El Indio Mexican Food Restaurant

Unique. Sense of community. Three generations of women run the place, and I loved them all! The youngest was on waitstaff and made sure I felt at home. I was able to talk to the abuelita who seems like the “espíritu” of the place. I wouldn’t hesitate to visit there, and eat sumptuously!

A little pricey for what is served, but no complaints on flavor or waitstaff.

Hope they open soon miss the soups?

Love the Food.Staff is friendly and down to earth.Those of you working on your Spanish will be pleasantly surprised.

Good food.... Service ... Not enough workers. Potatoes were not good. Like cooked in old grease. Left them.

menudo is delicious flavor is amazing and good prices over all nice family restaurant

El Indio never disappoints. The food is delicious and the prices are good. The atmosphere is casual and the service has always been great. Two thumbs up!

I rarely give five stars. I reserve five stars for exceptional service, and product, as well as atmosphere. I'll start with the food. The food here is authentic Mexican cuisine at it's finest. I swear they have some ancient secrets that give their food and extra zing. Everytime I leave here I leave with great feelings and great expectations of the next visit. The seasoning choice is spot on and the proportions are ample. The service here is exceptional the servers and wait staff are helpful without hovering. The atmosphere is festive without being intrusive to your thoughts. This is a place for family, or a first date. They have clean everything including the restrooms. The prices are moderate and affordable. They have something tasty for any budget. I do highly recommend this restaurant if your in the area and especially if your not lol.

My 1st time there .great valentines day dinner. Thanks babe..

The poor lady who was trying to cover the restaurant all by herself did the best she could. The service was horrible and it made my guests late for their presentation. We arrived about 9:30 am and the restaurant was already getting full. I ordered a caldo de mariscos. It was good and the only thing I would order in this restaurant. Thus the second star.

Because when you are out of town n visit a restaurant, you expect good food n service they were short handed on staff n food was not good at all.

We stopped here for lunch. Restaurant was very clean and maintained. The staff was prompt and friendly. I had Dos Enchiladas Verde and my husband had ChileVerde De Pork. The food was outstanding and the price was reasonable. Bill was $30 for our meals and drinks. We will come here again the next time we pass through Tucson.

Good food good service highly recommended

If you are looking for authentic Mexican, this is NOT it. They did not have Mexican bottled soft drinks (which is standard now for authentic Mexican restaurants). The chips were hard (too thick) so for you senior folks, don't bust a tooth. Salsa was HOT SAUCE, not salsa. They did not have just plain street tacos or plates. They do sell stand alone tacos (beef) individually and rather on the expensive side ($3+ each) for just a tortilla with beef. I ended up ordering the Steak Guisada plate. Was just OK. I give it 2 stars for meat quality (chewy) and 1 more overall plate. Note: Food can look appetizing with all the colors on white plates, don't let pictures deceive you. My review is based on quality of food, presentation, portion size, taste, texture and value for your money.

We love coming here for authentic Sonoran style Mexican food. The prices are very reasonable and the service is quick and friendly.
