My sister came to visit from Whittier and wanted Mexican food, so I knew I had to take her to a really good authentic place since we were raised with homemade Mexican food our mom made, I heard PV was great and I was thrilled that they had my favorite hard to find Huarache! Yum! They did not disappoint! Our food was delicious and my sisters combo plate was wiped clean! We had great drinks at the bar, which had a nice setup with TV's showing sports and happy faces behind the bar. Great chips and salsa. Service was fantastic! We are coming back!!

Decent Mexican food at a decent price, especially if you catch the happy hour from 2-5pm. Great drink specials and I was impressed with the different mocktail options. I got a $7 Jamaica Cooler and it was pretty magical. They also have virgin Margaritas, Bloody Marys and Piña Coladas. Some of the food can be kinda bland depending on what you order. It is of a certain style, very Tex-Mexi and not a lot of memorable flavors or entrees that I fantasize about coming back for. We got fish tacos, chimichangas, Buffalo Wings, and taquitos. Nothing was bad, but nothing exceptionally good either. It does get the job done though, great service from our waitress and at a price that won't break your wallet. Note: Arrive early. It can get quite busy during the dinner rush. read more

We were visiting Indio from San Diego. Four of us were seated right away. Service was fast, the margaritas were strong and the food was good! It's a little on the pricier side all things considered, but we were all really happy with our meals! It was honestly some of the best mexican food I've ever had - better than some popular spots in SD. Menu had lots of variety - try the sweet corn tamale! read more

Joel is the best!! Food with flavor and the Cadillac margaritas are fabulous where they actually poor tons of Grand Marnier in it!

Eight of us ate at this Pueblo Viejo Grill tonight for dinner . And it was amazing . I have eaten a lot of Mexican food but I don't think we ever had a meal that was quite this good . Every bite of everything was outstanding . I enjoyed the camarón rancheros and my wife enjoyed the carne asada. The salsa was spot on, & the guacamole was incredible . And the best part of all our waiter Joel was charming, enthusiastic, friendly and made the night special for us. We hope to return anytime we pass through Indio again read more

Pueblo Viejo Grill is one of, if not the best, Mexican-style restaurants in the Coachella Valley. Pueblo Viejo Grill is a family-owned and operated restaurant, where consistently very good food and service are the norm. Service was perfect. Our waiter has worked at Pueblo for years and he knows the menu and how to make his customers feel like old friends. My guest had the Chicken Avocado Salad, which features a tossed salad in vinaigrette dressing, topped with a grilled chicken breast, diced tomatoes, olives, tortilla chips, avocado, and cheese. She reported it being excellent. My choice was the Zihuatanejo Fajita Salad. The flour tortilla bowl is perfectly fried to a nice brown crisp and is generously filled with refried beans, lettuce, cheese and your choice of fajita (I went with the steak). The salad is then topped with guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo, and an Italian-style dressing on the side. The steak is amazing, very tender and flavorful. As you get about halfway through this big salad, you can start tearing apart the tortilla bowl and using it to scoop up some of the great goodness. While waiting for our salads, plentiful house-made chips and salsa were kept full at our table, along with our cold iced tea. read more

Outstanding Mexican food. I had the shredded beef enchilada and beef tamale. They were both outstanding! The wife had the steak burrito and loved it! Can't go wrong with this place! The help is great! read more

Gosh! This place. I chase the flavors of their Chicken Avocado salad and nothing comes close. Their fajitas are some of the best, the men in my family chase that flavor where ever they go. It's been over 10 years we have been coming here and it's my favorite place in the desert to eat. Hands down. Just had it a couple of days ago -- it's been a couple years since I have been there -- I was euphoric. Some might say that is exaggerating or over rated. I disagree. I will forever return here for as long as they are here for me. The staff remains constant as does the food. It does get busy and it does get loud but it's worth it. read more

Pueblo Viejo is the best Mexican restaurant in town! My wife and I have dined here many times, both on our own and with friends, and the experience is always outstanding. The food is consistently delicious, the service is friendly, and everyone leaves happy and satisfied. Our favorite is splitting the Trio Fajitas for Two - they arrive sizzling hot, packed with flavor, and are more than enough for both of us. The burritos and taco salads are excellent as well, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. Be sure to try the Tortilla Soup or the Albóndigas Soup. Both are absolutely delicious and among the best we've had. The family-run atmosphere, warm hospitality, and consistently great food keep us coming back again and again. We highly recommend Pueblo Viejo to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine and a fantastic dining experience! read more

We consider ourselves frequent diners here. We are always greeted by Norma who is always present and she usually serves us seated at the bar. The food is absolutely amazing IMO. The pricing is reasonable and the portion size is ample. read more

This place was so good over stagecoach weekend. We went twice in four days. Staff is so welcoming and lovely and attentive. The food was cooked to perfection and so delicious. I wish it wasn't three hours away. We'd be there more often. If you're in the area and want authentic amazingly cooked Mexican food don't miss out on this place. It gets crowded. It's not such a big space so make sure you can give yourself some time to enjoy the experience. read more

Top of the mark for friendly and efficient service. Food was excellent and the house margarita hit the spot.

