What makes good Mexican food joint?? DIARRHEA…
Well maybe it isn’t a great ingredient, but if you’re in the bathroom the next day regretting life then you probably had some damn good tacos! I myself don’t have this problem (cough..Jorge..cough), but I know not everyone can have a golden colon of the gods (thanks Southpark).

Let’s get to the point… El Indio Mexicano = Greatness. Its open 24 hours…need I say more? I can’t count how many times I’ve been there. No seriously I can’t count how many times because it’s usually at 4am and I’m wasted out of my mind. El Indio is probably the ghetto-ist” taco spot around. That’s why they are the best! The ambiance consists of a walk-up window, prison bars and brightly colored picnic benches that would make Ronald McDonald puke. There is also an inside area for those cold nights, but there is a hint of urine and rape in the air so I wouldn’t recommend it. They are busiest at lunch or around 3am full of drunks.

Alright let’s get to the food! Everything on the menu comes in a hefty portion without the hefty price (suck that baja fresh). The tacos are FAT, they fill that tortilla up with no regard for spillage. The burritos are also pretty enormous and will only set you back around $4.50 unless you’re getting fancy. If you’re feeling extreme the nachos are where it’s at, piled high and sure to make a mess when you’re too drunk to find your mouth! Now here is the most important piece of info…when you order make sure you order by number if you want to get it right. Special orders do not exist in the Indio-verse.

In conclusion El Indio is a gleaming beacon of hope in the heart of the valley. I have been going there since I was a kid with my dad, I met my last girlfriend there, I will meet my next girlfriend there, they will cater my wedding and I will probably die there (from too many tacos or a drive by shooting).
