Found this restaurant last minute. Their slogan is "best Philly cheesesteak in Palm Springs", but we noticed that they also offered Filipino food! I assumed the restaurant was probably owned by Filipinos... and I was right! We didn't get to try their vast selection of Philly Sammie's, but we did try their rice dishes! The best tasting was the lechon kawali! Yumm can't go wrong with crunchy fried pork. They also have silogs and sisig. The only thing about it was that it could use some updating inside. Besides that, great spot to satisfy your Filipino food cravings in the area! read more

Got the chicken philly and added lettuce and tomato. Lots of nice chunks of chicken and plenty of melty cheese. It was a satisfying sandwich, and the service was fast and friendly. My only complaint is the lack of pickled sweet and hot peppers on it. Other than that, a solid choice. read more

Food and service are always outstanding! Even my kids love it here! They request it at least once a week! My favorite is the chicken garden salad, and their Phyllis's are amazing! Such a family friendly place and the people are so welcoming. read more

Art Alkobar Grill - Their whole menu is delicious! - Sandwiches Near Me - Indio, California

Delicious! I recommend the Mexican Philly cheesesteak very generous portion. The place looked very clean, and the gentlemen that assisted me were very kind and the service was fast but it seemed to be made to order nonetheless. read more

A little hole in the wall that serves up delicious meals. They have a window where you can order and watch your food get made. The dishes are all made to order not where they have it made already and serve it to you which is awesome. Their chicken teriyaki was soft and juicy, needed a little more teriyaki flavoring though but that didn't stop me from finishing my whole plate. The bf had the veggie deluxe sandwich and he really enjoyed it. It was kind of greasy and messy to eat but nonetheless it made an appetizing meal for him. We got the combo for it and the fries were nice and crispy. Don't really expect service, it's literally order and go or sit and eat which is super convenient. Will definitely be back and order more. It looks like maybe their takeout orders have more food than dine in orders but we shall see about that. Can't wait to try other dishes from here as well as the Philly cheesesteak everyones raving about. read more

Great tasting food, good service, friendly staff. Love their bangsilog and fish and chips. I'll cone back again to try their famous phyli cheesesteak sandwich and their tapsilog. Higly recommended. read more

we only tried the filipino food but it was real solid. everybody seems to really like their philly cheesesteaks and i don't doubt that they're good, but longsilog is super great and high quality -- you just don't get very much of it for how much you spend the tapsilog was also good, if not a little salty and not as high quality as the longanisa -- however my wife (who is filipino) says people don't usually use the highest quality beef for that dish anyway, so who am i to say otherwise rice, meat, egg = wonderful if you got a little more longanisa for the price, and i lived here, i would probably eat this stuff every single day thank you for the great meal! i'm sure we'll be back soon read more

Oh man.... talk about a hole in the wall and hidden gem! It is in a pretty run down building with carving all over bathroom mirrors, tagging, etc. but don't let this detour you! It truly is the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had. They perfect it with the ideal philly bread, meat cooked to perfection, super delicious sauce, and some fresh condiments. If it wasn't so bad for you, I'd eat it every day lol. read more

Went on a Wednesday night. Place had one group of customers. Took 12 minutes for my food to be ready. Place is very small (super narrow); looks like they tried placing as many tables in such a narrow hallway (5 tables). Environment looks like a 40-year old restaurant; 'dirty' always comes to my mind. In terms of the food, I ordered the Three Cheese Philly Cheesesteak; it comes with their special sauce, which tasted like mayo to me, which I hate. I wish the bread was grilled more. Steak tasted eh. I would not buy the Cheesesteak again, especially for the price ($17 for combo that comes with fries and drink). However, I still would like to come back here again. read more

Chicken teriyaki plate: taste is OK, but good portion of veggies, rice, and chicken. It was missing that Japanese bbq sauce flavor... charred, sweet, savory.... I tasted sweetened soy sauce marinade. Korean bbq plate: rice/thin slices of cucumber and tomatoes... again, good portion of rice and beef. Would have been nice if the slices of cucus and tommies were thicker. Good compliment to the "Korean bbq." The beef was tender, however the taste kinda reminded me of " beef tapa." If fried egg was added, it would have been an amazing Filipino breakfast! I like the place cause it's fast and you can watch the cook grill your order. Next, imma try the cheese steak sandwiches. They look yummazing! read more

Alkobar always hits the spot. If you haven't ate here you're missing out. If you do eat here you have to try the three cheese bacon steak sandwich. It's delicious especially with the hot sauce. Check them out read more

Best philly cheese steak this desert has ever experienced!!! Add some jalapeños for a little extra kick! By far my favorite philly ive ever had. Super nice people working here too! read more

Food is pretty good...not salty and it was tasty. Ordered a couple filipino breakfast combos - Tapsilog (marinated beef, rice and eggs) and Bangsilog (fried milkfish, rice and eggs) and the Philly cheesesteak. prices are very reasonable. I appreciated the helpfulness of the cashier when he shared that the large order of the philly was actually 2 sandwiches and a small was 1 sandwich. Not very many restaurants are honest like that and don't care about their customers. For that, I'm giving them 5 stars for the food and customer experience. Thanks to the team for all you do! Can't be easy working on a holiday. We appreciate you! read more

I would rate the food 5 stars but the lady worker was so, so, so (100X) rude, so I'm giving it only one star... What was wrong with you!!!! Ok, if you didn't get laid, don't take it on your costumers because it is not our fault..it must be you because of your attitude! If you're not the owner of this place, you should be replaced immediately!!! I definitely will not go back (unfortunately) but dang, the lechon kawali was sooo good!! Oh well, I'm sure I'll find other restaurants when we go back to Indio! read more

