26 Best Mexican Restaurants in Indio

“This place is so good......“

“Great food and friendly service.“

“My partner and I ordered 12 tacos and overall enjoyed the experience. The meat tasted fresh and was topped simply with cilantro and onions, the way authentic street tacos should be. My partner especially enjoyed the tacos, and while I thought they were good overall, I found some of the meats a little underseasoned for my taste.

The chicken taco had a fair amount of gristle that hadn’t been trimmed properly, but the sausage, pork, and steak tacos were all enjoyable. As others have mentioned, the salsa was very watery and had an unusual sweetness that wasn’t really to our liking, although the verde sauce was quite good.

The service was excellent—friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The atmosphere is that of a small traditional taco shop and felt authentic, although it doesn’t have much character or ambiance.

Overall, the tacos were fresh and the service was great. Prices were reasonable, although the tacos were a bit on the smaller side. We were a just bit surprised that all of the sauces and chips were charged as extras but maybe thats normal in this area. We did appreciate the lemon wedges and radishes though.“

“Birria tacos, quesadilla, deconstructed Tamales, great condiments! Not only is the birria delicious, but the owners are awesome. We come from Seattle for sun and family and always eat here. Don’t miss it!“

“We just had a fantastic dinner at El Mexicali Cafe II. We went at about 530pm on a Saturday. It was busy but we only waited for a few minutes for a table for 3. All 3 of us ordered a dish and just split everything which was perfect! Margaritas were great and food was absolutely fantastic. Our server Edwin was very attentive and knowledgeable and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of us. The sauce they use on the fajitas is just to die for. We will be back and will recommend to family and friends.“

“It's a very nice Mexican restaurant. My waiter was great and the food came out fast. I only have one complaint. I'm from the Midwest, Kansas and our Mexican food is served with ground beef, not shredded meat unless you order fajitas. I guess it's a California thing to use shredded meat instead of ground beef. Next time I google a Mexican food restaurant, I'll check out the menu first to see if they use ground beef!!“

“This restaurant has been around for 60 years. I have been a regular guest for 5 years. The staff is very professional and friendly! If you want a pleasant experience, I will look for you there! The menu is full of great dishes and if you like Margaritas, the ladies will set you up nicely! Located in Old Indio, they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner! They have outdoor seating and any restaurant around this long means they are very good!!“

“We were looking for a sweet treat, did a quick search, and ended up here—and we’re so glad we did. The menu is simple and focused entirely on raspados, and they truly specialize in them. The flavors were delicious, and the texture of the ice was perfect—every bite was packed with flavor.

The owners were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient, which made the experience even better. If you’re in the area and craving something refreshing, this spot is definitely worth a visit.“

“The best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Tostadas de camarón y pulpo mmm ni hablar. Highly recommend.“

“I have gone to the restaurant and to the stand and I recommend both places. They're friendly and attentive; the restaurant is clean and the staff is welcoming. I've tried their Al Pastor tacos, carne asada and suadero and its a really good flavor. In my opinion their Al Pastor is very authentic; it reminds me of my childhood in Mexico.“

“so amazing! we are obsessed, the consume was a very pleasant surprise. I want to try all the things now ♡“

“I really enjoyed the quesadilla. Initially in dropped in just to explore the menu, but the aroma was amazing and I ended up ordering food. They really have attention to detail with their signature offerings. I see myself dropping in more often. Especially great for those using the 4th & 9th subway station.“

“The owner and staff is always attentive to the customers needs. We have been visiting this place for a minute now since they served tacos in a backyard in coachella. Its always a fun experience and the food is always delicious.What some people don't understand is that these are original tacos grilled on a charcoal grill thats what makes them authentic and makes them different from the rest. The charcoal is part of the flavor profile that sets them apart.My team and I completely recommend this place food is delicious and the owner amd crew are a cool bunch which makes this place one of our favorites!!“

“Absolutley Yeahhhhh. Great breakfast. Friendly people“
