“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!!”

“The dining experience begins and ends with the parking valets, and they nearly spoiled the evening. They weren't busy--it was a Monday night--so there's no excuse. They need TRAINING.”

“Unique Bite has some really special dishes! I had a lamb burger with feta and it was shockingly delicious. My family had the pork plate and the mushroom lentil soup; not a crumb was left behind. The staff was extremely friendly, it feels like home right away.”
Barbecue • $
“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.”
Chicken • $
“This was my first visit and I opted for the Cauliflower medium heat on a bun. I actually with I had another one here, NOW!
So fresh, crispy, delicious and perfect 👍🏻🥳”

“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!

Asian • $$
“Excellent Chinese / Asian restaurant with an extensive menu selection and lots of delicious choices. The barbecue ribs were excellent as was the beef satay and bao. Dim sum is an option and every dish that passed our table looked amazing. The staff was cognizant of anyone who had tickets to the showroom. The hard to get reservations were worth the wait.”
Outdoor Dining
Beer Bar
“Came into town from Colorado for a few nights. Was impressed with the rolled up doors and back yard vibes. I came only for drinks and these dudes did NOT disappoint. John wipped up a couple Lucious coffee, creamy vodka drinks. The vibes were light and vibey with house music keeping the heads bobbing. Bar tenders smiling and playing like they aren’t even working. Everything smooth and cool 😎. These guys are going above and beyond and it shows. I plan to always come back here when traveling through the Coachella Valley.”

“We lived here for 9 years,last night was our first time at Neil's dive bar
You can call it what you like
But we have to say if you are close to Indio you should stop in. It is very loud not a exactly a conversation place.”

“I have been a customer of In-N-Out since before 1960, when I started driving. My mom used to take us to the Pasadena site. The quality and excellent taste has been consistent over all these years and hasn't declined like so many others have. I am so glad that they have multiplied to Arizona, so when we drive there, we have a reliable place to stop and eat.”

“We so enjoyed our dinner tonight at Cork and Fork in La Quinta- delicious Vegan options- crispy cauliflower and the Brussels Sprouts starter were delicious- and the wines served on the Happy Hour menu were delightful! We’ll be back!”
“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!!”

“Macarios Bar and Grill new location is bright modern twist to Authentic Mexican food. It’s like going to your favorite Tia’s house and they are always cooking your favorite dishes. Some of my favorites are the Enchiladas Galicia, the Steak and Shrimp Molcajete, and don’t get me started on the size of the Margaritas! Looking for a vibe to watch the game or have a cocktail? Macario’s Grill Cantina has the Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita to help you quench your thirst this summer. Best Mexican food in the Coachella Valley!”

“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.”

“I found this place by accident and am glad I did. The food is very good and the service is good. There's always a good crowd here and the last time I visited, we heard Asians tell the staff how much they liked the food. That's saying something about the authenticity of the meals!”

“Located in Indio. Great place to pull over for some Chinese Food. The lunch specials are great, the soups are my favorite and the service is on point. Does get busy during lunch hours. But it is also the last great Chinese restaurant before heading east to Arizona, or South to El Centro, Mexicali area.”

“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.”

“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!”
Bubble Tea • $
“Their Cucumber Mojito is very refreshing in the summer time. I add the Strawberry and Mango jelly to it. Just keep in mind its seasonal for summer time. Also, they updated their menu with more options and added Vietnamese coffee too! I can't wait to try it out next time!!
Update 8.09.2025
I've tried the Vietnamese Coffee and it was delicious. I personally liked it because it's strong Coffee, next time I'll ask to add a little more condensed milk to fit my taste. Since it strong Coffee, you aren't allowed to get it as light ice.”

“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!”

I bought our clinic team each medium frutas and they loved them. They make them with tons of fruit and you can ask to not get a certain fruit. For me, no jicama ever, that’s the devils fruit lol.”
