This place is perfect for a quick lunch date or drinks before dinner. We truly enjoyed the drinks we had, they were made to perfection. The tostada sample is a must try. I would say it's good for one person (cause I could probably eat and enjoy all of it!) but a great share plate as well. Plenty of parking in the back (we went for lunch), there's outdoor and indoor seating, and service was great!

I had called Crudo in advance to try to make a dinner reservation for my large party. While they didn't take reservations, they said if I called them a few hours in advance to give a heads up, they would have a table ready for us. And that's exactly how it went! They gave us a fire pit table on the patio, which looked great and sounded cool in theory, but it made sharing food across the table and keeping drinks cold very tricky. The overall ambiance of the patio was very pleasant though! For drinks, I ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc (good except it quickly got warm) and we got two orders of Fanny Bay Oysters for the table. The Oysters were awesome - huge and fresh-tasting! For the rest of our food, my boyfriend and I shared the De Los Patrones Ceviche, Camarones Gallo, and La Tabla (a crudo assortment). This was a lot of food for two people, but we managed to finish it all. The De Los Patrones Ceviche was tasty and definitely had a kick to it! We only poured on some of the sauce it came with because it was so spicy. The Camarones Gallo were probably my favorite - great crunchy texture, awesome sweet and spicy glaze. La Tabla ended up being massive and came with Ahi, Scallops and Shrimp. The scallops were very acidic, and my favorite part was the Ahi, which had a nice sesame sauce. My friends enjoyed their food as well, including the Poky Tower, Truffle French Fries, and Lobster Quesadillas. Service was so professional and attentive and they even brought out a Lava Cake for me at the end, as a birthday dessert. The Lava Cake was insanely delicious - highly recommend ordering this! Overall, a great experience for dinner.

I came here for lunch with my fiance. We both ordered the Triple Berry Gimlet, which we both liked. For food I ordered the iron steak tacos, and they were amazing! The steak was nice and tender with lots of flavor. I wish there had been 3 tacos, but 2 tacos was probably just the right amount. They really stuff the tacos full. Would definitely order this again.

I found this place based on their high reviews and they were mentioned in a NYT article. We just finished our morning at Joshua Tree and were looking for a late lunch spot. We were seated right away and loved all of the options to sit on the porch or bar or table. We also lucked out with the perfect sunny weather and open air seating. I had a spicy Bloody Mary and the server recommended the negro modela for my husband's michaelada. Both drinks were delicious and refreshing. I appreciate all of the extras on top of the drinks too. That's how they should all be served! Food... the ahi nachos had pretty rave reviews so we wanted to try it. I noticed the pictures had an orange sauce on the tuna and I realized it must've been from the ginger or some other creme. It was very tasty but if I were to order it again, i would probably ask to have the creme on the side or lighter. The ahi portions were generous and perfect and all of the flavors together were fresh and delicious. I would recommend it. The burger arrived looking beautiful and tasty. I was sad the fries were not more crispy though, but it wasn't my meal so I didn't steal too many, ha. Service was attentive and helpful. The back patio and fire place would be inviting for an early evening spot. The restroom is shared with another restaurant so there was always a line queued waiting. We found free parking around the corner and enjoyed walking around the street. We will come back and recommend to others.

Small place with indoor (with bar seating) and outdoor seating. Not the best for big groups more than 4. Very friendly and attentive service. Drinks were hit and miss for our party. Food was fantastic! Great ceviche and a large shareable plate of ...a bunch of stuff - steak, pork belly, fried squid, shrimp, octopus! Really good for a party of 4.

Fan of chicken ranch next door but got lured in by the ambiance. Indoor, outdoor seating, as well as a fire pit dining area in the back. Very modern and upscale feel felt like I was in Beverly Hills. Love the assortment of drinks tried the passion fruit habanero margarita which has a kick but if spicy is your thing go for the mango "la cuajona" top tier spice! Ordered the pulpo bites fresh and perfect texture and split the crab enchiladas that come served with flour tortillas but can opt for corn if you like I was told. The sauce on these bad boys were next level and filled pretty well with enough crab. Great service, very attentive , from the host at the front to our server very knowledgeable and well versed on the menu. Definitely coming back to try more Margaritas Mamalonas and that poke tower!!

We enjoyed out seafood lunch here! We were seated in the back patio area which was really cute with the lawn area to the other stores and housing closeby. There's a nice Palm Spring mural in the area to snag a photo too. Bathroom is shared with the other units and it's only one stall so can take a bit and you may need a code. Everything we ordered we liked and the seafood was fresh! Peruvian cuisine knows how to make their sauces so dish had a distinct flavor. Their menu says 'colorful and flavorful' which is spot on. + SCALLOPS NEGROS - scallops were so plump and the the sauce was very citrusy! + SONORA SHRIMP - Mild creamy, onions - paired so well with the arugula salad and the shrimp were also quite plump. + DE LOS PATRONES CEVICHE - served with crispy tostados and had a little bit of everything such as scallop, octopus, shrimp ,and fish blended in a refreshing, citrus + PULPO EN MOLE - my favorite dish of the meal. The mole poblano had so much depth, that thick chocolatey taste and the octopus was cooked perfectly. I liked the corn salad with it too. They have a handmade hot sauce you should ask for that was really tasty and brought the heat.

Crudo was amazing! We ordered a few things to share, figuring we would start out with that and order more after. We ordered the Chili Relleno, Pulpo, and Pork Belly tacos. In ordering, I expected the Pork Belly tacos to be my favorite, and they actually were not. Don't get me wrong, they were delicious, cooked perfectly, a little bit sweet and a little bit spicy. The Octopus was phenomenal, it was cooked PERFECTLY which is, I feel the biggest issues with most places I order octopus at (it tends to be chewy), Crudo's was melt in your mouth tender! The star of the show though, for me was the Chile Relleno, it was simply put, amazing! Cooked perfectly, the sauce was finger licking good. We ended the meal with the Flan, which I feel I would skip next time, the texture to me was a bit different than I was expecting, but overall, the experience here was great. From the friendly staff to the delicious meal, to the nice little outdoor seating in the back. It was so good, that I wanted to come back again the next day (they were closed the next day, or we would have!). Come check out this place, A+

Located on the main drag, the restaurant is beautiful and servers were friendly. Mild fly problem but they handle it in a cute way. At least at the bar area. Restrooms are out back and seem to be shared with the rest of the plaza. Women's restroom requires a code to enter so it was not bad but I heard the men's restroom was wrecked likely because it did not require a code. I had a few bites of the smoked pork chops and while quite tasty, I can't stop thinking about the seared scallops on tamarind sauce!! I enjoyed my Passion Fruit Lemon Drop and wish I had room for dessert!
