Best seafood boil in the desert! I'll keep coming back for more :) Great service by great servers. Great ambience, always busy and welcoming. We always get the mixed bag Kimkey style and mild. It's the perfect amount of heat for me.

First time trying shrimp boil and I chose this spot and it was so good! My brother and I decided to just call it in and eat it at home. Staff were nice over the phone and very professional. Next time I try it I'll definitely eat there for the full experience.

The mix bag special with crawfish, crab legs, and mussels

We ordered a mix bag and added a pound of crawfish, mussels, and snow crab legs and it was so good. We ordered it medium heat, Kimkey style and it was delicious. Definitely the best in the desert. Along with their selection of mariscos? We also ordered Cajun fries and some agua Chiles verdes. Their food was so good. The shrimp in the agua chile did taste a bit frozen but other than that, everything was very good. The servers were also very nice and welcoming. Will be coming back soon. Loved the vibe overall.

Got the pound of shrimp Kimkey style and Cajun fries. Love that we have another seafood boil spot in the desert! The vibe is casual and fun, with music playing and plenty of napkins.

Menu

The operator/owners of Kimkey Seafood Boil started as an at-home operation, before opening a brick-and-mortar large storefront in Indio, CA in 2024. We've been to a lot of Vietnamese/Cajun style seafood boil centric restaurants, and Kimkey has to be near the top. Our party of three was staying overnight in Indio, and this restaurant popped up on Yelp as a place to try. We didn't have reservations on a Friday night, but we were seated within 5 minutes. I had perused the menu on-line, and knew what we were going to share. We started with a Mix Bag ($24.99) which comes with 1 lb of head-on or head-off shrimp, 3 half ears of corn, and 4 red potatoes. To it, was added 1/2 pound of sausage ($6) and 1/2 pound of New Zealand green mussels ($9). As a side, we got a basket of fries ($4), a cup of steamed rice ($3.5), and 2 pieces of Texas Toast ($2 for 2). The items came out as soon as prepared, and small ramekin of salt and pepper along with fresh limes were provided (just like a Vietnamese style seafood boil) The tables were covered in butcher paper, and bibs with disposable gloves were provided if asked. You will be eating with your hands, so gloves are recommended. In fact, there were no utensils or plates except for a plastic spoon that came with the rice. It's a very messy way to eat, but it DOES make the food taste better...sharing the food together while eating with your hands (almost Kamayan-style). The Kimkey style sauce is the way to go (similar to other places sauce where they mix a garlic butter sauce with spicy cajun sauce), with the large amount of crushed garlic being great with the rice. It can be customized in terms of hotness; we went with medium and it was correct...hot would have been too much for us. The shrimp was really great quality, jumbo size and the NZ mussels were on the half shelf (6 shells for 1/2 pound). The sausage was just OK, but still a bargain. The corn was from frozen, but tasted great with the sauce. And I loved how they prepared the potatoes, it was served whole and was medium size...usually this means that the potato is undercooked, but not here....it was great fun smashing the whole potato against the table and even the middle was cooked. And it tasted great mixed with the Kimkey sauce. The fries were battered, and hot from the frier so delicious. My wife and mother-in-law loved their piece of texas toast (thick but on the smaller side). We knew we had to finish all of it...and we did...barely. It is LOUD inside, with customers enjoying themselves and the servers adding to the fun by announcing birthdays to tables across the dining room. Service was excellent...there were at least 6 different servers stopping by to ask if we were doing OK, and they truly meant it...refilling our water. It's clear that the owner/operators have thought about what they would do to make the customer experience so great, and they have implemented it...starting with making sure every server was so customer-centric. The prices here are quite a bit lower than what I am used to, especially on the market price high end seafood. E.g. pound of King crab was $64.99, and Snow crab being $29.99, $14.99 for 6 oz lobster tail. It will fluctate, of course...but the prices are a good 1/3 to 1/2 less than what it would cost in LA K-Town. So with service this great, food this value-priced and tasting so good, it's no wonder this place has such a good rep and large crowds. Definitely highly recommended....just wish I had asked a server what the 'Kimkey' means.

