“Food is SO good“

“very good food and staff“

“Classic south city atmosphere. The chicken in the enchiladas was a little dry and the margaritas tasted fake. But I loved the rice and the chips. Bummer their website promotes a Taco Tuesday special but they did not have any taco specials on the Tuesday that we visited.“

“Authentic tacos made fresh.“

“Food was very good and hot. Service was also good. Awesome atmosphere. FYI they serve food until 12am on Friday and Saturday.“

“The *best* neighborhood Mexican restaurant in St. Louis. Amazing cuisine, fast and friendly service, great value and the best margaritas in Rock Hill! My husband and I have been going to El Indio since the doors opened nearly 15 years ago and watched it grow into the successful restaurant it is today. It’s no wonder why it is such a gem in Rock Hill! Make El Indio your next night out. Order a pitcher of margaritas on the rocks, share among friends & family and discover what the rest of us already know and love!“

“The food and service was very good. The interior atmosphere was nice but, the air conditioning didn't work ? and also, the exterior entrance areas off each corner of the block had people hanging out with alcohol, smoking and offensive language. I've been there in the past with a wonderful experience and don't think I'll be returning because of the surroundings.“

“Only complaint is that they don't give you extra chips with the Fiesta Dip, just the ones they brought to the table with salsa when seated.“

“Let me just preface this by saying I moved here from South Texas and have spent more than my fair share of time in Old Mexico. In years of searching for REAL Mexican food in St Louis, I’ve had many disappointments. This place was absolutely fantastic and pure pleasure for an old Texan. It even made me shhh my wife because I wasn’t willing to remove my focus from the delicacy I was partaking in. Can’t recommend this place enough and haven’t been able to stop telling others about it. I’ll be a permanent fixture there for sure.“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“Love this restaurant! Great food, great service, and definitely worth the 30 minute drive.“

“Amazing food and service. Our favorite place“

“First time here. Delicious food and drinks! Fantastic staff! My new favorite restaurant.“

“Awesome food and service!!“

“Best Mexican joint in St. Louis (and I know - I’m from El Paso)! Highly recommend the Diablo chicken (if you are lucky enough to get it).“

“I was blown away! Not only are they open on Sundays, they have the tastiest, freshest chips and salsa I've ever tried. Enjoyed my shrimp chimichanga, as well as the rice and beans. Everything was wonderful. I'm recommending them to everybody.“

“Very friendly service. I live their guacamole and sopes.“

“First time here & hands down the best Mexican food I’ve ever had! Super affordable & very friendly owners!!“

“Fast friendly people and the food is good“

“I really like this whole experience and eat here often. The food is simple high quality ingredients, so it's filling, tasty and doesn't leave me feeling sick after eating it. The service is always fast, friendly and consistent. I order take out and pick up and I'm never let down. The staff is always friendly and quick witted.“

“The BEST Mexican restaurant I have been to in the St. Louis area! The atmosphere is very cozy, unique and kinda Hip! The service is outstanding and the bartender we had, Wolfgang, was very personable, outgoing and got to know our names!! Who does that!?!? We got a table for eight within 15 minutes of having a drink at the bar! We will be back.“

“This place was amazing. They immediately sat our last minute party of twelve, the food was impeccable, and the service even better. Definitely recommend.“

“Stopped in for some chips and salsa and flautas to go. Great batch of salsa and everything (including the chips) was fresh and great.
Easy in and out.

Parking: Parking lot is congested and kind of rough but I'd never hold that against Chevys 😀“

“Great staff, outdoor dining, good prices and excellent food.“

“Dinner out in the patio was absolutely wonderful. Service was great and the food was delicious.“

“The "smothered" pork chop torta that I ordered was tender and delicious! There was so much flavor and just the right amount of smokiness in the meat, and it was cooked as pork should be. From a somewhat unassuming (some would call it weird) exterior came a very satisfying lunch! Of course, don't miss the opportunity to wash it all down with an ice cold Jarrito or margarita!

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant and attached mercado are at street level, and the market has a ramp.“

“I give the store 4 stars, it's a good place but they should be more careful with the food they sell. I bought 2 pounds of sweetbreads and it turns out that they mix them with hard gizzards. I find it unpleasant that they do that and you don't enjoy what you buy.“

“The food here is absolutely incredible. The green chile pork is amazing. Meat it's fall apart tender and the flavor is full and robust. We also had the steak milenesa. It had a great crust and fork tender with great flavor. NOTHING was bad. Service matches the flavor. Food came fast, and the waitress made our dinner a great experience.

You can't go wrong here!“

“Ice cream is great, try the raspberry cheese swirl“

“Great Mexican food! Everything was delicious and service was great too!“

“Greatly enjoyed my freshly prepared lunch. I will definitely return to try other dishes.“

“My family and I have been going here for 5 years. My absolute favorite restaurant by far. Great food, & great staff.“

“Authentic Mexican food great flavor and unique menu items!!!“
