    Beef taco, cheese enchilada, rica and beans.
    Janice M.

    First staff are always, always so nice . You are welcomed as soon as you walk in the door. Food is always delicious. This is pure old school Mexican restaurant. It just feels so warm. Love this place always.

    Carne asada plate

    Another perfectly cooked medium rare steak from Amor Indio. While others have switch to lesser cuts so save on costs, they are still serving ribeyes for their care asada.

    Chile relleno and a cheese enchilada

    Mi Amor is Amor Indio This is a great place for families and friends to hang out. It's a quiet, intimate setting with great service. They have a nice little bar and plenty of seating. Our server Roberto is phenomenal. He was very friendly and attentive. I would give him 10 stars for service. I ordered the chile relleno with a cheese enchilada. Both of them were served with a generous amount of cheese and sauce. Yum! It was served with rice and beans. Definitely a generous portion. I love picking the cheese off of the brans with a chip. So good! The chips and salsa are also pretty good. The salsa was delicious and the chips were nice and crispy. I'm definitely going back soon to try their margaritas.

    Delicious Shrimp Cocktail
    Indi H.

    My first time visiting this community gem. Decided to catch up with the friends and we all met at the bar. Bartender Nora made the BEST Cadillac Margaritas i've ever had!!! We ordered A taco plate, A carne asada plate, and Shrimp cocktail. The food was so delicious we were playing musical chairs with our plates. We all couldn't wait to try each-others dish. Portions are generous, hot, and authentic flavor... no fake Mexican food at this place. I only wish I could drink Cadillac margaritas & eat Crunchy Beef Tacos..EVERY DAY . What impressed me the most was that 9 out 10 customers ....that came in ... we're greeted like family. One lady i talked to mentioned that she and sister have been coming to Amor Indio for 20plus years... now THATS a great recommendation. It was evident that many customers were long time customers... and some where second generation .. i can understand why.... service was wonderful and my friends and I, lingered for a very long time .. definitely can't wait to return. Large establishment can handle big parties. Free parking in private lot. They cater, They do Take out, and i'm sure they also work with all the delivery services. Just be warned ... u will be addicted to good Mexican food.... after eating at Amor Indio .

    Delicious. Authentic. Tasty. You know when tortilla chips taste good the type of place eating at. Ordered the two tacos dorados combo plate.

    Margarita on the rocks

    Still holding strong!!! This place is still very good and authentic in flavor and presentation. Today we had the chili verde (green chili pork) with rice and beans. We also had the mole plate this was a meal for two. Everything was so delicious. This place is definitely authentic in taste and flavor. A must try is you are a goodie. Try the chicken mole and or the Chile Rojo or the chili verde. Don't be put off by the looks of this very small place that needs some upgrades. The price is right and although a little weathered it's very clean and presentable. They are currently serving in Togo containers easier to take home. Come by and give it a try. I am curious to hear about your experience and see you review. Yelp on!!!!

    Special burrito
    Brad H.

    We live right down the street and decided to try out something new. Of all the Mexican restaurants I searched for on Yelp, this seemed like the best choice. There is a big parking lot with a lot of spaces. Once we entered, we were cheerfully greeted by the bartender and our server brought us to our table right away. The interior gives a cozy family-owned vibes with carpet flooring and comfy booth seats. The complimentary chips and salsa was the bomb and probably the best salsa I have had in a while. We had a blended and on the rocks margarita at $6 which is a steal. Both were delicious and we will consider getting the pitcher next time for a bigger party. The special burrito had plenty of meat inside and will definitely fill you up, I ended up taking about 1/5 to go because I couldn't finish. The medium plate with two choices Chile Relleno and enchilada were also good but we will probably try something else instead of the Chile relleno due to not really knowing what it was in the first place and personal preference. (I am asian and mild lactose intolerant lol) It was really cheesy. Enchilada was great and would order again. The hot dark green salsa/sauce was pretty spicy just how I like it and added a nice kick to the meal. All in all a great experience and would come back to support again because of the good friendly service, affordable food, and margaritas.

