El Indio translates in Spanish to “The Indian”.. All the food in both locations is made fresh on a daily basis. No canned or frozen guacamole is ever used. Everything is made from scratch. All salsas are made fresh everyday. No canned chicken or beef is ever used. Meats are cooked everyday and the taquitos are also rolled daily. This is why our food doesn’t taste like fast food, because it’s not. It is just served in a fast-food setting.
Our customers enjoy the quality of our experience because we are not the typical food establishment.
We offer a true taste of Mexico, but also a variety of Tex-Mex flavors to satisfy your palate.
