We went early - so ambience wasn't that great; not many people in restaurant. Also, definitely do not like they only provide one small order of chips for free and that it costs money for every other order. Only Mexican restaurant I know that does that.

Food and margaritas are always delicious. Due to heat, sat inside rather than outside. It was crowded and noisy, which meant our server couldn’t be as attentive as usual and the ambiance was affected by the noise. Dinner was still delicious and we’ll continue to come back.

Overall eating at mirasol is good but you could improve your refried beans. The flavor is pretty bland and I forgot that your margaritas have next to no tequila in them. Really you could make stronger margaritas. The service is always good.

Once again you did not disappoint! We brought 2 friends for dinner last evening. It was their first time at your restaurant. They (and of course us) will definitely be back! We are all locals and very impressed with the quality of the food and the wonderful service. I had wanted to order the chicken mole poblano…my favorite, but was told you did not have it last night. I asked our server for a recommendation. She suggested the pechugas mirasol. It was absolutely amazing. And may now be my new favorite! I would be happy to recommend Mirasol to anyone..anytime!

First of all we terribly miss Mirasol at the Los Arboles Hotel & hope it reopens soon. That being said this was our first visit to Mirasol (South) and we were pleased to find the same menu, preparation and friendly staff as well as the superb hot sauce for sale to take home.

Unfortunately, we were unable to dine at either restaurant. Due to a lack of communication on the part of El Mirasol, we were not informed of either restaurant's closure on Easter until THE VERY LAST MNUTE. We had to scramble to find another place to dine. This matter was handled very poorly on the side of the restaurant. We will not be dining here in the future and will share our concerns with others. Super sad.

Service was outstanding! I only gave a 9 for Ambience as we were on the patio, and it was a bit loud with the cars zooming by on Palm Canyon (not El Mirasol's fault). We were so glad that the restaurant could accommodate a party of 8 so easily. The food was delicious. Thank you!

We have been going to El Mirasol for years and are never disappointed. Their chicherrón en salsa is the best.

This is one of those local places I always wanted to try…. and glad I did! Very good service, not too loud, good menu and the food was hot and very good. My cheese enchilada was very good, but a little bland (no green onions??), but still delicious. I did request no rice, but it came anyway… I just left it (although I hate to waste). Never got to my taco because I was full, but took it home for dinner and it was also delicious.

$30 with tip for one large and one small (cheap, simple) margarita is ridiculous! I didn’t expect the evening to be inexpensive and it’s obvious that you’re still packed with people, but your prices are a bit outrageous.

Wonderful experience & delicious food! Skinny margaritas a bit on the harsh side, but when mixed with regular, quite wonderful! Same with salsa - mix the regular & the spicy && add that & salt to the guac! Tortillas hot fresh & delicious & we loved the Shrimp Pipian, shrimp enchiladas, and shrimp Diablo! Great friendly service.

El Mirasol is our favorite Mexican food restaurant in Palm Springs. I would've given it all 10 stars, but because it was raining we sat inside and it was really noisy. It wasn't the restaurant's fault, but there was a very loud party sitting next to us and we couldn't hear people seated next to us in our group. I wouldn't suggest sitting inside. Otherwise, the food was delicious as always and the staff was terrific.