You can park in the additional parking spots all around Shopper Ln. I have been a customer for many years and tried many delicious dishes. They serve a traditional Mexican open buffet at certain times. The waiting line is expected, but don't feel discouraged because it moves fast. The decor is vibrant enriched with colorful murals. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely warm. The restaurant has cozy and inviting ambience. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. I placed an online order for pickup. It was fast and convenient since I had friends coming for dinner. I ordered the following: - Burrito Panchon 5/5 Stuffed with carnita, beans and rice, served with cream, beans and guacamole. Huge portion! You can choose your protein. - Fajitas Cielo Mar Y Tierra 5/5 Marinated beef, shrimp, chicken. It served with sauteed bell peppers tomatoes and onions, rice, guacamole, beans and pico de gallo. It was smoky, savory and flavorful. - Vegetarian Enchiladas 5/5 Corn tortillas stuffed with bell pepper, corn, onion, carrot, cilantro, squash, and topped with a combination of cream and jack cheese. The portion was enormous. It was a very flavorful and savory. - Carna Asada 5/5 Flap meat marinated with homemade adobo. It served with pico de gallo, rice & guacamole. The meat was juicy and tender. It was such a delicious dish. - Empanadas 5/5 I chose chicken empanadas. It served with salad. The empanadas was crispy from outside and very flavorful. - Ensalada de Nopales 5/5 Diced cactus mixed with tomatoes, onion, lime, and cilantro. - Taquitos 5/5 It was crispy from outside with savory and juicy filling. - Taco de Cameron , taco de Pescado & taco de Birria 5/5 They were savory, juicy and delicious. - Beans 5/5 Topped with melted cheese, really delicious - Large Bionico Bowl 5/5 Fresh fruits like topped strawberries, mango, cantaloupe, banana, papaya, blueberries, apples, pineapple topped with granola and shaved coconut. It was rich, creamy. The fruits were fresh and sweet. It was heavenly! Every box was wrapped with layers of plastic wrap perfectly. I got a bag full of different types of salsa with my order and another bag with tortilla chips. The food portions were very generous. Every dish reflected authenticity and deliciousness. Fonda Don Chon has high quality, flavorful and delicious food. It is my FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT.

    I'm sorry, but I wanted to like this place. Let's start with…read morethe drink. -Cafe De Olla. I don't know, I've had it at quite a few places. Even made it myself. Just wasn't a fan of theirs. Now the food.... I had the Chon's Breakfast Comal. The chorizo was ok. Lacked quite a bit of flavor. Potatoes tasted kinda like they were boiled and then finished in a sauce, then plated. The bell peppers and onions were fantastic. A lot. But they were cooked well. Over easy eggs were decent, despite one of them being cooked all the way through. Comal was perfect temperature. But insanely greasy (which is expected from chorizo). Rice. Eh... Rice is rice. Wasn't bad. But was all "Oh my goodness this is amazing." Beans tasted like the refried Rosarita's can. Just topped with cheese. The salsa. It was pretty good. The 1st time. Until I found a hair. Then I was given a 2nd one. And when I decided to eat it, it was no good. It was starting to spoil. I realized this once I put it on a bite I was about to take and immediately put it in my food i was about to chew in my napkin. After about 15 minutes when my server finally came by, I told her of the situation. She said "I'll go check." Then disappeared. Someone else gave me the check, and then someone else brought the receipt. The initial server didn't pop up until I was getting up to walk out. So no manager interaction. No "we'll comp your coffee." Just a "Sorry you didn't like it." As I walked out. Ambiance is cool, but some table placement doesn't make sense. That needs to be addressed. Will I come back here? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. But I'm talking like 80 no /20 yea. So I guess we'll see.. So I'm giving this place 1 star. I'm sorry, but this is my opinion based on my 1st experience here. Maybe it'll be better. We'll see....
