Since 1940, El Indio has been dedicated to serving the finest Mexican food north of the border. We satisfy hungry San Diegans and visitors from all over the world with our traditional recipes and quality Mexican Food at reasonable prices as quickly as possible.

We’re More than Just Tacos and Burritos

We started back in the '40s by hand making tortillas and supplying local restaurants. Since then, we have evolved and incorporated multiple recipes from numerous states and regions in Mexico. We always encompass the traditional method of making our food by hand.

Mouth-Watering Tortillas

Have you ever eaten a hot, fresh, soft corn tortilla straight from the oven? Made Fresh Daily the ancient Aztec way. Arrive by 9:30 and get a warm tortilla straight from the oven drizzled with butter, complimentary.

We Invented the Taquito. Really!!!

Enjoy our Handmade Taquitos made Fresh daily from El Indio’s Corn Tortillas. Taquitos can be filled with your choice of Shredded Beef, Chicken or Potatoes. They are deep fried to a crispy golden goodness and topped with your choice of Cheese, Guacamole, Salsa and Lettuce or all of the above.
