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.
