EL Indio is the Big Brother to El Indio II. It's older of course but the food was everything I hoped for. The building is old but well kept and super clean! I decided to come here during the dead space between 3 and 5 so I could take pictures without making humans feel awkward. My waitress was very friendly and assisted me with picking out my dish. The food was on my table in less than 10 minutes! They have a fabulous wide spaced dining room and special event's section. The bar is full and you can get just about any drink you ask for. On Saturday night's between 9pm and 2am they have Karaoke for those of you that want to polish your vocal skills. Overall this restaurant passed my checklist (including the spotless bathroom) with flying colors! Congratulations El Indio!

What a gem. Super fast service, generous portions, and very well flavored meat. They are known for their fajitas. Very, very good. Los Dos amigos - beef taquitos and beef quesadilla. The highlight of the entire meal was the flavor of the meat. This is definitely the best place to go if you are in Portland. If you are looking for good chili rellenos, this is not your place. Spouse said her chili relleno was not fried correctly and still had egg.

Love this spot for authentic Mexican. They always get it right and the tortillas come out in original tortilla warmer pouches. There’s enough room here for the entire family so being everyone!
