The Cantina at Eldorado Polo Club offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience right alongside the polo fields in Indio. The menu covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a fully stocked bar means you can settle in with a cold drink while watching horses thunder down the field. Big screens carry your favorite sports when polo is not in season, and the field-side patio puts you closer to the action than almost any other restaurant in the desert.

Dogs are welcome on leash on the property and at the Cantina’s outside seating area. The open, grassy surroundings give your dog plenty to look at, and the relaxed atmosphere means everyone can kick back and enjoy themselves. It’s the kind of place where you can rub shoulders with polo players one moment and throw a ball for your dog the next. The expansive grounds are a welcome change of pace from tighter restaurant patios, and your dog will appreciate the fresh air and open space without feeling crowded.

What makes this spot particularly appealing for a Coachella Valley outing is the combination of live polo action, solid food, and genuine dog-friendliness all in one place. A weekend afternoon here feels less like a typical restaurant visit and more like being part of something happening around you. You’re not just sitting at a table—you’re positioned at the edge of actual sporting events with your dog beside you. The grassy terrain means your dog won’t overheat on concrete, and there’s enough room that leashed dogs can stretch out and settle in comfortably for a couple hours.

The property’s size also means there’s less tension around having dogs present. Staff seems used to handling both the polo crowd and their canine companions. Check the website for current hours of operation and the polo schedule so you can time your visit to catch a match, which is when the place really comes alive.
