I am definitely going back to this place when I decide to go to Coachella again. I have been to a lot of Filipino food places. This earned a spot in my top 3 Filipino restaurants. We ordered the tapsilog and lechon kawali. Yum!!!!! The tapsilog was sooo good. I believe they used butter instead of oil, which was pretty brilliant. The tapsilog is like the Filipino version of bulgogi. Meanwhile... The lechon kawali was pretty good too! The meat (and skin) were cooked perfectly. The sauce was great as well. I believe they use Many Tomas for it, I could be wrong. Not sure if they mix it with something else, too. The customer service was superb. I can speak Tagalog, so I initiated a conversation with the workers there. They were really nice! The father and son who were there knew the workers too. That means that they normally have regulars that go to their restaurant. They even offered me extra rice for to go, which was a very kind gesture. The workers and I lived in the same province in the Philippines - Cabalen! Next time, I'll try their Philly Cheese steak. :) Thanks Alkobar Grill! read more

Great Philly cheese steaks! You watch them make your sandwich with at least 2/3 lb of sliced and diced rib eye! A small 8 incher will fill up a man with a hearty appetite. Order a large if 2 of you are eating... it is a little cheaper and you get 2 8 inch sandwiches. I only order Philly's because they are so good. Have not tasted other menu items. Noticed that the line gets long on weekdays at lunch time. They make it up fresh. read more

A bit pricey for the area, small hole in the wall near the courthouse for convenience. Appreciate the open viewing of where they cook the meat so you can watch. Repeat for sure, nice variety of choices from Asian, Mexican, subs, breakfast burritos read more

We got the Bacon and Egg cheese breakfast sandwich, Lechon Kawali, Papsilog, Longsilog, and Bangsilog and everything was delicious. Place is right across the street from fairgrounds. The food is good and service is quick. Everyone in my family loved eating here. Will come again when we're in town read more

We get so tired of eating the same stuff everyday. Well not with Alkobar. You will not get tired of their sandwiches. Start with the basic cheese steak and work yourself up to the Philly Mexicanos. The latter is for those who really are into the hot and spicy stuff. Besides the sandwhiches, they even have steak bowls that are good and comforting too. If you are lazy to cook for the day then drop by and see what I am talking about. Will come back here anytime. =) read more

This place is amazing a hidden gem in this desert of horrible places to eat clean wonderful staff and the food is exceptional I've had almost the whole menu chicken teriyaki plate and chicken cheese melt is the top 2 favs it's worth going in fries are great food is always fresh and hot vegetables are always on point they give you a good amount to have left overs and they love what they do you can always tell I will always eat here read more

This is the best place to get sandwiches in the whole valley. The veggie deluxe sandwich is the BEST, holy moly. Bomb diggity. A lot better than the one in Palm Desert fosho. Fry seasoning on point. read more

Filipino/Mexican combo. We like the fusion here. It is very unhealthy food but when the flavor and taste is great we can never resist. We will recommend this place. We ordered a Philly and fries also lechon kawali with rice and onion rings. We like the taste and texture the meat was flavored well. We will definitely come back here if we are heading down to L.A. read more

The best deli sandwiches around! I love their turkey avacado! Their pepper steak is amazing. This is a great place to eat. For a small shop they have an incredible variety of food --cold deli sandwiches, hot deli sandwiches, great salads and hot dishes. Very fast and courteous service and food made fresh on the spot. Prices are very reasonable as well. read more

This is a gem in the valley. Their philly cheese steak is the best. They serve Filipino food as well. They have a lot to offer. The workers are friendly and they maintain the cleanliness of the place very well. It is a must to try. read more

The food is awesome! I had a sampling of their different Philly Cheese sandwiches during my 3-day golf game in the area. Their Bacon cheese steak wins top prize for me! The meat was flavored well, the bun was perfect and of course the bacon added that mouth-watering goodness to the sandwich! I loved the spicy Chilly Mexicanos for that hot twist to Philly sandwich and their chicken Hawaiian sandwich was equally great! Their food was matched with excellent and friendly customer service, even when it was probably their peak time and customers were lined up. These people, the place, oh did I mention, their food already? IS OUTSTANDING! I will recommend this place to everyone I know that will be headed that way. Thank you Art for the great food and the conversation. You guys ROCK! read more

Went here because there was sisig in the reviews - KAWAWA BEAR ... sadly it is no longer part of their menu. However, we got a few other items, including a cheesesteak (which is HUGE btw, we underestimated the size) and were just as satisfied. Who knew this little gem was tucked away in this mini-mall. Super friendly service - they chatted us up while we waited. Ample parking, and clean restroom. We'll see you again next year! read more

