Tac/Quila isn’t your average taco joint. This lively downtown Palm Springs spot blends upscale Jalisco-style cuisine with mid-century charm and a side of serious tequila appreciation. Created by husband and wife duo Liz and Mark Ostoich, the restaurant is a love letter to the food, art, and culture of Mexico. After launching their first concept, FARM, the couple decided to bring another dream to life. This time drawing on the rich culinary traditions and vibrant design sensibilities of Mexican heritage. The result is a restaurant that’s as colorful and bold as the dishes it serves.
Good Vibes and Even Better Bites
Step inside Tac/Quila and you’ll immediately be wrapped in warmth, including rich wood textures, pops of color, curated Mexican artwork, and stylish modern touches all come together to create an inviting, high-energy space. The ambiance strikes that rare balance between upscale and approachable, whether you’re there for a casual lunch or a lively dinner date. There’s indoor and outdoor seating, with a spacious patio that lets you soak in the Palm Springs sunshine while sipping your margarita.
Now let’s talk about the food. Tac/Quila delivers on authenticity with a menu that showcases gourmet takes on Jalisco staples. Think tacos stuffed with juicy carnitas, seared ahi tuna, or rich birria, all elevated with fresh salsas and creative sides. For vegetarians, dishes like jackfruit enchiladas and tempura avocado tacos prove just as satisfying. Every plate is beautifully presented, but the real joy is in the flavor.
