“We had a wonderful dinner! And then they brought us a dessert and card for our anniversary. We highly recommend this restaurant.”
“Ambience is very chill and quiet, decor is subtle and yet attractive. Hostess was amazing in her timing and service. Food impeccable and Drinks DELICIOUS. A MUST TRY !!”
“Always a favorite to have dinner at. You can get there early, and enjoy a little gambling downstair in the Fantasy Ssprings Casino, then have a relaxing, delicious dinner at the Bistro. My favorite drink is their signature Lemon Drop and my favorite dish is the Seabass. Yum yum”
“Over the top amazing. The fish tacos were incredible, the chili relleno is something I always order. Yes it is a Mexican restaurant but the food and the Cadillac margaritas are truly memorable, the experience is similar to exquisite dining. No table cloths no cloth napkins limited upscale decorations but a restaurant we always visit from Phoenix.”

“10/10, good prices. Only Kimbop on this side of town and it hitss, Yellow tail roll is delicious side dish, quality of the fish is there. Served at perfect temp too.

“The deviled eggs and sloppy Joe inspired grill cheese style is absolutely amazing! The service, the vibes, the sports, the people, everything about Big Rock is the perfect dose of Energy and an all around humble good times.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“It was all OK... The tri trip and pulled pork was pretty moist. Portions were good and the value of my meal excellent.
The Mac & Cheese didn't dry out and the corn (IMHO) was very very good...couldn't eat the bread which seemed like a basic, grilled hot dog bun.
The worse part are the water cups, so tiny... I had to make 4 trips to the cooler to refill. Hated that part.”
“It's a very nice Mexican restaurant. My waiter was great and the food came out fast. I only have one complaint. I'm from the Midwest, Kansas and our Mexican food is served with ground beef, not shredded meat unless you order fajitas. I guess it's a California thing to use shredded meat instead of ground beef. Next time I google a Mexican food restaurant, I'll check out the menu first to see if they use ground beef!!”

“Greta time, went on a Saturday night, karaoke started closer to 9:30pm. Karaoke was fun but the other reviews are right, the microphones either don't work or you could barely hear, some people were singing and it was as if the mics were completely off. Someone at the table near us was openly smoking weed and it just smelt burnt the entire time, no one told him anything. Overall good time, our waiter with the ponytail/ glasses was attentive and kind, hopefully the mics get replaced soon.”
Outdoor Dining
“This restaurant has been around for 60 years. I have been a regular guest for 5 years. The staff is very professional and friendly! If you want a pleasant experience, I will look for you there! The menu is full of great dishes and if you like Margaritas, the ladies will set you up nicely! Located in Old Indio, they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner! They have outdoor seating and any restaurant around this long means they are very good!!”

“I have gone to the restaurant and to the stand and I recommend both places. They're friendly and attentive; the restaurant is clean and the staff is welcoming. I've tried their Al Pastor tacos, carne asada and suadero and its a really good flavor. In my opinion their Al Pastor is very authentic; it reminds me of my childhood in Mexico.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We’ve been members of Indio Brewing for nearly a year, and after recently purchasing a home in the neighborhood, it’s truly become our own little “Cheers.” What started as a place to grab a great beer has turned into a place where perfect strangers have become lifelong friends.
The in-house brewed beers are, in our opinion, the best in the Coachella Valley. There’s always something new to try, and we love that we can take our favorites home in cans to enjoy later.
Lizzy, Chris, Steph & Kyle have created something incredibly special and rare in the Valley. Their weekly lineup of live entertainment, events, food vendors, and community gatherings means there’s always something to look forward to, and if there’s a game on, you can count on it being on one of the TVs.
More than anything, Indio Brewing has built a community. It’s a place where friends become family, where neighbors genuinely know one another, and where you can unwind after a long day in a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through the Coachella Valley, do yourself a favor and belly up to the bar, order a flight, and discover your new favorite beer. Chances are, you’ll leave with more than a great drink; you’ll leave with new friends, too.”

