Dino Restaurant — Restaurant in Indio

Just came here on June 14th 2025 and it is still SOME OF THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD!! NO FREAKING JOKE!! 😎 Me and my wife are staying at the Best Western down the street and we needed some food. We drove in from San Diego so we were hungry. I googled Mexican food in this place popped up. I saw the reviews and I was like I got to give this place a try. We pull up and it is connected to a gas station You would not think that this place would have some of the best Mexican food ever but it does. Do not be afraid to walk into this place, Yes from the outside it looks like a hole in a wall and it kind of is however when you walk in the place is nice, very clean, and you are greeted by a smiling face. We sat down at a booth my wife had the shrimp ceviche tostada and you could basically make three tostadas from one order of ceviche that's how big it was. I tasted her ceviche and oh my god it was so amazing and a flavorful. We both loved it. I ordered a burrito called El Perro... This burrito is one of the best burritos I've ever tasted in my life. It had a chile relleno in it, with grilled cheese and carne asada. Now this was not any ordinary carne asada It tasted like it came off a grill not a flat top. The Carne asada had a subtle smokey flavor and was very tasty. Some of the best carne asada I've tasted. The food was so good that the next day which is today Sunday We came for breakfast! My wife had the green chilaquiles with carne asada and I had the huevos rancheros both of these dishes were so delicious. And the beans I love freaking beans these beans were so so so good.. You can tell everything is made in house.. I asked our waitress when they opened and she said about a year ago. This place is legit. If you want some of the best Mexican food come down to this place. We will definitely be...

I’ll start this review by saying that the food was delicious. Both the carne asada fries and their tacos are 🔥! So is the choco flan.

However, upon entry, the service staff was rude and started to interrogate me about why I ordered something that was advertised in the delivery app. Specifically the wings. Additionally, I heard the cook in the back and another service staff speaking badly about us in Spanish as if we were the uninformed ones. After proving that what I was saying was true, nobody apologize nor offered anything in return.

They did take a photo of the discrepancy, and said they were gonna bring it up to the owner, but their attitudes could use some work.

Overall, I will try the food again, but if the service staff were any more harassing in nature, I would never recommend anyone come visit this establishment .

Regardless, make it a great day or not, that choice is...
