Tucked between the I-5 and Mission Hills is a strip of bars and restaurants that locals rely on for fast, affordable and nutritious meals. From noon to night, families and friends can be found waiting for their orders in line outside El Indio, or seated in the spacious dining room waiting for their number to be called. The menu, a cluttered array of familiar options penned on a board above the long counter, offers so much that it's hard to choose a dish. Enchiladas, burritos and chimichangas are huge and surrounded by beans and rice. There's an excellent array of vegetarian options, and everything, including the chile relleno and machaca, is prepared traditionally. The friendly staff, affordable food and great hours makes El Indio a great option for good, cheap food. And not only can you eat in or take out, you can also browse the selection of house-made tortillas and chips on sale in the deli section.

    Overpriced, overated Portions are small, and the taste is not all it's perked up to be.

    Although I now live in North Idaho, I always make it a point to have at least one meal at El Indio. Their taquitos are wonderful as is everything else they offer. I wish there were a franchise here.

    This is the most over-rated place I have ever seen or heard of in my life. For 19 years I worked nearby and although I went there quite a few times, I literally quit going altogether several years ago. San Diego Mexican food does leave a lot to be desired (and San Diegans do not know that) but this is truly the worst slop other than Valentinos I ever tasted in my life!! If you want good Mexican food, go to Texas.

    I do not believe the food is as good as it used to be. Seems like the place is overrated these days.
