“Excellent food and everything is delicious! Prices are good and portions are large. I highly recommend Sloan’s.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful dinner! And then they brought us a dessert and card for our anniversary. We highly recommend this restaurant.”
“FANTASTIC!! We drove an hour and half to have dinner for our anniversary and it was definitely worth the drive. Food was delicious, but the French onion soup was exceptional, it was one of the best I've ever had. And for dessert, please have the PHYLLO WRAPPED BANANA BLISS, you're welcome! Not only was food delicious, the service was exceptional!”

“Are you kidding me? What are you waiting for! Absolutely phenomenal service from Ande, Santos, Van and Nate. Everything exceeded our expectations. Without a doubt, this is the best dining experience we have encountered in the Coachella Valley.”
“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!”

“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.”

“Excelente atención y servicio la calidad insuperable muy buen sabor y la coctelera deliciosa”
“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.”
“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.”
“It would be wonderful if they could get rid of all the flies. Food was good, service was good but those annoying flies, yikes🪰🪰.”

“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!”
“$30–40
Absolutely wonderful experience at Joy Asian Cuisine! From the delicious food to the warm and welcoming atmosphere, everything was fantastic. The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, with great attention to detail. The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.
A special shoutout to the scallion pancakes and wok-fried rice—both are absolute must-tries! The wok-fried rice is especially delicious with shrimp, and I would highly recommend ordering it that way!
It’s always a pleasure finding a restaurant that delivers on both food and hospitality. Such a lovely dining experience, and definitely a place worth coming back to. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing Asian cuisine!”
“Being in the restaurant business for over 40 years and growing up in Beverly Hills, eating at Mr. Chow’s and Xian, which I thought were the best Chinese until I discovered this restaurant. The food is the highest quality and so flavorful. The service is exceptional. I will only eat in a clean restaurant and this will surprise you. The decor is so authentic and nice. The funnest part is the short front door. You may have to duct to get in and the surprise is on the other side.”
“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!!”

“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! 😁”

“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.”
“I have gotten Boba here a few times, but this was the first time I actually went inside. Staff was friendly and patient since my wife let me try to pick something on my own... The interior is bright and modern and they do have a large selection of beverages as well as random knick knacks everywhere. My wife ordered the Brown Sugar (her favorite) and I tried the Hokkaido for the first time. Their containers are interesting, but functional and I must say the beverage was a perfect sweet treat while running around town that day.

“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!”
“Wonderful ambience and service- and fresh, fresh, fresh sushi!! Erin and staff were excellent! Can’t wait to go back- highly recommend!!”
“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. ✌️❤️”

“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!”
“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 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.”
“This ice cream parlor is so cute! Looks like a 70's diner and the interior colors are so pretty. I got a vanilla with peanuts and they added whipped cream and a cherry to my order. It tastes so good! A super sweet delight in the hot weather. I will be coming back tomorrow! Lol prices r also good”
“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!”
“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'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.😁”

“We stopped in for a quick sit down meal on a road trip to Joshua Tree National Park. Kind of a cross between fast food and a dive diner, but excellent burgers and fresh, hot fries were served quickly by a very friendly staff. Very reasonable prices, as well.”
“Wow it’s very rare when I sit at the bar but this time I had the best bartender/server (Kenneth) he was very polite n happy always with a smile, checking if I was ok n if I need another beer or anything he also suggested to try some other drinks.
Overall I’ll look forward to be looking for this guy Kenneth.”

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.”
“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.”

“We really enjoyed Tacos Habibi! The service was excellent. The young lady who helped us was so sweet, friendly, and helpful. Our food was made fresh to order, came out pretty quickly, and everything we tried was really good.
They have a nice-sized menu with different specials throughout the week, and the prices are very reasonable. There are already several other things on the menu we want to try, so we will definitely be going back. Great food and great service—we're glad we gave this place a try!”
“I ordered my favorite drink, the Dulce de Leche, and it was perfect as always! 🥰☕️
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.”
