“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!”
“Sushi was delicious and the rolls had lots more pieces than I anticipated. The server told us to stop ordering and we weren’t sure if we should be offended, but she definitely saved us from getting too much!”
“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.”

“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!!”
“It would be wonderful if they could get rid of all the flies. Food was good, service was good but those annoying flies, yikes🪰🪰.”
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.”
“My partner and I ordered 12 tacos and overall enjoyed the experience. The meat tasted fresh and was topped simply with cilantro and onions, the way authentic street tacos should be. My partner especially enjoyed the tacos, and while I thought they were good overall, I found some of the meats a little underseasoned for my taste.
The chicken taco had a fair amount of gristle that hadn’t been trimmed properly, but the sausage, pork, and steak tacos were all enjoyable. As others have mentioned, the salsa was very watery and had an unusual sweetness that wasn’t really to our liking, although the verde sauce was quite good.
The service was excellent—friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The atmosphere is that of a small traditional taco shop and felt authentic, although it doesn’t have much character or ambiance.
Overall, the tacos were fresh and the service was great. Prices were reasonable, although the tacos were a bit on the smaller side. We were a just bit surprised that all of the sauces and chips were charged as extras but maybe thats normal in this area. We did appreciate the lemon wedges and radishes though.”

“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.”

“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. ✌️❤️”

“I have to say that this is some of best Asian food that I’ve had. We had a Chinese (Kung Pao shrimp) and a Singapore (Singapore style curry rice noodle) dish. Both were fantastic! Excellent flavors, well balanced and the shrimp were cooked perfect in both. I’ve never been compelled to write a review as much as am tonight. Spice level was perfect for both as well. Service was very good and the ambiance fit the decor and was relaxing. I didn’t expect much being a casino restaurant but was pleasantly surprised. 100% recommend!”
“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!!”
“Its my first time and I will say it was a good experience. Owner came right away took our order, atmosphere was quiet and calm. I liked their food, personally my favorite was the soup bao and the fried rice. The portions are big so don't make the same mistake as me and order too much. I liked the design and arts on the walls, it gave a home vibe to it. It's very aesthetically pleasing I would definitely recommend trying.”
“Wonderful lunch outdoor setting, delicious food and very friendly service.”

“I’ve had plenty of orders from different here where something was wrong, and usually I just ask for it to be fixed. Mistakes happen. What really stood out to me about this employee at Castaneda’s was that they got everything right the first time. It’s rare to find someone, especially on the overnight shift, who pays such close attention to the order and takes pride in doing their job well.
Great attitude, great customer service, and excellent attention to detail. This employee made the experience enjoyable simply by caring enough to get it right the first time. I believe his name was Grojo (not sure how to spell i) but he truly deserves recognition for their hard work and professionalism!(:”
“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”
“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.”

“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.”
“Got the sweet and sour chicken, Kung Pao chicken, shrimp lo mein to go. The girl up front was so helpful and nice, and even gave us egg drop soup while we waited. Definitely worth every penny. It was some of the best Chinese food I've had, and the prices are 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.”
“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!”

“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 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. �”