This place is GAS! They serve you quick and give you massive portions. It's a must visit and the place is nice inside read more

Totally satisfied and love the variety of food and customers! I'm visiting Indio from Los Angeles and stopped by to see what the hype is about. Chili cheese fries is what I was feeling and was satisfied. The orders I've seen picked up is their specialties- grilled teriyaki, Hawaiian plates and burritos. I'll be sure to try next time. The restaurant itself is very clean and spacious with great air circulation and the staff is friendly! Highly recommend! read more

I've said it before I'll say it again, if you're NOT a fan of pineapple if you're NOT a fan of pineapple in your food if you're NOT a fan of pineapple in your sandwiches if you're NOT a fan of pineapple covered with melted cheese and neighbored by chopped chicken, well, Art Alkobar's chicken Hawaiian deluxe WILL change that, it will change you. It will be a new addiction and every time you go here you'll struggle between getting that and tying something new because when something works it just works. Also, it is worth mentioning that the workers here are super kind and caring, which is much appreciated these days. So go stress eat your election/post election anxiety away with this and you'll forget about how polarized and nonsensical this place has become. But in all serious this place is straight up feel good food producing! read more

My husband is a regular here and finally brought me in to try this place. I wasn't sure how I would like it or if they offered Vegan dishes. Well to my surprise they did!! :) Great little place tucked away but popular by word of mouth!! Everything is made right in front of you out in the open so no surprises! Everything is made accustomed to their cooking so the taste is AUTHENTIC so if you want to taste the same old stuff, stick to your cooking :) Everything you need to have a Great breakfast, lunch or dinner is right inside.

Bangsilog: Fried fish eggs and rice Longsilog: Its like El Salvadorian sausage but sweet and tasty, eggs and rice Tapsilog: beef eggs and rice Halo Halo is como raspados but with lots of different kind of jellos and bobas with coconut and purple yam. I also love their Phillies. Dont expect Filipino authenticity etc. This is a fusion of American and Filipino. Go to Filipino restaurant instead if you want the feels. Great eats overall. read more

Best food and service! Super fast for lunch to go and very easy to order! Really appreciate their food and service!

Best Philly in town! Yum The staff is always kind and courteous, and the food always hits the spot! Thank you Alkobar Indio

Possibly the worst food over ever been served. Surly cashier. Inflated prices. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. They prey on the high school students. read more

I don't know about BEST Philly cheesesteak but their Philly is definitively pretty damn good. I really appreciate that they don't warm the bread rolls on the oiled grill. I know it makes it more crunchy and flavorful yada yada. I personally don't think it's that necessary of a step. Sure the toasted rolls in the oven doesn't get as crispy, but then my hands don't look like I just wrestle with the Butter Man. I think the steak can be seasoned more intensely, however. They're a bit under seasoned I think. Next time, I will have to order the cheesesteak with more cheese (they also have a three-cheese item on the menu). I think it should make it divine. I also ordered the Basilog (fried milkfish, fried eggs, and supposedly fried rice as well but they only serve it with white rice here). I don't know why I expected the fish to be different than what it is: fried fish. Of course deep fried fish isn't going to be tender and soft... we are not talking grilled mackerel or any fatty fish here. So although I didn't particularly like this item, it's not the restaurant's fault. I think I just need better expectation. Also, no where in town can you get a fish meal for 7 bucks. So I guess this is a really good deal for those days that for whatever reason, religiously or not, that you can't have meat. Will definitely keep this option in mind for the future. read more

Philly cheesesteaks and Filipino food in one joint? Not the kind of combo I would typically expect.. I guess Philly & Filipino sound similar to each other. The bf and I went for the Filipino food so no review of the cheesesteaks here. Lechon - wayyyyy too fatty for our taste Tapsilog - seasoned well but too oily for my liking. The two fried eggs were definitely a plus for me. The slices cucumbers and tomatoes helped balanced the sweetness and saltiness of the meat. You'll definitely get a great deal with the amount of food you receive, but I'm a girl of quality over quantity. I won't be making my way to come back here again. read more

It's good for local. If I had the option and it was close to work I'd opt for the Alkobar in Palm Desert. Larger menu, larger portions. But since I work in Indio this is the best option for Phillies. read more

Food tastes so amazing! It reminds me of food back home. I always come here for my lunches because I know it's gonna be a fresh hot meal and they're fast. read more

We have wanted to try this place for a very long time. We ordered the hamburger, Philly cheese steak and a side order of lumpia. The burger and Philly cheese steak were over cooked, under seasoned and just overall nasty. The lumpia had zero flavor to it. We were so disappointed especially after seeing 4.5 stars. We hate leaving bad reviews for local businesses, but this experience was too disappointing not to. read more

BEST PLACE EVER TO EAT!!! AMAZING KITCHEN CREW... thank you to the kuyas who's always cooking A1 meals.

This is definitely as good as it gets here in the entire coachella valley! I love this Alkobar in Indio! They're super friendly, have more variety of Filipino dishes, n its consistently the bomb noms! My "go-to" is lechon kawali. I don't always have an opportunity to get out that way...but that's what I order when I do. Funny because I my order is so predictable, the dude will see me and know the lechon is mine! haha. I had seen the guy eating fried fish and I'm like, "you have that here???" he told me no, but if i wanted something like this, just call ahead and if he has time, he'll make it! I think one of these days i'm gonna hit um for some pinakbet. Lumpia's yum, longonisa is yum..haven't tried the bangus. The halo-halo is good, though I really wish it was ube jam and not ube ice cream. guess i'm just used to the shaved ice ol' school way. This is my go to place for Filipino food in the valley. Hands down. If you're pinoy/pinay and missin that home cooked meal, this is the place to get it. :) read more
