Pretty good food, fresh tortillas and super friendly service. Lots of paid metered parking on the street but it’s possible to find free street parking too. Chips and salsa are delicious. Very affordable too.

We moved out of the SoCal and came to San Diego for a visit. We were dying for some quality Mexican food. A friend told us El Indio was the best in San Diego. The food was incredible! You also need to buy a bag of their homemade chips!! Divine. The staff is friendly, ingredients are fresh, and the food came out of the kitchen at the perfect temperature. Hot stuff was hot, cold stuff was cold. We couldn't eat everything as the portions were huge.

It was taco Tuesday , had carne asada , adobada, chicken . The adobada had the most flavor. The asada and the chicken were also good. The Beef Chimichanga plate was very good also , just the right spice and excellent crispy tortilla wrap. 3 different salsa selections . You can pick up crispy chile flavored chips to go . Great spot to enjoy a tasty Mexican Meal .

After watch Guy Fiats Diners drive in band Dives I was so excited to come here. I drove 2.5 hours and didn’t eat all day. They have a free parking lot and outside seating. There was no wait and the people working were very friendly and helpful. The food was pricey and cold when we got served. The smell of the enchiladas sauce was so bad. The food was totally inedible. The salsa was ok but even the chips were not good. We got a refund and I woke up the next day with the worst case of food poisoning. The bathroom was dirty and smelled and they had flies in the windows flying around see pictures. Ten out of ten 100% do not recommend. Very sad I was so excited to come here.

This place was cool! Nice atmosphere with some good outdoor seating. I enjoyed my pork tamales and the soft drink selection available at this place. Staff were understanding of our being new to the restaurant and helped us all place orders that suited our tastes. Thanks!
