“First of all, the food and our waiter were excellent! We found the music to be a bit too loud, at times it was hard to hold a conversation. Our seating was the biggest problem. We were seated at a table right where the kitchen elbows. Most every waiter/waitress walked by with their big trays, most everyone who needed to be seated walked by. That table in this restaurant needs to be totally removed. I would go back - but only if I could be seated at a different table.”
“Went here for the first time today. I wouldn't really call this a tap room. I would call it an incredibly well stocked bar with some beers on tap and a lot of beers in bottles and cans. I've been to probably 50+ breweries and more than 20+ taprooms in my life and this is not what I expected. Anyway, I ordered the taco pinsa. It was almost excellent. Just needed the bottom of the bread to be cooked a little more crunchy. But the flavors and idea of it was so good! We sat outside and played cards and it's a nice environment in which to hang out. There was a guy down the street playing music so that was cool. I gave the service a 4 because all the women were so nice but, of course, I got the crabby guy. Anyway, if this review sounds good, it's worth giving it a try!”
“We just had a fantastic dinner at El Mexicali Cafe II. We went at about 530pm on a Saturday. It was busy but we only waited for a few minutes for a table for 3. All 3 of us ordered a dish and just split everything which was perfect! Margaritas were great and food was absolutely fantastic. Our server Edwin was very attentive and knowledgeable and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of us. The sauce they use on the fajitas is just to die for. We will be back and will recommend to family and friends.”

“La comida deliciosa ❤️ mi restaurante favorito de comida Mexicana”

“Yummy! The chicken tender was very tender, served fresh, and had amazing flavor. I order it hot with the Dave's sauce. It came with a slice of white bread and sliced pickles. The tender was large, too. All for only $7. Will definitely be one of my go to. It was very clean and the team had great customer service. Maria recommended I try honey on the wing. Great advice. It was so delicious. I wish I had ordered more.”
“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!!”

“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!!”
“Phenomenal al pastor and chorizo tacos! Also great rice and beans (super flavorful). Going the carne asada and chicken to be fine, but made better with copious salsa.
Above all, the service was fantastic - great humans, very kind, quick service. A great simple clean dining room to complement the well prepared and tasty food.”
“Wonderful lunch outdoor setting, delicious food and very friendly service.”

“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.”
“Amazing atmosphere,no end of art to look at lots of attention to detail
Service was great! And food was soo good!
Ill look forward to returning!!
Another great visit to Big Rock Pub !!”
“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 love coming here- small mom and pop with great Chinese dishes. We love coming for the dim sum which is served between 11-4pm daily. Shumai, soup dumpling, shrimp steamed dumpling and veggie dumplings are our go to. Their seasoned green beans, stir fried beef dish, chow mein, and wonton soup is also a must try. They have plenty of indoor seating and a beer/wine list as well.”
“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!!”
“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.”

“This is honestly the best del taco I’ve ever had, all the employees were really nice people and gave me suggestions on the menu, big shoutout to Armando for cooking my chicken cheddar quesadilla, my food had the perfect crisp and delicious flavor. Thank you so much Armando and the del taco crew that day🙏”
“I always get the Del Beef Burrito when I come to a Del Taco. A large, thick burrito with nothing but beef, cheese and red sauce.
These things are better than anything put out by Taco Bell - though I must admit I do honestly prefer the taste of Taco Bell's meat. But trying to get a burrito there that is only beef and cheese is expensive.
EDIT: The owner seems to be under the impression that I didn't get quality service. I don't know what they're talking about, i thought i left a fairly positive review. I would respond to them directly but Maps doesn't seem to allow that.
My experience was good and positive and virtually identical to any other experience at Del Taco that I've had. This was not a negative review. And the people who responded for the owner disappoint me”
“JOY is our favorite Asian restaurant. It never disappoints and last night was no exception. It was my wife's birthday and they took great care of us. Great food and great service!”
“Fantasy Springs Resort Casino is always a great time. Easily access getting in and out and a great place to go and have fun, love the RockYard and all the great bands that play there.”

“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.”
“BEST Sushi in the desert! Consistently great.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!”

“I was very pleased with the quality of my coffee, the pastries and the attentive staff I encountered yesterday at the Daily Grind. The Basque Cheesecake was exceptionally moist and delicious. I took a blueberry muffin home for breakfast today. It was great, too!”
“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!”
“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.😁”
“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.”
“Absolutely the BEST I have ever eaten in my 80 years! Lunas is a wonderful, warm, friendly village restaurant at the new Canopy in Indio. Staff and ambiance are extraordinary.”
“I LOvE chocolate!!!
I was in candy heaven when I recently popped into this chocolate factory while visiting family.
The shop is very clean. The gal behind the counter was very friendly. I appreciated her wearing gloves to handle the candy.
I bought a wide variety of items from orange jelly filled to nut clusters to coconut shavings.
Everything was fresh, delicious and extremely satistying.
I highly recommend Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for your sweet indulgence.
The shop also carries various flavors of apples on a stick including caramel, M&M's, chocolate, coconut, Reese's Pieces and more!”