Food was scrumptious! Margaritas yummy! Fajita meat is bar none the best fajita meat I've ever tasted anywhere in my life! Whether they put it on steak nachos or in a quesadilla it is so delicious seasoned perfectly and tender! I also want to add that Norma was kind enough to accommodate us because I could not sit in a booth due to a surgery and they were very busy as usual but she was so sweet gave us a table which wasn't easy and it really meant a lot! read more

On Saturday, the 18th of 2025, we politely inquired with our tour guide, Ron, about his recommendations for a local Mexican restaurant. Fifteen minutes later, we arrived at Pueblo Viejo Grill. Upon arrival, we observed that the parking lot was nearly full. We expressed our excitement and decided to dine there. Before finding a parking space, I asked my husband to let me out so I could add our names to the waiting list. We experienced a 40-minute wait. The bar area was quite crowded. We were called we, We enjoyed and loved the atmosphere at this Pueblo Viejo Grill It was busy folks chatting away every seat is taken. We still enjoyed the itimate feel. Joel, was awesome. Food I give a 10 delicious the chicken on my plate was very well seasoned. The margaritas were thee best in Indio ! read more

OMG! That's really all you need to know! I was looking for some good tamales. I went on yelp and everybody says this place has tamales and grapefruit in general. Usually take out kind of sucks so I wasn't expecting too much but I ate more this night than I have ever eaten at any meal in my life except for Thanksgiving lol The food is good and the customer service is just as good! Thank you so much. We will most certainly be back.!! read more

Disappointed when the fajita burrito. It was small with 3 pieces of meat. The chips, salsa and guacamole were great.

Best, Best, Best Mexican in the Valley! Bar none, this family operated Mexican restaurant is the very best in the entire Coachella Valley area. All summer long is is filled with Mexican locales which makes my point. Give it a try... read more

Always our best experience in the Desert! I think we have been coming 15 years, referred here by a San Diegan friend who was 100% right - EVERYTHING here is top-drawer. Norma always greets us and is genuine and so friendly it is a "welcome home". We have not owned here since 2012. Perfect refreshing icy margaritas! The chips and salsa are both individually spectacular; fresh and crisp and the cruda onions and tomatoes in the salsa ares so good, depth of flavor. Guac is chubky and rich and delicious. We love the steak fajitas; the super char of the perfectly marinated meat, and the fresh tomatoes, red and green peppers and sweet onions -DONE JUST RIGHT (not steamed and limp) are what we always have. I rememberd one winter having the chile verde, so I ordered it to see if it was as great as I recalled and IT WAS!!! We immediately got a tub to take to our condo. Jim has a birthday tomorrow so though we were full; he had a dessert (email gift) and it was bread pudding. Jim's very favorite dessert and they serve it warm, hot even, buttery, crusty and rich with a delicious scoop of vanilla ice cream topper. Oh so so so good!. Our server was "CHILL" - his name! and he was excellent and attentive. We so love our little hideaway but the world needs to know this experience. We have tiptoed over the asphalt at 118DEGREES to get inside in August....they are always a perfectly cool and refreshing and delicious oasis in the desert. NO trip here is ever going to be without our visit to "Norma's place" The freshest and best food that compels you to return. Jim and Lisa read more

Great Mexican restaurant for happy hour. But get there early because it fills up fast and it's not a very big location. Service was amazing! Our waiter/bartender was super attentive and friendly. Food was really good too and great prices off the happy hour menu! read more

Cute little spot, wait staff were pleasant. Only reason it's 4 instead of 5.... Chips and salsa refills are an extra charge, and we had to mention that we saw it on the menu, they didn't tell us when prompting if we wanted more. OTHERWISE. Holy crap it's some very incredible sass, and rhetorical fajitas were some of the best I've ever had. We were very impressed with all of our meals, and will definitely be back!! read more

Dark like a good desert Mexican restaurant should be. The place is a little narrow so can be tough to walk thru to the back when it's full. They have booths and tables. Margaritas are large in giant goblets and strong (I got the ultimate, in the future I might get a mezcal version), I loved the trio fajitas, incredibly hot and sizzling, with fresh sides. Chips and salsa were very good too, although you do pay for refills. Service was friendly and attentive, felt warm and local. Really pleasant place, can't wait to come back. read more

The atmosphere is Mexican quaint. It's not a large restaurant but big enough for both booth and table sitting (tables can connected for a larger group). The basics of chips and salsa are good. Salsa isn't spicy and has a good flavor (garlic and onion). Started with the chili gueros, they were excellent! I've had them at many of the local restraunts and these were one of the best. We ordered the 3 item combo of two enchiladas (one pollo and one carnie) with a cheese chile relleno. All three were tasty. I really liked their enchiladas brown sauce. The combo sides or rice and beans were so so, the rice was a bit hard. Also since it was Wednesday they had $4 street tacos, had two of the carnitas tacos, the carnitas and the corn tortillas were dry, to long on the pot. Overall good service and tasty food, make sure to get the chile gueros! read more
