everyone ordered something different and everyone liked what they received. The drinks (although pricey) were delicious too. Zoe was our server and she gave great recommendations, was attentive, funny and all around made our evening even more special. Outside seating with heat lamps made it a perfect temperature to dine outside.

   The first visit after opening was great so I returned today and ordered the same dishes but the taco was too salty today and the salad dressing tasted different from last time.

    Loved every minute! The ambiance, the drinks (La Dama deliciousness), the food (short ribs taco, enchiladas, crab cakes, chips, salsa and yummy guacamole) and the surprise birthday dessert! So good! Great vibe and recommend going on Thursday to enjoy the festival downtown. We also tried the flight of special margs and the pineapple hands down was the best. On top of all that, the artwork is inspiring.

    I don't get it. Online reviews were raving about this place. Service was with a smile, and attentive but waitress didn't know the menu and recommended exactly what I didn't want. Margarita - asked for anything BUT fancy, a straight classic, response was I know just the one, brought out a pineapple marg - you're kidding right? Crab dish was odd and horrible - we ate two bites - $27 down the drain. Red burrito was good, juicy, not enough seasoning - bland, not anything special. Asked to switch to a beer after trying my best to drink half the pineapple margarita, I said do you have a good medium bodied beer, just NO FRUITY BEERS, I'll even do an IPA just anything to get the pineapple out of my mouth I said laughing, sure she said, I know the perfect beer, I mean I'm not a beer drinker but - as she walked away before I could catch her...she brought out a fruity beer - pineapple. I asked if this was a joke that she was playing on me, laughing. She said no, why? So fool me once...this one was on me, you got me. We didn't enjoy sitting 2 feet apart from another couple on the patio arguing aggressively through dinner, some larger tables of 4 had tons of room around them, if the couple next to us were great this wouldn't have been a factor one bit, kinda like getting on a flight and the screaming 2 year old coming down the aisle sits right behind you - just no to this place.

    What a fabulous new spot in Downtown Palm Springs! It’s located right behind Free People on Palm Canyon and has a great view of the mountain and the Marylin statue. The atmosphere is stylish yet super comfortable! Gorgeous, colorful artwork line the walls and the decor and seating are also very on point, stylish and comfortable. They even have colorful warm blankets on the patio if you need!…and definitely check out the bathrooms too…every aspect of the design seems to have been carefully and creatively curated. The food, delicious!!! I had the Cochinita Pibil (beautifully marinated pulled pork with a side of rice and house made tortillas) The craft cocktails were balanced and tasty. I had the 1941 Bourbon cocktail! So yummy! The service was also kind and attentive without being over bearing. All in all, a fantastic experience and I will definitely be coming back and sharing this new gem with all of my friends and family! Well done!

    We are frequent diners at Tac/Quila and The Farm and have enjoyed many great experiences at these sister properties. This experience was so horrible that we may not continue with our loyalty as frequent guests. It’s unfortunate that one really bad employee can make such an impact. We waited for 45 minutes for our appetizer (Nachos) to arrive upon placing order. The food was not up to par on quality and the nachos were a night and day different from our experience at Clandestino a couple of days earlier. My drink had a hair in it. Thankfully it was visible and the server was at the table when I saw it and immediately had it replaced. After an hour and a half of being seated, our entrees never arrived. I had to ask the manager Melina for the the bill as our entrees never came. There was no apology by manager. There was no leadership and certainly no attempt to remedy or show a semblance of care. We paid $73 plus 25% tip as it wasn’t server’s fault - for two drinks and an order of tasteless nachos that were cold and bare. I wrote a letter to the owners immediately and sent it via emai upon leaving the restaurant. I’m grateful to the owner who contacted me right away and explained this was out of character. He said he felt bad and asked what could be done. I shared that we had reservations for tomorrow night (NYE) and to please simply ensure a quality experience. He said he would do his best. Unfortunately, the last experience and the handling by Melina left such a poor taste in our mouths (literally) that we opted to cancel tonight. I hope this feedback helps this beautiful restaurant get on track.

    Everything was great - we’re looking forward to dining on the patio again especially when the days get longer (all seating is outdoors except at the bar). Menu is similar to Tac/Quila yet there are some dishes unique to Clandestino such as Cochinta Pibil, stuffed squash blossoms and oysters. And like Tac/Quila - the best margaritas in town.

    WOW! My family of 3 loved our dinner here (on a Thursday night, so there was the street fair going on nearby to add to the fun). Powerful heaters kept us comfortable in the al fresco setting, and the food was fantastic! (I had veggie fajitas, my wife had the cochinita pibil and my daughter the trio of quesadillas, all met with raves). Will look forward to going here again!
