I love their tamales, bar none the best in town. And their taquitos are legendary, with guacamole of course. I squawk, if I don't get my guac! Truth is everything at El Indio is off the chart huge! Bon appetite! Gracias....😎😋❤️🔥💯

El Indo is the absolute BEST!! I grew up eating here as a little girl and I'm back visiting my grandpa and we both wanted something from the heart...El Indo read my mind and placed the lettuce/cheese/guac all on the side for such a better eating experience
Just like I remember!
I miss you El Indo, come open up a restaurant in Lake Tahoe!!!

The BEST burritos ever; exactly what is listed is what they put in. The Shredded Chicken Burrito is all chicken and so delicious! Same with the Ham, Egg & Potato Burrito; very generous portions!

Love this place so much. Reminds me of the old school Mexican restaurants I used to frequent when I lived in Phoenix. Their salsas and chips, bomb! Plus they make a delicious enchilada sauce, smokey with the right amount of heat. Their quesadilla burrito, so much cheese and a littlehot sauce, bomb!

the chicken taco in the combo was fantastic. the shell was crunchy and the chicken was moist and plentiful. The miss for me was the cheese enchilada. It's wasn't cooked through and the cheese wasn't melted.
Good quantity of salsa and guacamole.
