El Indio

Great little out of the way spot on India St. It's really a great spot and they are the creator of the Taquitos ! Come check them out for sure!

The 'hidden' patio a few yards south of the front door is a great afternoon alternative to the always crowded seating inside and the oft-crowded tables across the street.

The surf and turf burrito is a bomb! Literally it's HUGE and fell apart immediately due to tortilla malfunction. Eat with a fork and it tastes soo good, including the broken tortilla .

Anything you try here will be the best Mexican food you've ever had! Taquitos are a must as well !!!

I got the taquitos and my wife got the flautas . Both were delicious, but i would get flautas over taquitos because they are flour tortillas rather than corn . Portions were very generous. A lot of meat

The breakfast burrito (ranchero ) is amazing, the potatoes are perfectly cooked and you can get it on a corn tortilla if you're gluten free

Carne asada burritos , taquitos , chops, crispy beef tacos and their salsa bar ! They also have Mexican drinks (horchata ect) at the soda fountain !!!

Fish tacos , carne asada , burritos , guacamole . Outdoor seating across the street. Affordable prices.

Old school Mexican food , no pretense, just great and affordable grub. Fresh tortillas are insane!

I don’t care what you usually like, get the potato taquitos and a stack of tortillas to bring home.

Tamales are bomb! Also good if you're going on a plane (right near the airport ), so take a few to eat if you get hungry

I have been going here since 1967. After all these years, the food is still excellent. My favorites are the taquitos , mordaditos and a chicken burrito with guacamole .

Love the crunchy chips and the taquitos ! Guy Fieri was there

Been eating here since the late 80's..food here is amazing! Some of the best mexican food in San Diego.

we were looking forward to come here. California burrito was kinda small but still it was delicious :)

Great tamales and you can even get masa by the pound if you call a day before.

Be sure to pick up a bag of chips to take home with you!

She loves the beef enchiladas . I go for a burrito . Chips are the best and top notch beans.

Est. 1940. Claims to have been one of the first restaurants to introduce taquitos .

The machaca burrito is one of the best food items ever, and is good for any time not just breakfast .

Reputation for being on DD&D is overstated. Decent fast food Mexican - quesadillas are awesome but street tacos are bland and overcharge for small side of guac

The shredded beef chimi was awesome...very juicy meat and lots of flavor! Salsa was also very good.

Nice people, very good food. Guacamole fresh. Burrito was awesome.

Taquitos and carne asada are amazing! Plus the bunelo chips for dessert..family has been coming here since the 50s and it's always good!

Burritos are a little too juicy which will cause you to stain your cloths if not careful, also the size is not very big. Nonetheless food quality was good.

Everything! Nice covered patio .

Probably the best fish taco I have ever had

Great food. Loved the chimichangas

You can buy the tamale corn prepared and just roll with your own fillings

Originators of the rolled taquito : small but tasty!

This place is the best! I'm a 4 generation who have loved El Indio. Get the tamales !

Their tamales are so filling!

The Amex special works when u sync ur card to ur foursquare. Then u get a credit on ur card.

They don't take American Express so why do they have the special? BS! @americanexpress I love Amex!

Great pre/post-flight tacos . And free Wi-Fi!

We recommend the Chicken Taco with a side of salsa AND guacamole

14A was excellent. CA burrito was too wet. Leaked everywhere!

Mordiditas !

Don't miss the chips .

Check out the specials. I had a shrimp enchilada meal for $4.90

The taquito plate is numero uno!

They are amazing. I cannot wait to go back and enjoy their chips again!

Great Mexican place to pick up. Love the chips salsa !!!

Tortilla factory and excellent Mexican food . Featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives"

Taco salad is the best!

The burritos are to small for the prices. My husband was lookingforward to coming and left very unhappy. That side, the staff is nice!