“We tried out this restaurant and we loved the food. We have been back multiple times trying different dishes on Menu. Today Shrimp green enchiladas plate. Also Vuelve a la Vida coctel. Simply amazing. Last week we had Menudo and Chilaquiles w/Steak eggs loved ❤ it. 100% recommended 👌 service is great!”
“I was visiting from Canada and celebrated the release of a debut music video at a place no more fitting than Big Rock! It was my first time here and I couldn’t believe how jaw-dropping the entire experience was. The glass-encased piano below my feet and the guitar-shaped door handles already had me grinning from ear-to-ear before I even stepped inside! The place got more magical as my eyes wandered in delight at all the musical wonders to look at throughout the well-used space - walls, floors, and even the ceilings were covered in signed guitars and incredible artwork. I tried their smash burger (subbed with a vegan patty) and it was delicious! I loved how it was served over tater tots instead of a bun, and its presentation was top-notch. What an exciting and memorable place! Thank you for running such an an awesome joint. Cheers!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience celebrating our daughter’s birthday at JOY this week!
When we initially called, it seemed like they might not be able to accommodate our large party, so we decided to go in person and speak with a manager. We are so glad we did!
When we arrived on Monday, everything was set up beautifully. Although our entire party wasn’t able to sit together, it honestly worked out perfectly and didn’t take away from the celebration at all.
The staff went above and beyond! Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, attentive, and efficient. We had SO much delicious food, and the atmosphere was absolutely beautiful.
We are forever thankful to the entire JOY team for helping make our daughter’s birthday celebration such a wonderful and memorable experience. Thank you for taking such great care of our family and guests! ❤”
“La comida deliciosa ❤️ mi restaurante favorito de comida Mexicana”
24 Hour Restaurants
“Chili Verde Nachos are great!
Chorizo burrito was a little dry but still good. If you like the green salsa you have to ask for ranchers sauce. We asked for some and we were given red sauce when I asked about the green the girl said that is the green sauce. I looked at her if she was color blind. Then that's when she said to ask for Ranchero sauce.”
“This Del Taco has always been great! The young lady at the drive thru was awesome and they were quick with the order so I could get it to my wife asap. Side note, the one off Dillon Road in Coachella is terrible, save yourself some time and agony and go to this one! 😁”
“Don't recall ever seeing a Falafel burger anywhere, yet they have one, and very delicious one at that. The onion rings are most excellent. My husband had the sweet potato fries that he says they are delicious (I hate all sweet potato fries). The restaurant is clean, the employees very accommodating and nice, and they serve beer - can't get much better than this. Worth checking out if you've never been, I know I'll be back.”
“Saintsteelwood is a live rock band and one of our favorite places to play is The Tack Room. We play feel good sounds of the swingin' 60's. Please come see us play and dance to our live music. There's a large dance area, friendly staff and great food. We play throughout the Coachella Valley. ✌️❤️”

“We were looking for a sweet treat, did a quick search, and ended up here—and we’re so glad we did. The menu is simple and focused entirely on raspados, and they truly specialize in them. The flavors were delicious, and the texture of the ice was perfect—every bite was packed with flavor.
The owners were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient, which made the experience even better. If you’re in the area and craving something refreshing, this spot is definitely worth a visit.”
“I only post reviews when it is terrible or delicious. This place swung for the fences. Massive portions and so delicious. Broccoli and beef, orange chicken, vegetable lo-mein, white rice, and fried rice. Cooked fresh and no disappointment. I have been trying to find a decent Chinese restaurant in her in the valley for 10 years and I found it!!!”
“BEST Sushi in the desert! Consistently great.”
“I came to get lunch at the busiest time of the day and there was a Guy getting ten sandwiches and seven others waiting in line. The very nice employee named Jenny was working solo because the other employee was on mandatory break and Jenny quickly got everyone taken care of with a smile and kind words. Get that girl a raise, she deserves it.”
“Loving coming here the food is always good and just an old dinner vibe! I always get the cheeseburger with avocado and bacon. One of the only thing that sucks is the pricing really doesn’t make sense single cheese burger avocado and bacon is 9.99 but with the double is five bucks more. Overall great experience and really good food!”

“A Friendly Place With Good Customer Service and everything made fresh 💯👌😋”
“Tacos Galaktikos is seriously one of the best food trucks I’ve tried! The food is always fresh, full of flavor, and the portions are really good for the price. I had the al pastor tacos and birria nachos and everything was packed with flavor, especially the meat and salsas. The aguas frescas were also super refreshing. Service was fast and friendly, and the whole vibe of the truck is really cool and unique. Definitely coming back again and recommending it to everyone!”
“I really enjoyed the quesadilla. Initially in dropped in just to explore the menu, but the aroma was amazing and I ended up ordering food. They really have attention to detail with their signature offerings. I see myself dropping in more often. Especially great for those using the 4th & 9th subway station.”

