My experience was amazing! I used to eat here with my late aunt and came back in honor of my late friend. A-lot has changed and for the better! The prices are more affordable than the other place in my town. I received my order of 2 steak fajitas and one large horchata. The food was cooked well and delicious! Not bland or salty. The horchata just right ?Thank You! Emanuel for helping me with the menu and customer service was fast well as the staff. I’ll come back again in the near future ?
I went to El Indio Sunday night, and had a pleasant experience per usual. I have been to El Indio several times as I live about 2 minutes away from the establishment. I've never had a bad experience here.The food is reasonably priced and portions are great. I have tried several of their menu items including all the tacos (hard and soft), fajitas platter, taco salad, chicken bowl, carne asada bowl, and more and have never been disappointed. The presentation is nothing short of immaculate. The food is always served hot and delicious. The service is quick, I've never waited more than 15 minutes for my food even on their busiest nights. The cashiers are always super nice and attentive. The restaurant only offers outside seating and despite it being busy, there are always enough seats and the tables always look clean. I believe in the past they had signs up asking people to please wear their masks but have recently taken it down considering the new mandates and the fact that its seating is in open air. If I could rate this place 6 stars I would.
I am OBSESSED with El Indio. I love the ease of drive-through Mexican food, and the food itself is absolutely DELICIOUS. My friends and I go here every time we need a pick-me-up after a bad day (or to celebrate a good day). 10/10 recommend.
I’ve lived here since the 70’s and have enjoyed quite a few of the local menus over the years. I’m sad to say when I went to grab some dinner last night, my disappointment was high in the food we ordered and the service we received.The drive thru line took over 25 minutes even though there weren’t that many people ordering. A car behind us even pulled out of line and left. After we ordered, the car in front of us waited on their order at least 15 minutes at the window. When we finally pulled up they tried to give us someone else’s order after they asked for a tip on the card reader. When we got our food (40.00 worth…?) I can honestly say it was bland, lukewarm, unremarkable and NOT worth the money we paid. I treat myself occasionally (due to finances) to a meal out but this was not the treat I hoped for…. so money wasted for this month.I lived in New Mexico for two years as a travel nurse and the food there was super cheap and super good….the way you guys use to be.I’m so sorry to see local restaurants that have been declining in the quality and quantity of food for students and working folks alike.Don’t think I’ll be back and don’t know if I’d recommend my co workers and friends anymore. :-(B
Have been eating here for 5 decades. Love this place. Food is fresh and made right in front of you. Prices are more than reasonable. Awesome on every level.
After eating here for over 15 years, our family moved out of the country, to a place where real Mexican food is very hard to come by. We will often say to each other, "I'm craving El Indio" or "I'd do anything for some El Indio right now..." Whenever we visit Gainesville, this is our first stop. So delicious, so affordable. Important tip: Plan to eat everything (especially the hard shell tacos) immediately. Even 10 minutes of sitting in the bag as you drive home and they will be soggy from the salsa fresca, and you will be sad. So, dine in or plan to sit in the parking lot scarfing them down in your car.
I ordered one of the combos and it was really disappointing. Taco chicken and steak weren’t fresh and had bad taste.
I got all of this for $20!!!! The staff was super sweet and everything was incredible!!!
Amazing food, big portions, fair pricing, clean location and friendly staff. I make this restaurant my # 1 every time I am in Gainesville. Never disappoints. They have 2 locations in Gainesville. I recommend this restaurant to my family and and friends.
