Inspired by the cultures of Latin America, La Cocina at Reforma pays homage to the Southern California experience. Cuisines from Mexico, Central, and South America are represented and fused, paired with our handcrafted cocktails, delivering a unique dining experience. The Peruvian Chicken, Lomo Saltado and Short Rib Mole have become instant classics. Choose from elegant, sophisticated cocktails or the deep selection of wines to pair with your meal.

La Cocina at Reforma has reinvigorated the former Robinson's department store building, a Class A historical site that is a Palm Springs icon. The patio provides views of lively downtown and the Architecture and Design Center, another example of mid-century architecture. The interiors respect the building's heritage, while offering a luxe dining experience.

    Food was great, beyond expectations. There were only 2 details that brought the experience down from a perfect 5 Star evening. 1. We were seated in the bar. And 2. The charge for extra tortillas.

    The short rib mole was fantastic. Didn’t care for the beet salad. They need better signing for the restaurant

    We did not feel welcome. Reservations were made and confirmed but seemed to be very disorganized. Valentin’s Day was not offered a roses but were being given out to others. When challenged said they weren’t discriminating but that wasn’t the point of our challenge and so I was curious why they went there first. To make amends they committed to comping a round of drinks but that wasn’t visible on the check. We will not be returning and I would not recommend that anyone who expects to be valued as a guest not go there either.

    We're sorry for failing to offer you a rose upon your arrival for your Valentine's Day experience. It is our intention to make every guest feel welcome and often that is in the smallest details. We appreciate your feedback and will address it with our staff.

    Great hidden gem. This has been a night club with a restaurant for the last 3 years but recently rebranded the restaurant. The space is lovely, intimate and quiet. The food was great. Complex flavors, plated artfully with generous portions. Check this out!

    Irene was our server and she was just amazing. Irene brought our individual dishes out like she was orchestrating a symphony. The food was delicious but, there’s always a but, be prepared for spicy but tasty food. By spicy I appreciated it but husband was not a huge fan. But he ate his entire meal. Go figure…..

    Hi John. Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your meal and found our service to be amazing. We strive to provide our guests with a memorable dining experience and your kind words truly make our day. We appreciate your feedback regarding the spiciness level and we're always looking for ways to improve. Our Chilean chicken escalopa is always a great option for folks more sensitive to spicy food. We hope to see you again soon at La Cocina at Reforma.