“We have been coming to Taco Gonzales for YEARS, and it has truly become one of our family’s favorite places. The food is always delicious, but what really makes this place special is the people.
This is a family-run restaurant, and they genuinely make you feel like you’re part of their family. Armando, Anna, and Alex are the familiar faces we see most often, and their second son also helps in the kitchen. Every time we come in, we’re greeted with that warm, welcoming feeling that you just don’t get everywhere.
And I have to mention one very important detail: my youngest daughter LOVES the carne asada tacos here — tortillas and all! 😂 This is actually the ONLY place where she will eat the tortilla with her carne asada tacos. Anywhere else, she eats the carne and leaves the tortilla behind. So clearly, Taco Gonzales has figured out something special!
After all these years, we keep coming back not only because the food is so good, but because it feels like we’re visiting people we know and care about. If you’re in Indio and haven’t tried Taco Gonzales yet, you absolutely should. Support this wonderful family-owned business — you won’t regret it! ❤”
“We visited after spending the day at Joshua Tree National Park. The food selection was remarkable. We sampled many items. Everything was delicious and creative. The staff is kind, patient explaining the dishes we ate and welcoming. Overall a five star place from 2 people traveling from Missouri. Thank you a fantastic dinner experience!”
“First time visiting Taqueria Mazatlan and we were extremely impressed!
We were greeted within seconds of walking in, and once seated, the staff went above and beyond by bringing us samples of their different meats since it was our first time. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The food was exceptional, but the amazing service made the experience even better.
Definitely the best taco food truck we’ve tried in this area — we’ll absolutely be back!”
“I would say the store is original, signature, and actual. The drinks are all great, the foods are delicious, staffs are nice, the prices are affordable, ingredients are top-quality, the place is clean and nice-looking, the atmosphere is comfortable and cool. It is a really perfect place to hang out for every age. I’ve been coming here for like 3 years, since the day they first opened it. I highly recommend this place! Come through and try out some of the drinks and foods here! You won’t be disappointed. �”
“After a long day at Coachella, we were looking for a good local spot outside the festival grounds—and Maxcy’s Grill hit the spot. It’s a solid, no-frills diner-style place that delivers exactly what you’d expect. The food was fresh, portions were generous, and the service was friendly. For what it is and where it is, Maxcy’s is a great choice if you’re in the area and want a satisfying meal without the crowds or high prices of the festival.”
“Thursday nights are a must at Brad's Pad at Fantasy! His show continues to evolve into a top flight 3 hour classic jam session! Join Neil, Tom and Joe as Brad impersonates these legendary rock stars! Holly Holy Batman!!His band mates along with his sister Sue Lynn take you back in time!C U there!”
“The taste is beyond a 10 !! My family loved the food the experience, the staff is amazing!! This was my first time experiencing a seafood boil like this and I’m glad I experienced it a place like this !! Will DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AND WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!”
“Amazing experience even though we thoroughly embarrassed ourselves while we were there. So grateful to Mike and his team for their next level superior service, delicious food, incredible empathy and generosity. Thank you! We will be back with much more to contribute the next time. :). Thank you to the entire lovely team here.”

“I'm 61 and I've been going there since I was around 6 or seven years old. My dad took me there on our way to salton sea fishing. We would stop at the bait store next door. The foundation is still there. I had lunch there today and just love the double cheeseburgers and fries. My uncle Kenny worked at the gas station there before I was born. Lots a memories.😁”

“Been here twice. The first time was around happy hour and it eas pretty quiet. But that meant thr DJ bartender working was able to chat with us and shared some music knowledge. Super cool vibe. Second time was crowded and late on a Friday night. Glad to see others enjoying this place, and love the themed music nights. Coolest spot in Indio for sure.”

This is definitely my favorite Dutch Bros location to visit, and Mayah is a big reason why. She was so friendly, welcoming, and made me feel appreciated. Thank you, Mayah, for always making the experience so great! 💕”
“Thank you ANDREA AND SAMANTHA !!!!! for being amazing. I’m pretty sure I think that’s your name. We did not get your name but the order for ANGE on 5/5/26 at around 2 PM was amazing. You were quick you were fast and you gave My Daughter amazing customer service we had just left earlier from another restaurant who gave us horrible experience but thank you. The food was amazing. The service was spectacular. God bless you. Hopefully they give you a raise because you are amazing.”