Being from Philadelphia, I was craving the famous Philly Steak Sandwich this past Sunday, and found this wonderful place on Yelp. I was NOT disappointed! The meat was tender, not grisly like a lot of places serve and was seasoned perfectly. My son and I both agreed that THIS sandwich hit the mark. And the staff was friendly as well. The fries were perfectly cooked and were seasoned just right. This restaurant just earned a new regular customer read more

Amazing Philly Cheese. I get the deluxe. The meat is always very very tender and juicy and seasoned just right. They don't over do it on the peppers and onions. Just enough so you know they're there, and there's a generous amount of cheese on top. Seriously the best Philly Cheese I've ever had. There chili cheese fries are SUPER good too. Reminds of what I used to get as a kid at the little league park, but with better tasting fries. To top it all off they serve cold beer by the bottle. Love it!!! read more

Art Alkobar Grill - Philly deluxe. Soooooo amazingly good there should be a warning sign that they most likely will cause addiction lol. - Sandwiches Near Me - Indio, California

The food is really great here. The Philly beef will melt in your mouth. The fries are skinny, crisp and hot. One order is enough for three. The sushi is great, and I am a Sam's regular. Haven't tried the Mexican yet. Service is helpful, friendly and prompt. If you all can't agree on what to eat or whether to go out or carry out, this is the place. So who eats out in Indio? We do. read more

Fantastic philly sandwiches! This is my go to place in the east valley for a philly and fries. This is a real hole in the wall with sticky tables, limited seating, etc. One of those places you can make a habit. Not really a foodie's delight, but you can get bacon on your philly... sign me up! Not in the same league as TKB Deli, but a good greasy spoon. read more

The two workers at alkabar were very friendly and eager to serve us. We didnt know some of the menu items but they used pictures and explained a lot of the food to us and we ended up ordering the tagsilog which is grilled angus beef with rice and two eggs on top of the rice. the food was delicious. not something i had expected at all from this unexpected place in the small town of indio. the beef was cooked perfectly and the two eggs over the rice were runny and cooked deliciously. overall a great place to eat highly recommend! read more

So glad we found this place - We've tried the Philly cheesesteak, turkey & Swiss, tagsilog, and chicken teriyaki. Everything is so delicious and service is quick. We'll definitely come back. read more

Best Deli in this side of the Coachella Valley, with some Asian fusion on the side. Our family always love to swing by for a quick bite, and although I have tried the other food selections, I always go back to their Philly cheesesteak, to die for!!! SO much flavor and perfectly paired this summer with Halo-halo, a dessert made of shaved ice with different kinds of fruit mix topped with milk and ube ice cream, YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS!! just perfect for this scorching heat :) read more

Love this place!! This is the only restaurant I always go to every time I'm in Palm Springs.If you're going to splurge,this is the best place to do it. Employees here are very nice,they greet us as soon as we walk in.The food here is on point and price is very reasonable.My favorite dish here is the tapsilog(Filipino beef tapa) and halo halo.My husband will always order extra of Philly cheesesteak to bring back to Vegas. I just can't wait to go back to this place and try other food on their menu.I wish they open another restaurant here in Vegas. read more

Went there for the Philly sandwitches we read about. Turns out they have a variety of Philipino food also.

Went here THREE times during Coachella Weekend. It was just THAT good! Amazing phillies, AMAZING Filipino food, EXCELLENT customer service! Seriously - I'm from Los Angeles and we don't have a shortage of good Filipino food here, but Alkobar is up there with all the good LA stuff. I recommend the lechon kawali, basilog, tapsilog, and sisig! read more

Pleasantly surprised by this spot. Just the food alone is great. A perfect spot to grab a quick casual bite. While this place seems mostly known for philly cheese steaks, husband and I came for breakfast - being happy to find Filipino food in the desert. Was super authentic and was a good portion. Only sad the rice wasn't garlic fried rice. read more

Been coming here for a while ever since seeing the Yelp reviews for their Philly cheese steak sandwitches. Not only, do they have just sandwiches. They have Asian combos such as teriyaki chicken and beef plates, lechon, sisig, pepper steak and Korean barbecue plates. All served with generous portions. Very friendly staff and quick service. read more

I got the Philly cheesesteak and was surprised by how good it was! Very juicy and packed full of flavor. My boyfriend who just got back from Philly a couple of months ago said it was better than the ones he had there. The atmosphere seems sketchy but don't worry because the food is amazing! read more

Yum! Phill steak and fries are great. The outside area a little on the ghetto side but should not deter you from going inside. Staff busy making food small place but so delicious. I will repeat here a lot. Have taken my family here and all say the same thing. So good. Love it! read more
