After watch Guy Fiats Diners drive in band Dives I was so excited to come here. I drove 2.5 hours and didn’t eat all day. They have a free parking lot and outside seating. There was no wait and the people working were very friendly and helpful. The food was pricey and cold when we got served. The smell of the enchiladas sauce was so bad. The food was totally inedible. The salsa was ok but even the chips were not good. We got a refund and I woke up the next day with the worst case of food poisoning. The bathroom was dirty and smelled and they had flies in the windows flying around see pictures. Ten out of ten 100% do not recommend. Very sad I was so excited to come here.

This place was cool! Nice atmosphere with some good outdoor seating. I enjoyed my pork tamales and the soft drink selection available at this place. Staff were understanding of our being new to the restaurant and helped us all place orders that suited our tastes. Thanks!

Pretty good food, fresh tortillas and super friendly service. Lots of paid metered parking on the street but it’s possible to find free street parking too. Chips and salsa are delicious. Very affordable too.

We moved out of the SoCal and came to San Diego for a visit. We were dying for some quality Mexican food. A friend told us El Indio was the best in San Diego. The food was incredible! You also need to buy a bag of their homemade chips!! Divine. The staff is friendly, ingredients are fresh, and the food came out of the kitchen at the perfect temperature. Hot stuff was hot, cold stuff was cold. We couldn’t eat everything as the portions were huge.

Decided to give this place a second chance and that was a mistake. I was the only one next in line and the cashier decided to go on lunch while the other was chatting it up with a customer who paid awhile ago.
I was being lazy this day and decided not cook but after seeing what I was served, I could make better chilaquiles. In fact, if you google what chilaquiles is suppose to look like – you’ll see the difference.
For $18 (including tax) I expect a somewhat decent meal. Instead, it was just all beans, tortilla chips with sauce. Worse part, it wasn’t even that good.
Save yourself the trouble and just go up the street to another Mexican restaurant, this one is just an Over-glorified tourist spot.

Love the old school decor and paintings. Great seating too. LOVE the taquitos. Freshest masa I’ve ever had. Chile relleno is great too but prefer the taquitos. Tamales are also very good. Chips are great. I like how they give a little on each plate. Love that you can buy some of their products to take home! The salsa bar is amazing too, there’s only a few places I’m aware of that have a true salsa bar which takes the place up a notch.

I feel betrayed by Google. This place has always been terrible, but I thought I would give it another go since it had a 4.5 rating. I got the surf and turf burrito for about $18. There was a puddle of grease in the burrito, I had to spit out about 1/4 of the meat because it was tough gritle and the worst part, the guacamole was from over ripe avocados, sweet and disgusting. You know what I mean if you have ever had bad guacamole before. I don’t understand why there are always people there. There are a LOT of better, cheaper options in San Diego too. So sad.

Is not what expected, I thought because the restaurant name will be authentic Mexican food , machado with eggs is like tinga with egg, and chorizo with huevos not flavor at all

I don’t know how this place has any 1 star reviews. By far without a doubt the best burrito I’ve had in my life. The burritos are made with what tastes like a handmade wrap that doesn’t taste like any wraps I’ve had. I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best burrito I’ve had in my life. This place is a must stop! The taquitos were also perfect too.
If you’re flying into San Diego, this is the first place you should stop at when you arrive.

I had high hopes for this place. After an over night, this where I wanted to go because of the ratings and reviews. Well, seeing and tasting it for myself, I couldn’t get anymore disappointed. My plate looks good, but the asada was tough, it was really dry, the taste is there though. The only thing I really like was my churro it was good, crisp and hot.
