Great place! - Edit
I ordered the nachos and they were delicious! So many different flavors and I felt full afterwards. The staff was super friendly too, and very helpful when I couldn't pick out of all the options they had. Will be coming back if I'm ever in the area again!

Perhaps my order was just off - Edit
Had the misfortune of another bland meal. Will not be returning anytime soon.
Read moreAfter a break of a couple years from this place, we ventured to try again but found the food (orange cauliflower “chicken) just okay (food was luke warm to boot).
My recent encounter with the “Crazy Good Grilled Chicken Sandwich” left me hesitant to return to Native Foods. Ordered at the urging of the front clerk, it arrived very quickly but was undercooked and subsequently cold. I sent it back and the 2nd version fared no better. To be fair, the side salad with a balsamic dressing was great - fresh and flavorful. I’ll stick with the Twister Wrap next time but need a break from NF’s after this last experience. We’re all grateful to have a vegan eatery in the valley but rushing orders isn’t the way to endear clients to the menu.

Must Visit Location in Palm Springs - Edit
Nachos!!! Lol! Seriously, though my friends and I frequent this place often. Great food & beverages (Watermelon Fresca). They recently remodeled the interior and painted over the long standing mural of their other store locations. It’s now a large plain white wall… just seemed to lose some culture when that happened. Would still recommend

Very good fast food - Edit
A bit off the main drag but I had a burger which was lovely. Chicken tenders were probably the best. My partner had the chicken sandwich which she enjoyed but said "wasn’t amazing and had better”

Great food as always on Native Foods locations - Edit
Went to this one while returning from a car trip to Salvation Mountain and the Salton Sea. It was very convenient to be able to stop at Palm Springs and have this meal. The food was really good like in any other Native Food location, I just found the restaurant itself and the location where it is, a bit dated (but maybe they changed it meanwhile as this was a few years ago).
Read moreStill, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and want to have a fast meal.

Needs a menu update - Edit
Lovely service. If you like the impossible or beyond burger DO NOT order their burgers. They feel so dry in comparison. Everything on the menu looks fine but they do need to update since the world has changed from 1994

Loved the vegan options here!! - Edit
I had the BBQ brisket burger. It was to die for.
Read moreThe orange cauliflower was some of the best cauliflower I've ever had. The stir fried rice was delicious too, but I kept crunching on some really hard pieces as if it did not cook all the way. I ordered the cheese burger to eat on my flight. Love this place.
Pros: The brisket burger is delicious, The orange Cauliflower was delicious. , Order to go
Cons: The fried rice wasn't cooked thoroughly.

Great food, friendly and helpful staff - Edit
My husband and I were passing through Palm Springs on a road trip. We were unfamiliar with the area, but found Native Foods on this website (Happy Cow). We called for directions and the person we spoke to was very friendly and helpful with directions. Turned out he was the kitchen manager. When we got there, masks were required and you could only order to-go or dine outdoors at one of their outdoor tables. We were very happy to see that they were taking Covid precautions very seriously. The manager who took our order was also very friendly and helpful. The food was promptly served and delicious!! I had the Crazy Good Chicken combo with sweet potato seasoned fries and my husband had the Brisket burger combo with fries. We were both very happy with our meals.
Read moreNote to fellow Vegans: Don’t let the window painting that says “Best vegetarian restaurant in the world” worry you. This restaurant, as explained by the manager is fully vegan. It’s the very first Native Foods location and started in1994 when very few people knew what vegan was. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
Pros: Great food, Friendly staff, Outdoor dining available in a covered area
Cons: Location is a little hidden in the Shopping center

Desert Dining - Edit
Native Foods is always a great option, especially in Palm Springs where food is notoriously underwhelming. We’ve never ordered anything that we didn’t like. To be fair, we generally stick to the burgers and sandwiches.

Disappointed - Edit
Normally we love going to native foods but this was our worst experience. We ordered the bbq brisket and chicken burger. The bbq burger was squishy and flat with very little bbq sauce. The chicken burger was super dry and had old avo on it. Hopefully it was just a glitch in the experience, but I was sad that our food tasted so bland and dry.

Impressive - Edit
My 1st time here & they were rolling out the pick up orders all night! I can see why it is popular: yummy food, chill atmosphere, & COVID awareness. The employees are super friendly & very hard workers. Food seems to be ready in about 15 mins. Can't wait to visit their other locations!

Mmm, and 100% VEGAN! - Edit
We had the double burger and double jalapeno burger and loved both, fantastic. We added a side of seasoned fries too, which I recommend if you're hungry.
Read moreService was horrible though, the guy behind the counter seemed irritated and forgot ketchup even though I requested it. That should be standard anyways when you have three orders of fries...
Pros: All vegan!, Not healthy!, American comfort food

Missing something - Edit
Although everything on the menu looked good, the three items we ordered were missing something and/or were bland. Maybe we will try one again in a different city.
