What Joan Endicott Robinson likes about El Indio Mexican Catering:
This place is the best. Dad worked at General Dynamics and would stop by El Indio to pickup tortillas, tamales and rolled tacos even back in the early 1950’s. Never had anything bad from El Indio. I’m in my 70’s, a San Diego Native fan and I highly recommend El Indio. View all feedback. What Alicia Grimes doesn't like about El Indio Mexican Catering:
decided to give Indio a shot. Not bad, not much taste. Pork Tamale good. Free beverage refills. Good service. Not sure I return to the price/value. You pay for the legacy hype and place. View all feedback.

Always enjoy the food here. It's pretty authentic and always tasty. Not fancy, prices are fair.
