El Indio has the best. It is authentic and freshly made. I have eaten Mexican food all of my life. It is the best.
I love this restaurant.I've been coming here since I moved to Tucson ten years ago and they treat me like family. The food is outstanding. They have always been welcoming and warm,when I first met my partner here this is where he took me for the best authentic Mexican food.
We stopped here for lunch. Restaurant was very clean and maintained. The staff was prompt and friendly. I had Dos Enchiladas Verde and my husband had ChileVerde De Pork. The food was outstanding and the price was reasonable. Bill was $30 for our meals and drinks. We will come here again the next time we pass through Tucson.
If I had a teleportation booth, I would be eating lunch at El Indo today. I loved the food, everything I ordered was delicious. I now live in South Carolina and I know of no restaurant of comparable quality within a two hundred mile circle. The chilitepin chili powder they had made everything taste like down home cooking. I grow many chilies at home and I love chilitepin above all. Sorry, I was eating, the El Indo food was Heavenly and I did not once give a thought to my phone. Here's my chilitepin plants, now in the kitchen to survive the winter cold.
Photos: Enjoy El Indo think of delicious chilies and vital food of high quality, 1) a pan of fresh chilitepins, 2) chilitepin plants in big pot 3) a plate of ghost chilies, 4) a young agave, 5) aji Amarillo, 6) the biggest chilitepin Texas I've ever grown.
Everything was absolutely delicious! Waitress was very nice!
Fantastic! Best Mexican food I've had in a long time. Margaritas are so good 🤪
I haven't had bad food here. I haven't liked a dish, not because it wasn't cooked well, it just wasn't a flavor combination I liked. Service can be fast when crowded or not and slow when it's crowded or not. I generally get the daily special because it comes with soup and a dessert. There is always enough food on the plate.
The best fresh authentic mexican food!. And the service is always excellent!
I rarely give five stars. I reserve five stars for exceptional service, and product, as well as atmosphere. I'll start with the food. The food here is authentic Mexican cuisine at it's finest. I swear they have some ancient secrets that give their food and extra zing. Everytime I leave here I leave with great feelings and great expectations of the next visit. The seasoning choice is spot on and the proportions are ample. The service here is exceptional the servers and wait staff are helpful without hovering. The atmosphere is festive without being intrusive to your thoughts. This is a place for family, or a first date. They have clean everything including the restrooms. The prices are moderate and affordable. They have something tasty for any budget. I do highly recommend this restaurant if your in the area and especially if your not lol.
Delicious food and homey atmosphere. The waitresses were very friendly and brought us some chips and salsa right away. All the food was delicious, tasted like something you get from your mom or abuelita. The burritos are huge! Definitely big enough to share/split.
It is a great Mexican food restaurant! Last week, March 2014, while in Tucson with two of my kids, we tried this restaurant. We are from about 1000 miles north, so when I drove up, the bars on the windows had me slightly worried. (Fort Collins is a milder community than south Tucson.) I am glad we went in. The food was great - this is what we were looking for. Very affordable. Clean. Well decorated. I have absolutely no complaints. This is a good place.
One bonus... our waitress was a woman that chatted away in Spanish the whole time. She knew English, but her use of Spanish really added to the experience for us. That was how she communicated with everyone. It really felt south of the border feel.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Sit at table of your choice. Service was good. Waitress was patient and helpful. The food was very good. I had casuela, it was loaded with shredded meat! 2 people filled for about 25 bucks.
