“El Indio is…INTENSE. The restaurant is long and narrow, with only one aisle, creating a freeway of activity in the center. All staff wear earpieces, taking instructions and hurrying around at a frenzied pace. Guests in this aisle instinctively pick up their pace to match. This is NOT a Mexican restaurant where you feel at leisure nor will you experience a laid back discussion with the staff. However, it is interesting to watch the military style activity. The food has been delicious during all my visits. The pork chops can be a bit overcooked, but many prefer it that way. The menu is extensive and the prices are great.“

“Do not get the regular margarita! Order the top shelf. It was the absolute worst margarita I have ever had. They replaced it with the top shelf which wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but was way better (especially after adding the lime). Granted, I am a bit picky about my tequila. The food was pretty good, but we didn’t get our queso until after we got our food, it was worth the wait though. Our server was very friendly, and other than the delay of the queso, was very good. It reminded me of a cantina in Cozumel.“

Authentically perfect food that is not only fantastic but also huge portions that give us leftovers! Best Mexican restaurant, hands down, in the entire area. If I could give a ten star rating on a five star rating, I would. Thank you Zandunga, you are great each and every time we have been there!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

Pollo

“This is one of my very favorite Mexican places in all of the city. It’s very unassuming and in a car lot. Plan on takeout as there is not much seating there. It’s a permanent food trailer. It’s really easy to drive by and not notice it.

They serve really good food and are very kind. It’s usually some combination of a mom, grandmother, and daughter working. They have my favorite burrito and one of my favorite tacos in town. Food is very fresh.

It checks all the boxes for authentic and delicious Mexican food. Be adventurous and give them a try.“
