The service was great the food was okay. They have outside seating which can be hot even with the misters. There are better places in Palm Springs but for the money the place is good. It's also nice as it's near the Curve Hotel so we could walk there.

Just popped in here for a bit of low key dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Quick service, amazing Margaritas, and decent quality authentic food. Would go again for sure, try the pork special dish.

Been there several times, overall very good food. Seems to be quite popular, sometimes we had to wait, and never seen many empty tables.

Ordered the Skinny Margarita...was the best I've ever had. Also ordered a Cheese and Chicken Enchilada. The chicken was white and good quality. I will for sure return to El Mirasol. I would say it is the best mexican restaurant in Palm Springs. I live in PS and have tried others to compare. Keep up the good work El Mirasol!

El Mirasol has been a favorite for at least 15 years. Over the years we meet friends here for dinner and take out of town visitors for lunch.

I have been in PSP for a while now and if you want good and consistant quality Mexican food, Go to El Mirasol. Their spinnach enchiladas are awesome!

Food- bland and over priced. Not sure if it's related, but I've been sick all morning. Service- none. Every time we asked for Something, we were told we'd have to wait for Someone else to take the order! Value- $135 for 3 burritos, 3 margaritas and a beer. You be the judge. Decor- highly out dated.

I think that the cook forgot the salt and the spices in our food. Everything was incredibly bland. The only flavor in my dish, was the huge pile of cilantro that made my tacos even less appealing. The "carnitas" was a chunk of pork chopped grilled to death but again without any seasoning whatsoever!.

In an effort to serve both tasty and healthy plates, we do make a conscious effort not to over salt our food since (of course) additional salt is always available on our tables. Regarding carnitas, they are prepared at El Mirasol with cuts of well trimmed pork, slowly simmered in corn oil with garlic, cinnamon, oranges/orange juice, cloves and other... More

This is a great restaurant enjoyed by locals as well as visitors. The food is excellent, great margaritas and a great outdoor patio that is dog friendly. Staff is very friendly and service is very good even when the place is busy. It is a little bit out of the way from the main shopping area of downtown Palm Springs... More