I've had Kimkey seafood boil before she opened up her restaurant so I knew the flavor would definitely be there. The food was amazing finger licking good no complaints there and with reasonable prices as well. The playlist they had was great it was a variety of music but all bangers so I really enjoyed that. It wasn't too packed when we went compared to other times we have driven by and people are outside waiting in line, so that was also a big plus. My only reason as to why I did not give it 5 stars was because our server seemed to be occupied with other tables and did not come over once to ask how everything was and if we needed anything. My husband had to get up and ask if we paid in the front or if we got the check at the table from how long we waited after we were done eating. This was our first time eating at her restaurant so we were confused about the paying situation and we left confused because we had to get up to get to helped. Other than that great food and good atmosphere!

Highly recommended ..... let's try it!

Seafood at the desert? Yes! At $24.99 Shrimp boil in a Spicy delicate delicious sauce, in the he bag mixed with red potatoes & 3 corn on the cob. We added Sausage for an extra $ If you're super hungry the whole bag is worth it for you. I split it and was happily satisfied. They serve imported & domestic bottle beer (my preference) $5.55 for Heineken. They also serve refreshing sodas, & agua frescas. Service is friendly and they answer all your questions with patience & enthusiasm. It's family friendly too! It gets busy faster during evening hours. We went after lunch hours so we didn't wait for a table. I liked their decor perfect for picture taking. Most of all I enjoyed a clean environment and fast efficient service with a friendly smile! *Gracias a Todos Los Que trabajan en la cocina y restaurante*!! Parking is free and available in lot and street!

The good thing about Kimkey is that it's a seafood boil restaurant. The bad thing about Kimkey is that the shrimp were tough.

I placed an order for my kids with Ms. Romelia as we hosted a Thanksgiving gathering and I must…read moresay, the trays of lumpia and pancit bihon was absolutely tasty! We ordered two trays for each dish and we didn't let either of them go to waste! Ms. Romelia cooked and prepared each dish ready to serve, in fact we tossed each tray on chafing dishes and it stayed fresh for hours! The lumpia came with added sauces and the pancit was beautifully presented as it was topped with citrus slices. Tasty lumpia filled with chicken, pancit with pork and sausage bits mixed in along with veggies! It was a hit with our guests and I look forward to having Ms. Romelia bring her kitchen to our future gatherings again! Oh and if you order her cassava cake, you will not be disappointed!!! Love the coconut flavors and texture, a delicious dessert! Highly recommend orders from the official lumpia lady!

Absolutely delicious!…read more I was craving filipino dishes and yelped Moreno Valley as I was visiting my parents. I was excited to try Official Lumpia lady as it came up as #1 recommendation on yelp. She did not disappoint. I ordered lumpia and barbecue sticks. The lumpia was freshly cooked so it was still crispy. My sister and I kept eating the lumpia while we were driving lol. The barbecue sticks were AMAZING! They come uncooked so you'll have to do the grilling yourself. The flavors brought me back to my childhood memories where we used to barbecue outside over a bonfire. The whole family enjoyed it. I will definitely order this again. The ordering process was pretty smooth - you order via IG online and schedule a pickup date. She was on time, friendly and very responsive to all my messages. I absolutely recommend the official lumpia lady.

Wow! What a find while in Indio for a lacrosse tournament. We tried to find Taco 760 but couldn't…read moreand just ran into this small food truck conversion into an outdoor patio, right in an abandoned gas station parking lot. I know, sounds scretchy but it was incredible. We got our dinner to go not realizing that had converted the back of the food truck area into a vibing patio yard. Their menu is in Spanish first, English second and a kind man (other customer) helped this white crew navigate the options. They were quick and efficient (only waited maybe ten minutes for our food). We got a little bit of everything from a chili relleno in a taco and a quesadilla as well as standard street tacos. The meat (Asada - steak; Pastor - pork) was some of the best marinade I've ever had. The best part was what we termed a "fiesta bag" which had tiny bags of guacamole, salsas, limes, cucumbers, cilantro, literally anything you could ever want on a taco. This place was crowded for a Sunday night. Authentic and delicious. Highly recommend.

This place is a permanent taco truck with plenty of outdoor covered seats. Service was amazing!…read moreOrder at the window or sit and order. Food.... 10000/10! I'd recommend the baked potato and the taco macho! It's just a vibe and I'll now be coming back as often as possible. Better quality and more authentic than sit down Mexican restaurants!!!
